One of the main reasons I went for the F-Type S coupe was because it sounds so much better inside the cabin. Very classical, racy noise that just vibrates your eardrums. The F-Type R is insane outside, but inside you feel like your missing some of the action, quite similar to the maserati Quattroporte GTS for example. Other than that, the main reason I went with the S coupe is because iris lighter, and I won't lose my license quite as quickly.

+Kaisuke971 From the position he is holding the wheel though I'd say the seat is quite high, so it may be obvious but if he prefers an upright driving position then he's probably not tried lowering the seat. Me, I always have it on the stops as low as it goes with the wheel slightly higher than mid point, and quite close as well. Check out Chris Harris videos, I sit a lot like him, it looks a bit odd but I do about 40k miles a year and I've never been more comfortable.

Don't drill your car to make it more sporty on the inside just get a 'Soundracer' they plug into your cigarette lighter and mimic the sounds of other cars, you could get a V8 one (others are available) you could go for a V12 Ferrari one for instance, great fun, and won't damage your car. Paste and copy 'Soundracer V12 Ferrari Car Gadget' into Amazon, you'll see. Its akin to using a squashed up can in the front wheel of your bike as a kid....

You touched on something rather interesting when you said drill holes in your car to make it louder... Well, you clearly can't do that for obvious reasons, but what you CAN do and it's reversible is remove some of the sound deadening material in the rear of the car. It's adhesive backed, probably 3M material, I'd imagine a hair dryer would be all that's necessary. I'd start at the very rear, closest to the exhaust, then either move to the sides of the fenders, or the bottom of the 'trunk' well below the spare tire. Bonus is you can always put it back on, and if you like it, just leave it out and with the trim in place, nobody would ever know about it. Now this is also predicated on exactly how much you really want to have a louder interior. Too much removal and you start picking up that annoying hiss from the tires like every economy junker has. If it's worth the effort, it's probably only an afternoon's worth of work to do this. Just a thought.

5 things I hate about my F Type 1) The digital speedometer- is partially hidden by the steering wheel 2) You have no real idea where the front corners are 3) It picks up stones which get caught in the seals- and end up scratching the windows 4) It drinks petrol, especially as you'll keep putting it into dynamic and sport 5) Everyday someone - no matter what they are driving will want to race you. But none of that matters on a clear quiet road. I can see why you take the car abroad.

Q. HOW TALL ARE YOU ? You do live in Blighty with its tight streets, narrow roads & stuff, so I can see visibility being a bit of a serious issue. But I live in the US & have driven a C5 Corvette for a few years & people in normal cars just don't get it - there's so little visibility. I dropped my seat to the floor, slid it back until it squeaked against the fire wall and transmission tunnel, then got it comfy, recorded the memory position - and I did find space. But I am certainly some inches shorter. So I really need to test drive an F-type & really find out if it's just you. Q. What is it like in the Jag, at night - do you get all the bigger vehicles shining headlights straight into the cabin ? That's very bad in the 'vette. Or I'm just not a night driver.

I have some similar complaints. I own a 2007 Ford Escape in America. Nowhere near the comfort and high performance you have in the jag, but I'm 6'6 and I fit very comfortably inside, with 4x4 and a compact wheelbase that makes parking beyond easy. I do have Visibility problems though. One being my Rearview Mirror blocking everything on the passenger side, handles on both A-Pillars, and a smallish windshield that prevents me from seeing some traffic lights. I have to do the Kangaroo dance alot too. The Engine is also dampened in the inside. Other than that it's been an extremely reliable and dependable vehicle.

About the exhaust note inside the car. You touched on it yourself, it's sort of a GT car. No one wants their ears to bleed when going somewhere in it for several hours, it's not all that pleasant. I get that for quicker trips around town and whatnot, that LOVELY rumble from the exhaust is the best thing ever. It's just not a good quality in a car that is suited for being a daily driver/long distance cruiser as well. Also, what is the difference like with the active exhaust on/off?

Hello. I absolutely adore the F-Type and own a 2009 facelift Jag XK myself and I love it. Much of your criticism is highly understandable and the same for the XK! - The rear-view mirror! It's the same in the XK! The mirror is gigantic and obstructs view! What about the outside mirrors by the way?? I have problems seeing in tight corners. Same in the F-Type? - I had a good laugh about you looking outside of the sunroof for traffic lights :D In the XK it's the exact same problem. Not a London problem. I'm from Germany, so... - Same for the seat settings. I don't think you need 'em but it's not that big of a problem for me. - Sound in the F-Type I think couldn't be better or louder on the inside because otherwise it would be a nuisance to drive long distance in it because of droning sound on the inside at certain revs!

Regarding traffic light visibility, I am having the same problem. I'm 6'6". But there is a solution! You're using the horizontal lines on the road all wrong. It took me a while to understand the meaning of these lines, and no one in driving school explains the proper use of the lines. These lines should be used as a reference points. When you approach an intersection with a traffic light you should stop when the line disappears in front of your bonnet, like at 2:31 and make a full stop. That way you have full visibility of the intersection and traffic lights in front of you. And no kangaroo bobbing... I've tried this in several cars and it works!

if you want the exhaust sound more prominent inside just pop off the door panels and remove the sound dampening inside. there is also (usually) fiber padding under the carpets as well that can be removed but that takes a bit more work. a more extreme measure is to remove the plastic underpanels under the engine but that can have effects on the air flow.

Only thing I agree with you on is the rear view mirror, in performance cars having perfect 360 view is essential! I had that issue my Nissan 370Z's where the side view mirror is massive that it blocks the side view so I had to keep lookin up the same way you do just to see if there is a car hiding behind that mirror! really frustrating! As for the sound, you might love the noise in the bgnng but blv me you'd later on be tired of it on long drives and this shows that you have perfect isolation as well! 3rdly the seat positions, you better have more options rather than less! and the ones you have there are all useful, you yourself were using it so you know that it does work to fit your body perfectly! that's all! enjoy it as much as you can!! lovely ride

In USA stop lights (semaphore) are after intersections so you don't need to maneuver your head to see light. Very clever and reasonable decision, regulation. Inside mirror like in most of car are not perfectly crafted. Some are better than others but overall the mirrors are there to help us see back as much as we can. Follow an Italian driving philosophy where is says we don't care what is behind us but in front of us.:)))

The exhaust manifolds are basically large cast iron pipes mounted to the exhaust ports. There is no tuning to the exhaust whatsoever. It's obnoxious. I'm looking for a solution to this because it's just too loud and coarse.I think the cars are under rated and under appreciated. For the money, It's a beast and it has been very trouble free. Type R AWD

Finding that optimal racing seat position is tough, account for heal toe, traffic comfort and visibility. Took me about 2 1/2 months after I got my 350z. haha

I would also add that manual upshifting isn't always responsive. I've redlined it a couple of times because it didn't respond properly when in manual mode using the gear shift.

Everyone hating on his car - every single person who modified their car does it to their style and specs. In my personal opinion the white spot is a little much, but I love the rest. See, that's my opinion, I'm not shoving it in his or anyone's face, in fact I really didn't need to throw it out there at all. Appreciate that everyone has their own style and deal with it.

So you don't like the fact that the sound dampening is too high quality? I'd much rather have high quality dampening and have the choice of noise by cracking the window, instead of having a car that just screams the whole time and doesn't shut up while you're driving, it would get old fast. I don't agree that "too many seat controls" is an issue. I agree with the rear view mirror issue it blocks the center of the windscreen for me too, but I feel like ducking isn't that much of annoyance. My biggest issue with our F-Type's that I'm surprised you didn't notice was the fact that the seats rub up against the back of the vehicle if you put the seats backwards, producing a squeaking noise while driving and especially when going through sharp corners with minimal G Force. I'll be honest I came in to this video expecting to hate it solely based on the title (and because I love my F-Type's) but you present well and the film is well shot and edited. I disagree with your choice of Livery though, if you're going to Project 7 your F-Type it's got to be in British Racing Green.

Sam, the not being able to see street lights thing is definitely a height issue. Im 6'3" and i drive a big-ass 2003 Dodge Durango, and i still cant see shit when i get to the front of a street light.

I think the traffic light problem might be present in most low-profile/long cars with tall drivers, I experience the same in my Audi 80 with the seat down on the lowest setting even. I think it's the stupid way European traffic lights are placed. In the US, the lights are on the opposite side of a junction, which makes them a lot more visible.

TL;DR 1. Rear view Mirror taking up whole left side of wind screen. 2. Wind screen not tall enough. 3. Too much control over seat position 4. Exhaust sound too quiet inside. 5. What its made him become; from a performance-over-comfort guy to the exact opposite.

I think you should make the white dot a little larger, put another white stripe up the bonnet, across the windshield and down to that thing you have sticking up in the back. Maybe slap on a few bumper stickers - just go with it, put them everywhere. None of this will make the car look worse than it does now.

I recently put in a nice gentex mirror in on of my sports cars. With the valentine one and the controls on the mirror I feel it blocks my view. So I went with a never frameless gentex mirror and problem solved. Sounds like that would be a good solution for you.

They should get rid of the rear view mirror on the windscreen completely and replace with a screen on top of the dash directly underneath that uses a rear camera. Law only requires one actual mirror fitted externally. Or maybe mod it.

Remove some of the sound insulation from your trunk to get more exhaust sound. I had the same complaint as you with my Cayman and I took out a bunch of the insulation (carpeting etc.) and now it sounds much better inside the cabin. Like you I wasn't looking to make it any louder outside the car.

About the sound, what about taking out some of the sound isolation that they put over the firewall in between the engine and the cabin? Instead of messing up with the chassis, take out some of the isolation haha
