MY 2021 JAGUAR F-PACE - 10 Things I Like And Dislike About It

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

Two gripes that will deter me from a car: 1. Unable to permanently disable start/stop. 2. Tyre inflation kit instead of a real spare wheel, full size preferably but space saver will suffice. Thanks for a great video.

[@MK-ly3gk]

90% of modern cars use the kit instead of a spare. As you get alot more boot space thx to it. The kit most of the time gets you to shop to get a wheel anyways.

[@Sly_Wolf_1]

@@MK-ly3gk 😂 sorry but how do you get more boot space ? The tyre well is still there but on most cars it is filled with foam lining filled with tyre inflation equipment and now an amp or sub. If there is additional space it's minimal. Now with hybrids and full ev that "additional" space is filled with a battery and those cars actual have less boot space than their petrol counterparts, and a tyre inflation kit is useless when a protruding manhole cover tears the sidewall of your tyre and/or smashes a limp out of your alloy. One of my cars didn't come with a spare or space saver. The tyre well was filled with a foam mould, puncture repair/inflator and warning triangle. Didn't gain any space. Removed it dropped in a spare and jack and still have the same space as before.

[@Lukey-jy4ez]

If the space is there, you could put a spear wheel in there

[@naveed_kadechur3986]

It looks this good, drives this good, handling is brilliant, this suv is soo good that you can almost forgive all of its flaws

[@Mattscarchannel]

It certainly is an amazing car. Thanks for watching!

[@cvillalobos27]

My OCD is big enough so I can notice half a degree difference in the climate on my VW, so I do find it useful. Great video. Thanks

[@MK-ly3gk]

No you don't. You think you do.

[@montarakid1943]

I am looking into purchasing one of these and I appreciate hearing what you didn't like much about it as much as what you did. I can get the dealer to tell me how great it is. A little more difficult to find out what isn't quite so good. Thanks again!

[@richardcarnaby3398]

Few of your dislikes are a bit petty, stitching on the gear shift . Temperature.5 ! None of the dislikes would bother me at all. Lovely car

[@jamesfoster2850]

This was very useful. I am looking at a new F-Pace at the moment, but have noticed that some options have disappeared - you can't seem to get surround cameras or 4 zone climate control anymore on any spec, however these are available on the XF. Not really a deal breaker, but if you are buying a £60k I feel I am having to compromise as these options are available on other marques. Not sure why they have done this, but put it down to the fact production is winding down and they are using up supplies of components.

[@johanlittorin2765]

The empty space for a third button is for opening exhaust valves in cars with sport exhaust, like the SVR. But I do agree with you. There should be an easy access button for turning for autostop. Espacially since it is something that brakes on Jaguars and owners end up with a car that doesn't start.

[@666DW]

I did consider the F-Pace R-Dynamic HSE when searching for my new car but the online configurator options were so numerous and confusing. I agree completely with your ‘likes and dislikes’. However, one quite dislike of mine is the centre screen which appears to have been a design afterthought. It would have looked and should of been incorporated into the centre cockpit.

[@yoof01]

Test drove the 2021 SVR recently - WOW!! Amazing car compared to my 18 plate V6 petrol, they've worked hard!

[@MostlySolo1]

Please correct me 1. 3D camra doesn't come standard. It comes part of an pack called "Park assist pack" 2. You've got the extended leather which is £1500. 3. You've got the sliding sunroof with is £1600 option. I enjoyed video

[@vman143]

In 2021 f pace s tge camera is standard, they changed for 2022. Made it as a seperate package.

[@prouserprouser9646]

I wish Jag would make a opportunity to change the dash clock faces like you can on your smartwatch. ! Now that would be really cool!

[@MK-ly3gk]

Lol.. Just get a electric car. Jags are about class. Not about clown business.

[@fragglerock689]

Excellent video. I absolutely love my 2019 R Sport. 296 HP 4 cylinder. I’ve always disliked the fact that they don’t allow you to permanently shut off the auto on off feature, but I think all manufacturers do that because they want you to use it to conserve gas, I suppose. Personally, I like that it switches from dynamic back to regular comfort mode every time, I only like it in dynamic mode if I’m driving as such otherwise I think it holds the gear and RPMs too long every time for me and I don’t think it’s good for the motor to ride like that all the time. Everyone who gets in my car compliments, my suede headliner because I think Jaguar is the only one who has it

[@ericstorey1864]

I must be old but many drivers seem to like the front of the car look “intimidating”, I’ve never felt intimidated by any vehicle whatsoever.

[@BigBossBallSoHard]

It's intimidating when you're at a stop light sitting in an old pos vehicle and you see this bad boy pull up next to you. That's what he means

[@worldofrandometry6912]

Not even when you see that idiot in the BMW or Audi fill your rear view mirror? lol

[@MK-ly3gk]

It's not literally intimidating.. It's an adjective to describe the look.

[@MrVaibhav2625]

Looked like he was trying to hard to dislike this beast

[@scwong6349]

Thanks for the video. Forced on by default start/stop is just annoying on any cars.

[@bben5879]

the blanked out button below the drive control selector is then used as the EV Mode for the PHEV F-Pace's and is illuminated on use - you can see it slightly if the light is right in the cabin on diesel and petrol cars too

Nice job. Your 10 things not liked was evocative and rather funny, especially listening to you loose your mind over the 'horrid' little shifter! Well done.

[@JDere]

Nice video. I agree with all the dislikes you presented. I would rate the seats as uncomfortable on a long drive. We went to visit our Granddaughter in college about 100 miles away. We got stuck in traffic and it took nearly two hours to get there. It was the same during the return trip. There were four of us, with two in the captain's seats on the second row. The thin seats were so uncomfortable we all experienced neck and back aches after returning home. I traded the F-Pace in within a week. The Lexus RX350L is no fun driving machine, but the seats are much more comfortable.

[@SaltyAntelope63]

The 0.5 degree increments are because of Celsius. If you switched to Fahrenheit they'd go up/down by 1. All cars do this.

[@matthewjones255]

Same with many home thermostats, eg Nest. They generally use 0.5°C increments.

[@oph1066]

Good video, just for a bit of context a lot of the issue you have with systems are exactly the same in my x3 (auto hold, stop-start drive mode - all rest each time) just do you don't feel alone

[@richarddyasonihc]

It looks rather good overall, however, I have an XJ351 Portfolio, with the same engine & power. I find it strange that your Fpace lacks many of the luxury items, mine has. It’s a Portfolio model, with a few personalised specs. I.miss the wood capped transmission lever & wood steering wheel, but it certainly has the expected space, grace & pace in spadefuls. The middle armrest would no doubt suit you as it does me (6’1”), mine is eight years old now with 45k on the clock. I would really appreciate the screen on your Fpace, and the reversing camera makes mine look rather primitive by comparison. I do have the suede headliner & two sunroofs - same as yours, however, The seats do massage, there is still a lot of wood surrounding you, and as well as all that leather and stitching, colour matching piping around the seats { an absolutely mind-blowing sound system. There are numerous other little extras, I think I will be keeping this car for some time - I am over 70, and friends keep telling me I should no longer be a petrol head< but the Jag sure delivers in every respect

[@Mladen88zrenjanin]

Portfolio is highest spec of equipment that you have in your car sir. Of course his car is lack of options comparing to xj.

[@waynejohnson6102]

I have a 2019 Mazda CX-5 Signature Edition, I love that car... but looking for something more, and this car is very close to my next selection. What a nice vehicle.

[@MrNeo562]

If you switch to “Sport” mode, does it turn off the “start/stop” feature? I have a Toyota that does that. Just curious is all.

[@menifo4334]

I'm considering of putting an order on this car beginning of this summer but I haven't really decided on which engine to go for. Could you please give us some figures as to the real time consumption of this engine?

[@paultata8178]

On the paper i think the d200 is good, not to expensive and if I remember around 6l/100

[@Macwickw]

They are currently discontinuing the 6 cylinder model and only having the 4 and 8 cylinder models.

[@mohammedrahman4627]

Question 🙋🏽‍♂️ - when taking off from the auto hold, is there any judder at low speeds? In slow moving traffic for example, thanks!

[@Mattscarchannel]

They do, black pack required I think. Thanks for watching!

[@sparkmeister4706]

I disagree on climate temps. I have mine set to 20.5

[@danielfishlock1069]

I tried my heated steering wheel button last night after seeing your video. It’s the same, doesn’t work every press, on or off, so now it’s annoying me. Did you get yours sorted and if so what was the fix? Thanks,

[@MK-ly3gk]

Fix is to press it properly, like a real button. Wish car manufacturers did use real buttons tho.

[@suramyathakkar]

You can change the custom button on the steering wheel to turn off the auto starat/stop

[@darkwoodstudio]

Great video again.. tnx! I totaly agree with you. But I still love this JAG. JLR will and have to watch this too.. I hope so! Come on JAG! 😍🤙🏼

[@midlandgeordie]

Dislikes seem a bit minor,generally a huge improvement in interior quality and new engines,especially PHEV Considering one..

[@Mattscarchannel]

It certainly is minor but for anyone spending this level of money on a car they may actually be quite important factors in decision making. Thanks for watching!

[@colinmawdsley1492]

1 minor niggle I have is the silver trim round the gear selector. Get the sun in the wrong place and you know about it. 22my D200 R Dynamic SE

[@johnmcguire539]

The heated steering wheel is deliberately made to press twice because you would be permanently putting it on accidentally!!!

[@TheXsheeple]

I would like one with a sunroof that doesn't leak water into the passenger footwell, in heavy rain water would run from the from the left A pillar trim joint, turned out to be poor roof sealing.

[@richardgillatt451]

Good video. Do the seatbelts adjust? I have had one for two months and not yet found a comfortable seat position. Help would be appreciated - the subject of a video?

[@mickyeverton]

Many Thanks, an extremely good looking car, I'm not a fan of roof rails & they seem not to have included them in the new F PACE which in my opinion is a good move!! Peace From London. 👍👍

Another weird anomaly are the colours. My original F Pace was B.R Green - came as standard. Now on the new model, Jaguar ask you for over £800 for the same colour.

[@danielfishlock1069]

Matt my R Dynamic HSE has the suede/ alcantara headlining, so guess they are using it to distinguish between model trim. 👍🏻

now i can't make a choice between the range rover velar and the jaguar f pace 2021

[@jimmyyoung163]

I must say your dislike some of them are really irrelevant. I just went for test drive today, let me tell you something I don't like. 1. Touch screen got lag when you are on navigation(move the map or max or min the map) 2. I tried 2 vehicles, one of them has huge vibration from exhaust especially old start. 3. The breaks on the car are too soft, you should be able to stop if you could drive fast. 4. Didn't find ambient lights on the car 5. bucket seat is a bit too hard to sit, the other seat didn't wrap you very well. If you turn too quick, passenger might slide out of seat.

[@jozef3347]

Great video mate as I'm thinking to buy one of them with same engine 300D and same trim... I still think that screen is amazing... Great work from Jag!!! 👌👌👌

[@MrZirvania]

My XE remembers the drive mode last used, my XF doesn't. It is annoying!
