    Summary

    Pros: Touch screen NAV and audio combo

    Cons: The front grill is too gaudy

    Advice: R-type only one to get

    Very responsive in both accelaration and handling. Interior made with very quality oriented materials. Recaro seats are supportive during lateral forces.

    2002 Jaguar S-Type - 3.0L V6

    Submitted on 8/19/2002 2:07:45 PM
    Summary

    Pros: The grill and head light design in the front; very unique and different from any car today.

    Cons: The rear looks way too much like a Ford Taurus. Interior leather looks kind of cheap.

    Advice: Test drive other makes in the same class to make sure it is what you really wanted.

    I test drove both the manual and automatic transmission. I personally prefer the manual as I felt it has more umph! as far as control and acceleration. Although, there is a bit of tension in the clutch, but it could be because I'm used to the clutch of my Acura. The drive was smooth and quiet and handled well at tight turns.
