Sounds like we both bought our first Jaguar cars around the same time :) I've had my S-Type for just over 2 weeks now. I've always wanted one, but never thought I'd get one. I have the 2.7 Diesel model as well. It's done just over 118K miles, but there's not a hint of smoke from the exhaust, but it's so powerful when needed. For what I paid for it, it's an excellent car, it just needs a bit of TLC.
