2000 Jaguar S-Type review from North America
"Appearances can be deceiving"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission is failing for no apparent reason.
General comments?
The car rides smoothly, except when shifting.
The transmission has always been sticky, and now at a little over 87,000 miles I'm needing to replace it, and I think that is absurd.
The worst part is that every mechanic I've talked to, only give me the reply that they're crap cars and that this is a chronic problem with Jaguars. It kills me to pay half the car's value to fix it.
