The first generation was prettier than the second generation F-Type but it's still a very nice looking car with a really fun character.

My 2018 FTR was an absolute nightmare from day one. They delivered it and as soon as I started it, the check engine light came on. I thought it may have been the gas cap but JAG diagnosed as a malfunction with the wiring and the entire wiring harness for the car had to be replaced. Mind you, the car had 19miles on it when I took delivery. The dealership ended up buying the car back. It was so sad because it’s’ a SICK car!

Interesting. Having just bought a tin-top GTS 4.0, and driven the OG F-type, I can understand. They're two different cars. The Jag is a more soothing road trip car, plus it has a wild streak kind of like what a Ford Mustang wishes it could grow up to be. OTOH, the Porsche feels like a tank from a build quality POV, and its handling precision is on a different level. Since my use case includes autocross and track days, it was P-car all the way for me.

Otherwise, she's a solid car. If you're not going to drive her in more than a week to 10 days, I highly recommend getting a CTEK trickle charger with the battery clamps and put them on to keep the battery topped-up ( especially all winter when you store her).

I have a 2024 fpace SVR with the same engine. To get the pops and bangs on the overflow, you have to feather the throttle right at or slightly above 3k rpm. (Between 3k-3200) it’s still very loud and very obnoxious. It’s a burble and some sharp pops. Very fun. Also, not sure if you guys were driving in S mode or regular D mode (not the same as in dynamic vs comfort) You have to pull back on the shifter to get into S mode and it makes the throttle response sharper etc and the 3k rpm overflow pops and bang happen very easy with it on. Great car. Love it. It’s super fast. My SUV is almost 5k lbs and I hit 60 in 3.8 seconds. Your convertible is like a thousand pounds lighter. It has to be fast af.

@dlj12853 ай бұрын
That is not true at all. There are lots of little changes, and some larger. The new R certainly handles better due to receiving the SVR suspension setup, and has more power. Upgraded plastic piping less failure prone, no rusting of cross members underneath, no sticky buttons to deal with, improved materials inside generally, better tech, no issues with water Ingress through hood vents like earlier cars leading to injector problems, etc etc…Even the exhaust by some is viewed as a better setup…A little more grownup with less burble tune, but still loud enough as can be seen in this video. Won’t have the failed cats to go along with the previous nonsense either. There’s more improvements then that. It’s normal for a car to naturally refine throughout its run. This is the best F-type ever objectively. Especially if you prefer the more up-to-date design too, which I personally do, but that’s subjective.

While driving my 2021 F-type R, it occurred to me that if the F-type were a dog, it would be an English bull Terrier. Powerful, engaging, and just plain fun,you would be hard pressed to think of a vehicle that has aged better. The F-type always makes the driver feel special without shouting look at me.

The two cars I have that get the most attention are my 2016 R cab and my 1986 gold convertible C4 Corvette. The R is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

The 2015 R was the only car that made me smile more than a 911. The exhaust, the supercharger whine, so visceral and fun. Amazing interior, for a Mazda…. My 911 has gone up in value. Nuff said.

About roundabouts in Canada- when I learned to drive there were no roundabouts anywhere. Then, when I was about 30, every new road construction seemed to include a roundabout. The average driver can barely understand how to operate at a standard yield sign. Throw in roundabouts on 4 lane city streets without warning... it's a miracle more people aren't just smashing through blindly.

Nice review and fair. I've just got back from a little country drive in my 2014 V8S. I've had it one year and was thinking maybe a Boxster 4.0 is the next move but it's a lot more money and the Jag has character in abundance which I'm not sure the Boxster does (which I say as someone who loved his 987 Boxster S). I think the difference is in the Jag you enjoy the engine and the shove while in the Boxster it's more about handling and the chassis. Even though the Boxster has a great engine and the Jag handles pretty well.

Saving every penny I can to try to buy one of these before they're gone for good For me personally, the AWD, high-power 2-seater is literally the perfect vehicle, and this is basically the only one left on the market Gonna be a pretty big push to get out from under the loan on my Type S, but I swear on JLR's grave I'm gonna make it happen

@@Petrol_and_CabernetYou found an example of a car with better depreciation than a Vantage that also happens to be a car KNOWN for its lack of depreciation. The Panamera on the other hand loses half its value over 5 years and the less said about the Taycan the better.
