Finally Driving The NEW Jaguar F-Type! [Is It Better Or Worse?]

[@iMo4s]

Like having a talk with your ex girlfriend, just so see how they're doing now. And then realising she doesn't look like you remembered her.

[@seenthroughglass]

Hahahaha

[@jeppepedersen2363]

[@garys7828]

We know jags are maybe not the most technically advanced, maybe a little behind the Germans. However in a world of identikit cars, due to safety legislation etc. Jags remain distinctive and you know its a jag and they are British.... I think they remain a cool and proper car choice 👍

[@seenthroughglass]

Im such a Jag fan boy. Hoping to film more in 2021

[@resnonverba137]

A very positive review of a lovely-looking car. Jaguars are underrated and I wish the company every success.

[@seenthroughglass]

Same!

[@BMW_Supremacy]

I think they will achieve more success if they offer a bit more performance, the are offering a 2 ltr throughout the line up. They must consider offering a performance version of xe with a inline six competing with bmw M3, Audi rs5, merc c. Also add a 3.8 v8 to their xf to compete with m5,s8 and e63s amg. Ps I know about the project 8 being a competition to the m3 but it is limited in number

[@money.markets]

I think they've ruined the front end of it

[@tsukamano]

The reliability ?

[@BMW_Supremacy]

@@tsukamano they were unreliable a few years ago. Right now they are very reliable luxury cars, google it.

[@pedrobambinoperez2572]

This is my absolute dream car and I will be able to afford it in 4 to 5 years. It's just painful to watch it on the screen and not being able to touch it. I crave it soo badly

[@eddieconroy212]

Loving your enthusiasm Sam. I’m a huge Jag fan as well and I think they have knocked it out of the park with the new F-Type.

[@jal2381997]

I really loved the V6 engine in the F-type, feeling gutted it’s not an option in the new version

[@CarloAngelici]

The front looks like a new Mazda 3, it´s not bad but I still prefer the old one.

[@seenthroughglass]

Good point! Ha. It’s looks like lots of other cars I think which isn’t bad, just maybe not as good as before

[@axing_]

The front of the new Mazda 3 looks really good so it's not a bad thing to copy surprisingly

[@thesaabcontinuum1983]

In grey it reminded me of an Evo X from the front.

[@Sambnt]

No joke, I got an ad for a Mazda 3 at the end of this video. A confirmation??

[@pwburch1988]

Was very lucky to try both V8 models at JLR Fen End and loved every second. You will love the R, a noticeable increase in every aspect, performance, character, smiles. What is clear, is the passion Jag engineers have for the F Type. Proud V6S owner but oh so tempted by the V8.

[@ThomasHoffDE]

i have a 2020 V8 and would hate to lose any exhaust sound - its a HUGE part of the experience. LOVE the sound.

[@NetMillionaire]

Brilliant review ❤ great car, I might buy one 😊

[@ronny1990]

Still remember the time when the sound of the Jag used to be in your intro. Brutally beautiful.

[@aidanbond9934]

I love the f-type. The first time I found your channel was when you still had yours and I loved it.

[@supercarsaustralia9115]

You always make some of the best reviews. The “new shape” looks so good Sam!

[@pointbreak24]

Finally a positive review!! People keep trashing on the new f type but I think it's a fantastic car

[@BullfrogProtectsTadpoles]

it looks a bit more minimalist in design, maybe a bit more aggressive. I like it

[@danielclaudio5764]

Have personally placed the SVR as a goal of mine within the next three years. Love the pre-facelift look, especially the SVR, it’s the only car I can think of with such a brutish and aggressive presence at the price point it’s in!

[@askiamuhammad5308]

This was 2 years ago. Closer to your goal? I’m working towards f type r myself

[@hugq14]

I got an SVR last October. I don’t regret it a bit! Best car I ever owned!!

[@dlj1285]

Time’s up ;-o

[@mannski7269]

Great to see a Jag back on the channel Sam. Miss seeing your old red one and the insane exhaust it had.

[@utkarshkaushik617]

this is like the good old days you with the f type going on a trip with paul in his gallardo bicalore and shmee in his 675lt coupe those were the lovely days😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@trenthazbroek5602]

Content with your old Jag was some of my favourite KZbin content ever. This new car doesn't have quite the same charm as the old one but your videos still excel!

[@malamanhad]

the front of the car looks mazda-ishh...and the back basically didn't change.

[@quacktac]

The older Rs are bloody good value for money. You can get them on finance for the same money as a new 320i.

[@seenthroughglass]

Agreed!

[@tootalltodrive]

Can you?

[@quacktac]

@@tootalltodrive maybe little more, but some of the early ones are about £40,000 now.

[@tootalltodrive]

[@quacktac]

@@tootalltodrive Magnitude got me a pretty great deal.

[@glennmiller9491]

Yes, it looks better. Spec it right and you’ll be in the perfect car. The E type is mind lovingly fantastic, but I’m an average driver living in the 20’s.

[@jameswhitehorn6432]

I think the only real problem with these cars is the quality of the interior. When the F-type first came out, one would wonder how Jaguar was managing to sell a ~500hp V8, with those looks and design lines, the 8 speed ZF, a limited slip diff, and such a playful chassis for less than the price of a base 911. And when you sit in one, you realise. It's not that it feels objectively bad, but it does feel cheap when you consider that you are paying £70-80k for it. Rattles in the interior, cheap plastics everywhere, lower qualities of leather than in its rivals. Maybe that doesn't matter to many, but if you sit in an F-type, and then sit in an AMG GT for example, the Jag feels unbelievably cheap.

[@satyanarayanapottimutti4952]

This channel....I recently joined the STG squad(like 4 months ago) and I was not disappoined at all! A really good car channel to recommend, amazing video quality! Lovely❤️

[@seenthroughglass]

Great to hear! Welcome on board

[@danielheathcote5625]

I’ve never been in an f-type so no comparison on how mic’s pick sound up. My dad and I saw a v8 when we were driving back to his house and he was like “I want that car - it’s stunning!” He couldn’t believe the noise was coming from the same car!

[@Houthiandtheblowfish]

[@Kellen6795]

OMG OMG OMG OMG The new F-Type!!!!!! As a fellow Jag fanboy I am super excited

[@seenthroughglass]

Whoop whoop

[@ShowermanMaxwell]

Fantastic review. Followed you for a while but the production value and professionalism of this one is top-notch. I have a 2015 V6 S which I wouldn't change for the world.

[@reynoutdecourt7983]

Ha ha. I had a 2016 V6 and went up to the V8 SVR. Man alive, it is in another league. Lucky for driving in NZ!!!

[@MasterCurry69]

Can I just say that the quality of the video, especially the scenery of the little town of you sitting on the car and having a chat is some quality work. Never lets us down Sam!

[@OSUCherokee1]

It almost sounds as good as my '15 F-Type S. Sorry, I love the V8, but the V6 was the sweet spot of the range and sounds incredible. I don't like the new front end. The rear is nice, and the updated infotainment is welcomed. Losing the "sillyness" in character to me is the greatest loss. It's what puts a smile on my face every time I drive my Jaaaaaag.

[@AlphaLlama]

I think they did an amazing job with the car. The rear didn't really need an improvement, i always liked it. The front however was a little tame, not that exciting. But they did a brilliant job with the front redesign, in my opinion. Overall, love it!

[@michaelikedi9245]

Was patiently waiting for this video🤣🤣only Stag's opinions matters on f-types

[@Dieene1234]

New F-type is nice, but would love to see a Project 7 in the garage at some point. So much heritage!

[@seenthroughglass]

Would LOVe a project 7. Let’s see what happens

[@DauntingGecko]

I just watched Richard Hammonds video, now I’m on to yours. That goes to show how far you have come my friend...great content as always. 😎

[@Santoshlv426]

I am a big fan of Jaguar. After this video I made a special trip to my local dealer to check out the new F Type - In the Metal. The changes are subtle and really a matter of taste. I still prefer the overall look (especially the front) of my 2016 model. I hope that Jaguar still and will still continue to create beautiful, rather than "striking" cars. Wait until we get the CX75 (JLR if you're listening). Now that will blow everyone out the water !! But great Video and positive comments.

[@matteosiefert846]

Hey Sam. I went and bought a cheap second hand v6 FTYPE because I obsessed and binge watched all your FTYPE content. Would love to see as much FTYPE content as you can physically make. Buy another one!!!

[@seenthroughglass]

Congrats on the purchase! Would love another one at some point

[@BaruKz]

In my opinion I reckon you choose the best version of the bunch, in reality you really don't need more than 450bhp for a GT car and AWD just gives a good all season car. Like the japonese Jaguar knew were to improve the car on different aspects and the result it's very good. Nice one for reviewing this version.

[@garethhanna9173]

The front is a vast improvement, properly sleek. A classic example of Jaguar taking seven years to get their styling right. Ditto with interiors, they made a total balls up of the XE interior when it was introduced and then scratched their heads when it didn't sell.

[@MarcosPearson-v5v]

Thanks! Yes, much better. The price is so good too. I'll get it used and get the P450 in the $60k range. Love it.

[@carlosorozco4786]

Great video Sam! I'm glad to hear that the F-Type has improved! It looks great and I'm happy that it still sounds great!

Thanks pal

[@vika0194]

It's not ugly in any way. But it doesn't make me say wow, from the front. Looks like a GT car. The old looks like an exotic car and sounds much better.

Great review. At first, I wasn't sure about the new headlights but it's growing on me, especially from the side.

[@Florissvdv]

I think if this would be my only car, I'd have the new one. Still sounds really good, looks good (i mean, imagine it in a dark green metallic with espresso brown seats) and maybe a bit more civilized and usable on a daily basis.

I didn 't like the new front when I first saw it, but now looking at the previous F-Type this new version is much better looking.
