- In this Jaguar F-Type Review I get to find out if you should buy it and see what the Jags like to live with for a few days. I have to know if it's really is better alternative than an Aston Martin Vantage V8.
🚗 To View more Details on this Jaguar F Type R visit - www.fratellicars.com/
We go through its appearance, Some of the specs and share what we really think about this Jag. I really love the design in fact I prefer this to the newer shape because of its old school styling.

Well i purchased an svr in 2020, i part ex from a porsche 981 spyder and jag xf-r. I have had many porsches over the years, but my svr? I found my forever car. Im never selling it even if ev takes over.
Pride, dream achieved, smiles all day, clubs to go to, its not seen on the road often, its as fast as i need and more. Top down, its utterly violent and the feeling of the open air in a car so visceral is incredible. And thats before that devastating exhaust sound.
Oh and only tyre changes. Never had a single issue...at all.
We had another f type in at my friend's garage (Fratelli cars) it's in black and I think I prefer it to this one.
In a perfect world I would love one in racing green and silver wheels. I love my cheap Audi TT but maybe one day I'll get an f type
@@epiccarshow yes pal. Mines balsamic black with the bright red upholstery inside. If im spending that money i wanted it red lol.
Thanks for the great video btw. Top class.
@@Sabre_Wulf1 I do love a red car. Good to polish. Thank you for watching 🙏
There’s a guy that lives opposite me who’s got one of these, certainly know when he’s leaving home!!!
Hopefully not an airline pilot who leaves for work at 3am lol
@@epiccarshow haha - not that I’m aware of, but he does keep some “interesting” hours 😉
I'm just a British sports car enthusiast, and I like the rarity of the aston martin, but the f type would suit me as well.
I think it's fair to say that the sound of V8s, V10s & V12s will never ever get old or boring. That Jaguar sounds amazing and looks stunning!
Yeah truly epic sounds from that V8 👌
This is one of your best videos David. The editing in my opinion is spot on.( Like, what do i know) 😂 keep the faith your doing ok. It was very entertaining. Dad 👍🍺
Cheers Dad! I'm Just Happy to finally be Filming Content that i'm Passionate about
Great video Dave. I can see this channel taking off.
Thank you Karl
Once again another fantastic video Dave
Thank you
Great review! I bought my 2019 non R back in 2022 and had the pleasure to drive almost all model variants
Oh nice I really want to get one but I'm not quite there yet
@@epiccarshow if the R is a steep incline, look into the smaller engines
The new Topgear if I am not mistaken! brilliantly put across
Thank you Roger, I learned so much working for Top Gear so some habits may have worn off but not intentional 🙏
You did well on the MPG. Get a version reg after april 2017 and the Tax is lower
Nice I'll remember that if I ever get out of my overdraft lol. We've had to revert to buying £200 Skoda's now things have got that bad 😅
Great video!
Thank you very much 🙏
I think when it comes to style there is nothing comparable in the same price range. And what´s even better: These things are rare, at least here in Germany. So you get a car that looks exclusive and it indeed is just as exclusive as a Ferrari Roma or something like that. Porsche 911 on the other hand you can see at every corner.
Yes I agree with you. in the south of the UK Porsche seems to be everywhere.
With you 100% Dave, lovely looking car. Don't worry about the fuel consumption, as long as you enjoy driving it. Will it be your next motor?
No as much as I would love one Id sooner give every penny to my kids. The most I'd spend on my own car would be 5 grand
The closest Aston to measure this up to is the 2018 vantage with the refreshed body styling but even that is 30k more on the used car market
Lovely motors they are ❤🎉😊
Yeah I love this one mind you if be happy with the 3 litre to be honest
Nice car, but i really wouldn't want one. Had a 2016 jag XE AWD. It was great for getting to work, i had a blast one year we had a few inch of snow, until, the Jaguar apps android app stoppped supporting Spotify. Some licensing thing, then it was an actual pain. It was less fun to drive, as I couldn't really listen to what I wanted to, servicing was expensive, but being a 2l diesel, it was cheap to run (if you stayed away from town and start stop traffic) £60 a month. i traded it in for a golf as the interior, while classy with the double stitching on the leather dash, it was just dated, and less functional :( I probably wouldn't buy another jag, but it might be fun to do a trip in a F-type. Good job as always
We have a black f type at Fratelli cars now and it's not as modded as this one and it feels so much better
@@epiccarshow i mean for 30k you can buy a decent 2nd hand f-type or a I-pace (milk-float), Audi r6. I know I;m buying the F-type. i have thought about it trading in the Golf GTI performance for one, if it wasn't for the crippling insure, servicing and running costs lol Sometimes you can go too far with modding, one of the guys up the road mapped a seat leon cupra to 460 bhp. it took him 4 clutches to figure out how to drive it without burning out the clutch
Thanks for the video. The only negatives you found are 1) the gas mileage, 2) It's "bumpy" and 3) the tax. It's a sports car, not a Prius.
It's just a video where we were testing content ideas we're fully aware of what it is and what it's capable of 🙏
20-25 mpg is not bad at all for 650HP V8 5 liter
What a sound! Unfortunately you would need a mate following you in a petrol tanker 😂
You’d be surprised what you can get on a long run. I’ve managed 36mpg on a mixed motorway and A road trip.
@@TIMSANDYSURF Then why do you say you only get 20mpg in the video....killing your credibility here.....there's so much info on Jaguar F-types on the net all you had to do was google to find more accurate stats and share THOSE figures in the video
@@locophoto6881 it’s not my video! My credibility is fully intact.
@@TIMSANDYSURF you're 100% correct...my bad sincerely. I thought it was the OP responding
Brilliant guys, it puts in to perspective the running cost of a car like that it would not be suitable for a daily driver and as you say a weekend toy. Lovely car by all means but far out of range for me lol.
Yeah in a perfect world I would have one but as it's a crazy world I'll stick with my Audi TT lol
I daily drive my, no issues and very reliable. Decent gas mileage too. Not sure why you think it's only a weekend driver lol
because im too poor to own one lol. would still love a jag f type though@@TheMason7125
I own one so I’ll say yes 😂
And you are correct I never use my car stereo 😂
And as a owner of a convertible you got zero boot space
I couldn’t even fit a small printer from pc world in the boot
I would love one in racing green
Your fuel economy is likely so bad because its been modified to 650bhp. The stock 550 is said to achieve 25 mpg combined real world miles as noted by drivers
20 to 25mpg!?!? I have the v6 and I get about 18 😖
I need to listen to this Meridian sound system my hear it's bad even though there's 10 speakers
I was going to add an audio clip but then realised it may get copyright for certain songs. Got another Jag f type so may record more content with it
Couldn’t resist. MOT due 3rd Jan and tax ran out in November!!!!!
In preparation for sale in January 👌
@@epiccarshow . How much do you think it’d fetch? Lovely car.
I think this one is 35k (i think) they got another f type that has been left as standard in Black that looks stunning
@@mikeymikeFType
@@epiccarshow . Been deliberating over a V8. Mine’s a 2018 V6 AWD 380hp. Online valuation currently 29k. Only 23k miles. Is it worth the extra for an older,higher mileage car?!!!
its a tough one as i havent lived with the 3 litre. Your more than welcome to pop to fratelli cars at Gatwick and take a look at their F Types. we are there everyday @@mikeymikeFType
my F type R rear wheel drive costs £320 a year tax and if you think 20 to 25 mpg is bad for a V8 5.0 supercharged very powerfull car is bad you need a re calibration.
Hey mate, Ben here fron Australia, looking for a 2016 FType R, after test driving one 2 days ago.......WOW what a monster, and it is a head turner lol especially in Australia as they are rare.....my concern is, after putting the foot down a bit the car was slipping here and there (not sure what the term is) but I almost feel I will end up wrapped around a tree if I don't get the AWD version? What are your thoughts....maybe I just need a defensive driving course...
Spectacular car. Those mods are so unnecessary though
Yeah tweak it a little. Mind you the vehicle wrap on it is done to perfection
I totally agree! The regular Jag F-Type R has never been lacking in performance
JLR is making a huge mistake 🫤such a great car
Yeah a big mistake, they will learn the hard way
Less people will be using petrol so the price will drop. 😂
Not only will less be produced but when it drops, the government will tax it more so that electric SEEMS like a better deal.
🪫🚗 Not in a million years 😂
You're clueless dude....if you follow the car market at all or read the news at all you'd know the EV market is absolutely tanking and has been all year, and will only be getting worse in 2024, 2025, and on.....we're in for a big big economic downturn most likely will be 2025 when it really kicks in....but used car prices will be dropping significantly in the second half of this year and then forward....so if you want an F-type that's the time to go shopping....now is the time to save and invest very carefully so you're ready.
