Drove one today and what a nice car. "Sandstone" interior but like the 75, let down by light oak dash. Comfy seats.

That Jaguar is one stupendous motor car.

This is the one you should get, it is without doubt the best S Type around

belongs to Ziggy72, and the interior is stunning, black and red leather, and 420 bhp Supercharged V8

I started my Jaguar ownership with a S Type XS with full body kit and lowered at factory

Then went to a Jaguar XF3.0V6 Diesel, and still own it, and it has been extremely reliable,

and now also own a XKR convertible

Most of the Jags I have looked at had tinworm at relatively low ages (compared to the Rovers of similar age).

I drove them at work and they are very comfortable. The early petrols were thirsty but the diesels ( who decided to put an oil burner in a Jag? William Lyons will be turning in his grave!) were economical.

What do folk think of the performance from the 3.0 Petrol in the s type? I fancy a late sport or XS spec.

I have driven the 2.7 auto a few times as my father in law owns one however although it pulls well in all gears and is ten times better KV6 I am not a fan of the oil burners.

I got a 3.0 as a loan car for a morning while the STR was in getting serviced and it was ok, didn't have the torque or the pull of my previous 2.7 Diesel but that had a 258 bhp remap.
The 4.2 sport N/A petrol can be had for relatively cheap money and has 300 bhp as standard and uses little more fuel than the 3 litre if you want to stick with petrol.
