2003 Jaguar S-Type R review from North America
"A high performance luxury car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Low profile tires wear very quickly.
Steering column has had to be replaced for an unknown noise.
Rear cup-holder broke even though it was never used.
"Check Engine" light illuminates for no reason.
General comments?
This is a very exciting car.
The supercharger makes a great sound when you put the pedal to the floor.
A zero to sixty time of 5.0 seconds.
Beautiful looks that everyone looks at as you pass them.
However the car can put a dent in your pocket when it is fully loaded at $78,000.
