I've had both cars and you guys are right on the money, but my '17 F Type has an 8 speed transmision which is not slow-shifting, it's delightful. Of course nothing beats a PDK. My Cayman S ('17) had a stick which was as good as it gets. Two magnificent cars: one more for the track, one more for the road. Both beautiful looking as well.

I traded my 2014 Porsche 911 4S Cab in on a 2016 Jag F Type R and never looked back! The Jag is a freaken beast and pulls the Porsche to shame! 550hp, 1/2 sports car, 1/2 muscle car, all luxury and style!

[@ZoltanF1LH]

Exactly! Perfect description, I couldn't have said it better myself 😁

[@xkimopye]

Yep perfectly suit me too. I love muscle cars and I love sexy low sports cars. The coupe is drool worthy. I’m buying something special for my 40th birthday, this may be it.

[@peterhammer6915]

I would never swap a Porsche into a V8 F-type. I could change but then definitely the V6. The V8 feels very nose heavy when driving and I really hate understeer. Its a muscle car and fast on a straight line but the V6 is much more fun.

[@dallasstang2818]

If you want a sports car, you wouldn’t buy a Boxster. You’ll be buying the Cayman. The Jag is just a better “midlife crisis” vehicle. Smooth, comfortable, exhilarating, and faster than you can likely handle or should be going in any car. Lol

[@clu4u]

@@dallasstang2818Unless you’re a pro racer and not a bench racer, you can’t tell the freakin’ difference. Cornering at 0.70 g would have a passenger barfing all over the place. Get real. For my money, nothing better than my 981 Spyder. What do you drive? A Mustang, lol??

[@ThomasHoffDE]

I have the F-Type S coupe (which looks better than the convertible). I like the Porsche, but the Jag is so sexy and fun. That exhaust never gets old for me. Its far more fun imo.

[@odinikita4821]

I bought both!! Both great but different enough to entice for different reasons. Correction i dont have the 718 but the 981 boxster s. Having both cars, i can say these guys have got a few things wrong, for example the jags auto is not slow, granted it aint a pdk but the best torque converter box in the world, ZF 8 sp. Bosxter s is 100%, the f type 90% with most other sports car/cars a very distant 50% behind.

[@ZoltanF1LH]

Finally someone pointed it out 👍 The ZF is also more reliable and cheaper to fix

[@johnnyboy1586]

So true ,no way is the zf slow,most reviewer say that the differences between twin clutch and zf are miniscule,plus you have the benefits of the torque converter in heavy traffic and everyday use

[@jesseyoannidis1274]

I'm pretty sure the F-Type has an eight speed, not a seven speed like said in the video?

[@danielhambleton9415]

Yes, the F-type has an 8 speed ZF transmission.

[@club2119]

f type more beautiful

[@pg3274]

But I got a Boxster S ;-)

[@imdr911]

I have a large car collection. In that collection i have a Boxster RS 60 w the Sharkwerks 350r kit..... and I have the mighty Jag F type SVR. The SVR is of course much faster. I find myself grabbing the keys to the Boxster much more often then the Jag. I just enjoy the Boxster much more. It has just the right amount of power for the winding roads. The Jag is noisy as hell. The exhaust is very loud. I own many exotics and hypercars. I am amazed at how much attention my jag gets! I even ran into a pic of my jag on someone's FB page with me driving it on the highway! WTF. Anyhow, it's not always about power and speed. In this comparison, I would never trade my Boxster. Oh, and as far as exhaust sound goes, I even prefer the sound of my Boxster. Being the Rs 60 it came with a PSE exhaust from the factory. It sounds like a liter bike in the right RPM range.

Aesthetically, the jag looks brilliant. Dynamically the Porsche wins. Yes, you’re absolutely right 👍

[@odinikita4821]

Ive got both. A 981 boxster s and a f type v6s...both are great but here is the difference. The boxster is a sports car that can do GT, THE F Type v6s is a GT that can do sports car.

[@911rec]

I owned both a 14 V8 F-type and a 15 Boxster GTS for about a year. Which one did I like best? Whichever one I was driving. They are both great cars, the GTS drives better, but the Jag is just really fun to drive. If you care about gas mileage the big V8 got slightly better gas mileage on the highway than my boxster. That 8th gear really helped for that. I bought both of mine used so they were a great value for the money. It would be hard for me to buy these new and pay that sticker price. If you cant decide, and you have the funds, get them both. :)

[@user-ns3vs3bp3e]

I’d pick the jag all day don’t get me wrong but the smart choice is 100% the Porsche. Jags plummet in value the moment they’re driven and are known to have more issues, not that I’m complaining hugely since that value drop let’s somebody like me in their 20’s own F types by just picking one up 2nd hand for like a third of the price or less and like 20k miles on it.

Yes, oil and water is everything Porsche will let you touch... if you didn't look at this car for more than 5 minutes.

Then, wonder oh wonder, you can check your brake fluid, battery, screen wash, air filter, etc...

HodsBroo the base f type costs less than the boxster, and it is slower. Don't forget Porsches do not come with any options, PDK, PASM, parking sensors, and practically everything comes optioned. ( and options for the Boxster costs the same as 911's!) However, to compete against the 911 turbo, you need the F type R. Ps. I have a 2009 Boxster S and a 2013 F type coupe 3.0L

give me the jag all day mate, its far better looking than the boxster, better interior by far, front engine beats that rediculous mid engine nonsense all day imo, boxster ok 400 kilos lighter but jag will actually protect you far better in a crash, boxster has fuel tank at front which means in a front impact crash it splits spills fuel everywhere & then catches fire, paul walker would of survived his crash if he had been in a jag & not a porsche, porsche sports cars are not safe in a crash so i will take the extra weight as it comes with extra safety even if it cost 10-15k more. porsche put performance before safety, safety should always come first no exceptions.

[@silentstormstudios]

Best option is a last generation 981 Boxster/Cayman S. Then you get the exhaust note along with the German precision. The 718 loses some of the experience from a sound perspective with the turbo four compare to the last generation's naturally aspirated flat six. Unless, of course, you're opting for the 718 GT4 or Spyder, in which case you still get the flat six and that great sound.

[@simonandersen7942]
