Jaguar F-Type V6S Long Term Review & Ownership

[@rabobravo]

I'm 30 and this Jag was supposed to be my self birthday present, thanks to covid now will be my 31st year old present. EDIT: My birthday is in 1 month but I just got my full black V6 F-type in the garage. Your video helped me to decide, thank you!

Who would have thought that Jaguar could pull off such an image change that a brand once associated with old men is now the object of desire by men only just old enough to shave.

[@Oliur]

Don’t know if this is a jab or a compliment, but I’ll take it 😂

[@earthstick]

Kind of both. It started as a compliment to Jag but I couldn't finish it without a quip at the end. But Jag transformation is remarkable.

[@doggies.will.be.doggies]

[@jamiermathlin]

I owed a V6S from 2013 to 2017, loved the car, just fantastic, however, what I did not like was how other people treated me while driving it, I had verbal abuse from people on the sidewalk while just sitting in traffic, people would not give me any room on very narrow roads, as they know you would yield, Envy is a horrible thing and sadly there are a lot of people who suffer from it. I loved the sound and I loved the way it drove, now I have a Range Rover Sport instead, as a result all the problems seem to have gone away, especially the narrow road problems.

Really nice review, agree with you regarding Jaguar dual character, it's two cars for the price of one really. Agreed on touchscreens too, fine for certain functions but as you say basic controls need physical buttons for safety. I've got an XE S as I need rear seats but I'd love an F-type one day!

Dan Galyen Review? I'm f-type shopping now and so confused about all the choice

[@michaelsternberg1274]

What a highly informative and practical review! One commentator appears surprised that Jaguar has ceased to be a “car for old men”. In fact, the brand always had a diverse audience. Sir William Lyons - its founder - realised to be profitable this was vital. In the 1950s and 1960s the XK 120s, 140s,150s, and originally the E Types were largely younger peoples’ cars. The current management has happily realised that. The success of the F type says it all. I look forward to more reviews from Oliur. Thanks for posting.

[@RJ-nf3jm]

What is the rage with BMWs? Regardless of the number, they all look alike. Same with the tired old face of the Porsches. The F-Type is the “poor man’s super car.” Awesome looks. Pins you back in the seat and turns heads because so few are on the road and people want to know, “what’s THAT fine car?” Thank you, Jaguar, for producing style, class, power, and value for such an incredible car. I have the 2020 P340, and it’s all the F-Type I need. The balance and handling are so fine, and that little stylish devil moves! Thank you for your review. Very nicely done!

[@teknewsdaily]

[@RavenValkyrie]

I love how you speced the car, green with the bronze details are absolutely beautiful.

[@jeremydeering8280]

Great review. I have never been a Jaguar fan (reliability being one of my biggest reservations with the brand), but fell in love with the F-type from the moment I saw one in a parking lot. I actually parked my car and got out just to get a closer look, as it is an absolutely beautiful design. Once I heard the sound of the exhaust, I was in love.

[@mikeymikeFType]

Three years late with a comment! Excellent review. I have the V6 R dynamic 380hp AWD ..completely black. Absolutely love it. Jaguar really did get it right with this one. I was thinking about getting a remap which possibly would take it to 418hp but agree with you now 380 is plenty. Seems that every BMW or Audi driver wants to take you on. I just laugh and say ‘crack on’. Some may have better performance but they look so bland to me. F type has the better looks and heritage.

[@Rasmusostergaard]

What a lovely choice

[@BradleyCoopertest]

Bought mine today. Can’t wait. First jag after a couple of porsches.

[@patoubel]

Good review . I have the exact same car. I have 55000km on the odometer and only had one issue with the active exhaust system (broken, under warranty.). I love the car but like you said, the infotainment system is horendous. Little disappointment too with the sound system. Not as good as my B&O in my Audi S4. Sports seat are very comfortable, even for long runs. Also, It took me 2 years to find a good driving position, where I could see my speed and RPM. Cabin space in sparse...can't even find a place to put a bottle of water (door pocket too small).

[@JohnAgustinScuderia458595]

Hey man! Im seriously considering this car! Ill just ask how is the reliability of the V6S?

[@stevebiafore5131]

Man I am SO jealous! I thought the exact same thing -- saw the car when Jeremy drove it on Top Gear and absolutely fell in love. I've been lucky enough to drive it a couple of times, but I don't own one (yet). It is my absolute dream car, I hope I can own one some day!

[@patoubel]

When I was thinking about buying a new convertible car, I decided that it would not be a Porsche 'cause there are too many of them in my city. I fell in love with the look of the Jag Ftype and of course, I saw the Top Gear movie with Jeremy and it conforted me in my choice.

[@g8joe]

I had an F type R and it was a blast.... wish i never got rid of it. I am looking at downsizing to the V6 I just need to drive and hear one... the sound of supercharged V8 was crack cocaine

I like this iteration of the car, those gills especially being seamlessly integrated into the bumper. I will be in the market for a 2016/2017 V6 manual car in a few months, convertible preferred but I'm not totally ruling out a coupe.

[@BobC59]

7:55 - AMEN!!! Having been a crash investigator for the IIHS for 10 years, I am shocked The Institute is not fervently against touch screens. In a day when someone can get ticketed and severely fined for using a phone while driving, it is absurd that hunting and pecking various built-in touch screens is allowable.

[@DanFreebairn]

Brilliant video mate, b-roll really nicely shot and edited. Looking forward to more car content.

[@135iN55]

I have a V8 RWD convertible and completely agree the convertible is a must so you are completely immersed in the gorgeous harmonies--the car fills the landscape around you with rousing exotic crescendos that shocks Ferraris and Lambos wanting to race--bad idea on their part--the Jag just obliterates them and they sound like shit by comparison. The insane volume and viciousness of aggressive revs will flatten any competitors tires and shatter their windows, there is no way this car is street legal out of the box--I love it. Personally, I also love that it doesn't really have an infotainment system, I click the power button once to display the jag logo and leave it that way. You are exactly right that its hard to see curbs. Mine has been perfect too, and I have a Racechip GTS Black and a smaller pulley for 695 HP dynos. I have owned a lot of sportscars and nothing compares to the F-Type. It blows EVERYTHING away at the local quarter mile track while being incredibly luxurious and comfortable. 29 mpg in 8th. Phenomenal.

having previously owned a jag XE AWD, i can say that the handling was spot on with that car, as the awd system was taken out the f-ype. Also the infotainment system was awful, especially when the incontol apps on my phone stopped supporting spotify. At that time there was no aftermarket device as so much of the cars controls were built in. unless its the pro version of the head unit, this will feel quite dated, or outdated as time goes on
