Torn between next car, M5, 740il, s500/55, E55, Jag S-Type R, XJR, LS400??

Jags? Man their powertrain is complete shit. Stuff will randomly not work. The car is moody and it will suddenly refuse to start (not the battery either).

You need one of these brotha...

Big ballin, i can def see myself UpSideDown after trying to take a corner in one of those lol.

I know Jags are infamous from reliability issues, but these complaints were mostly from X-Type (garbage)...those were pretty much Euro Mondeo in different skin. 3.0 S-Types are in same category since they share lot with X-type mechanically. Even S-Type 4.0's are plagued with problem because they have the 5speed auto from 3.0. Jag really stepped build quality when it came to S-Type R, new 6spd auto tranny (same as 745il), reworked engine. If i do buy a S-Type R, it will be 04+ so all the early production kinks are worked out.

Let me know, I'd love to come test drive those with you lol. I've never driven any of the Rs, but the XJ Vanden Plas was a freakin oasis on wheels though!
