I owned one of these with 260000km or 161000 miles on the odometer and it was in mint condition! It didn't have ANY of these problems or faults you showed. So I guess this individual just haven't been taken care of...

Got mine....03 S type R 63k miles.... love this car, nice sleeper/ cruiser. It definitely turns heads even still

Also I have been in a Nissan, Lincoln Navigator and Ford Fusion also.

I feel this is how reviews should be done... You executed no restraint on the cars weak points. I feel like most reviewers kind of look the other way on negative points.

I just got my first one 12/14/2019 a 2002 3.0 and I must say that I left a cts 3.6 liter for it but in the cadillac at 90 100 mph you can feel it in my jaguar at 90 its so calm and I'm on 20 inch wheels and tires. I have some wheel noise but im the type that likes that makes me feel connected to the road. I loved my cadillac but damn man this freaking jaguar is somthing else.

Always have loved the S-Type R!

Better looking than a Mercedes E-Class in my opinion.

Low on fuel, check engine light on. Yeah, let's rev it. Ugh, so awesome.

It is a shame you tried such a worn car. I did like your video though. A friend of mine has got a pristine version from an old man who really never drove it. It is so dark blue that it is almost black. I totally agree with you on the faults in the car. It does have hard plastic. The gauges do look like something out of an old ford siesta. It is compromised in places. Still: REALLY comfortable and overall luxurious. Of course all of the shortcomings are saved and excused because of that glorious engine. It sounds so beautiful and pulls so incredibly hard that people just giggle when you floor it. It is a guilty pleasure luring in obviously tuned cars at stoplights and then ABSOLUTELY demolishing them with sheer acceleration - and yelling along with the insane sound of the supercharger whine :)

This car is incredible

I used to have one of these but it got stolen from outside my house; along with $5000 worth of clothes, CDs and jewelry that was in the trunk. I never found out what happened to it. It's probably in Mexico or Nicaragua or somewhere by now! Thanks for this review, it brought back good memories.

Great looking Jag!

Christian, I know this car will be thirsty but this totally suits you.

It's not in bad shape. Previous owners just didn't take care of it well!

if you are going to review this car, you might want to at least get the horsepower right as it is a big part of what makes the R AN R. it has 400 horsepower which puts it slightly above the xjr and the xkr. they come in at 390 horsepower.

Engine management warning! light is showing. What was or still is the fault ?

these old Jaguars generation are so.. English looking. prefer them more to new though. Good videos! you seem to notice detail in each manufacturer and specific car, i like that. my dad had an xj8, 4L v8. nice car.. had it's own drive specific to Jaguar. I drove it at times just to change things up from my BMW e39.. harsh as hell but thats why I own a BMW.

Jag S-type 2003 super car👌

My car has double these miles and I have zero of the issues he showed. It's a typical auction car, not well taken care of

what kind of rims were those?

What kind of coolant do you use??

I love the Volvo next to this!

how wouldd you use that u shifter to shift manually?

My cousin left a sippy cup that was filled with milk when she was little in my aunts Pathfinder and she could not find the source of the stench for months

We had a 2002 ford focus ZTW and our sun roof did the same thing

5:04 its common with all RWD cars, not just jaguars, its because the transmission is located there

I have this same car...HOW does one unlock the passenger door without unlocking ALL?

Seems like either the suspension is gone or someone lowered it.

can u do that sequoia that was there

Excellent review of a Jaguar built down to a Ford standard.

I have a jaguae 2003 s type 20,000 miles everything is perfect the best car I have

Honestly my own opinion that I haven't been in a Infiniti,Dodge,Jeep, Volvo, Acura,Range Rover, and also Jaguar before why because it has been 17 years now I haven't been in all these cars before also.

RE: hockey161616 Ikr..I'm about go see if it has been pampered properly tomrw

I love my stype

I am about to purchase the S Type with the 4.0L!!! I wonder if the supercharger for the 4.2L would fit it

Haha not surprised that the Jag is a smokers car, you can't always tell with those car lighter though, most of the time I use mine but some people just like using there regular flame lighter

My grandma used to have one of these. She didn't drive like an "old fart grandma"

was gonna buy one saw the engine light game over

That car actually saved jaguar. Thanks to ford.

My gaydar is strong with this one.

You didn't mention the XJ220. That was the most powerful jag ever produced ;)

I would buy this just for the engine!!

How is the reliability and which motor is the best for long term use ?

Do the s60 next to it.

I liked this but then I saw the mirrors and the steering wheel

I don't think Jag engineers had that concept in mind. Would be too much fuss on a J-Gate if you attempted doing it which I don't think would be recommend.

just found this same car.. with 108k miles.. for 5500!

Make a video of Daewoo Lanos XD

I don’t understand why people make reviews and they say everything is bad about car they talk. How could u not to like anything about this car. I think do not have an idea how to do review.

Sort of reminds me of the Kia Amanti

The Jaguar and Ford bits are fine. The electronics left over from BMW ownership are the source of most of the cars problems. The same is true for the Range Rover that used the same engine and transmission but carried over the BMW electronics until the 2007 model year. Check online and guess what? The BMW 5 and 7 series cars from that era have the same electronics and the same problems, Duh!

Poor car wasn't taken care of correctly what a shame it's nice inside and out

I would prefere an E55 amg over this

I have 2009 one It is almost the same

Check engine light is on >_

new jaguars are nowhere near as good they look better but the speed is better on this i have this car with 50,000 miles 4.2 supercharged

London was bombed before the USA entered the war, and due to US neutrality at the time Standard Oil was allowed to sell the fuel additives to Germany to get the Luftwaffe off the ground. Standard Oil was the only company in the world who had the additive Hitler needed, and when the USA entered the war Standard Oil were then fined and stopped from giving Hitler his additives. So USA made the Blitz in London possible. And think of the lives Britain saved in India, and the fact they unified India.

Why does my 3.0 have 160mph and yours 150? Nice though

considering a 3.0L for a first car because it's the cheapest (fast ish) car I can afford to insure

Sounds nothing like as good as my V8 M5 with muffler delete.

IT IS A AWESOME CAR MEN'S CAR

I am a 2003 Jag owner and tbh I hate it! I had a black one exactly the same before and I didn't hate it, however some drunk bastard crashed into it while it was parked. My new car has had nothing but electronic issues. This includes the headlights, sunroof, blinkers, seats not retaining their memory, heater/ac being fickle, and now my transmission is starting to act fucky. It only has 60k on the motor, too! I'm over it and I'm ready to make it look real pretty and dump it on the next unsuspecting fool thinking they are getting a "Jag".

Indians regard unification as a pro of Brit rule. As for the Brits sticking their noses in around the world: fact is the Brits weren't the original European imperialists; continentals were. The reason the Brits engaged into the Imperial Age is because they had to match the power of the Europeans with their own imperial built forces in order to not become a Spanish/French colony themselves. Brits had to become imperial to survive. India would have been French, and USA Spanish but for the Brits.

The interior is exactly same as X type.

Everything is broken cuz guys like u get in it and start pressing every single button when it's uncalled for everyone knows what a window button does no need to go around and press them all

I'll pay you 10,000 for the type r I have the 3.0 v6 still fast but I need more power

Was it your intent to show how little you know about Jaguars? This is a fine example of mistreated Jag. I drove my 03 S Type for 15 years and 150,000 miles. NONE of the items that are broken in your car were ever broken on mine . I had the 4.2 V8 base. I just sold the S Type to my cousin, it looks as if it came off the showroom floor. The only issues were that of any car. Tires, brakes, oil changes. That's it. I only sold it to buy the new Supercharged XF Portfolio. I hope this one is as good as the S Type was for me. I feel sorry for whoever buys the abused piece of shit you have. It should make a good salvage vehicle for parts.

I think you have a tatty example here, although I would agree that there are certain cheap parts to the otherwise very plush interior that make you scream "Why???" Interestingly, the newer XF has as many, if not more cheap and plasticky parts but Jaguar seem to have hidden them better by making everything in the driver's line of sight really beautiful.

This car wasn't well taken of..... I own a 2004 Jaguar S-type 4.2 and it has been really reliable and the most awesome car to drive!!! If you take care of this car it will last for a long time! But sadly the owner is an asshole.......

Pretty negative attitude and I don't care for un-necessary add on remarks.

New Jaguars are a million times better.

I'm looking at one locally for 150k miles in better condition than this one. Obviously neglected

Did he steal this car and just start talking and filming?

but is there an aux cord jack?

Nice to talk crap about European cars but what do you have to say about the first gen Mercedes ML wich where produced in the usa and every cheap plastic part broke. Do you an American car in wich you can take a corner without needing the complete road AND pavement? 60% of 2010 onwards shelby's are for sale with the rear axle gone because the last driver stept one time on the pedal and lost it😂😂😂😂😂

Clear knowledge of Jaguars should tell you as the author of this video, that this example is a clearly neglected one. Here in the UK and in Europe I'm sure, we "Actually" take care of our Jags, and you'll find a much older Jag that'll look better than this! And please try if you can not to compare this prestigious car to that hunk of Junk u call a Lincoln.

fucking jags are growing on me i better get off car videos

This video is hilarious, nothing works! I always thought these jags were a bit flimsy, also a lot of these parts were used in Aston Martins! I had a 95 (X300) XJ6 and it was a lot more robust, even the leather lasted better. After watching a few of the videos I'm convinced you're homosexual; you're always using words like ass, bottom, behind, gluteus maximus and even slipped jizz into this video. You should have your own comedy channel.

pajeros v6 sounds way better

No, no, no. That's what the British want you to think. If there was unification then Gandhi wouldn't have had a problem with them. The British stuck their noses in too many locations around the world where they didn't belong.

So the guy makes his comments but doesn't even drive it? What a clown. Do you want to surprise a bunch of Honda, Acura, 5.7 Hemi guy fanboys on the street? Buy one. Watch them get smaller in your rear view mirror. Just say I know because a friend told me...

Do not get a s type. It will be worth zero in one year. You will be sorry. I am a factory trained tech. You will be sorry ! Go and buy a Honda, Toyota, Nissan or anything that is not a jag. Do not do it !

not that rare

Enough talking & show the fucking car.

After Ford sold jaguar and land Rover to tata motors ,it went down hill

You have no idea what your talking about you slate this because is English

S type R. A temp car for stupid people. That's it !

I would buy this just for the engine!!

lol "VW grimlin"
