2022 Jaguar F-Type P450 | Monkey Business

We review the 2022 P450 V8 RWD Jaguar F-Type Convertible. For around $75,000, this may be the most refined and entertaining luxury muscle car. The updates have softened the edges and are at least 30k less than the Lexus LC500. We discuss the good, bad, and technical updates. V8 and RWD fans around the world should celebrate this monkey machine.

[@csdstudio78]

Yeah this vid was bonkers. Loved all the noise.

[@cooperroberts1453]

Personally I think it’s a more sophisticated drop top version of the 392 scat pack, nicer interior then a dodge and maybe slightly better ride and handling, but ZF gear box, 450 hp, rwd, it’s basically a prettier convertible challenger for twice the price.

[@kanob6440]

This car will always put a smile on your face. I'm the owner of a 2014 v8s. I have it tuned with a double pulley swap, race exhaust, and cats/downpipes pipes. It screams like crazy. I know people give Jags shit for reliability, but the only issues I've really had was coolant hoses and a water pump. And I drive my car harder than anyone, now with 93k miles😂😂

At first I said "Wow, it has a bad sound system? How pathetic." Then the driving portion played and I realized this car doesn't need a radio at all, frankly.

[@killerhurtalot]

Sorry, as a owner of a 2015 F type R Coupe, when a car costs this much, this shouldn't be a issue when the other competitors doesn't have this... There's a reason why these cars have terrible depreciation since it's not worth anywhere close to the MSRP.

[@Defy_Convention]

Sounds nice but on the street the radio is heard far more often than full throttle.

@@mtnman1984 Unless you modify that civic engine and cut out the muffler, it just doesn't make much noise compared to a 5L V8... there's a lot less need for sound deadening. The sound system itself is alright, it's nothing great to write home about, just that the outside noise and etc kills it. The subwoofer absolutely sucks though.

[@derpdiggler1117]

Love this video! I bought a used 2014 V8 S based on your last F-Type review and have zero regrets. The interior impresses everyone who first sees it, even though it makes me go “meh”, but it’s something I never think about the moment I start driving. The party trick for me is showing how chill the car can get in normal driving mode, because 99% of the time I can’t resist having the exhaust valves open in sport/dynamic mode. The sound, throttle response, and fun handling are incredibly addictive. You can tune any of these AJ V8 engines (on the F-Type and other JLR vehicles) to around 610hp with a simple $1000-dollar etune, and around 650 with pulley/belt swaps. It also sounds like an E85 tune is out for the V6 models, netting similar power figures as this car (and they came in a manual!), with development of a V8 tune underway. The LC is still on my list, as I’d feel more peace of mind putting a lot of miles on that, and the interior looks like a much better place to be when just putting around or on longer trips. My Jag is more a weekend/fun car to me, as it feels wrong driving it civilized unless you absolutely have to. I think this refreshed F-Types with the improved interior, suspension, and tamer (still nutty) sound may be a good bridge between the two, if you could only have one car.

[@jackholmes8105]

How has the f type been reliability wise? As a fun stupid gt car i keep debating on doing one.

[@derpdiggler1117]

I’ve had zero problems, aside from a couple lights on interior buttons near the gear shifter that flickered then went out as soon as I bought the car (they are symmetrical and likely at the end of the wiring chain, so don’t really care, but keeping my eye on that potentially-questionable electrical work). According to the forums, you want to make sure the battery stays relatively charged to avoid any electrical weirdness, so I just make sure to drive it regularly or keep it on a trickle charger. I bought mine with a super low mileage, with it sitting near 13k, so it may be a completely different experience later on, knock on wood. I forgot to mention there are several intake mods discussed on the Jaguar forums as well. You can get it sounding much louder if you’re into that. I’d love to be able to control it in a similar fashion to the exhaust. I get the vibe your itch for the car isn’t going to go away. I’d say go for it! You can always sell or report it stolen :)

[@ItsTheNada]

@@jackholmes8105 I bought a 2015 F Type R a little over a year ago and have zero regrets. It took me a while to notice the interior flaws (and yes they are real) but driving, looking at and hearing the car have made me not care about them. Purchased at 26,000 mi, it now has about 35,000 mi and the only thing that’s gone bad is an O2 sensor. I do my long cross town and spirited drives in it. I typically use something else for the grocery runs or other more mundane duties.

[@Bursar60]

@@jackholmes8105 spend time on their Facebook groups to learn about the many issues. Their folks still defend them, but I also bought a 16 Ftype R based off your older video. Bought at 14k miles, sold at about 38k mile. Rear diff was already getting sketchy sounding way ahead of the 50k mile service interval, picked up noise in the front that is usually your supercharger coupler about to go, pre like2018 there's a plastic y pipe radiator line that likes to burst as a matter of time not if, which is a good way to cook the engine fast. As you've said bad infotainment bad speakers. My car has numerous plastic rattle and squeaks. Plug your own obd2 in and the battery will discharge after you remove it over a night of you don't reconnect battery. Automatic stop start re-enables automatically. Also the gauge is very picky about letting you check oil level. Edit also missed the other reply, the older v8s before exhaust sound nerfed constantly eat o2 sensors and if popcorn a lot eat the cat too.

[@ItsTheNada]

@@Bursar60 I think the rear diff service interval is wrong. The fluid should be changed probably twice as often as Jag says. Also, it’s gotta stay garaged. The inlets in the hood are prone to letting water in the intake and that kills the supercharger over time. I haven’t experienced the obd2 reader issue. Mine works fine. It’s how I diagnosed my check engine (O2 sensor). Oil change is a PITA because of no dipstick for sure but a lot of cars are going that way. I’m gonna check out that y pipe for sure.

Manual boxes can’t handle the engine. The ZF8 is a full manual, though.

[@SoulRebel02]

@@FFE-js2zp lol the ZF8 is NOT a full manual. tf you smoking?

[@FFE-js2zp]

@@SoulRebel02 I’m smoking all manner of “super cars” with it. The ZF8 is a full manual, buts it’s only implemented as such on an F-Type AFAIK. When I say full manual, I mean it is manually shifted and does nothing automatically. That’s not ENTIRELY true because it won’t let you lug it. But when you have 8th geared for 350 mph and 700HP, that’s a death sentence. So I’m ok with calling that manual shifting. Lots of manuals have gear lockouts under certain conditions. Again, the ZF8 transmission never shifts on its own when you are in Manual. It’s also a CVT if you lay a tune on it. I tried the CVT tune but it was too weird for me to have a full transmission within each gear. I couldn’t get my brain around new tricks. It does however increase fuel efficiency (a V8 F-Type already gets 31 mpg stock) and shaves 0.4 secs off the quarter since RPM never moves from max torque. It uses clamping power to allow any RPM in all gears at any speed. So in S mode with the CVT, the RPM jumps to max torque and never budges even as it increments through the gears. In M mode with the CVT tune you control the gear manually with the paddles and you set whatever RPM you want with the throttle. You’ll actually coast at idle, in gear, if you lighten up on the throttle in any gear. It’s the most incredible tranny ever in a production car. It also gives you 5-7% more WHP then an conventional manual and way more still compared to a conventional auto. And with a fairly harsh tune (Rolls Royce wouldn’t tune their ZF8s this way) it shifts as fast as a DCT but with roughly 200 lbs less weight. More weight is saved, and more WHP is gained, comparing to another AWD, in ZF8’s driving all 4 wheels.

[@MarkFritscher]

I laughed this entire episode. Great job guys!

[@jesserhodes7430]

i once saw a jaguar catch fire in a sams club parking lot. no one else was around or driving it. i called the fire department and told the store manager who announced it over the speaker system. the fire department got there and with out saying a word got out an ax and started breaking the windows and prying up the hood. the owner came out screaming that "the doors were unlocked, the doors are unlocked!" as they filled his car with water. they finished, got in the fire truck and left, 15 min and not a word was said to anyone. owner just stood there stunned.

I loved the way you all did this this review. It was as lot of fun, and I was smiling and laughing with you all through the whole video. Regarding the F-Type. I think its rebellious nature is what is drawing new blood. I’m between selling my current sports car and looking at things like the C8 in it’s three iterations, Porsche 911/Boxster Spyder. However, I recently learned more about the V8 F-type’s and it may be what I’m looking for. It’s not a daily (3rd car). I want a smallish, raw, loud, sports car to screw around in and run short distance errands, but also don’t worry about parking at the grocery or hardware store (hence selling my F430). I’m not trying to set lap records; just have fun with something a little more unique than a run of the mill sports cars, but not so over the top that it attracts constant attention. Will be visiting my Jaguar dealer after seeing this and your last F-type video.
