2018 Jaguar F-TYPE 400 Sport | Limited Edition | Steve Hammes | TestDriveNow

[@jdnm797]

Jaguar can't put a foot wrong lately. Their entire line up is more exciting than any of the equivalent German boxes.

[@adrianharvey3511]

Jaguar is into something here... I like where there goin with that coupe ..... that sound that v6 makes is insane

[@PremierSmilesDentist]

I have the silver 2018 F type R with 550 hp.. most sporty car I have owned .. gets a ton of looks from mostly guys tho lol.. the exhaust sound is amazing and it’s a thrill to drive and definitely an everyday car

[@GuruPrashanth7970]

4 years later, what's up now? Does the car still get looks?

[@elliottmanning4116]

I know at some point Jaguar will redesign this and I'm a bit nervous about it because the exterior design is timeless. Hopefully Jag will redesign it the way Porsche does it 911.

[@carlosandleon]

thered a lot you can do with the front though. more slender headlights, narrower grill for example. or they can do some perorations as well like their new super sedan

[@JTM610]

Lmao

[@aliaborez3987]

Your fears came true my friend...

[@KUROSHURA]

Don’t worry mate They fucked it up

[@bassandtrebleclef]

What a tasty car. Beautifully designed and that sound.... mmmm.

[@imthelovestamp]

I feel like I'm watching the nightly national news

[@1stMilcom]

best looking coupe in the world!

[@khunopie9159]

You know Steve, I've always said you are the Jaguar F-Type 400 Sport of auto journalists which turned out to be fairly prophetic As contrasted with that Doug guy who is the War and Peace of car reviewers, if you follow my analogy

[@scottvilleneuve5985]

This is the best FType variant I think.

[@vika0194]

Scott Villeneuve anything from the V6 and above is good. The 2.0 versions are embarrassing.

[@vika0194]

renewer yes the 2.0 version is embarrassing. No sound and slow acceleration.

[@vika0194]

renewer nobody who drove it ever said that. I have driven the V6 and V8

[@____GoMeZ____]

I want to buy one at 39,000 with 62,000 miles on it. is that a good deal? The car looks amazing

[@britishbulldog5585]

Great car Steve !!! 😆 I've got the V6S in silver with all the trimmings, looks just like your car, beautiful motor that never fails to turn heads ☺

[@blackporscheroadster6415]

Actually, I've seen plenty of these on the road and I think they are very non-descript and lack cache on the road.

[@jeffreyb.1657]

@@blackporscheroadster6415 Oddly, black porsche roadsters seem a dime a doze these days, and have bore scoring and in many cases now....the F type still turns heads as much as ever. Have had both a Porsche 911 turbo and this F type...the F type is the better looking car by far.

[@afa6361]

Reliability of this car is equally outstanding. It lasts two full long years without breaking down.

[@135iN55]

The F-Type is bullet proof. I have two with no issues and I drive them harder than anyone should. My RWD V8 is utterly invincible at the drag strip.

[@jsiszero]

Hey Steve, great review as always. Ever thought of doing your reviews in 60fps?

[@stevehammes]

Still messing with various settings on the new gear. So perhaps.

[@vince2433]

So we just gonna bite off the Q50 Red Sport 400..

[@IglooDweller]

I like the back, but not the front.

[@oganesayvazyan7648]

the original front vents looked better should not have changed anything

[@vika0194]

disagree.

[@beetleything1864]

Agree

[@vika0194]

Great car? Yes Overpriced? Yes.

[@135iN55]

Racechip has great info on their website. The problem with the V6 is it is roughly the same weight as the V8 as it uses the same size block, and V6's underperformed their HP and Torque claims, while V8's over-delivered by 45 HP.

[@suppaman19]

That's a complete lie. The V6 engines are lighter weight period.

[@135iN55]

@@suppaman19 They use an identical size block, which is a horrendous waste of weight. Obviously, they are negligibly lighter. Its a putrid design compared to to V8.

[@mojojojo911]

Yes Steve yes!!!!

[@etandekeijser2818]

Der is muziek tot in de gevangenis!

[@stevehammes]

He is music dead in the gevangenis! ?

[@aster5031]

5/5

[@lionyleftwich4418]

The BMW and AMG killer right here!!!!!!

[@meddler766]

Liony Leftwich no

[@lezzgo726]

Anyone else notice the 400 sport looks like my 4 year old stuck it on ?

[@blackporscheroadster6415]

Looks like a pieces of lego glued on.

[@AlfaEricWashDC]

Is it me or does anyone else think this should be compared to the Alfa Romeo 8C. Omitting price and age. The look very much alike.

[@blackporscheroadster6415]

JagWAR? Never heard of that car brand? Is it American?

[@stevehammes]

25 years of reviewing Jags and it never ceases to amaze me that I get stupid comments like this…as if people are so ignorant to the fact that Americans don’t speak with a British accent 🤦🏼‍♂️.

[@blackporscheroadster6415]

@@stevehammes Nothing to do with accent dipshit, it is to do with pronunciation. The word J-A-G-U-A-R does not have the letter 'W' in it. No excuse for appalling pronunciation, regardless of what 'accent' it is spoken in.

[@maestroadam]

Definitely not a fan of that raspy exhaust. Just my opinion, but a car like this deserves a more distinguished sound.

[@Dejan_23Unlimited]

What I Beaty ... can't watch anymore, let me drive my V6S :)

[@blackporscheroadster6415]

That front end looks very dated. It looks like a 1990s Aston Martin, or even a Jaguar from that time.

[@texlad04]

Not big bucks compared to an SL.

[@mikemorales1725]

Just based on reliability, I prefer the LC 500

[@powerofpinesol8002]

Mike Morales not really the same class

[@esteban75lover23]

not in the same class idiot

[@esteban75lover23]

Mike Morales wow! I wonder nkw many “luxury sport cars” are on the market......so vague. Try again.

[@seabass9916]

The LC500 really doesn't compete with the likes of the F type. They are both coupes, no ones arguing there. However, that doesn't always mean sports car. Watch Motor Trend's review the LC500.

[@sohodon]

Lc500 is luxury tourer not a real sports car. a Porsche carerra would a closer comparison

[@user-zr1hs6ij3q]

6 valvulas mucho mejor

[@zzmd8498]

Izgleda vrlo malo bolje od porse I audija.al moze bolje

[@MudAlvi]

Nice car but would not pay 90K for this

[@texlad04]

Mud Alvi why not? What would you buy for similR money and why? And have you driven an F Type?

[@BongWeasle]

Edward Willey III I have an ftype and agree with Mud they are not worth it. Cheap interior poorly built. Cayman is the car to go for either S or GTS.

[@jackemerson1171]

I have this car in black and love it

[@FooFahFoeFum]

You seam to be tight, sitting there with your right knee touching the lower dashboard. This car is for people 6'-3" and shorter. Not too many NBA players will be purchasing this. When will car manufacturers realize that women today are taller than men were in 1950. Cars today have less leg room that my grandfather's chevies of the 1950's. Why?

[@BongWeasle]

Poor build quality, cheap components like the door mirror controls from Peugeot,overpriced, too heavy and average performance. Buy a Cayman S/GTS.

[@meddler766]

Hooded Claw cayman just looks dull compared to the ftype and the 4cylinder is sound is just shit next to that.

[@UALHVY]

Poor build quality? You've obviously never owned one. BTW... I have a Porsche also.
