[@robertcroft2905]

Jay, I'd like you to test the 4 cylinder, just to see if it really is "that bad". The difference in cost is like £25-30k according to this video. The car and experience should be fun enough and special enough that 300bhp (340 with a stage 1 map) is enough to have good fun at a cheaper price point. This, coming from a KZbinr who regularly praises the lesser Boxster/ Cayman. Not everyone has 80k to spend on a V8 and it's running costs.

[@Fred8000W]

At that price I wonder if you couldn't just buy the 4 and stick an xk 5.0 in it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@julianadams2206]

I’ve learnt 3 things in this (rather excellent) review: 1. The new look of the F Type is a grower. 2. James really hates the 4 Cylinder model. 3. As an alternative to the ubiquitous (rear engines) choice in the 80-100k sports car class, this car deserves to find many happy customers.

[@aldo4580]

I had for 3 years the v6s,and it was just glorius.i tested also the v8,but i think that the V6S (maybe whit a tune or the restyling P400 version)is the perfect engine for this car,such a shame that is no longer available I dont know if the comparaison whit the 911 is fair,for me they are two different type of cars for two different porpouse

[@detonator2112]

F-Type is a stunning car. One of the best looking cars of the last decade. If only the rear was a little bit longer... I own a classic 911 but I have a huge respect for Jags. I love the looks of XK and F-Type and one day I'll get one. Cheers and keep up the good work.

[@andrewfrancis3591]

I agree with Jay, I have never had this power in a car, but from my experience with bikes In daily use full power is unusable on the roads, you burn through brakes and tyres like they are going out of fashion. Designers know this so if it is driven hard regularly, bits break.

[@ahemgee9542]

There's a lot more difference than just software between this and the 575 hp version. Also with a supercharged engine, especially a roots type one, you cannot gain the amount of power you suggested just with a map. Changes to the pulley would be required as well as fueling and cooling .

[@shoharasurahim4132]

you're right most people shouting the design too mellow...for me just ELEGANT... even the grill is larger than it needed to be... for me, headlights now horizontal,more proportionally sized to compliment its grill... most automotive headlights are to small [audi,Mercedes] or tall [suzuki swift,e-pace,Nissan gtr] relative to size of their grills..they call my preference is myth of the yesteryear style...

Everyone else in the world would say it’s the most beautiful coupe available! The 4 cylinder works really well in the car giving a good handling balance and actually a pleasant exhaust note! Much better than a 718, which doesn’t have an particularly impressive engine either. The media system is better than anything Porsche offer except for the latest high end ones. I have owned a 981 Boxster S, which is a great car, but the F-Type does many things so much better! Have you driven the new P300?

[@joshbacon8241]

From what I’ve heard, the reason why the supercharged V6 version of the F-Type is no longer offered in Europe is probably because it didn’t sell as well compared to the V8 and even the 4 cylinder turbo.

What’s worse, is that the whole community has convinced themselves that they need certain options to keep their 911 sellable in the future, and boy does Porsche know how to capitalize on that!

[@martyincanuckistan3635]

I own a 2019 F-Type V8 and I’ll agree with you. The Porsche is just better engineered and has more history to build on.But the biggest difference is the cost to maintain, insurance etc speaking only where I live. My F-type has been very reliable, fuel consumption is reasonable if you don’t (drive dynamic) all the time. I had a 2009 Aston Martin DB9 I loved it but it was a lover of the garage repair man something I despise when spending a lot of money on cars. So I’ll say the Jag has been a pleasant surprise from a maintenance perspective, and it sounds absolutely amazing in dynamic mode. I think comparing this to a Porsche however is a bit of a reach.

[@TIMSANDYSURF]

The F type has a few tricks up it’s sleeve which make it a great alternative to a 911. First is the way it moves down the road and the whole package comes together as an experience that defies the numbers. The second is the road/tyre noise which, for long distance or daily use, allows the F to be so much more. It seems a small point but in the 911 there’s no escaping it, where the F can convert itself into a relaxed and quiet drive. Maybe I’m just getting old 😟

[@martinboulden3540]

@@TIMSANDYSURF I would agree with you on those points ……. I’ve just jumped out of a 911 and into an SL to tour Spain for 3 months - Loving the comfort although the steering is verging on yachting !

@@MrTruth111 the new V8 vantage starts at £124k before options so realistically you be looking at 135k with just a few options that's 40k more than a top of the line F type R

I’m the original owner of a 2015 F Type R. The performance is stunning with incredible exhaust sound. Zero problems

[@childnuk]

When F type first came out, I was wowed. It’s work of art, period. There was nothing quite like it. But the facelift has gone wrong, horribly wrong, much like the BMW G11/G12 facelift. It’s now just another jag, and you can have a four pot engine too, eh!

[@gpzfan5272]

You could get a 4 pot in the old f type as well

Lexus L500 for me I think but yet to drive one or an F type. Love the engine note though

[@ApothecaryTerry]

I'd take the LC500 too. Based on every review I've seen it's easily the best car for the money. It is a much bigger and heavier car though so not entirely comparable. Still, Lexus don't get many cars right but when they do...

I'm glad they didnt try and fit seats in the back.

[@TheEarlofK]

I've never really been convinced about the styling of the F Type, it just doesn't stand out at all, but maybe that's a saving grace if you don't want to be noticed and I think they are solidly put together, which has always been the bugbear of Jaguars since time immemorial, although I still think they're a better pre-owned buy because the market still marks them down for historical reasons.

[@marvinkastler15]

I can't go anywhere with out people telling me they live my car,its gets way noticed I live in a town with 100,000 people I have the only ftype in town,there are 4 c8s

“The gearbox in the jag is as good and quick as in the 911” .... 5 mins later.... “on down shift there can sometimes be a delay”. 😁. PDK is way beyond anything JLR can deliver ....

[@ciseco]

I've just moved from sl63 to ragtop svr and I couldn't tell you how much better the jag is, it's my 2nd ftype and I love it, everyone needs to drive one once in their lives it's pleasure, who cares if the 911 is more capable, it isn't more fun

[@markwilliams5654]

The elephant in the room ...The road tax is too high

[@M135iboost]

...... seriously? Any car over 40k gets luxury car tax which is £500 a year. Who cares? If you’re looking at this car you don’t check the tax.

[@anthonyreed480]

I've got one in white with black rims. My business partner has a 911 GTS. The Porsche is definitely quicker, but the Jag looks *way* better side-by-side. Plus, the Jag feels big and powerful when you put your foot down, and the exhaust note sounds like something between a Mustang and an Aventador: sporty but thick and low. The Porsche feels like a speedy Go-Kart to drive.

[@descarroll2039]

[@leprechaunshelper]

JLR products are very unreliable our local dealer struggles to keep up with the amount of vehicles being returned for repair it certainly opened my eyes to the real truth of JLR products

[@FFE-js2zp]

Its the most reliable sports car period. I didn't use my 2014's 7 year /100K mile bumper to bumper factory warranty. Not once. Meanwhile, Porsche has 2x the historical maintenance cost of second place trainwreck BMW. Porsches are PUTRID cars, and a 700HP F-Type utterly DECIMATES a triple price GT2RS. Lots of videos showing that, even stock vs stock.

[@glennmiller9491]

I tried the F-Type and bought one. Nuff said.

[@maverick4177]

The difference being the 911 is timeless and will very likely increase in value, but the Jaguar will loose 70% of its value in 4 years and nobody will want one

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

Um no. When it looses 70% of its value, everybody will want one. Think about it.

[@pikadkalsarid]

@@bigmacdaddy1234 Who wants jaguar without warranty? :D

[@abacusfencing]

Best value sports GT bar non, at 4years old. Most have done under 20k miles and Jaguar offer an "almost" manufacturers warranty upto 10yr old for around £600/yr. I got the dealer to throw in 2 years, which took some of the sting out of the typical 10% dealer premium. V6 is the sweetspot though. Plenty power for the road but 37mpg on a long run. 25-30mpg local short blast. Feel good factor off the scale.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bazmina]

Nobody wanting one then is why when i get my 1st gen R I can get a 90k car for 40k with just 20k on the clock. Sounds like a good deal to me
