Used to have a 2016 F-Type V8 R AWD Convertible (mouthful, I know). Had SO much grip, and felt phenomenally planted without feeling heavy. Was never really pushed 10/10ths, but certainly hard enough. Loads of confidence, and in 2016 the interior and tech was acceptable, though not that impressive now. Being a 2016, it crackled and popped like a maniac. I remember many a peaceful summer sunrise being interrupted by what sounded like an automatic rifle being let off in the village center… but no, it was the Jag. Miss it dearly.

[@ryanzillmer8511]

I had a 2016 manual. Didn't have the V8 power, but plenty for a daily driver. Sadly it got rear ended, and they are so rare that finding another was too much work.

The supercharged V6 manual was (and still kinda is) one of my daily driver dream cars. Is it really that good of a car or do I have it on a pedestal it doesn’t deserve?

My uncle's F-type spoiler went up and refused to come down. Jaguar Teleservice told him about the switch as if my uncle didn't know it existed. Jaguar service dept in Vancouver says it will be two weeks before they can look at it but if it's what they suspect, the part which malfunctioned will be 4-6 weeks out on backorder. But they still need to see the car before they can submit the warranty claim. So if you see a elderly Asian man parking his White F-Type with Red interior in Richmond and the spoilers up, he's not a douchebag (at least not to his nephew)

I've owned a 911 C4S and an F-Type R. Very different driving experiences. Yes, the 911 is, overall, a more comprehensive package and better driver's car. But (1) 911s are a dime-a-dozen where I live and (2) the F-Type is a monster all the time; it doesn't have an 'off' button for its unabashed childishness so it's a blast to drive no matter where you're going.

[@jody024]

Well..... Porsches are more reliable and yes, the better driving car. There is no reason to choose a Jag over a Porsche.

[@ThomasFerrugia]

@@jody024 : Disagree. It depends on your tastes. I have a Jaguar F-Type, a Jaguar XF and a Range River Velar (all JLR products) and they’ve proven to be very reliable l. The Porsche was well built, of course, but not entirely trouble free. If you’re looking for a smooth, polished experience then Porsche is the way to go (especially if it’s your daily driver). If you’re looking for something more exciting, brutish and (IMO) more fun then the Jaguar is the way to go. Plus, you only live once. Why buy the same car again and again?

My 2017 F-Type R was 550HP and AWD and was an AWESOME car to drive. I HATED the infotainment in the thing but I was able to keep up and run down 911 GTSs, M3s and M5s due to those combinations and my driving skill (slightly above average). The sound was HEAVENLY. The only model above was the SVT that my brother in law bought. MSRP was $118K as it had the full leather option interior and a few other things. I paid $85K for it late in 2017. LOVED it but unfortunately we lost it to an un attentive foreigner who was late for a round of golf who ran into the rear of it at 45MPH as we were stopped in a turning lane. I would probably buy another new one over a used 911 since it's the "last hurrah". Spoiler goes up when speed exceeds 85MPH

[@ThinkfreeorDie]

This is an absolute bucket list car for me. I will own one of these one day. I would much rather have one of these over a 911. Oddly enough I'd rather have the first gen because I think it looks better but I'll settle for one of these too

The best looking F Type is the mild-facelift update from 2018 to 2020 before they changed the headlights completely. Compared to the original model the headlights were updated to LED's and the front bar was tidied up a bit so it looks much fresher than the earlier models and doesn't have that same feeling of looking "old" compared to the new ones. I did have a 2018 V6 supercharged that I loved so I may be biased

[@CruiseControl1]

I do like the look of the old one better but that v8 sounds amazing.

[@iSOBigD]

The problem is the old one (2016+) had an even better V8 sound, also had AWD and only had about 25 less HP. Honestly I don't see too many reasons to buy the new one when only the displays were updated and the lights which arguably look worse than before, and it only sounds good after 3500 RPM or so.

I have a very low mileage minty 2017 F Type SVR and I absolutely love it. I have had the crank pulley changed, 200 cell sport cats and downpipes added, and a tune from VAP and it made an already fast car much faster. Above 3500 RPM it is a rocket ship. I went between the AMG GT and the SVR for a couple of months but chose the SVR as the ultimate F Type model rather than a more base model AMG GT. The SVR is a pleasure to drive anywhere, and I don't think it's overly stiff when you have the adjustable adaptive suspension setting at the softest setting. I think they are just beautiful and classy sports cars, and I do agree that the older style of headlights looked better than the new ones. The only feature I like better on the new F Type R is the front grill which lacks the crossbar the earlier style had. Some of the special SVR-only parts have now made it to the regular R model like the rear diffuser and the 575 HP tune, whereas before the R was 550HP. Anyway, great little review of a great car.

I have a '17 SVR as well, and I'm considering a pulley/tune. Have you had any issues? Are you on 91 octane? The only reason I haven't done it yet is because I'm in the middle of nowhere. However, I'm moving to a metropolitan area (in Texas) and look forward to finding a tuner for this platform.

[@whiteman2812]

@@amathern The only tuner to use IMO is Velocity Automotive Performance in Canada or just search VAP Automotive Performance. They have been doing R&D on the F Type for a long time, and everything I have gotten from them has been really good, from the parts to the tune. They are also very helpful if you need it, they will answer or return your call every time (often the owner of the company himself), and they are close to introducing a full E-85 package for the F Type, the first of any of the shops that specialize in this model. I have had no problems at all with their products or my car since I went with them. The ONLY negative thing I can say is I thought the 200 cell cats and down-pipes sounded bad on my car, but some of that is probably due to the factory cat-back Titanium exhaust that comes on the SVR. Titanium creates a higher pitch naturally, and their downpipes made it too metallic. *WITH THAT SAID, they fixed that issue by making a custom set of downpipes and 200 cell sport cats for me that included in-line small-diameter resonators, and that made ALL THE DIFFERENCE!* *They sound GREAT!!!* *These custom-built resonated downpipes pipes are no longer a special order-only deal, they are NOW A STANDARD EXTRA COST OPTION you can choose on the website.* I would recommend getting the resonated version to any buyer, whether they are an SVR or R owner. They just sound better in tone, pitch, and volume than the non-resonated version. I had ZERO problems with the crank pulley and the engine and trans tune for two years. My wife even ran a 10.9 1/4 mile in it after running an 11.1 and 11.0 over and over again. I just installed their supercharger pulley last week, along with a new belt and some other maintenance parts. Its a great design for the pulley in that it uses a heat-fit stainless steel hub and a bolt-on Grip-Tec treated pulley that you can swap in minutes. The factory pulley is a single press-fit assembly that is tedious to change. I haven't had a chance to finish it quite yet, but just need to install the new tune for it and the trans tune they sent me. Hopefully this weekend I will get it done. That should make the car a consistent 10.6 to 10.9 car in the 1/4. As you can probably tell, I do A LOT of research on any car part I use before I try it, and I have no doubt it will RELIABLY make the car faster. That is a big thing with VAP, they do not want to tune your engine to run on the ragged edge where it might have a little more power but it is super-hard on the engine. Their tune gets the most they can out of the engine and SC without over-stressing it to the point of being unreliable or breaking parts on the car. I live in KY and all of the gas stations here have 87, 89, and 93 octane. I run 93 all of the time in this car, but will absolutely swap it to E85 like my HCREWB Challenger when the kit is ready that they are developing.

Just goes to show how individual this issue is. Most people don’t agree from what I can tell, but the front of the original design was the only aspect of the car that I wasn’t a huge fan of. I personally love what the redesign delivered for the front end. Most definitely looks more up-to-date and better. I do have the sense I’m in the minority on this though. The rear though? Pretty much universally loved from what I can tell. It’s the bomb. The diffuser on the newest iteration of the R is just what it needed to make an already incredible look that much more incredible.

Can't wait to drive one of these, i really feel like they're under-represented and unappreciated

[@Peeyoosh-mq4lr]

Ohhh yessss i have been asking for this at least it got an extra throttel house review

[@KWParrish]

I think one thing that is misses is that the F-type is having a massive resurgence on 2nd hand market. For the price of a used one, it hard to find a nicer and better performing car and for that reason its becoming a very desirable used car. Maybe more so than when it was new.

[@mrbzliteyear]

Perhaps it’s like the Maseratis & people don’t trust used Jags engines & their reliability?

[@robcioffi7725]

Picked up a 2020 model and absolutely love it, still not sure about the new front but it is starting to grow on me the more I see it

[@freshtowels3917]

Man those upshifts are lightning quick and crisp. Just bam bam bam. Love that. Also I think this car is more special that a 911 cause it's more rare.

[@dlj1285]

Really not that hard given that 911s are everywhere. To the point where they are no longer special at all. Speaks to how great of a car they are to be sure, but there is something to be said for rarity for sure. These Jags, especially the most modern variants, are pretty epic in terms of the overall package (looks, handling, power, sound, reliability). I own a 2024 R and there is no doubt in my mind that the current misinformation around reliability makes people scared to buy them. The hit or miss dealership experiences adds as well I suppose (there is certainly some truth to that). Add in the relatively higher depreciation compared to other options and it becomes a low volume vehicle despite its chops. It's a shame. The true appreciation for these cars will come later.

[@NomadJRG]

I very much agree with the opinion on the styling, when I first saw the new design I was not overly impressed and immediately looked up the much loved old design to compare. Suddenly it looked old even though it always looked great.

[@jeffreyb.1657]

Have a 2016 with awd, v6 S. Better looking and the gauges actually are sort of cool with differing fonts...very track car. Amazing, beautiful, fast, sounds F1, all one could need on the street....the R has "too much" power and one has to always watch it...the 400 is about as much as you can use safely all day every day. And the 2016 had the hugging adjustable side bolsters.... I added wireless carplay and now it is just perfect. Way better looking than a 911 and can take a big suitcase for long trips with easy... Best sleeper supercar out there. Oh, CPO for 2 years when bought in April for under 40k usd.....the best deal out there by far. Colors to get for long term: green, dark blue, silver. Done. It gets a lot of love from everyone. 911's don't get love. Nor do caymans/boxters. If you buy used well, you are way, way ahead. Had a 996tt track modded with ohlins. Prefer life with the F-type. Not heavy feeling. The only thing I wish it had was better front corner visibility - but as you go hard the car shrinks and feele more and more nimble. Under 30mph it feels big. Repeat, under 40k out the door with 2 years of warranty. Deal of the century. Likely not cheap to keep but wow what a car. Not everyone has one too....and I like that. No, it is not a track car. It is the car you get after you tire of the track car and realize you want a car to drive long, winding roads with on the way to something special (and every day). The F type makes grocery shopping a cool experience. 1 year later. No issues at all. More reliable than my subaru's, porsches, and volvo's. 2 years later. Still, no issues. Tuned to 550hp on e85 and 475hp on 93 ....usually in normal gas mode and it is wonderful....just about 500hp, utteryly reliable, and under 40k. Tune and metal coolant pipe preventive maintenance and fluids and no issues. Lovely car.....way more reliable than a 911....and frankly way more timeless looking. I plan to keep it.

[@briangriffith3985]

big fan when they first came out. the V6 on full chat sounds 👌

[@tylerckapp]

Maybe I have bad taste, well, yeah that’s more than likely. But i like this front end more. I always felt like the F-Type had something off about the front end, and this Facelift fixed it for me, I do think it could look MORE like the previous gen, but the new headlights? MAN! they’re sexy.

[@dantebouwer]

exactly the same - find this so much more stunning

[@daryldevine8517]

So I'm guessing you find the headlights of a Hyundai sexy too? The new headlights look so generic and blends in with every other car on the road. There's nothing unique about the new face.

[@dlj1285]

A man with taste. This is what the car should have looked like from the beginning.

[@jacobwebb8818]

Those upshifts sound INSANE on this car! Crazy how it shifts so well and sounds so smooth

The ZF in this car is considered the best implementation by many.

[@jacobwebb8818]

@@dlj1285 is that the same for the last gen F-Type as well? I know they both have ZF8HP transmissions. I have considered getting either a last gen XF or F type in the future and I would really prefer to have the 8 over the 6 speed

[@dlj1285]

@@jacobwebb8818 This latest variant of the F-type they are reviewing here is the latest and greatest programming for their ZF implementation that they offer (8 speed). As I understand it, the reason why it is supposedly better than other implementation out there in other cars is that this newest F-type got the exact programming from their super expensive Project 7 F-type trickled down to it...Which they apparently spent a lot of time on getting just right... I have a 2024 R and this box is incredible man. The one thing I hated is that I could not get a manual in this car, but now after experiencing this box I could care less. It is that involving. I always drive around in manual sport shift mode. I can't honestly directly compare it to ZF implementations in other cars myself, as I have not driven other implementations. I only know what this and other reviews have said in this regard. When I put this together with my direct experience on my 2024 it makes complete sense to me.

[@markbade565]

Still extremely pretty car. But I just see R8 in the front now On an unrelated note, it's great to see you guys back in Ontario. After doing so many brilliant reviews in the US, i was worried we were going to lose you guys to the Americans, as you guys have had some amazing success lately. You're both national treasures!

[@simonhurlimann908]

So true what you said at the beginning about the design of the old and the new version… crazy

[@moogle68]

As "dated" as the gorgeous original front end may look, I think it would've been more profitable to stay truer to it's design and keep a wider range of engines available, with at least 2 options so that us poorer folk could have a hope and a dream of one day being able to afford one, even if it didn't end up being the full bore V8 big cat that we all want. With such a drastic change to the front end (while still good looking), I feel like anything that has the orignal styling will be worth significantly more than used examples of this design once they become "old".

[@pyro530916]

It's like they tried to fit it with Audi headlights.

[@jeffreyb.1657]

Everyone save those with a new car in hand prefer the older car....silly move. The older car was unique..this is audi/mazda ish. Not bad, but not special. Look how great Porsche does with their "old" headlight with LED's....they could have done the same sort of evolution of the old front end....

Couldn’t agree more, these are actually pretty obtainable used, and with the styling of the 2018 and older models along with the factory pops and bangs, I would absolutely love to own one some day after college and hopefully med school. A guy at our church drives a dark red f type R and it’s unmistakably beautiful.

Problem with the new f type is the main appeal of getting an f type was the sound and looks. And both have been dulled down, you'd buy an f type over a 911 because you wanted the amazing looks and the ridiculous sound which it now lacks

[@jeffreyspencer4005]

Probably went into the dealer for repairs immediately after this video. Great car, as long as you have a Porsche to drive when this one spends WAY too much time in the shop. My son used to work at our local JLR dealer and told me that the reliability of these things sucks. Most Jag dealers stay alive on shop profits and not on the miniscule sales.

[@aj89803]

So fun fact my dad has daily driven his 2018 ftype r for a year and has never had any sort of repairs. What is costing him the most is replacing the tires frequently. Also he is surprised by the fact that he can get nearly 30mpg on the highway. So, it has been a pretty great purchase so far.

[@Iamthestig42069]

C5 corvette is a fraction of the money, has a 200,000 mile engine and can be fixed with on the shelf autozone truck parts and a hammer when/if it does break and has pop up headlights. 911s don’t go to 200k, aren’t DIY friendly and parts are hard to get and very expensive

Factor in confirmation bias. Ask any dealer mechanic if he thinks the cars they sell are reliable. By definition, all they see are problems. That's true for ALL brands, including Porsche.

Same. Never a big fan of the previous front end design, with the lower air intakes sticking more outward on both sides then the headlights it just doesn't look right.

I love the 911, but it's just not as fun as a top-trim F-Type (although still very fun).

[@suppaman19]

Different style cars. Ones built for precision, the other is built for fun. Doesn't mean a 911 isn't fun, it just doesn't evoke feelings like a V8 F Type. Certainly had fun with my 991 4S vert, but the car generally felt more clinical than my 18 F Type R. I'd have loved something that perfectly split the difference of both down the middle, but nothing in that price range exists like that.

[@abigaelbalbuena1917]

As a potential buyer, here's the thing, and what not one reviewer dares to delve into in sufficient detail: reliability. I don't care how many pops the exhaust does on overrun, if the thing is a problem to own there's no sense to paying for it, for example the C8's DCT foibles. Porsche or Lexus it is for me then.
