Jaguar F-Type Classic Road Test | Fifth Gear

[@teinspringz]

Wow look how much Jonny has aged in 9 years, yet the F-Type still looks so young

[@F1Kamel_1992]

The F-Type Jag is nothing more than just beautiful.

[@jeffreyb.1657]

It is a lot more than just beautiful.

[@farishanafiah8461]

I'm a V8 man, but I got to say that the V6S engine sounds great. In fact, this might be the car where I pick the V6 over the V8.

[@richardw5375]

Aren't any V6 available in the uK only the 2L or 5L v8

[@farishanafiah8461]

@@richardw5375 Jaguar has stopped making V6 F-Type, so that's the only engine choice you got.

[@200mphBrian]

Go listen to a V8 again trust me there's no comparison

[@Jcstuart1]

@@richardw5375plenty available, you just have to turn to the used market.

[@jeffreyb.1657]

Side by side I heard them both...the V6 is more F1 and the V8 is more muscle car. Since muscle cars are a dime a dozen on this side of the pond, so to speak (mustang, camaro, corvette.....), I went V6 and tuned it to 475hp on 93...no regrets. It is unique sounding and has more than enough power as tuned for the road/street - have awd. Wonderful car. Utterly reliable....just get metal coolant pipes.

I am lucky enough to now own a F Type almost identical to this one, on the same month as petrol goes to over £2 a Lt. Sods law! won't stop me driving it though. What a car!

[@js1465s]

Jealous! I am curious, how much you spend on fuel a month?? I want one so bad, but scared it’ll bankrupt me 😅

[@fourspooks4518]

@@js1465s I am retired now,, it took me most of my working life to save enough to buy one outright. So it only has limited use. Occasional runs on a dry day. I could not afford the fuel if it was my only car. Basically it's just a toy, however! what a TOY!.

[@johngriffin4028]

A beautiful car!!

[@Allan-pd6im]

Cannot believe Jaguar are not going to Make another classic sports car Bring back macullum design think Jaguar great not going backwards as future at present !!!

[@mickadatwist1620]

This is the car every single reviewer has been raving about.

[@Kelveron]

1:30 "...and this car, could be a real Porsche killer.." The unprophetic words of Johnny Smith!

[@garyvandesande2677]

Better than Boxter S but not 911? In other words you get what you pay for! I'd have the Jag on looks alone.

[@roadreg1820]

I tell ya Johnny’s a tasty driver ya know. Underrated 😎 Stunning car.

[@philzvids3577]

I would like one. It's on my shopping list.

[@ZesPak]

Who's this kid with the beanie? Will never amount to anything 😁

[@ESHIELDS]

BRING BACK TIFF

A car with an engine 👍👍👍

[@nimsara_bogahawatta]

this remind meabout top gear

[@squarebid3]

Absolutely beautiful car my one concern is reliability I know I know all cars can have issues but speaking to my local garage best left alone was the answer what are your experiences.

[@savageZ4]

Sounds like a Porsche you say. Are we on the same planet? my dad has a 911 I have a V6S and they sound nothing alike at all.

[@FFE-js2zp]

Porsches sound like plugged vacuum cleaners. They are, after all, really just super beetles.

[@coolaa7]

More refined than a Porsche 911?

[@TheMarkyMarx]

most definitely, from a design perspective the F-Type is a much sexier car.

[@FFE-js2zp]

All ZF8 Jags are full manuals.

[@kevinl6231]

Why are you guys rehashing a 10 yr old viddy?

[@fasthracing]

And for 2013 versions rusting subframes.

[@jetsetter883]

Epic

[@richardthomson203]

A Jaguar the quintessential British sports roadster ! And what does this guy do, drive a left hand drive one in Europe ! Of course no decent roads in Uk are there, so you must move into Europe ? Wroooooong !

[@henryviii6341]

almost nobody takes their car to a race track. it’s irrelevant to 99% of Jag owners.

[@FFE-js2zp]

The V8 RWD is lighter with 2x the power.

[@Lasergun74]

I just don’t get this reposts of old road tests. Not old enough to call them “classics”, in this days these videos are just outdated information…

[@sherparoyale]

Rented a 2017 F-type a couple months ago. It’s absolutely horrible! I was shocked. I have a Porsche 911 and have owned several BMWs (and own a 5 series). Terrible electronic steering feel, throttle response is laggy, sport mode suspension is a bouncy house, gimmicky high rev start and seating positioning/space is limited (I’m only 5’10”). Less luggage space than my P too. Walked away sad (and happy to know I didn’t want one). Hope this helps others. Edit after watching the vid: it’s sad/reality how much these reviewers have to appease the manufacturer for business reasons.

[@bicyclist2]

The Biggest problem is that Jaguar doesn't offer a proper manual transmission. I'd always buy a Porsche because of the manual option. Thank you.

[@wjvtv]

The F-Type was offered with a 6MT in 2016

[@FFE-js2zp]

The real problem with the 911 is it is soooooo godawful slow. With 330 ft-lbs it can’t accelerate out of a paper bag. The V8 F-Type gaps a 911 out of sight. It’s absurdly faster. A turbo S is easily obliterated in a roll race by the V8 F-Type too. The margin is smaller but as you point out, Porsche have a long way to go on quality, being ranked worst in the world by an enormous margin. The V8 Jag is untouchable by anything coming from Germany or the US.

[@MarkGardiner-g2y]

What a crap review! There's no way you can compare the 'S' to a 911. That's the job of the 'R' and it's way cheaper. The wrong man reviewing the wrong car.

[@johndewey6358]

Jags lack the reliability of Porsches.

[@formula1fancolorado632]

Bet the dude driving it could never afford one in a million years.

[@fatfreddyscoat7564]

The current model F Type is so vanilla and boring looking it’s like a big MX5. Jaguar design team needs sacking.

[@FFE-js2zp]

They ruined the most beautiful Callum design in history. It’s criminal.

[@dlj1285]

@@FFE-js2zp Oh please, they did not. The car is now what it should have been from the start. The original f-type looks dated now.

[@Freddy-td8fl]

Can you review reliable cars please, I am tired of the trash

[@200mphBrian]

The V8 F-Type is reliable do a little research

[@ianfantomx7]

probably cant afford one !

[@Freddy-td8fl]

If is not reliable is trash 🗑️ Pure trash

[@200mphBrian]

That's true but the V8 F-Type is a very reliable car do a little research before you comment
