Traded in my 2020 F-Type for a 2023 that I picked up in August and absolutely love it, never had an issue with these cars and I like the fact you don't see them everywhere.
Did you just prefer the new updated look? What were your reasons for trading to the new car? Just curious.
@@dlj1285 I really liked the look of the old headlights, other than that I liked all the new changes they made (front grille, back lights, digital dash, updated suspension, better standard equipment, plus getting AWD when my last one was RWD) I figured there were a lot of positives and really just the headlights being the one thing I didn't like.
@@robcioffi7725 It’s funny how polarizing the new front is for folks. I absolutely love the new look myself. I personally find the old car to look quite dated in comparison, but to each their own. Will be taking delivery of a 24 R coupe myself in a couple months.
How do you find the sound of the new one compared to the original car? The new one sounds pretty similar to me, minus some of the original car’s burble tune.
@@dlj1285 I agree with the front, the new has grown on me after owning it now for a few months. For the sound, the new one isn't as loud but I think it still sounds good. It sounds more "grown up" I would say. The old one had the pops and bangs constantly but with every car having it now and people getting tunes on every car to do it, it feels over done. If you do want that though, you can remove Fuse 15 under the hood and you get all that back so it sounds like the older F-Types (tested it out a few weeks ago)
@@robcioffi7725 Interesting. I was under the impression that even with the fuse pulled it still was not quite as crazy as the first gen car.
There is a way to basically put that fuse on a switch so that you can have the best of both worlds without the inconvenience of having to pull/replace the fuse. Some hook it up to the 3rd garage door opener button some how. Read it in the forums. Su-posed to be pretty straight forward. Then when you are in the mood you just hit the button, and when not hit it such that the fuse is back in operation sorta thing.
Had mine for 4 years now, serviced yearly, only ever had to change the tyres and oil. No issues at all.
We also have an xf v6, 2015, no issues either.
This is the reality for many with modern Jags. I have family and friends with this same sort of positive experience. Regardless, there are many on the Internet where it’s like a favourite past time to continue to perpetuate past reliability issues. It doesn’t matter to them that today’s Jags are pretty good.
The fact is its an eye catching car, and is far more respected on the roads than other similarly priced models from other manufacturers. It sounds glorious, is scarily fast and reeks of class. Thats why I bought one!
Friend has had an older one for 8 years, it’s been without a hitch and the services cost less than I imagined. I’ll probably get one to be honest, love them.
Sadly, this model has always been underrated. It looks “good” but given the E-Type heritage, it just never looked nearly as superb. But I still like it. And it’s super rare. I live in Greenwich Connecticut USA where you can’t throw a stick without hitting Ferrari, Aston, Porsche, etc. But I NEVER see an F-Type. RIP. You were one of the greats.
I used to go out to Norwalk every few months for work (from Albany NY area) and my first time in that area was kind of shocking. Went from the normal usual traffic on the highway to six-figure cars everywhere, saw more exotics in a day than I've seen in my whole life. I've never felt so poor before, lol.

Great review. Just got my F Type R75 today. Your review is accurate. Thank you for your review of the car. Will subscribe and follow. P.S. (I also just got rid of the wife and got an Audi R8GT last week along with the F Type R75. Hopefully they will make me happier than she ever did).
Ouch! Savage :)
Pulled the trigger on a 2023 P575 in June. A thing of beauty, in every respect.
Happy motoring!
When I drive my V6, I never ever play the radio. Ever. I listen to the tone of the car. It’s not as grand as the V8 but I love it. I bought into some heritage and motoring history.
Mine is a 2016 3.0 S, manual transmission coupe with all the options. Triple black, it has great road presence, more than enough power for the two lane twisty and hilly roads where I live. It is a more analogue car than the newer ones, I like that. It too makes a glorious sound.
Dear Marek, while joining you in mourning this magnificent engine, I am pleased to note the glorious Omega Seamaster AquaTerra at your wrist. Let's says your dressed up for the occasion, well done!
A truly prejudicial appraisal, I have a 5 Litre R AWD 550 PS and absolutely love it
I've had my '14 V8S Convertible since 2016. It now has 44,000 miles on the odometer. Other than a few niggles (mostly covered by the original factory warranty), the car's been remarkably reliable.
The eagle made my day.
Love it. Its my type. Nothing better ripping around the neighborhood in my astonishingly fun V6 Spyder.
I have never owned a Jag but this F-Type really ticks my boxes. I'm a lover of air cooled Porsches because they're compact and small, genuine sports cars. Became too expensive though... so I'm looking for something similar. New 911's are crazy fast and capable but they're HUGE. This looks much smaller, sounds amazing and what most important... LOOKS amazing. Cheers.
Very good review. Enjoyed it a lot.
The comparison with the ex GF was so accurate reminding me with mine who had the exact profile 😅😅
We've all been there. Or they've all been here, dating a broke loser :)
Amazing car !! One of my "bucket list" cars in the event of a big lottery win !!
Best of luck!
I own a 2015 XKR and personally think that it is the most beautiful rendered of the XK and F-Type line. Even though the back seat is almost useless for any occupant, it still provides a less claustrophobic cabin feel.
Don't think you were fair but will admit the clickbait got me. This car is amazing and for the price, it's a steal.
Your Ex sounds like one of mine…a lesson learned, eventually…
Another great review, thanks
Thanks for watching!
i love my 2017 F type S... best car i've ever had
The first model was perfected. They should have kept the look a concentrated on updating the tech. still love all models though
Super car. No issues. 63k miles. 550hp never gets dull. Great seats. Great looks. Awesome paint. Panoramic roof is great.
No rattles in my car at all.
I don't find the issues the presenter does... best deal out there used for sure because of the silliness of things - the car is well made, well designed, and drives amazingly. It is an A+.
I love the gearshift lever. It reminds mw of a fighter jet
Even more so when the rear spoiler pops up at speed and you catch it in your rear view mirror with the big Jaguar logo reminding you that it's a Jag your driving...Love it !...the F-Type to me is all about that raw visceral feel of a sports car rather than a clinically engineered track car like a Porsche...they're two different animals altogether...just depends on what you prefer more.
Great review Marek 👍. I really like the F-Type. Would I buy a Porsche at the same price?.....yep probably. Luckily for me, a bad back (too low down) and an empty bank account prevents me from having to face the dilemma 😉
The only $80K brand-new Porsche sports car you can buy in the US is a Base Cayman, with 1 year shorter warranty and just one free oil change, a far less deal than the Jag V8 F-Type's 5 year warranty and 5 year complimentary maintenance. And no, the Jag V8 does not depreciate more than the "Base" Cayman in absolute dollar terms after 5+ years.
I suggest getting a 992 911S, and spend at least $150K for it. If you don't have the $$$, don't bother with either cars. Genuine advice.
Yes. Though you should buy both. One's a hooligan, the other is a scalpel. Own a V6S and a GT3 for those very reasons (and I still hesitate on which to take some days, which says a lot about how fun this car is...).
Very nice review with details that i didn´t know yet! It´s definately a car that you can only buy with your heart, not with your brain. But unfortunately yes, it is my dream car in my dream garage and my brain is already shut down xD
Life is way too short not to if you can. That’s the whole point of the these…To not make a lot of sense…
You spent 3 minutes driving a sports car that is meant to be driven yet you spent half your time worrying about turning circles and anecdotes. You need to do better.
Proper engine and engine note. Awesome. Proper buttons to turn aids on and off. Lovely.
No adaptive cruise? Really? My employer has a three cylinder manual Yaris as a courtesy car and that thing has ACC.
This could have been some production shortage issue. I the F-Type price list in front of me, and ACC is theoretically standard, but then it's part of a driver assist package, which is unavailable. Weird.
Marek, I respectfully disagree with many points in your video. Comparing the F-type to the 911 4S isn't entirely fair-the 911 is pricier with similar performance. Your remark about the F-type's stick shift being absurd doesn't hold; it feels more authentic than the 911's tiny 'beard shaver' stick. While I love the 911, the F-type R outshines in beauty, sound, and affordability. It offers a better overall value.
Fair enough.
Also, I love how bloke logic allows us to find value in 150k sports coupes :)
I think most people would rather see a 1L 3 cylinder Dacia Duster review Marek…. Right guys???!!!!!😂
I have a 2021 R and absolutely love it. Think of it as a thug in an Armani suit…sexy on the outside, brutal underneath if you want it to be.
**I for one have horror stories with my f type** here is a different story than the other positive comments.... I have a 2021 P380. Oxygen sensor, mass air filter, spark plugs, and a few more things etc ALL had to be replaced 5k km in. the E differential clutches are rubbing all the time now and is a manufacturer issue. Only 24k km in and 3 years since 2021. *I also get about 20liters per 100km. The fuel effciency is terrible in city. I get 12 on highway if i continue highway for say 3-4 hours out of a 4-5 hour drive.
The door panel is peeling off, the little black plastic frame that acts as the outline of the door window area is peeling off, seems to just be glued.
I've got plenty panel gaps around there too.
It's been a nightmare of little things going wrong and the JLR dealership is terrible. Always trying to dodge warranty work, schedules you 3 months out. Don't show up to appointments or come late, and sold me winter tires with rear walls torn and won't refund me because they were used tires but if YOU as a dealership is selling me this, how the hell are you not validating it and you'd just flat out scam your customers like that? I spent $1800 on those "near new" tires and had to spend another half of that to buy another two rear tires because they were improperly taken off of the previous car and torn (so the dealership torn the sidewalls too...not even their prior customer).
I would never buy jaguar ever again. Going straight back to Porsche if anything for service alone
"A compressor leads to much more fuel consumption" ? Not in my supercharged Jaguar !
Agreed…I get up to 33 mpg on the motorway at 70 mph. Not bad at all.
Drove it. However, cars like this are not to everyone taste. It's accessory 😂
Very reliable car, of course it needs servicing properly, bankrupt you? no, O2 sensors may go, other than that no real issues. LFT-666 (670 BHP) F type R owner.
Jags have never done it for me. Range Rovers either. Bentleys, yes. I know what you mean about the sound though. A 2CV went past me on a recent holiday and I was taken back years to my first (and only) open car. And the sound of a 2CV is lovely. Sunny days, quiet roads, roof back and the ability to push the car to its limits and mine at the same time. So, no, not bothered what they do to Jags. Entertaining review, as usual!
Please convert hp to kw. It takes me too long to convert in my head, and I miss your next comments! Otherwise, I really like these videos.
Please use Google, like everyone else.
💚💚💚
I like them but in the UK towns and villages are increasingly littered with various types of speed bump - wide ones, tables, pyramids - low cars are constantly running a risk of damage, and even many standard cars. They make me want to buy an off roader honestly. I have the XJR and even that only gets a few inches clearance on some of the ones near our house.
XJR Safari project comes to mind :)
Good review, that will probably break my wallet. 😂
Better wallet, than heart. Or is it the other way round? ❤️🩹
More road noise that a 911? Too noisy to be a GT? What a load of rubbish!
That mean cat growls.
Love this beast, need to have one and I'm sure it'll be as fun if not more than my 16 Charger Hellcat which I tore apart(never used the black key during my ownership💔💥😂)each and everyday as my daily drive ❗️ 🤣🤣🤣 You must checkout his comment at 7:10 mark referencing a hysterical comparison of Jaguar F Type R 575 to his ex-wife❗️❗️❗️😂🤣🤣🤣Priceless💳🤣🤣🤣🤣
2014 F-Type 3.0s 50,000 with full main dealer service history was by far the worst car for reliability we have ever owned and we would never buy another one. In the 14 months we owned it both banks of injectors needed replacing at a cost of over £3000, various electrical glitches with a wire repair for the wipers costing £660, coolant and oil leaks repair cost £600, supercharger belt replacement £1600, front discs and pads £900 to name but a few things. Be warned what is meant to be a pleasurable experience turns into a nightmare. Not only the costs are awful but so are the waiting times for Jaguar main dealers to take your car in and fix it. The dealership had our car for 5-7 weeks at a time. Gone back to Mercedes and am able to breathe a sigh of relief. Beautiful to look at but that is where it stops.
I couldnt accept the way the steering wheel is offset
What exactly do you mean?
Camera angle, not in real driving. It is right in front of the driver.
Regardless of what you think about electromobility, Jaguar would be well advised to release a similar model with an electric motor.
After all, this vehicle represents the brand inimitable.
I'm waiting for a good GT with an electric powertrain. It's not like there are many places left, where you could, but this would do 400-500 km at speeds around 200 km/h. 400 km @ 100km/h is a feat in an EV these days.
like JAG in yellow color....but not for me cause i do not have that money..
That colour, more than most, really shows off the shape of the car for sure. I would be tired of the colour within 6 months though myself. Great for promotional content though. Way too loud. To each their own.
Bankrupt? This car?! Cheaper to run than any Audi or BMW I've ever had. Some cheaper brands as well. Leagues more reliable as well. It'll be 10 years old this year and it's never once had a fault, issue, niggle or even hesitated turning on. I did ask around about parts before buying it, and not more expensive than anything else on the market either. I'm not sure how this will bankrupt you, unless you can't pay for gas or insurance (and the annual service fees - which you should be doing on a solid Indie after the warranty expires anyway)....
Just like my ex either...looks cool but everything else....ugh))
Sports cars, let alone 2-seater sports cars, are never "essential" cars, but rather the cars of discretion and desire. In the US, you could custom order a P450 RWD for $80K with reasonable options, and comes with 5 year bumper-to-bumper warranty and 5 year complimentary maintenance. How will this purchase "bankrupt" you, compared to other sports cars with shorter warranty and no free maintenance package built in? Of course, if you don't have even $80K in cash to spare, don't buy a sports car, period. It's not an essential purchase for anyone.
Tickets, legal fees, jail time, losing one's license. That's what I mean :)
The last actual Jaguar (as opposed to a rebadged LandRover) - it should be mourned just for that.
Sad also that the Ford dream (LandRover teach Jaguar how to make money; Jaguar teach LandRover how to build cars properly) got derailed in favour of just trying to make money and quality be damned. Tata knows what makes the world go round.
Will the next stage in the (J)LR brand evolution be new low-end LR models that are actually rebadged (and smartened-up) Tata cars direct from India, as part of the electric revulsion (I mean revolution)? Just glad that I can't afford any of them, so I expect that makes me jealous of those who can. What was the saying - money can't buy common sense?
AFAIK JLR is shifting towards the higher end. They want to compete with Rolls and Bentley, rather than plebeian BMW and Mercedes.
It makes me sick knowing so many manufactures are going electric.
There's actually been a reversal of this more and more people and governments and authorities are realising that Eevee is actually not the way to go Hallelujah
not enough room inside.
Get a Subaru then. These are special occasion cars, not utilitarian vehicles.
@@3ducs there are cars like Maserati way more room.. 911 got more room...your comments is not needed
@@janosik150 Oh, thanks. Who appointed you to say who is "needed" and "not needed"?
@@3ducs because you are telling me to buy a Subaru...next time fraze your comment more receptacle
@@janosik150 Oh, ok, I'll do that. But... the point remains the same, these cars are not meant to be utilitarian, I didn't buy mine for the practicality, I knew it had limited space inside. It is a beautiful car with great road presence, very striking in triple black, no chrome. A Porsche would probably suit you better, they are very good cars. But I wanted something different, I might see one or two other F-Types in a year where I live, Porsches are too common to remark on, good as they are. I have a F-Type coupe, it does have practicality in that it has a pretty large trunk. Sounds better than a Porsche too.
Rattle in dashboard. Not for me then
Lol, okay. ALL cars can get rattles. Porsche is even more famous than Jag for that.
My 2016 doesn't have any rattles.
That is a 40k car on a good day.
I'm sure it will soon depreciate to that level :)
Unfortunately the second hand market has a different opinion :/
Yeah, and with these EV mandates coming don’t you worry…Anyone wanting to buy a good example of one of these cars will,pay a high price in the not so distant future.
The back end is an absolute disaster which means I’ve never been tempted to buy one.
Style is subjective. You don't like it, walk away. But I like it and bought a coupe. It never fails to elicit favorable comments.
Lexus LC500 is a much better option and will last for years! Jags are simply junk and will fall apart very quickly!
Here we go…ridiculous. Go get yer slow AF grandpa LC.
Facts hurts...😊
@@hammylauw9574 Don’t need to convince me of the reliability of Toyota products. I have 2. But nothing will standup to Toyota product for reliability. They are great for that. For the other parts around aspirational “dream car”-type purchases, yeah, not so much. Snore fest. I have family and friends who own F-types. They have reasonable reliability, in large part due to the fact that they have been around a while, they are deep into their development cycle, etc...They are not perfect, but on balance they are fine if they are looked after….They are great cars for what they are.
The LC500 in some respects should not even be compared to an F-type R. The F-type R is an animal in terms of performance. The LC, beautiful car in it’s own right, but very down on performance. Life is way to short to buy an LC over an F-type R if the F-type rings your bell more. Reasonable reliability can be enough for some if the car has other attributes you are looking for. For me the LC is not doing anything for me beyond reliability.
Not sure where you get your “facts”. I suspect you are one of these bandwagon sheep-like followers that are uninformed about the F-type.
@@hammylauw9574if what he spoke was facts…it would
My 2016 is very solid, everything works.
