Living With The Jaguar F-Type R!

[@luckyuser43]

I'm actually leaning towards your channel coming from parker's. His clickbait overdramatic overpumped videos is starting to get annoying. Your videos is the way they were when I decided to subscribe to vehiclevirgins. I feel like when you left, you took that awesome stigma with you.

[@pchurch4973]

Being woken up at night would be worth listening to this car

[@rdvideoclips]

Couple of comments. 1) Makes me smile or laugh whenever I drive without my wife in the passenger seat. 2) Disconnect the auto start from its dedicated battery under the trunk floor and never have to switch the stupid thing off again. 3) Dunno, I never thought that the gas mileage was too bad. Just running around Tampa we get between 16 and 18 mpg and I love to run it pretty hard. On freeway drives between Tampa and Miami keeping it around 70 mph it seems to do around 23 mpg. I've been impressed although having this type of car, gas mileage should really be irrelevant. 4) The convertible gives one the full benefit of the exhaust in Dynamic Mode. I love it.

[@blackice214]

Hell yea the past few vids your posting cars in my budget range

[@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77]

I'm driving an XE right now. Coming from a Chevy Cruze, it's practically like I'm in a supercar lol, so much fun to drive. But the F-Type must be absolutely INSANE! Great video man

[@khalidcarrillo1132]

I have an XE-S and while it's the V6 I still think the exhaust sounds great especially compared to a similar BMW or Audi. And you're right, with a German car they drive amazing and everything seems perfect, but once I drove the Jaguar my heart couldn't let go. That's why I bought mine! F-Type maybe one day! Don't know if my car is interesting enough, but I'm in Chicago area and you're always welcome to make a video on it ;) :)

[@135iN55]

The fastest F-Type by far is the RWD version. The AWDs absorb 10% more HP than the RWD and add 300 lbs. The F-Type is the best all around sports car on sale today, and the RWD is shockingly fast at 3.10 to 60 mph, which is its hardest test bcs of traction. 1/4 mile in 10.70.

[@vika0194]

It doesn’t do 0-60 in 3.1.....

[@Blacknighxbox]

Awd is quicker. I got a 672whp jaguar xf and resently bought an f type r awd it makes around 620whp. I race both and the f type is alot quicker off the line all the way to the finish line it puts obout 5 car lenghs on the xf. From a roll or at the track is a different story xf gets off the line quicker than the f type on 17 inch slicks

[@135iN55]

My 2 year review: Best sportscar ever made.

[@fightingcarrot]

would you ever consider the V6 vs the V8?

[@noodletitan9086]

Probably my dream car

[@kevinl6231]

I’m glad I got the convertible because you can hear all the cracks and pops much better. The interior of the coupe is nice and quiet, but with the windows closed, its hard to hear them with the windows up.

[@ox4556]

I have seen them in as low as the 60,000.00. great value.

[@EddieX]

+Ox for RWD earlier cars yes!

[@MatthewGaither]

I enjoyed your video and appreciate your thoughts. I am considering one of these for next year and these types of perspectives are very helpful. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@kgk8010]

Sell the i8 and buy this. Please!

[@EddieX]

+KGK can't sell the i8 lol.

[@kgk8010]

Oh i forgot that its a lease :)

[@sarudedandorm1452]

depreciation...

[@rileyhughes5613]

Fuckin love Jags, and the F-Type S and R are both incredibly underrated cars.

[@kgk8010]

I know right? They are great in every aspect. Sound, Looks, Interior Quality and performance. I wish they had more attention its such a shame. People who buy GT-R's and R8's instead of these are idiots to me.

[@FreakFilmsMC]

reliable ?

[@kgk8010]

New jaguar's are very reliable. They have improved massively over the years.

[@EddieX]

+Riley Hughes they are awesome!!

[@FreakFilmsMC]

KGK the v8 f type is awesome... but it hs 2 seats only :(

[@jh276]

THANK YOU for another great and very honest review. Thank goodness you mentioned the super dated interior (everything except seats)... from gauges to infotainment/Nav screen...super dated. This car has the looks, sound and seats..that's about it. Another thing is reliability issue..it's a 'jag' after all...

[@nicodjulianto1733]

Love the Jags! That V8 sounds always gets me haha! Awesome review Eddie! Are you going to do any Japanese luxury cars?

[@EddieX]

+Nico Djulianto thank you! And yes! Trying to get my hands on a new LC500

[@nicodjulianto1733]

EddieX looking forward to it! 👍🏻

[@F06M6]

hahaha, I wish I went through only a quarter tank in a day.. I get an average of 12MPG in my trucks.. But god, that thing sounds so much better than either my Rover V8, or BMW 4.4 lump

[@rileyhughes5613]

MI6 well yeah, that's bc it IS (significantly) better than both those cars

[@F06M6]

hey.. different category! The Range Rovers aren't supposed to sound like that, they're supposed to be silent but..

[@naimkassira8706]

What do you know about Jaguar reliability over time, Eddie?

[@Erowens98]

Most common issues are electrical. But it's about as reliable as you'd expect of a modern cars. After a couple years it'll start having issues. But it's not nearly as bad as something like a mclaren for example. I'd say it's on par or slightly more reliable than most equivalent german cars. The v6 being more reliable than the v8, simple because it has less power to deal with.

[@execatty]

I've had three xkrs and an ftype r.. For last 12 years.. I've never had it in the shop.. Don't believe the hype

[@selecta2700]

I'm 6'3" and I fit very comfortably in my f type R

[@EddieX]

My biggest complaint is the headrest. It's like in between my shoulder blades. Otherwise it's not bad. I've spent a couple hours in one on road trips, but there are more spacious cars in the segment

[@jabiscaro]

I recognize that town, driving down outer drive, right in my backyard, nice!! I legit think I saw you a week or so ago.

[@colbyperry3325]

I’ve never dealt a turn signal or wiper stalk that makes me think man this is fuckin nice... it’s an accessory stalk. They are pretty much all the same except for some are slightly harder or easier to flick

[@jeannorman3057]

I have owned 5 Corvettes and loved them all. My 17 R is agreat car that will not disappoint. Plent

[@samonellauniversity1182]

Jaguar is back!

[@EddieX]

+Dolan Danger yep!! And they are building some awesome cars

[@ftlaud911]

Nice cars. Love the blue color ones. They sound amazing. Great GT cruiser. Not my cup of tea (british) pun.

[@135iN55]

You pointed out the main problem with the coupe, when you said you put the windows down to hear it. As a convertible owner, I can tell you that top up/down is night day. Coupe owners have no idea what the car sounds like. Windows up/down makes no real difference. Second, the V8 gets 31 mpg on the hwy cruising in 8th which is geared for 325 mph at redline. Thats not good enough for a 3 sec car? There are good looks and bad looks. Getting looks in the i8 is like getting looks when you leave your fly open.

[@luvmesomeu]

Really informative as I’m deciding between an F-Type V8R and the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (992) and it has clearly become a heart vs. mind tension. Having driven both, the F-Type V8R seems more fun to drive over the business-like 992...but the latter holds its value. Does the F-Type’s value sink like a stone? Appreciate your perspective...

[@StefRush]

I love my 2015 F-Type R

[@StefRush]

2015 is last year the F-Type R is a GT car because it rear drive only.

[@samcas707]

Best car I’ve owned to date, but I could still buy the rwd for 2016 here in Aus. IMO the rwd suits the muscle car character more than awd, having the rear end move around so easily under throttle given the instant torque of the belt driven charger just adds another element to the driving experience - got out of an r35 and haven’t looked back

[@purrz172]

Totally agree Sam. I also live in Aus and had the choice of RWD or AWD. And no way was I going to diminish what is one of the best things about the R. That immense grunt that comes from the rear wheels. There are plenty of systems in the RWD to accommodate for the sideways movement that ensues. Granted the weather conditions where I live are incredibly favourable with no ice, snow or even rain, most days being an issue. So AWD was a moot point really. The other problem I have with the AWD is that it totally ruins the bonnet design. I thing the stand alone power bulge with the original vents of the RWD is far more aesthetically pleasing than the AWD. Not to mention honouring the E-Type's design more faithfully.

[@jasonng6771]

Hey Eddie, do you think the F-Type SVR is worth the slight upgrades from the R or do you think the R is better value?

[@execatty]

Had both. Idont like the wing.. Takes away from the beauty of the car.. 550hp. Plenty... Getting my second this week

[@shockwave1xD]

Just an idea: Why not put a mic near the exhaust?

[@EddieX]

+shockwave1 definitely a good idea

[@kenwilliamsvoice]

Tall? You look very small. How tall? Drove to Chicago from where? Fuel? What is the mpg?

[@EddieX]

Lol. I'm 6'3". Chicago from Michigan.

[@MaxSpeedMike]

Damn. Can't wait to pick up my SVR

[@EddieX]

+MaxSpeed ooh that'll be awesome!

[@MaxSpeedMike]

EddieX :D you'll have to review it

[@vika0194]

MaxSpeed not even one video of it on your channel. Did you buy it

[@beastleontv7595]

I CANT WAIT TO BUY THIS DAMN CARRRRRRRRR 1 more FUCKING YEAR yes im yelling lol

[@wolfman2926]

So would you rather have this or Audi R8🏁🏁

[@135iN55]

The Jag is a lot faster than an R8/Huracan. 50% more torque.

[@TheNTGamez]

More like a bridge then a tunnel

[@mrla6240]

lol ya that was not a tunnel

[@execatty]

I wake my neighbors up every night at 1045 to go to gym.. My bad... 🤒.. So worth it

[@EddieX]

Hahahaha

[@execatty]

👍 😀

[@JakobKaizen]

Considering getting the f type, but I´m 206cm/6´9 and understand that if I by any means wanna fit in this car on a daily I´ll have to get really thin carbon seats mounted directly to the floor in order to actually fit in this car. How tall are you and what do you think of my thoughts above? Doable considering my height? Cheers man!

[@vika0194]

Go to a dealer and sit in one. The 2019-2020 have slimmer seats and more space. But with 2014-2017 models you are pretty screwed

[@ashishpatel350]

what was it like to live with parker?

[@DanielSadjadian]

Beautiful car!

[@EddieX]

+Daniel Sadjadian agrees

[@7viewerlogic670]

AWD is a big factor in why fuel mileage is bad. Buy a seperate set of snow tires+rims instead of AWD.

[@SinCityDarkKnight]

mike anderson dude, the rwd S 2014/15 is really not drivable. I enjoyed my day with it, but you need to babysit the back end to a stupid degree. Made me literally miss my boxster. I wouldn't recommend it..Anyway, who cares, if you're buying this vehicle who cares on the gas $. Highway can get you 28-30 mpg real world!

[@aesho46]

What’s the MPG for this F type R. Eager to see how it compares to my hellcat charger when it comes to gas mileage. Or I should ask what MPG where you getting?

[@EddieX]

+Mr ChaosTech uh, not very high lol. Not sure the exact number

[@vnitto]

I wish my parents got me a F Type R while i was in school. :(

[@ZDY66666]

Strange, I was comparing, my now purchased Cayman GTS, driving back to back with a Jaguar v8, and I found it lacking in sound department in comparison. I think it was mostly because Despite it’s loud crackles (the Cayman also has them), but the pitch wasn’t very tasteful for my subjective view. It felt less exhilarating (but maybe that’s because of cayman’s mid engine chassis and you can feel the engine move in your seat)

[@seank2793]

Can you tell me where i can get this 2016 f type r for good price?

[@JKnationTV]

Does it pull the putangs tho

[@EddieX]

+JKnationTV maybe

[@DanielSadjadian]

Easily one of the best sounding V8s.

[@EddieX]

+Daniel Sadjadian it's amazing

[@quanronghu4900]

Parker number 2?

[@danielallocca7770]

EddieX this is like a Z06 with awd. I have a Jaguar XF 5.0 supercharged and I am seriously considering this as a sports car replacement for my 370Z

[@JohnDoe-pz5fl]

What is better this or a r8 v10

[@Minto107]

John Doe if u want power go for V10 that's easy lol

[@RxSwolldier]

If you got the dough the r8 it also crackles and pops

[@renaldonelson970]

I want one

[@mikejohnston3263]

2018 AMG GTS or The Jag?!

[@EddieX]

Going to have to say GTS

[@Luka23567]

Definitely the AMG GT

[@viscayaconstruccion8545]

How tall are you man

[@EddieX]

6'3"

[@creangapaul6593]

The valve control button is pointless. There is absolutely no difference between the 2 modes

[@shengyuanliu9866]

Now get a used one around $75000 is a really good deal!

[@EddieX]

+SHENGYUAN LIU definitely!!

[@Minto107]

You can get it even cheaper

[@shengyuanliu9866]

Right...Some of the 2015 models with RWD are even around $65k sth.

[@shengyuanliu9866]

Lol you replied! Like your video as always good job.

[@RxSwolldier]

Every mustang owner should look up to this car: noise

[@thatelfdoesit]

Wtf littlerially my car 🙌 red interior

[@skyisdlimit6125]

That’s a good looking car chow mein

[@mrla6240]

what about trunk space? not very practical eh? or is it?

[@EddieX]

+Mr La I literally talk about that in the video lol

[@Jacobk66]

I knew a ton of people in college that could afford $100k cars? 😕

[@Braglemaster123]

Redo the video with the exhaust sound “

[@PaulSMilligan]

Hmm

[@EddieX]

You need one Paul

[@freepadz6241]

Bit of a chi-fro goin on there Eddie. TIme to hit the barber. Great video as always.

[@kanob6440]

I like the xkrs better. Looks more exotic

[@vika0194]

kano b not at all.

[@Tracid320si]

Another Thing to Complain: You cant drive fast like here in Germany :p No Speedlimit ftw :D

[@Ezero8]

My goal is to buy a F-Type V6 S one day. The R is awesome but overkill IMO.

[@sichere]

The V6 is a poor compromise as it's basically the same engine as the V8 but is nearly as heavy even with 2 pots removed. The RWD V8 is the one to go for.

[@sichere]

@Najat Nasser The RWD is much more fun to drive.

[@Braglemaster123]

We hear 👂 no exhaust 👎👎

[@aaronhussain3873]

This is perhaps one of only few proper Jags left, the IPace thing is bloody stupid, the F Pace is for Chelsea wives, the E Pace is also bloody stupid, and there's only 2 cars in the range which are offered with the 5.0 litre supercharged V8! (Excluding the limited edition project 8). Nevertheless, Jaguar has the time to produce some hideous diesel sh*tboxes like the E Pace, yet they don't offer a V8 in the XF??? Like WTF

[@Braglemaster123]

Can’t hear 👂 the cool 😎 sound “ 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@aceespinosa4757]

First

[@EddieX]

+Ace Espinosa congrats lol
