As the title says I bought a (lightly) used 2006 Jaguar S-Type R today... 37k miles and outside of some curb rub and a couple blemishes, it's mint. Current daily is a 2004 Ford Focus and plan to keep it that way with my STR being more of a joy toy. I originally was looking for something with a stick but when I saw this listing and went to see it in person then finally drive it. Even on some older tires the car is so planted and puts down the power so well. Steering feel as well as the rest of the car impressed me in the corners, did not feel like 4000 pounds. I have no idea how the previous owner so seldomly drove it. I know most modern performance cars will out perform my STR in every way but there is something magical about the car. I've been bit by the cat.
