Still such a timeless design. Jaguar has always made some of the best looking sportscars in the world. Will miss this car.
The F-Type is a look back car, when I park mine I look back at it as I walk away.
I dunno, the XJS was plug ugly..
@@kilnaleck I had a 1984 XJ-S, I wouldn't describe it as ugly, women loved it, so there's that. Women also love my F-Type. If you want to talk about ugly the latest BMWs will fill the bill.
@@3ducs I love when people pretend to have cars.
@@Sureyoudid Who are you talking about? In my 77 years I've had a few interesting cars, never bought new though. The F-Type will no doubt be my apex car.
The F-type is definitely one of the most underrated sportscars. It doesn't deserve to be so forgotten
Agree 100%
Swamped by way to many SUV's like a lot of good cars have been.
True. However, they're more than likely to build a very similar EV equivalent. I don't think they'll abandon making sportscars, given how famous they are for their sports and GT cars of old.
But, this will definitely be missed. 🙁
@@TD1237 No EV will duplicate the sound of those supercharged V-8s and V-6s. This past spring, when I learned that Jaguar was going EV, I started looking for a used F-Type. I found a 3.0 S manual transmission coupe 2,000 miles from my house and bought it. Only 380HP but way more than I need in the foothills of the White Mountains of New Hampshire, USA. A beautiful car, triple black, and the sound in loud mode is wonderful. Manual F-Types are very rare, only made in 2016 and 2017, very few people bought them.
They're holding value pretty well tbh. Not quite Porsche level, but they haven't tanked anywhere near as much as something like the old SLK55 or BMW Z4.
I remember seeing the F-Type with Tim Hiddleston commercial, such a very memorable car, but it sorta ran under the radar for the past 7-8 years since in launched. Now that it's going to go away, I definitely will miss it.
Wasn't that featured in Top Gear?
@@Meow-ee9zo Jag had commercials with Tom in it.
@@AuldeyST yes but i remember that they showed it when he was celebrity in a reasonably pricer car
Such an underrated car and sad to see it going. The way I always saw this car was like a gentlemen's car, a competitor to the Carrera but with more soul and personality. Shame a lot of people follow their head and not their hearts when buying a sportscar. I followed my heart, I drive the V6s, the best sounding V6 on the market.
My 3.0 S Coupe has a manual transmission, a very good car.
That v6 f-type does sound pretty awesome. I would still go with a v8, which has a completely different sound obviously that is so different it is almost not comparable, but hot damn that v6 sounds remarkable. It definitely blows most v6s out of the water for sound. Of that there is no doubt. These modern day Porsches are generally such a let down for sound. Incredible cars, don’t get me wrong, but F-types definitely bring more in the sound department. Undeniably.
@@dlj1285 The V8 is not available with a manual transmission, and I wanted that. The V6 cars are also mechanically simpler, a bit lighter and better balanced. The LSD is purely mechanical, no computer controlled clutch packs. There is less to go wrong with the V6 cars. But if ultimate performance is the goal the V8 has it in spades.
As for sound, the pre-particulate filter cars are so much better than the newer ones, they don't have that farty sound the one in the video has.
@@3ducs This video has absolutely horrible sound, which is shocking for Auto Trader. It is not a good representation at all. Sounds pretty great to me in other videos, and in person. Many say it is as good as the first gen car if fuse 15 is pulled.
I understand your desire for a manual. That is the only thing I wish the 2024 R I just bought could have had. Can’t have everything I guess, and it’s not a deal breaker for me at the end of the day. The new gen car is supposed to have better handling when compared to the first gen car. The rear knuckles and other bit were revised for superior handling.
The V8 is pretty solid. Just gotta keep an eye on a few bits around the engine from what I gather, and this is less of a problem on the new gen car as a result of revised parts.
That v6, excellent choice. A small part of me does find it more exhilarating sound wise than the v8. That’s how standout that v6 is.
@@dlj1285 Congratulations on the new car! A used car is all that was affordable to me, but it is a good one, 29,000 miles and in great shape when I bought it. A gamble, it was 2,000 miles from me, I had never so much as sat in an F-Type nor could I remember even seeing one in the flesh in the mostly rural area where I live. But it's all turned out well, I enjoy the car and will keep it into my dotage, which at 77, won't be all that long.
It's very sad to see the 5.0 V8 Supercharged engine go, the power delivery and the sound make it so sweet to drive. At least it had a good run, 10+ years in production 👍
I think it'd be 15 years now, there's XKRs and XFRs on 58 plates - impressive really!
@@TekerzDesign 58 plates?
@@vladislavdimitrov4646 Cars registered September 2008 in the UK
My Range Rover Sport L320 only has 60k miles on it and every mile I put on it I cringe a little. Nothing like the 5.0 SC will ever be made again. So sad. In a few years I will be fondly reminiscing about timing chain guides.
A beautiful car in all its guises. As the owner of an older V6s, I shed a tear at the passing of a great object of automotive design (kudos to Mr Ian Callum) Who cares about the dated cockpit?! I’m too busy looking through the windscreen, and listening to the symphonic exhaust notes.
I recently bought a 3.0 S, a 2016 manual transmission Coupe, triple black. I love the analogue instruments, I don't like screens. And the glorious exhaust sounds are even better with a manual transmission.
Even the cockpit LOOKs okay. I think it could be more luxurious but that is it
Should have bought the v8
@@stuarttownson5055 If you want a manual transmission, and I did, the V6 is the only option.
@@stuarttownson5055 Both will be remembered as fantastic sounding engines! Maybe one day I will be able to afford a first generation SVR, with a V8 but I feel lucky to be able to drive what I do with the V6. Every mile brings a smile…!
I recently bought a 2016 3.0 S manual transmission Coupe, triple black. I'd heard that Jaguar was going EV, I will never get an EV car, at 77yo I'll never have to. With the exhaust on loud mode and a manual transmission that V6 howl is bliss. 380HP is quite sufficient in the foothills of the New Hampshire White Mountains where I live.
Ah, a man of culture I see 😊
Salute sir
I got the FPace 2017 V6 Supercharged so same engine. Nearly 7 yrs later, I absolutely still love it.
@@ToBeOrNotToBeThatIsTheQuestion F-type ❤
F-pace smh
@zsb707 Not at all. I've driven the FType many times. FPace feels like driving a much smaller and nimble car, not like a big boat like Range Rover. Can't carry the family in the FType either which I would have bought instead if it was just me and the wife. Amonite grey, black roof, privacy glass, black 22 inch alloys with red brake callipers, and red/black interior. It soundss good too although you have to push it a bit harder to get the pops and bangs when in sport and dynamic mode.
Many cars including the Ferrari Roma, Masterati MC 12, even some Astons that follow design cues of the Ftype. The sincerest form of flattery is imitation and in that regard the F type's design is a testament to it's beauty and timelessness. It's one of those cars that possess existential value.
Much MUCH sexier than these cars.
The E-Type was on production for 13 years from 1961 to 1974. It's probably Jaguar's most well known car. Ever.
And this F-Types been in production for 10 years. While not as well known or loved as the E-Type, it's definitely a great car too. And why do Jaguar V8's sound so angry? 8-))...
So RIP Jaguar *_"Type"_* engined sports cars. You will not be forgotten 8-))...
I think jaguars always have made sounds since the xk120 xj220 , xjrs, the list is has its perks ! unsilenced the xjs v12 talks as well ...not sure if it's anger or determination lol but I sure miss the passion, spirit 😮
Good to see and hear you Rory. Always liked the F-type, such a gorgeous and underrated sportscar... Best Jag ever ? Great car❤
Yeah, the F-Type really is underrated and gorgeous. For me though, the older XK is probably my favourite Jaguar.
@@TD1237 nice choice👍👍
@@mys0076 Thanks. 😄
XK or xk8 like mine ?
Absolutely love mine, feels special every time you drive it...will definitely be holding onto it
Reliability?
Me to 2017 v8 AWD with ceramics
Convertible black on black
MEOW 🔥
@@logical_lb3059had mine over a year only thing needed doing was catalytic converter
That was covered on warranty so cost me nothing
Jaguar replaced it no issues
@@logical_lb3059 This is my 2nd F-Type and had no issues at all with my last one. Only issues were related to fit and finish, and a small rattle noise in the passenger door. As long as you keep up with maintenance they're perfectly fine. I wouldn't follow Jags intervals (they say 1yr or every 16k miles for an oil change) I would do it every 5k..oil is cheap enough and it's easy enough to do
You're a lucky man to be able to afford one - cherish it because it's a timeless classic just like the E-TYPE.
One of the most beautiful cars ever made 😍
Love the F Type sound. A neighbour has one and you always hear it coming and going.
I'm keeping my 16 FTR convertible until the wheels fall off. The most engaging and exciting luxury car I've owned. My old Evo X was just as engaging, but it is about as comfortable as falling down a long set of stairs. Plus, you're talking about the car that single-handedly revived the pop n' bang exhaust notes. There are tons of imitators out there today, but I still find none that can do it as classy as Jag's. The original pre-facelift design I think will age well too, but obviously it's subjective.
Absolutely stunningly car, i remember when i first saw the R, went past me, sounded like a gatling gun, the whine and the crackles. I happy to say i own an xfr because of it. The engine is a masterpiece.
Sorry but I just had to do it.
Jaguar have always nailed the superchargers in their V8s. I have 2005 XKR with a 4.2 V8. Sounds awesome and drives like a predator if you want it too.
Yes the fuel economy isnt great but thats not what these cars are about.
I love❤ your presentation on every episode. Captivating. Very interesting. Such fulfilling reviews. 🇬🇧
I remember when the F type was released in 2013. Fell in love with immediately and never fell out. I don't think there is a car in the past 10 years that has sounded so good and had such personality. Maybe the Lambo Huracan. But that F-Type v8 engine, especially from the original, was just something so special; reminiscent of old muscle cars. It is my favorite car of all time. I'm sad to see it being pushed out for electrics but I understand why.
Still remember your coventry to switzerland drive for the geneva auto show… now that im studying in Coventry this car will always feel special❤
Finally a real car review! since the old school top dear and donut not a signal car review guy has turned up well. Good job bro!
The F-Type is a car that will only appreciate as it is discontinued. It's amazing styling looks great today, and will look even better in 50 years when these things become rare. I bought it's cousin, a 2017 Jaguar XE35t AWD R-Sport sedan, and my car is tuned to 561HP on the same 6 Cyl platform found in many F-types (AJ126). What a car! 0-60 in 3.6 seconds.
From 340 stock hp to 561? What did you do to it?😳😂
Velocityap has the e85 tune and two Pulleys to speed up the SC. No changes to the fuel system were needed for E85. It was very easy to get there with Velocityap. @@peterwolanyk3428
The last of a dying breed ,the F type for me is still yet one of the best sounding V8s out there and I do not thing I'm going out on limb to say it is still yet the best production car by Jag case closed WE GONNA MISS IT
One of the most beautiful fine car I’ve ever seen
Kudos to Rory for another amazing F-type video.
Great video! That Brompton fold-up e-bike just needs the old cardboard/spokes/peg trick for a similar F-Type sound effect 😊
love love love the production!
May I know which watch you are wearing? I absolutely loved it 😍👍
Just got a 2018 R Dynamic V6 coupe. It’s major silly ass fun! Seriously, you get in it, hit the pipes and put it into sport and it pops and hisses-just makes you smile
Great video 👏🏻.
I'm sure all I.C.E. Jaguars will be missed but especially anything with that iconic 5 litre, supercharged V8! A shame more models did not have it fitted.
Also I think for the last 10 years Jaguar have been the kings of understatement, which is probably a bad thing. With all these great cars there is not much to warrant or celebrate these limited editions. The 1988 F-Pace is another example to this F-Type 75.
Supercharging ls less efficient than turbocharging, so with nearly all manufacturers chasing low CO2 outputs, the supercharger was mostly dropped.
"Bad thing"? Why shout when you are the most gorgeous thing in the room. Wonderful. BMs and Porsche are naff compared
The F-Type is to this day one of Jaguars 🐆 best.
It’s gorgeous yet doesn’t scream 🙀 give me attention. It rides in a way that makes you want to drive without an end in sight.
Best of all it’s English and after the warranty. You’ll see it in the shop more than your garage. 😂😅 Jokes aside I do like the car and have enjoyed driving them. 😊
Thank you for good memories F-Type R. 🎉❤
It is far more reliable than my two prior 911's were....or my Volvo's....or my subaru's. Have data and bills to prove that.... Bosch electronics, trw brakes, leer seats, etc. Top tier subsystems....and brilliant design. A masterpiece really and one day many will wish they had bought it when affordable...
Great video as always, but that hoodie......love it!! Where did you get that from?
I want it!!
This has to be the most impressive exhaust pipes to disturb my neighbors. I like the two-seater, it's perfect for office commute and powerful engine is sure way to warm up your morning.
I will never forget when you said "a dinosaur gargling hand grenades on the gaza strip". And that resulted in me buying a 2015 f-type R coupe, the only year for rear drive, hydraulic steering and the loudest exhaust!
8 cyl F-Type is underrated. I’ve been thinking about getting a used SVR
Do it you will not Regret it Trust me
You must!
RIP to your wallet and mental health. Will sound good, though. 😂
I love my F-Type R, as a former tech for JLR it was probably the main vehicle that put Jaguar back on the map. I have the 1st generation F-Type just before the awd was standard for the v8 models. Its the best version of it.
As a tech what is your opinion on the reliability of the F-type? I know people that own them and they say they are pretty reliable.
What an exceptionally presented review, stands out as a remarkably lucid analysis of the actual drivers experience when driving this car.
Got mine in sorento yellow w black trim. It’s my favorite car right now.
I have a 2018 400 sport. I absolutely love it
Awesome that you drove it in New Mexico!!! Beautiful car!
What an ending especially with the Rory's voice 😌
This is one of the best looking car then when it first came out years ago and it still is today and will be years to come ....oh yes it sounds awsome I'd have a mine in yellow
It's been one of the most beautiful cars on the road since the day it was released.
Great video
No doubt the next one will be on oil street lamps. Looking forward to that
Hey Rory Love your videos. You are my favorite reviewer (ie F-Pace SVR). I have a black 2023 P450 AWD coupe. The new gen face lift version looks much better than the original version - especially in person. Photos and video don't do it justice. Never had people chat with me so much about a car, turns heads and thumbs up. People love the classic lines and sound of the engine. Never experienced as many smiles per mile, when driving it (I owned 911T, X/1/9, 124 Spyder and more in 70s - 90s. X3 & X6 in 2000s). A work of art.
The F-type Jaguar is a big cat: muscular, lithe and beautiful. The slim lights are Germanic: they scream efficiency not sexy. Bad design choice.
Just had to get one!
But in black, 575 horses and what a soundtrack!
The most underrated jaaaaag, hate to see it be discontinued
Gorgeous. I love this sort of design, jaguar, aston, maseratti, the roma…it’s just beautiful
Great review 👍🏾Do the F pace SVR as well
Thanks
Why kill it off electric cars are a white elephant ....and are less green than this beauty to produce and run for the first five years
Battery powered ones yes, may be other electric powered cars in time will be better (I hope). But current ones are soulless and full of tech that doesn't make them better cars, just gimmicks.
For the first 5 years? Bit short minded no?
Brilliant presentation
The F-Type in any of it's forms, is likely the most fun modern car built. Just an absolute blast to drive.
Best option: Buy a used Jaguar F type SVR from 2018, then you've a un-neighbouring friendly jaguar roaring sport car.
I did some test drives with the Merc GTS, Continental GT, and the F-Type R. The F felt effortless to drive. I could just feel it straight away. The others were dogs in comparison. So much fun! :)
Rory, I love that watch! Who makes it?
This has always been a car everyone would suggest to their friends and none would buy it themselves.
Jaguar's reputation precedes them
I see nonstop about how criminally underrated it is, yet the sales numbers are pretty shit lol. That does mean you can pick up used ones for $70k cheaper, which I plan on doing early next year
I love it but don't have the wealth to run it for 10 plus years ...If its reliable & easy low cost maintenance, I would consider one . So people who loves to own it have no wealth , those who have wealth won't own one.
@@ajthomas770 no rich man would want to put up with jag's tantrums even if money doesn't matter. Rich people will have bigger problems in life to deal with.
Incredible review by Rory!
This car sounded amazing in the v6 , v8 I think there was a 4 cycl too that sounded good af
A great car that would of reached the end of its life with or without jaguar going electric. The only thing I’m sad about having owned a jaguar in the past is that going up market as we are led to believe with there electric ambitions is I won’t be able to afford the opportunity of owning an electric version of there future cars. I wish them well but I think it’s a brave move trying to compete with Bentley.
Rory is an amazing reviewer. 10M subscribers coming
I love that hoodie !!!
the svr version will always remain my favorite sounding v8
I have one, as many others do on this thread. It's a truly beautiful car both for its looks and its ability.
I’m going talking about ur cameraman.. great job and a perfect every angles
Now they gonna Electrify it. 😢 RIP Jaguar F-type
YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN RIGHT HERE, 26/08/2023
Beautiful review. Can't help to ask how reliable this car is? Is it going to spend an entire summer in the garage while waiting for parts?
One of the best engines of all time!!!
It’s got a gorgeous rear end.
What's the brand of the hoody you wearing? I LOVE it
Would like to see a proper video on the brompton cycle please. Maybe GCN can do the honors?
The design of the F Type is gorgeous. I think as soon as we see denser batteries coming which allow to pack like 200kWh in a space under the chassis with not too much weight, this design will come bck gloriously. And then it will have huuuuuge storage with the entire front becoming a Frunk. So lets not give up on the gorgeous design just yet.
Jaaaaaaaaaaag - glorious. I have an xf 3.0 litre petrol (absolutely NO COMPARISON to the F type monster) but,i love my xf it's a wonderful long distance cruiser and has effortless power on tap.
Jaguar have truly missed a trick by not producing an electric XJ - THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A KILLER !!.
THE F-TYPE WILL COME TO OCCUPY THE SAME NICHE AS THE E-TYPE HAS IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS -IT'S A DESIGN CLASSIC FROM ANY ANGLE.
glad this show hit the wall
Absolutely stunningly car, i remember when i first saw the R
Nice sweater, great car!!
Growler?? I think growler is something very different 😂 great video, gorgeous car.
Nice video Rory. You need to shop at Macys going forward cause that top is suspect.
I had 2 wonderful years and mine was only the 340 … wold have loved to obtain an SVR but wasn’t to be … thought they may have used the titanium exhaust for the final edition …
One of my personal favorite British sport's cars..
love the car, love Rory too!
This car is super cool. I think this would make a great electric car as well as. I’m excited for the upcoming electric jaguars!
That was a wonderful eulogy to a wonderful car.
your reviews are easy o understand. I now know about cars.
Probably the best sounding European V8.
Don't discount the V6, especially if you can find a 2016-17 manual transmission example. They have fewer mechanical issues, are better balanced, and let's be honest, 380HP is plenty in a 3,500 pound car. My 2016 3.0 S coupe has all the options, sings a sweet song, the manual transmission adds to the fun.
Going full electric it's going to be one of the dumbest moves in history (putting all your eggs in one basket usually it's not smart)
It's not dumb though is it, it's out of necessity as the government plans to ban new petrol/diesel car sales from 2030
Auto trader are putting people OUT OF WORK, well done Rory, hat's of to you
Just specced one online.. came to 108k!!!
There are certain cars I just love to see Rory review. And they need to make a noise 😂
What watch is Rory wearing??
@6:52 notice you say it's a glorious noise vs saying a glorious sound😄 And exactly! Should be able to enjoy a sportscar without setting off other car alarms. Been fascinated with Jaguars since Austin Powers and this FType continues that legacy. Unfortuantely this type is on its way out. Curious to see the transition of Jaguars electric and if that power still remains.
I just love your videos and ur reaction to stimulus as well😂😂
Really nice 👌
Hi Rory, what watch are you wearing?
I disagree with the Carpathian Grey color being boring... I own this exact car model, in this color, but with two tone interior - Cream w/black trim. It stands out... This is a fabulous car to drive and own. It brings much joy, and many smiles per gallon.
Gorgeous car with room in the cockpit for Ronnie Corbett or Kevin Hart. The only car of this nature that is more cramped for the driver is the BWM i8 where you have to climb across a 3 foot ledge to sit down (well, at 6’3“ tall with long legs it felt like it was 3 feet wide.)
Top tip - get the V6S like me - same sound, but cheaper to tax, insure and fix!
Always wanted a V8 f type. The drive has such a sense of occasion and that exhaust note is to die for. I ended up going for a C63s coupe but I still have hope that I’ll scratch the F type itch one of these days. Will be sad to see it go
Geez Louise! 575hp! That's madness.
im going to miss this era of jaguar
Wow the real machine ♥️
