Why You Should Buy a Jaguar F-Type!

[@tonyob1864]

I've had mine two years and every drive still feels like an event. I bought the P300 mainly because it's 52 kg lighter (over the front axel) and you don't need to be a race engineer to know that this has a very positive effect on ride and handling. The only downside I've found with this model is it really lacks the aural drama of the bigger engined F-Types, but I can live with that. In September I drove from the North of England to the French Riviera and back and averaged 38.2 MPG and my VED is now £190 - the same as my wife's three cylinder MINI Cooper. Obviously, I didn't buy it to save money (for me a dream car), but it does sweeten the ownership experience. C-Type

Bro, keep up the good work, I've just picked up mine and absolutely love it. Your vids are just what I like In helping me understand mine. It brings a huge smile to my face every single time I get in it. Enjoying what you say and they way you put it. Keep going 💪

[@herbh9348]

Got my Ftype a month ago. I couldn't be happier. There are some good buys out there, don't stress on cost of repairs on any model 2016 or newer, they run fine. If the previous owner was doing regular maintenance, it should be fine. Of course, have it checked out by certified Jaguar mechanic to get the warm fuzzy that there's no issues. 😊

[@tootalltodrive]

Absolutely, pleased to hear you are enjoying the car!

[@thekb36]

P300 owner for 6 months and loving it. The only thing that's missing from mine is more noise! But as a daily not horrendous running costs and still had a blast this summer round the NC500. To me, the F Type is a great blend of GT and Sports car no matter what engine you have.

[@tootalltodrive]

@@thekb36 completely agree, did film this but got distracted mid sentence so cut it out 😂 Yeah I think the V6 would return a similar mpg on the same drive though but give you the noise 😏

[@TimEvans-y5z]

I have 2013 3 litre V6 convertible in Italian Racing Red. Absolutely the best car ever. Economical enough for me and the noise. Wow.

C type. Great review ! Love the car. I’ve had a 6 yr old V8R for more than 4 yrs. Exhaust never muted. It is quite special - it’s visceral !! Has a real dominance in looks and sound over most other cars. Had nothing but positive comments about it from complete strangers when I’m at the petrol station or parked up. Never owned a car before that had me turn around and look at it after I parked 😀🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tootalltodrive]

Appreciate the support! Completely agree, it stands out!

[@JWL-UK]

Top tip, bum-first is the only way into a sports car and an important sign of automotive etiquette. Knocking your heels to clear the shoes off some dirt is optional but I do it all the time 😂 I'm 6ft 2 (188cm) and I've adopted this entry technique ever since I bought a TT years ago and continue with the F-type. For me it's all about the noise and looks plus the tactile interior with nice clicking noises. Besides, mine being one of 188 manual transmission examples made for the UK market, it's even more special, IMO. New camera is good. CType

[@madcarsnz]

Absolutely love my f type the dilemma to change is there but I only find myself looking at another f type.. I have a 400 sport currently, have owned a few Porsche cayman/ Boxster and for me I feel the F type is just such a sweet spot in the sports car line up, one that I don’t think any other brand really does. They are so comfortable, theatrical and are a true pleasure to drive.

[@tootalltodrive]

Absolutely, if you move you move away from the all-rounder and have to compromise on something. Makes it a difficult choice.

[@tomr_101]

Had mine for 6 months. They're good at just about everything and get a lot of positive comments. Can see why a lot of owners absolutely love them. Unfortunately they're also not really excellent at anything - so I'll be parting with mine shortly!

[@tootalltodrive]

Tell me more, what will you be replacing it with?

@@tootalltodrive Back to Germany (having owned several performance BMWs), but this time to Porsche for a 718 Cayman. Admittedly a more expensive car than the FType, but also a considerably more tactile, involving and all-round excellent driving experience. I'll miss the noise though!

@ Just the 2.0litre Cayman? Driving experience sure, but giving up a lot else surely not a simple trade?

[@tomr_101]

@@tootalltodrive I'll be getting a GTS, but I expect even the S would also be a superior drive. The FType is a great GT car, but its weight, size, mid-level steering and brakes mean it doesn't compare to the Cayman as a sports car.

@ 2.5 or 4.0? Fairs, maybe I should test drive a GTS…

[@jimso771]

Better with the XK convertible if you’re into a more comfortable ride, the F type is much firmer suspension so not so good for longer distances.

[@tootalltodrive]

Firmer sure, but it’s by no means a hard ride. I could drive round the world in this without issues haha.

[@N0T45ale]

Also reiterating MPG. Driving on wet mode for an hour will get you 43MPG!! 😮 tested many times.

[@tootalltodrive]

Maybe I will sack off the golf with mpg figures like that!

[@TIMSANDYSURF]

In reality Ferrari and Porsche are old men brands too (how often do you see a 25-30 year old in either? It’s probably more about price and cost of ownership than image. The F type provides so much style and performance is hard to know what to replace it with. The Evora is great and Lotus have a younger image but they’re still pricey! There’s some well priced Aston vantage now (old shape) but you would need deeper pockets than for the F type.

[@tootalltodrive]

Aston Martin would really frustrate my dad because he tells me how unreliable they are, so I feel that would be a great reason to buy one 😂

[@xDAAAZEx]

Going between this, M2, M2C, M4 and Supra. The F-Type just seems to stand out of those!

[@tootalltodrive]

The M4 is probably the stranger in amongst those decisions. The F-Type is the most special but the M2 / M2C do have a great review too. I’ll be biased on that choice though, haha!

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@tootalltodrive I looked at F Type's a year ago, when I decided to go back to a 2 door coupe (4 years in an M140i). I wanted a Cayman ideally but they were outside my budget for the engine size and spec I required. The F Type was a nice looking car, but reliability issues with the V6, lack of rear seats and over all space/practicality, and the naff interior all put me off. The OG M2 ticked all the boxes, and was the best handling/steering. plus had a large boot, rear seats, and no real reliability concerns. After a year with it, I am more than happy, it's a fantastic car. The G87 is an amazing car, much better than any F Type in every way, the only thing that could sway a buyer towards the Jag is the exterior styling, which is a personal preference. How you could even think about comparing a RWD, 6 cylinder, sports coupe to an AWD hatch, is ridiculous quite frankly.

[@tootalltodrive]

@ A G87 is closer to a VW Golf than a Cayman, F-Type, Emira, etc. It sits high on the road for a sports car, there is no compromise in the road quality, like my VW Golf. There is nothing that tells you you are in something special personally. Each to their own, but I’d rather cycle than have a G87 😂

[@DjNikGnashers]

@@tootalltodrive Completely disagree. A G87 M2 is a fantastic handling, RWD, sporty coupe. Your 'opinion' is obviously based on some daft fanboy hatred of BMW's, and not actually based on reality. You drive a Golf, and you admit you have not driven an M2. That says everything I need to know. The interior of the G87 M2 is fantastic, everything is very high quality (unlike your Golf), it is levels above for chassis dynamics, cornering and handling, which is why the ride is not as comfy, newsflash it's a sports car. The seats are fantastic, the looks are subjective to the viewer but fk me, if you prefer a Golf over a sporty 2 door coupe, then I really have no words to describe how your opinion of sporty coupes should not be taken as anything other than fanboyism. I worked in the motor trade for many years, drove everything you could imagine, and owned dozens of cars. I'd say the Golf is an average hatch, no better or worse than dozens of other clones of hatchbacks, nothing stands out, it doesn't do anything particularly better than any other boring hatch, but if that is what a buyer is looking for, great. An M2 is a special thing, not just levels above a Golf, but in another league.
