New Jaguar F-Type P450 review. Why this is a half-price Aston V8 Vantage.

[@Dan-up6do]

I'm very much a Jag guy myself Harry so i totally agree, the F-Type is a very overlooked car. I've said for years Jaguar need to go back to racing, it's very much part of the brands DNA.

[@vika0194]

Overlooked is a good thing. I don’t want my car to be everywhere on the street. I have an XJ and F-type. Only around 200 XJ (2010-2020) in my country and 235 F-type. I live in Sweden.

[@rovercoupe7104]

Jaguar does Formula E, I think. I am not sure how popular Formula E is.

[@andysedgley]

I'm certain my 4 cylinder x-type diesel is half a v8 f-type and therefore a quarter of a Vantage 😂

[@windyrun7979]

I think one reason its sales aren't higher is the design of the dash and interior. It seems a bit dated and a bit like its not sure if its old school luxury or modern tesla. The exterior design is fantastic.

[@craig6t]

They've won the Le Man's 24-hour race 7 times: 5 times in the 50's; Once in 1988 and once in 1990. They know how to make race cars and all this knowledge flows into their civilian cars. Jag enthusiasts know this, but I don't think the general population really gets it.

[@jackburtonstwin]

I feel Jaguar have struck an excellent balance with this car. For 99% of drivers this car offers more than sufficient performance and grunt to light up the rear tyres while keeping things within the bounds of most drivers abilities to control. It's also a good value proposition compared to its competitors.

[@comeberza]

If we account for inflation, this car has gotten cheaper

[@jackburtonstwin]

@@comeberza I agree. This is closer to the historical ethos of Jaguar in offering great cars, with blistering performance, at prices substantially lower than the exotic competition.

[@comeberza]

@@jackburtonstwin I like aston but the vantage and dbx are not good enough for the price. And this jag may have a bit less power, but who really cares

[@julianevans9548]

I agree. Plus, I could certainly do without fake pops from the exhaust. Not to mention a noisy start-up: I neither want to annoy the neighbours nor drive through town making a lot of noise and looking like a clown.

[@manoszervas9613]

comeberza tune jag p450 and with the unlock of the engine , it will produce 575 ps like the p575

[@mattdirks7896]

I gotta be honest, that Jag grabs my heart in a way that the Aston doesn't. But I don't have the wallet for either.

[@aka_pierre]

With Jaguar depreciation don't count on that. Know a guy who is a manager at a Kohl's and who drives an older v6 F-Type that he picked up for $40k.

[@johnsherborne3245]

Alternatively, learn the safe end of a screwdriver and buy a Porsche 928.

[@kristisrb]

It's the same for me. I adore the last Vantage, but the new one just doesn't feel attractive at all. I personally think the 4.0 AMG engine is soulless and doesn't sound that exciting despite all its power. Then it doesn't look very nice on the outside and the inside is plain odd. Some journalists talk about really unfinished calibration of the whole car. Strange how little people mention this (then again, I follow mostly british journalist, so it's understandable). This is before we get to the price. Meanwhile, even though a little old, the Jag is full of character and is not so confused about itself.

Hi Harry. As a fellow F Type farmer, (18R coupe), I have to agree that the car is fabulous, smiles everytime I drive it. And not just from the old guy inside. Have to agree on looks of the 2021new car. Just not sure. If you are ever in Western Canada, swing by for a tour of our grain farm, and a drive in the F type. Or our 68 E type. Quite a sight when driven together.

[@alexanderfoster3628]

As a former F-Type owner I have to agree about the looks. They have made it too Audi looking, aggressive styling has taken over from timeless design. I think the best looking F-Type were the final model year ones before the facelift. The xeons had been replaced with LEDs which very subtly modernised it whilst maintaining the same profile. A cracking car none the less and great value. A car that people like to look at and talk about.

History repeats itself. I’m old enough to remember back to 1961 when the Ftype took the motoring world by storm, priced at just under £2,200. At that time the Aston Martin DB 4 was roughly twice the price, at just under £4,000. When I bought my current Ftype V6 5 years ago, I was coming from years of owning German sports cars, and remembering back to the bad old days of British Leyland, I was concerned about reliability. My Ftype is my daily driver and has covered 34,000 miles, and I’m pleased to report that so far absolutely nothing has gone wrong. Great review.

I think its such a shame more people don't consider a jaguar in the UK and instead spend more on the German cars which seem less suited to driving here. Its strange so many people lust after the unreliable land rover products but don't consider the Jag or buy Astons that cost 4x more to service and maintain. Hopefully they will get back in to racing and build a supercar to elevate the coolness of the brand. Jags should be to GB what the mustang is to US.

Thanks Harry another great video - your videos have really helped lift my spirit during the pandemic and I love your style of delivery as it's more 'mature' and objective than other KZbin channels. As per Dan below I'm a Jag owner and love my XE - I'm the 3rd generation of my Family to run Jaguars, my XE feels special to drive very much like a sports car and not too far off the feeling of an F-Type - very underrated in my opinion. I love the classic styling and the seating position of the F-Type, so pleased that JLR have decided to continue with the AJ-V8 engine updated to reduce emissions and now built in-house as it's a real antidote to today's trend of downsizing and electrification, the undoubted saving in R&D over newer PU's has translated into offering the vehicle at a competitive price with very reasonable and fixed maintenance costs and less steep depreciation curve compared to an Aston Martin. Love your chickens getting a little cameo too :-)

[@SEAN518848]

I own a base V6 2018 F-TYPE Coupe. 20k miles in 2yrs. Nothing has broken and I got the impression that the F-TYPE has sorted out all of the little problems in the 2018 model year from fellow owners. I used to do PR for Aston Martin China. Every time I showed up in the F-TYPE, it kind of stole the thunder of the newly-launched Vantage. My only criticism is the electric steering which feels very Land Rover Discovery. So happy to see this problem getting resolved. Will own this car as long as the emission regulation allows.

Love your channel, Harry! Here in Michigan, USA, my wife and I have owned several Jag "grand tourers' -- 1989 XJS V-12 Coupe (sold and replaced with a too tiny Miata!), and we currently have in our stable a 2003 XK8 Convertible (16 yrs) and 2014 XK Coupe (5 yrs), along with several proper 4x4 vehicles for off-road adventures (down to just one at the moment). LOVE the looks of the F-Type; however, to me they feel like sitting in a cave with slits for windows, and they are rather stingy on luggage space -- more of a "go to the beach for the day" than a "weekend tourer"(?). Wife and I both like the parcel space that the back seats of the XK's provide, and the trunk space (especially in the XK8 Convertible) is fantastic for our road trips throughout Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Oh, and we don't have those nasty "run flat" tires -- there is space beneath the floors of the trunks of each XK for a proper spare tire/wheel (albeit a "space saver"). Sure wish Jaguar would bring back a proper "GT". Your thoughts?

Excellent review Harry! As a lifelong Jag lover and owner, I couldn't agree more with your comment about their absence from motorsport. I long for their return to sportscar racing and LeMans.

The difference in the approach and delivery was so marked I felt compelled to write to congratulate you. The joy in seeing the message that another Harry's Garage video has gone live is huge. I feel like a kid who's about to open a new present and it often comes across that is how you feel when driving a new car.

Still sounds great too, once the valves fully open up at least 👍

[@jeffreyb.1657]

Love the review. Toughest sports car is actually a really good point given the quality of the roads in the UK and the USA these days....really.... Own one. No issues in 6 years save service/maintenance stuff....brilliant car.

[@ronaldus2505]

A smile on Harry’s face says it all

[@ToyKingWonder]

Thanks Harry for plugging yourself into a great sound system. I have been enjoying your videos and many of them, once the drive starts, a lot of your important descriptions and information you are conveying gets lost in noise--and not good noise! Now we can hear the car, the road, and your voice conveying all the information. Another great bit of education in this one.

[@The_Foulmouthed_Cypriot]

Always a pleasure to watch a new Harry's Garage video. Excellent as usual, I knew Mr Metcalf wouldn't disappoint and he hasn't.

[@Lemma01]

This seems to be a winner on all fronts: your comments on Jag's market positioning are spot on IMO - but for those of us hoping to pick one up for closer to £30k in 3 or four years, I can live with that... 😊

[@richardmahoney9415]

Well my Sunday at work just went from crap to great new Harry’s Garage

[@richardhaynes4759]

'Velly tough as old boot' was the slogan for the Golf, I think to show that they were tougher than the Japanese cars back in the 70s - great slogan and great review!

[@suttonsplash14]

only Harry would light up his garage with motorbikes like that

[@adammarkowitz7944]

This is the best review of the P450 I've seen. Love my P450!

[@Harpreet06]

Pretty nice but I do prefer the older design and would go for an older F Type SVR personally.

[@santisizable]

Interior is so much better than Aston. Lovely, friendly and more affordable. Always loved Jags.

[@usuallyclueless4477]

I love some of these cars you review and I can only hope that one day I'll have enough money saved up to be able to afford one of these. For now, I'll be zooming around in my 2007 Suzuki Swift. After I get its battery replaced, that is.

[@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab]

I think the lighting seemed even better!? Jag seems ace, excellent value. 👍🏻 Great vid, Harry. 👏🏻

[@andrewdavis6226]

Great review Harry, As it happens I drove the routes you use last week in a 7.5 Golf GTi - fabulous roads and a great test for any car. New F type is now on my wish list!

[@garthlundquist8316]

I have had the very good fortune to own and drive Jaguars for over 50 years. Mark 7, XK120, XK 150, many E Types, and of course the XJ Series. The Mark 7 Saloon was my High School confidential ride. You can get 6 cute girls in that rolling sculpture. Paid $700, drove it for 7years. Drove my XK 120 FHC for over 40 years. These cars taught me a lot, and my life has been greatly enriched by all the experiences with Jaguar shared with friends and family.

[@bicyclist2]

If I had the money I'd want the older version because it had a manual transmission option. This doesn't unfortunately. Even some of the new 992 911s have a manual option. Thanks.

[@ktfx5]

Same. I get why they got rid of it but nothing beats a stick v8 Jag

[@colhapablap]

Keep working and keep your dreams alive, it will come (proud mid-50’s F-Type owner that spent 30 years making sacrifices driving knackered Puntos, Mondeos etc etc..). Never give up, you have to have dreams.... you have to believe hard work gets rewarded in the end. Keep believing amigo 👍

[@camwat5193]

@@beetleything1864 it’s not the same. Besides, you’d be having sleepless nights running one on a budget with no warranty. Go new only when you can afford it. If not, stay away. These are not cars to be running on a budget.

[@zaklingenhammer2149]

You ever feel like someone is living your ideal life..... yea

[@Santoshlv426]

I fully agree with the fact that this car looks brilliant with the rear spoiler. I have the "R" with the fixed rear spoiler and it makes all the difference. Transforms the cars profile. It certainly is a "must have" extra

[@RetroGamerVX]

I think the older car looks the more modern! Love the sound of them :o)

[@kiphenrie2291]

Love your quaint british reviews! I have the 2014 Vs convertible. Its been great! The used F-Type is an immense value. Will replace it most likely w another V6 2021. Yep its that fun.

[@advancelast1740]

I would love the Aston (badge snobbery? You bet!! It is an Aston after all) but just couldn’t justify the price. Jag it is then

[@hanniffydinn6019]

I am definitely upgrading from the S type to F type. Boy that is alot of money.

[@jebstuart4004]

when i was 30 years old, i thought a V8 mustang was not for me. At 45, i have the 2019 model. Today i think that such a fabulous Jaguar is not for me. Perhaps it will be mine in 10 years !

[@garethhanna9173]

Utterly gorgeous, that's my pension lump sum gone.

[@stevef01]

FWIW I have a customer who did just that. Spent his TFC on a F Type convertible. Very sensible bloke in my view.

[@stevef01]

@Calcifer Correct. The new ones are bought on PCP. After three years, and usually low mileage, they come onto the market are really good money.

[@dhdove]

I spent mine on an R172 SLK55AMG, never regretted it.

Having been a life time admirer of Jaguar and having a 1998 XJR from new which I love . BEING A MEMBER OF JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE AVAILBLE online Jaguar Forum I would not go near a new one with all the quality control issues they apparently now have, and the appaling response from Jaguar/Landrover over issues when ever I read any of the related forums on the internet from despairing owners its truly tragic and is seriously putting me and others off.
