Jaguar S-Type

Now replaced by the striking new XF, you might expect the ageing S-Type to slip quietly out of the Top 100. Surprisingly, though, it’s scored its best-ever Driver Power finish! You love the executive motor’s cosseting ride – Mercedes’ E-Class is the only car in this class to better it – plus the rapid
performance, strong brakes and fluid handling.

A fine cabin design and figure-hugging seats also win your praise. However, despite the impressive top 10 finish, there is still plenty wrong with the S-Type – thirsty petrol engines, woeful reliability and poor rear passenger space in particular. Thankfully, the XF has addressed all of these issues, so can we expect a top five finish for the Jaguar this time next year? We can’t wait to find out.

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

Thw big cat is back on form, overtaking all its German rivals. Taking a class victory for ride quality and offering lusty engines, Jaguars make their owners extremely happy indeed.
