Hi in 2024- funny thing is yiu can now get an F Type 3,0 V6S for the same price as a similar vintage TTS! Go figure-

That design on the F Type beats Porsche coupes in my opinion.

[@philipl1109]

I had a smile on my face for a week after test driving the F type R with every option on it. Problem is now I really want one!!!

[@PetrolPed]

Me too. I am going to review the F Type SVR in the next couple of weeks. I know I am going to want on of them !!!

[@philpeacock9839]

Just wanted to say a huge thank you. From this review it convinced me to get my F Type which I now love and fully agree with your review. Just wanted to show some appreciation for all your hard work that go into the chanel. Keep. Up the great work. Thanks again

[@PetrolPed]

Hi Phil. That’s amazing to hear and congrats on the car. Great choice 👌

[@mdfarren]

Have a 2016 V6 base 340 HP. Absolutely dynamite car. I am seeing a psychologist for anxiety issues. Love my F-type !!!!

[@BenM14-ZW11]

I am gonna order the 340HP, i just cant find a used car i like with the spec i want.

[@mdfarren]

Canadian quota is small. I see maybe one a week in Vancouver. I test drove the R V8 but it was insane. I drive up the road to Safeway !...They sourced my car in Calgary and shipped it. Brand new...warranty et al. It is base 340 V6, but had $10,000 of options. Glass roof etc.....MSRP was $89,000, but I spent 2 weeks negotiating, and was happy with the deal in the end. I drive it permanently in dynamic mode (think we all do)....I like annoying people and my neighbours complain about the noise. YES !!!!!Be serene.M.

[@elmcitymassmedia4211]

Malcolm Ferran I know I'm late but does your car have active exhaust? If it doesn't, his does the base model exhaust sound without it???? This car is absolutely beautiful geez

[@Dejan_23Unlimited]

Man, you are funny... but yes I have the same problem with my V6S

[@commantrosexetlos4700]

isnt tho a bit low the power? 340hp is 90s power

[@patrickjamessimpson7268]

this is one of my favorite test drive videos. just look at ped's reactions to that noise and power. what a car

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers James. This was my first 'proper' sports car I got to review. I've always loved the F Type so to get to finally drive one was very special and I think it showed in my face :-)

[@Diomedes01]

I recently purchased a 2016 F Type. White with a manual transmission. It truly is an incredible machine. One thing I will state is the seats are a little stiff. Maybe I am just noticing because my other car, which is an Acura TL sedan, has very comfortable seats. But overall, it really is an incredible ride. And quite smooth actually. I had half expected a rougher ride due to being a sports car with stiffer suspension. But in actuality, it rides quite nice.

[@PetrolPed]

The ride is firm but compliant, but that make is go round corners well ;-) I bet it's nice with a manual :-)

[@BenR99]

You can changing dynamic suspension to normal in the settings. It’s still firm though

[@andrewmaddison1763]

Just bought one can't wait to pick it up

[@PetrolPed]

Nice 👌

[@BruceRosenblatt]

To answer your question, I do not have the SVR but I do own the V8 soft top. The performance of the car is absolutely incredible. I traded in my SL65 AMG for the Jag so I get the performance factor. The exhaust sound is that much more intense and the horsepower difference truly puts the car on the border of supercar status. The total driving experience of this car is unmatched in this price category. Yes I have driven a 911 Turbo but definitely does not get the smile on your face the Jag does!

[@PetrolPed]

Hi Bruce. The V8 soft top would be my choice too. An awesome machine :-)

[@Dan89er]

When in sport mode and flick the paddles to manual does it automatically upshift and downshift? I know in dynamic mode it holds the gears

[@adammarkowitz7944]

I have a '17, RWD V6(380). I'm in love, too.

[@richnewall8564]

Beautiful car, great to see Jaguar doing so well again. One day I will own one but not for a few years yet!

He is literally lost for words and that's better than any compliment in communicating to the viewer how good the car is. Having seen the vid, I'm now in no doubt the F Type S is a fabulous sports car. Quite possibly The best of what 2010's had to offer.

[@PetrolPed]

Sure is 👍

[@VishalGupta-od5mf]

This is my favourite review of the F-Type. I feel the thrill and exhilaration of the drive and what a beautiful looking car. I love the leather combo of the interior. It's the car I so want after watching this review over and over again. It's sporty and classy!

[@Mike-tt9nr]

My favorite f-type vid yet. Thanks man. Im in the U.S n im buying an f-type coupe 6cyl. It came down to that or a 911 997 and if i got that id have to change the stock exhaust bc its blah and the rims and maybe even lowering springs but with the jag i dont have to change a thing. So im waiting for a 14-16 silver or white with red interior to pop up near me. The jag does sound epic! The poppin on the downshift is sick! Thanks again

So there is the 2l at 300 hp, 3l at 340 hp, 3l S at 380 hp, 5l S at 490 hp, 5l R at 540 hp, and 5l SVR at 570 hp

@@swansmeister haha I own the F-Type so I'm biased too! Before that I owned a couple of Maserati GranTurismos which also sound fantastic stock.

[@swansmeister]

@@AJF4Me well they both sounds great and imo both have the same problem, the go doesnt match the sound nor looks. I know you can tune em both en being the fastest isnt always everything but having a car that looks so good, even capturing the E type's beauty and than getting fucked by a gold gti or golf r would be just too painfull for me.

I’ve got a 2017 V6S in Storm Grey with black Tornado 20’s and extended leather. I can’t describe how much I love the car. I like the V6 soundtrack more than the V8. Depending what mode you drive in it’s a wider variety and sounds absolutely perfect at 2-3,000rpm. Thanks for the brilliant review!! I’m excited for spring here in the USA

[@PetrolPed]

Wow, you car sounds lovely. Enjoy the Spring 👍

[@bensmiling]

I’m picking mine up in two weeks. V6 S in silver with red sport seats... sound familiar? Soft top version. Honestly can’t wait. Bring on spring.

[@clivesheppard]

Thanks Ped, for a lovely review - I really enjoy your channel. As a Brit living abroad (Romania) I wanted a sports car and if it could be British too then even better! For almost 2 years now, I've been a very lucky and happy owner of a V6 S convertible in Italian Racing Red and I love it to bits. F-Types are rarer than hen's teeth here so I imported a 2015 model from Germany with just 23,000 kms on the clock and it drives like new. The pops and bangs make any day a good/great day. I haven't driven it on the famous Transfagarasan highway yet, but perhaps that's something to keep for this coming summer. All the best!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Clive. This is an old one now 😳

[@travfdy]

Great review. Love the happiness and positivity I see in all the reviews on this car.

[@jamiermathlin]

I have the Convertible V6S and it is epic, the sound with the roof down is just unbelievable, it blows my socks every time I drive it. I did test drive the V8S convertible when choosing my car, and I have to say it was a bit intimidating, the V6S was the choice for me, and to be honest, I love the V6 exhaust sound, its like being in the 1960's fab !

[@PetrolPed]

Jamie R. Mathlin It's a tough choice. I'd only go for the V8 if it has AWD ! Both awesome cars though 👍

[@L1AXYZ]

Most of the reviewers really rave about this car and now I know why! Holy smokes. This is probably my new car crush :)

[@PetrolPed]

It's certainly mine Alissa. Check out my F Type SVR review...takes it to a whole new level !!

Yep it puts a smile on your face every ride. Had mine 2 weeks now and loving it. Driven both Coupe and rag top .... Coupe has a decent boot ... but for a weekend car rag top would be my choice too but don't plan putting more than a picnic box in the boot !!!

[@PetrolPed]

Hi Marc, you lucky thing ! I am aiming for an F Type for the next car and want the convertible, however the size of the boot is the big problem ! It just too small and that comes from a Mini owner :-)

I was going to leave any change until spring .... but then this came along V6 S AWD with 3,800 miles on the clock ... the rest as they say is history !

[@Dejan_23Unlimited]

Funny thing is, I think for earring who has the car. You watched he review, get existed again and again and that you remind me yourself that you have same one in the garage and just make life worth living. And that sound, you can't stop smiling, breaking necks is standard :) Man I love your review to the point - but adore my car, V6S white with red !

Hey, thanks!

An iconic English brand for sure, it's been around for a long time. This model is great because you can get it with a proper manual gearbox, that way you actually get to _drive_ and properly interact with the car.

lol manual is so fucking overrated.

[@stevehardwick8146]

Partly based on your excellent review (thank you!), I bought one of these two days ago. 65 plate £28,000 with a lot of extras. Like you, I'm left almost speechless. Just a GREAT car and, secondhand, it represents really good value at this point. Driving cars and riding motorcycles for 45 years, this is the best vehicle I've owned...and I've been lucky enough to own some very well-regarded (and expensive) vehicles over the years. Coming up 63, I guess I'm the classic later life silver haired crisis purchaser (the neighbours are already whispering) but I couldn't give a t*ss! 👍😁

Wow that’s a lot of car for the money 👌👏👏

2:15 NOT "Sport Seats" (they come as standard), these are the optional "Performance Seats".

[@nickjh1968]

A stunning car no question. A friend works for JLR and explained how Jaguar actually engineered the exhaust sound to achieve that lovely rasp and crackle.Question is if I could afford it would it be an F type or an R8? Maybe time for a test on the Audi?

[@PetrolPed]

I know it's engineered but it still sounds mega ! R8 or F Type ? That is a VERY good question ! I'm working on Audi to get an R8. I'm an Audi fan but the Jag is gonna take some beating. I'm hoping to get behind the wheel of the F Type SVR in a few weeks. That will win hands down !!

Yes it is worth the extra money for sure

[@jlue1993]

Great review....! I know the F-Type isn't as technically good on paper as its rivals. But I think as an overall package when you consider the looks, the character (of the car and engine) and how it makes you feel, Jaguar have scored big time with the F-Type...! I'd buy one over a Porsche in a heartbeat.

[@PetrolPed]

Me too Joshua. It made quite an impression on me. In this guise it was very usable too. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face ! Glad you enjoyed my review. Ped.

[@mdfarren]

Doc has upgraded me to a psychiatrist. This is not Chichester, it's downtown Vancouver. The F-Type seems to be aggravating the anxiety issues !....I drive in dynamic mode up to Safeway. I like annoying people and my neighbours complain about the noise it makes. 18 months and only 5,000 KM. Talked to dealer about upgrading to an SVR. I must be mad.

[@PetrolPed]

Check out my SVR review and there will be no turning back !!! Those things are truly awesome, probably my fav car I have driven so far on Petrol Ped :-)

[@mikes3827]

I finally got an F-Type here in the US, and aside from the impracticality that presents itself by virtue of owning the Jag...screw it! Even with the 6 cyl, it is sooooo much fun to drive. And the "sexy" factor NEVER gets old (not only from myself admiring it, but to still get compliments on the car). Maybe it's just me, but while I know the Aston Martin Vantage and F-Type shared similar design cues (I think the same guy designed both), I find the Jag to look every bit as handsome as the MUCH, MUCH more expensive Aston.

[@jimbandit1250sa]

You’re right about breaking the law. - it is all too easy, luckily I live in the country and know the roads around here, which aren’t as busy as I was used to when I lived in West Sussex.

Great review, here's a tip, next time you go past the dealer pop in and ask him about the switch to the right of the gear stick, yes the black and gold one. I was talking to the deal near me who was talking to the designer who said he got this switch from the Euro fighter (TYPHOON) really, and this is the exact same one. that's why it looks so different from all the rest.

[@Catfordkeith]

Had my '14 380 Coupe a couple of months now. Shock horror- it doesn't have the loud exhaust button ! However, put it in Dynamic and sport (why not) and it is plenty loud enough for me ! As this review goes, he's telling us he loves the car. Did he cane it round bends and feel how absolutely planted and rock steady it is ? Possibly, but would he want the car owers to know- I doubt it. My F Type is far better than I had imagined it to be and like Malcolm Ferran I am utterly smitten- so much so that I talk to it when she is being cleaned, and when applying the polish. Buffing the polish off is a joy- those smoothe long lines and lovely shapes are almost erotic, and when she's proper shiney my missus tells me I love the car more than her, but when i take her out in it she says I'm mad- but she loves the noise, the accelleration, the cornering and even the cruising burble. She is concerned that I turn into a nutter every time I get in the car. "It's not me love" I tell her, "it's the car- it makes me do those things. It's what it was built for "! She's still mulling over that one.

[@PetrolPed]

Sounds like you are loving the F Type. Still one of my favourite cars I have driven on Petrol Ped !

[@xay6460]

how reliable has it been?

[@Catfordkeith]

@@xay6460 Totally ! Not missed a beat at all, on the button every time, even after nearly 2 months in the Garage due to snow and that nasty salt on the roads. Did over 600 trouble free miles in 2 days and am still utterly smitten. Sadly, there is a corrosion problem which JLR are very reluctant thus far to sort out. This is an awesome car, not the fastest but plenty fast enough noisy and reliable.... thus far.

[@lecoze2797]

ok!!!!thanks

[@royvideossitai1309]

my dream car

[@lukas_maximus]

Ive been pondering about an m3 or f type and youve just made my mind up with this brilliantly produced video, f type all the way, you only live once f#@k practicality, ill do the shopping in the work van 😂😂. Im going to look at a v6s tomorrow Getting the feeling this is the better all-rounder for the road than the v8, lighter more accessible power, whats your opinion on the best engine for the real world?

[@MrIFARI]

Nice review....How tall are you and was the car comfortable for you? Is the F Type roomy enough for someone 6ft. 2" tall? Thanks

[@PetrolPed]

Hi There. I'm 6ft 3" with a 35" inside leg and there was plenty of room for me. The F Type is a very comfortable car for the taller driver. It you like F Types you should check out my F Type SVR review. That car was AWESOME !

[@MrIFARI]

That is great to know.....I can't wait to check the car out and will check your other review out too....Thanks again.

Petrol Ped nice

[@asimnadeem528]

Would love to buy one but the insurance is just ridiculous

[@finlaydownham-white6823]

Best far ever! SeenThroughGlass' one is just amazing... His is an F-Type R though...

[@PetrolPed]

Sam's car is stunning. I've seen it close up :-)

[@finlaydownham-white6823]

Petrol Ped Lucky...

[@mockone]

What a beautiful car inside and out! They really did a fantastic job with the looks and functionality to make it match the price tag. Downside is I'd definitely get into trouble with that one 😆

[@PetrolPed]

Oh Yes...it's easy to do that :-)

[@purplemonstertv]

Great vid. I love these cars so nice

[@PetrolPed]

Right up there with my favourites and hopefully my next car !

[@purplemonstertv]

That be cool

[@versatilefortnite]

I have a question on that car can you adjust the seat or no ?

[@sebastianhudson1794]

Hi PP, i hope you're well. Great review of a great car. I'm 6' 1' do you think the seat has enough adjustment and headroom? Also, did the panoramic roof open? Keep up the great work on your reviews

[@PetrolPed]

Yep. Plenty of space 👍

[@R04drunner1]

Awesome video. It's not the first review I have seen of a supercharged Jaguar when the reviewer lapses into delighted laughter! I have a 2016 XF S: same supercharged engine, 5.1 seconds 0-60, similar suspension and red/black interior. I did a run on Saturday with a pal and we were both doing the "laugh out loud" thing. The XF doesn't have the same exhaust sound, sadly, but definitely has the same Jaguar pace and grace, plus even more space (room for rear passengers and more luggage). Loved this review and enjoying the channel!

[@papagen00]

Did you also drive the XK and how did it compare?

[@PetrolPed]

Hi There. I've not driven an XK yet so don't know how they compare.

[@cheeky69ok]

I had an XKR for many years and even though mine was modified with R-S suspension and fully polybushed it gets nowhere near the pin-sharp handling of the F-Type. The fact the F-Type is considerably lighter, not as long and only 2 seats goes some way to achieving a better handling experience. Seriously the guys at JLR have really sorted this car - it is amazing and in my opinion better than a Cayman-S or 911....it really is THAT good.

[@papagen00]

@@cheeky69ok still like your F-Type in 2023? any issues?
