5 Years After I SOLD Mine... What's CHANGED On The F-TYPE R?

[@4SmokingTailpipes]

I miss how incredibly capable mine was. It was such a massively memorable time of my life having that. I think the same for yours so I can see how exciting this must be.

[@seenthroughglass]

They are cars full of character that seem to make every drive special

[@4SmokingTailpipes]

@@seenthroughglass To be honest. I think that way about most of the cars you purchase. You clearly buy with your heart, not ‘just because’! It’s endearing to watch, I said this to Tony at the weekend actually.

[@kevind1447]

That's why I've hung on to mine Rob just nothing else around that ticks all the boxes for the price ;)

[@4SmokingTailpipes]

@@kevind1447 Yes, I tend to agree. It’s just I have shined ball syndrome!

[@GTIracerr]

Good move, Jaguar UK. Lending this car to one of Britain's finest KZbin influencers. Production quality is second to none, as always. Only 10 minutes in, time to crack on. Excellent lunch break entertainment! Best of luck, Sam!

[@seenthroughglass]

Thanks so much mate!

[@faisalleeds]

They are hoping Sam will buy it! Just stick 10K miles on it and barter them down!

@@seenthroughglass I remember watching back when I was doing GCSEs and dreaming of my own f type and mclaren ... I’m now nearly graduated from uni ... sadly an f type or mclaren is still very much a dream

[@chrissorrows5563]

Greetings from the States, and great video! I used to own a 2015 F-Type R, and it was the most fun car I'd ever owned. Loved the sound and fury, and since mine was rear-wheel drive, I could definitely get sideways with all that power, even with the nanny systems turned on. Tons of fun. I'd owned a couple 911s before it (traded a 2006 911 in on it in fact), and I remember somebody posting on a forum once comparing the two, and paraphrasing, it went something like this: "The 911 is like a scalpel, very precise. The F-Type is like a sledgehammer. And sometimes you just want to break s**t with a sledgehammer." That summed up my feelings about the F-Type perfectly. And that styling - one of the most beautiful cars ever made I think. Although, I admit I still like the older headlight style better. To me, the newer headlight style looks a little too generic. But styling is very subjective, so that's just me. Kind of disappointed they did away with a lot of the crackles and pops from the exhaust, but that's to be expected with all the environmental regulations going up around the world. Was fun while it lasted. But so glad to hear with things being taken away, they've made so many improvements in other areas. I'd definitely get another F-Type down the road. Enjoy your F-Type and keep posting - great car and video!

[@georgemill8319]

was feeling crap before this vid, now I feel incredible thanks sam

[@seenthroughglass]

Amazing to hear! Stay strong

[@bhargavshatrughna489]

Cannot believe that was 5 years ago! Ah, how much I loved those times!! And that green in the sun, so beautiful.

[@jamesrose6730]

Would love a video explaining how the logistics of this arrangement works with Jag. E.g. who pays for fuel, insurance, registration? Do you have targets to hit in the way of views and hits?

[@harrisonwoods9747]

Been here from 1,500 subs, the Audi TT days. Now your boi drives a GT3 RS love this channel

[@keyser456]

I pulled the trigger on a low-mile 2016 AWD R Coupe a couple months ago. You just point it and it goes ... really fast and really loud! Going through tunnels or under overpasses is comical when you drop down a couple gears and get on it. It's like hell let loose, no joke. The infotainment is definitely a bit out of date now, but I find myself entertained just driving it. It's a not-quite-rich man's supercar. In America, it's just rare and quasi-exotic enough to turn heads. If the looks don't, that exhaust note will. I freaking love it!

[@Coffeedrinkerer]

Your coffee blend is going down well with friends and family, just finished my second bag and will be reordering some more!

[@warrensummerfield1]

You are a different Man with a Jag on the channel! Lovely car...

There is something about the F-Type that just makes STG’s videos that much better 👌

Genuine passion and enthusiasm?

This is amazing Sam, great to see a F-TYPE back on the channel!

[@matthiassalzburger3926]

As usual your production value is stunning. Congrats.

[@HackebeilHarry1]

For me, you always did and still do the best videos from all the car youtubers. Cuts, music, scenery - just amazing, so relaxing to watch and always looks so professional. Hope your channel keeps growing :)

[@romualdrenault4782]

How is it possible your suscriber amount doesn’t increase massively ??????? Your uploads are By far the most anticipated one on YT for me, keep up this excellent work !

[@Megalith79]

7:42 Great example as to why I love the British lol. But yeah, always a great channel. Expressing an equally as great topless (the way I prefer them 😉) sports car. I truly miss the true savagery that was the F-Type SVR, which to this day remains in my top 3 cars of all time. It’s engine note and it’s noises were as close to ear-orgasms as one could get. This cars styling to me looks slightly too generic. Like it’s trying to copy a Maserati. It’s still beautiful just, not quiet as “unique” as it’s predecessor. Anyway, great content my dude. Keep it up! Cheers from across the pond!

[@drivingontheedge9391]

Looking forward to hearing your long term thoughts on this and ultimately which one you end up buying! Having had my ‘old’ rwd R for 4 and half years now, I still struggle to think of bang for buck alternatives that can put as much of a smile on my face.

[@carloscanizares101]

Long-time watcher, first-time poster. You're my favourite channel, Sam. Not just cars, but on KZbin. Throttle House comes a close second only because they're Canadian with a twist of English (James). The things that bug you about the car remind me of what I might miss from my [Stage 2] 2016 Golf R when/if I decide to buy a 2021 MX-5 RF. Then Top Gear comes to mind and, really, "how bad could it be?"

[@tomnutting3836]

Came on to say the spec gets better by the minute!!! And man do I miss the Peak District, living in Australia, the Peak is one thing luring me home ❤️ Great video thanks Sam 😎

[@DanielSadjadian]

You can fix that exhaust valve issue by removing a fuse I believe, like the older XK models. Should help get back some of the sound in the low to mid part of the rev range.

[@firstnamesecondname5341]

When the headlight bulbs of the first international mimicked the eyes 👀 of a Jaguar 🐆 stalking for a takedown was stunning 🤩 The led headlights on the previous model kind of lost that emphasis 😞

[@TheCabrooster11]

Coincidentally as you’ve headed north in the Jaggg, I’ve been heading south in my mk9 Fiesta ST on a road trip through the Scottish boarders, Lake District, Forest of Borland ,Northern Wales and Shropshire with just a little more of Wales and the Cotswolds to finish. Hope the rest of your trip is as great as mine 😉

[@prolapsed5104]

I feel like I'm living my life vicariously through Sam, I would have the same reactions to him whilst driving the f type, it's my dream car and I will have it one day but had to be the old shape, louder and more aesthetic.

[@florian2805]

Once again, great contents. Pictures, musics,... everything makes the video very nice to watch. Even though don't care about new FType. Good work !

[@simplyfit4453]

Peak & Lake district in an F-type R... Not jealous whatsoever! 😩

[@fast.teacher]

I think we've all got a car that's left a mark on us. For you Sam, it's obviously the F-Type and no matter how many Porsches and Ferraris you get, only an F-Type will fill that hole. Great car and video as always!

[@gavinsullivan9015]

I do like them but over here in Oz they’re flipping expensive (as all sports cars are) which makes it harder to justify the stuff that’s missing. But I’m now at the stage where it’s a second car that can be fun only so I might just have to drive one!

[@ianxfs]

We had a track day with Jaguar in the 450 & 575. The loss of noise came as a shock. Our V6S had more entertainment in the exhaust department on the way back home. Perhaps and end of range R rather than a new model next time around?

[@camillebradbury1741]

Great video Sam. Car looks and sounds incredible. I suppose the big question has to be does it look as good as the original F Type and I have to say my vote says no. It doesn't sound as good, although its still got something of its own, but surely the older car has to be a better option. I know that newer models do have a way of just somehow feeling like they tick more boxes so Im intrigued about what your review will be. Lake district was looking gorgeous! More Jaguar videos soon please.

[@thomasfriedlin5912]

[@resnonverba137]

A beautiful car and nice to see such a positive review. As a lifelong fan of the 911, I would chose the F-Type convertible over the 911 convertible. I fail to see why any car enthusiast would ever require any form of cruise control. Eyes, brakes and an accelerator are quite enough.

[@nikikonov]

Bro...I just got back home from the seaside...I drive an mx5 which has a cruise control, but it ain't adaptive...so after 4 hrs of highway my legg hurts.... its a GT car, ofc it should have an adaptive cruise, especially for that kind of money :Xx also adds to the resale value and stuff....I guess the guy can't talk too much shit so they keep giving him cars, but everybody knows the old F-type is a steal right now...the new one adds nothing to compensate the money you'd have to give :# You can't argue with that one.

[@Stokey180]

Surprised Jaguar engineers overlooked the screen glare given it is a convertible. All they needed to do was put anti-glare films on the TFT display, really cheap and effective solution.

[@RICHARD10195]

Nice to see you enjoying my local roads, you do have to pick your days and times to hit them when they’re quiet though in the car not so much of an issue when I’m on the motorbike. Plus you’re stopping in the hotel I got married in back in 2018, it’s a small world 😂

[@sarastroaster2457]

Hi Sam, great work! I am considering buying an f type coupe since I’d like some more sportiness (I am now having a db11 v12). Which one would you prefer: the old R RWD, the old R AWD, the current P450, P575 or perhaps the old V6S? All in coupe form. And by the way I know it’s very different from the DB11 and other cars I owned (a California, a Rapide, a FF, a 5.0 Mustang, a Giulia QV, an XKR 4.2, a Mas Granturismo S, among the others), but how would you compare them in terms of driving sensations? It’s a “worst” car being less expensive or forget about that? Thank you very much!!!

[@MRblondeGames]

Great video, love seeing the F-type back on your channel! I would love to maybe see a comparison between this and a BMW 6 series, or maybe just a 650i appearance on your channel! I feel as though it has a similar type of GT vibe as the f type

[@BobKenge]

Hi! Have you ever thought about driving a roadcar with roof but without an A-pillar blocking your view in corners? I still haven't seen a video discussing this topic and many cars today although very rigid, structurally, have really thick A-Pillars that block your view to the point of posing a risk to the driver or a person. I think it would be really cool to discuss the topic, taking examples like the Chevrolet Corvair Tetsudo Concept, the Renault Trezor Concept. I would love to see your take on that topic. 👍✌️
