"Middle-man's jag"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

1) Air conditioning offered weird smells

2) Brakes started to squeak and started to wear off within 20,000kms

3) windows screeched everytime operated

4) CD player skipped and never fully played the cd's

5) the reception of the radio was VERY poor

6) the autoheadlights kept blinding other drivers.

General comments?

1) very good for taking to the mtns

2) good all-wheel drive - nvr lost control on snow

3) seats too hard and the J-shifter must be removed

4) the sports package should include ody kit and a larger spoiler.

All-wheel-drive in the S-Type?

Are you sure?

And if that were the only "problem"... An S-type R with a 2.5 lt engine?

4 x4, snow, mountains, does this person expect one to understand any of the comments plus automatic headlights blinding, the automatic function has nothing to do with angles or brightness, does he mean light sensative lighting system, if one is to comment can we have factual and logical statements please.

I have had mine for two years.. with a couple of problems, but the dealership always took care of it ~ even giving me another Jag as a loaner. So overall I have been satisfied, plus I just overall love my car. I will for sure consider getting another one as my next car.

This bloke is talking rubbish! there has never been a all wheel drive S type.

If he is talking about a Jaguar it has to be an X type and they didn`t have a type R???
