You’ll like this car if you are looking for a stylish and comfortable luxury sedan that puts the emphasis on smooth, solid comfort rather than sporting performance. Image-conscious buyers will appreciate owning a marque known exclusively for its high-line status, yet at a more affordable price.
If your taste runs toward the ultra-modern, the 2008 Jaguar S-Type’s traditionalist design may appear old-fashioned. Driving enthusiasts won’t find the S-Type’s handling comparable to that of the BMW 5 Series or Infiniti M.
