2004 Jaguar S-Type 3.0 review from North America
"Fast like a rocket and very unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission needed to be replaced at 42000 miles.
Transmission needed to be replaced again at 48000 miles.
At 50000 miles car began to drink engine engine coolant at rapid rates.
Oil leaks after 50000 miles.
62000 miles engine burns oil more frequently.
Electrical failure while outside in the winter.
General comments?
The car drives great and handles way above par.
Performance is what this car is meant for.
High Maintenance, will eat up your wallet.
The Jaguar purrs like a kitten.
The interior however, is very flimsy, too many cheap plastics.
The Ford horn makes it sound like a Ford.
