2003 Jaguar S-TYPE Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers of the 2003 Jaguar S-TYPE express a lot of positive feelings about their cars. They particularly love the performance, design, and comfort, noting how enjoyable it is to drive, especially on long trips. However, some owners mentioned challenges with maintenance and less rear leg room as downsides."
The interior was very comfortable and well made. I cannot opine on the driving experience as the vehicle would not start, likely a fuel pump or fuel line problem, and given the condition of the tire sidewalls, a test drive may have been a risk.
August 24, 2025I bought my car new in 2003. Have now completed 147,000 miles only problem I have had is a sender unit in the fuel tank had to be changed the car behaves perfectly and on a run from Boca Raton to Tampa I will get about 28mpg how about that for a V8
February 13, 2008This is a great car, pampered, well maintained, awesome car on the road. Performance, acceleration and braking is terrific! Very smooth, road hugging, very comfortable on long drives in the mountains!! Fun to drive especially with the 6 speed trans.

February 5, 2011Well it'll be mine soon and very soon. But pretty much the 4.2L scoots really quickly, the transmission shifts seamlessly, and she still returns up to 31 mpg on the highway in steady state cruising. 50/50 weight distribution leads to very stable and predictable handling, though understeers a bit much for my taste at the limit. The ride is smooth and quiet as expected, and the stock Bose stereo is excellent. Seats are supportive enough, though lacking in rear leg room if the front passengers are in a comfortable position. The brakes are excellent, though the mushy pedal takes some getting used to. Steering is communicative and light around town, but nicely weighted at speed. The interior is beautifully crafted in Burl Walnut and leather, and has held up very nicely. 5 years later, still attracts (too much) attention.
July 6, 2008Classic Jag lines, American reliability. Easy maintenance. Timeless value.
August 19, 2023I love my Jag!!!!! It is very fast, built very solid and looks great. I love it when people check out my car. It gets an average of 27 Mile to the gallon. I have only seen one other car that looks like it. My wife is getting sick of me talking about it.
August 25, 2008I love almost everything about this car. It has put the joy back into driving again, especially on long distance trips. At 70 mph I can have a quiet conversation with a passenger without having to speak loudly, as I did in my '96 Avalon.
