Pros: "The car did not give me any problems"

Cons: "The hood needs to bereplace"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"The hood needs to be repair and the right high light needs to be replace too. Otherwise the car runs excellent, the seats are in a very good condition, the electric system works perfect. Very comfortable and classic looking car. It only has one owner that drove it from home to work and from work to home."

Pros: "Smooth, Heat&A/C, comfortable"

Cons: "Gas, CD Player in trunk,"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

"This car drives very smoothly. It's comfortable, I drive quite a bit and it's not a hassle being seated for 2 hours. Radio is great! The a/c and heater work wonderful. I always get compliments on how great and luxurious it looks. It has a CD player. Newly installed lock/unlock remote control. Valet and Original key. Cruise control works great. Volume adjuster in the steering wheel. Sunroof. New windshield wipers."

This model was poorly built for US driving.

Pros: "nice body"

Cons: "fragual internal parts"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"It has transmission problems constantly. Many other people I met told me the same thing. Its nothing but a ford tauras in a Jaguar shell. The only door that you can insert your key is on the drivers side, so if the key battery wears out, you are in trouble. It costs over $550.00 to replace the car keys. The body looks good, and i'm not being critical, just truthful. It can't hold up like normal cars. I have had over $10,000 in internal repairs from so called 'normal' engine issues."

Pros: "zippy car, comfortable ride"

Cons: "bad paint sealant, replacing the transmission"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I love driving my S-type, V-8. It has great get-up-and-go, and is very comfortable to drive or ride in. It is quiet as it glides down the highway. There's a solid feel to the entire car. I have had trouble with the front window motors and had to replace the transmission at 38,000 miles. The sound system recently gave out due to a short, so I will be replacing that as well. I also need to have the car painted as the clear sealant is peeling, and it makes the car look awful (this could be due to the strong Hawaiian sun). Other than that, I love this car."
