I remember watching this video when it came out, and falling in love with the car. Wanted one ever since, and finally managed to buy one yesterday. Best decision I’ve ever made
Of course I may be bashed for this, but I believe it has the rear look of the new Corvette Stingray (obviously the tail lights are different, I'm talking about the overall shape), and the front resembling a DB9.
***** I would have to disagree with that, although I am not trying to say the XK is an ugly car; because it is still very beautiful. The XK really has it's place as a cheaper way to obtain an Aston Martin.
I watched this video for 8 years, and two years ago I bought a fully loaded F-Type SVR Convertible, and I have loved every moment of owning it for the last two years, and will probably keep the car forever. Some of the best marketing content for any car I've ever seen published...anywhere...
@@nath-wp7xp Wasn't an issue, I just put some stuff behind the passenger seat when needed, but the SVR did not have the spare wheel so the trunk was fine.
Yeah, my Miata has the same pop and crackle, thanks to simple exhaust mods... the best bang for the buck in a track car. Though I'd certainly like to own a Jag F...
It's now 10 years later and Jaguar not only stopped making cars that people want but they destroyed an iconic British brand with a 30 second commercial that looked like a bad attitude Benetton fashion ad tripping on acid.
yep they lost me with the new model. they say its anything but ordinary but its honestly giving tesla truck went to maimi and meet with rivian ... not a fan and personal would love if they took older models of their cars and modernized the engines . anything after 2005 is hard to get behind
I rather have a fully restored E-Type, at auction the price can dip much lower then a fully loaded F-Type and to me the 60's model E-Type is one of the best looking cars in the world.
***** insurance is so slightly affected that you wouldn't even notice it over the v6, fuel consumption is like 1 mpg different, and for $5,000 you can get a V8. no valid arguments here.
The coupe is the best looking rear end in automotive history and the sound that comes out of it is a symphony of fire. I’ve been driving one for two years and I’m still smiling.
my grandfather had given himself a Type for his 50th birthday. I was inspired and sold my 911 and bought a Type P380 instead for my 50th. The best decision in a long time!
My dad is getting his this Friday, its something he's deserved his entire life and seeing it in person on Sunday was something special. I even had the chance of making it rev, believe me it was incredible.
The F-type is still a great car. One stupid branding decision doesn't change anything. But the problem is the F-type is their only competitive offering. They need to get it together.
Having recently looked at the Nissan GTR, Audi RS5, BMW M3, BMW M4, Porsche Cayman and the F-Type V6s, after driving one, the decision was made. Yes the German cars are more refined, but TBH quite boring in their looks (internally more than externally), the GTR would have drained every penny I had on running costs and the RS5, just didn't seem special enough for me. The Jag just stirred my inner 11 year old self, and I haven't had a car for a very long time that did that. If you can afford one, then I would seriously go check them out. They're bigger than you think for a 2-seater; tho not the boot ;) and are just incredibly enjoyable. Every time I get in I have a grin on my face. Every time I get out, after maybe another drive around the block, I have a grin on my face. Just an epic car IMO.
I love Aston Martin until the end and for a long time, thought they had the best looking cars... ... But that F-Type Jag. That is the most beautiful machine on the road.
I watched this video almost once a week for several years. The I finally bought one. I have a convertible F Type S in British Racing Green. Totally worth it.
Years ago there was an add where the fan belt snapped on a jag and the girlfriend slid her stocking off and it was used to replace the belt. Find that unwoke add.
And they're wondering why the new Top Gear was such a flop. The new host didn't stand a chance. It's unfair to blame him. Nobody, I mean nobody could have filled Jeremy's shoes. Epic car, epic review.
True, but they could have at least put someone competent in. Chris Evans was a flea market Clarkson, and Mat Le Blanc had no screen presence whatsoever (odd considering he is a good actor).
Just got a 2018 convertible R. They have changed so much since this video was released. They are now all wheel drive. Smoothed up the suspension and..... much faster. The sound can't be beat. And yes.... a little more affordable now. Love my F-Type.
I bought mine a few years ago, same colour as this with the same V6s engine with all carbon goddies from jag. I keep looking to replace it with an R8, Aston Martin or similar. But I honestly think the Jag looks soooo good. It has cost me next to nothing over 3 years, never missed a beat. Jag service is less than £400!Think Il be keeping her a while longer yet. :)
Techla Believe it or not, this baby is almost half as cheap as a GTR or Corvette! It's only double what your average soccer mom SUV costs lol! Hmmm, this or the the GTR....PFFFT THIS OF COURSE.
I remember watching this video when it was first aired and dreaming if I could one day own one. On the 16th January I picked up a stunning Loire Blue R Coupe 550hp. Dreams do come true.
I agree Jeremy .Yes I am an American but I have always had a soft spot for a Jaguar and this one is amazingly beautiful and that distinctive sound is nothing short of a choir .

Yes, it is good to be bad. There is just a certain appeal in a Jaguar, you cannot explain it, you just feel it and the from the moment you buy one, you are hooked for life. It is just so pretty.
It's nigh on impossible to explain to non-Jaguar owners, that special something that you can't put your finger on but yet strikingly palpable. Once you've had one you can't go back

@@200mphBrian Congrats on being a new F-type owner! I agree the V8 is the peek of performance for the F-type, although if one doesn't want one for whatever reason the exhaust system and bodywork do elevate even the V6 model.

As the owner of a 2017 F-Type Premium here in the USA I can say Jeremy is correct on a lot of his points like the ride. I thought I had a bad tire or something because of how bad it feels at slow speeds. I got mine used at 42k miles on it. I did the alignment, the trans fluid, the differential fluid and fixed the cheap plastic bits that were going bad. Did the work myself because "Yikes" at Jaguars service and parts cost. Yet still the ride was wonky until I put the foot down. As for boot. Yeah, get the hard top if you want any sort of trunk space with no spare. What Jeremy failed to mention was (at least in my year) the interior has no sound dampening, cheap trim, audio sux and electric seat controls for no reason. Theres no room to really adjust it if your my height at 6ft 1inch. Jeremy would definitly have noticed that. I tuned my V6 RWD and its at 418HP. I got mine at $36k though. Not no $70k after tax new.
Do you still own it? How was the maintenance. Difficult? I do all my own work as well. Issues with engine related parts at all? I've heard issues with the diff failing on these, though maybe only the v8. Electronic issues for you? How's the mpg? Any different before and after the tune? Did you need to replace shocks/struts at all? Maybe that could help the ride. And maybe they changed the ride in the later cars.
@@barsaf9989Yes I still do working on my 2nd year. Some things are your typical effort to fix while some are a bit more. Recently had to replace my coolant thermostat. My V6 kept running hot at 80mph then at 75mph and then 70mph. The part is one big housing with what looks like a heat element that plugs in the bottom. Not sure. I had to remove a lot of the intake ducts and disconnect some of the Supercharger lines at the top to get access. Also the small support bracket behind the left headlight. The tiny water pump line that branches off the main hose is easily broken. I found a replacement and fitted the upgraded brass connector. As with most coolant return lines on the F-Type, they are brittle and cheap. I had issues with the battery draining and discovered that the car was not full going into sleep mode. You will know this if you lock the car and after 15 to 20 min you can still see in the window that that the hazard button is glowing and the door LED lock lights are still on. After two days it will make the car say "Low Battery Start engine" I have had all 4 tires replaced and I still detect the wobble. I have checked maybe 4 times all the mounts and drive train. I have inspected the hubs etc etc and see nothing to cause this. My only conclusion if the differential is not very smooth. I have changed the fluid 2 times in 20k miles. First time was to be sure it was good after I bought it. The recent was to see what 20k miles did. It was clean and looked fine. No metal shavings.
@@barsaf9989Forgot, so the MPG has been the same mostly. I can get 29mph all highway and about 22 to 26mpg city driving. Keep in mine I drive casual and rarely really drive aggressively. I did do my spark plugs and used NGK. I had a weird idle where it would seem fine but then drop and shake slightly and recover every few minutes. Even with AC off. Not enough to trip any codes or misfires. So I tried different gaps. First was .032 then .038 then settled at .035. I have the full mechanics repair PDF of like 4000 pages the dealer uses and reading through it, I found a idle speed calibration procedure which seemed to help. You disconnect the negative battery terminal or the entire battery for 20min. Plug back in and start the car. 1. Let it idle, touch nothing till it reaches operating temp. Then shut off car. 2. Restart car and idle for 2 minutes. 3. Hold brake, put in Drive gear and hold it for 2 minutes. 4. Then drive for at least 5 min and varying speeds to allow the ECM to calibrate. That's it. Then of course after, reset the clock and settings. Do the door window recalibration as well. Hope this long reply helps. 😂
One of my dads friends has the F-Type R convertible and it is amazing and the convertible looks waaaayyyy better with the top down but it looks a bit EH with it up like all soft tops apart from the ones that were meant to be soft tops originally
@@jamesdempsey5702 probably because it’d be a bit stiffer and lighter but you don’t get to hear the V8 as well as with the roof down, so if I could get I id get the convertible for sound only but the dynamics are still really good on the convertible
Waited for 7 years of depreciation while watching this video on repeat (like Most of us). Just put a deposit down for the same spec, and now understand why he was grinning. boy was it worth the wait!
My biggest regret in life was when I had to sell my F Type S. 😪. I only had mine for just over a year, and the total cost of ownership was well over 12k for that year. Would happily do it again if I could.
In memory of my E-Type.....this is the nicest modern version of a very amazing car, we can buy today. I love these convertible car with all his ups and downs!👍👍👍👍 Greatings from Berlin to all fans of this beautiful car🙋♂️🍀
I have what must have been the last 380 R Dynamic V6 RWD off the line. Built 2020. Totally black inside and out, 20in wheels. AWSOME! Still only got 2,500 miles on it. Must use it more, perhaps a run to Diddly Squat Farm. I keep watching this video and cannot believe I now have one.
"Don't drive slow, just drive fast." That goes nicely with: "Power solves all things. This we know." Ah Jeremy, what would we do without your words of wisdom.
This video is responsible for me getting an orange F type v8. This is the most exciting car I've ever driven. The V8 is so unnecessary yet endearing. Perfect contrast to my daily driver model S P100D.
***** think again C-X16 concept (2011) aka F type concept car which was based on gta 5 Surano :P or they could have added it in? before the release date and The F Type was on 2012 Paris Motor show ..
I own 1ofthese. I bought it on eBay and drove 200 miles to get it. I got the V8s tuned to 605 horsepower. This thing turns heads everywhere I go and it's a convertible on top of that.😁
Go back to 1996 when Jezza reviewed the original XK8 on Top Gear, he moaned that the back end had been spoiled by making the boot too big for idiots who play golf! So if you want a boot Jeremy...
I bought my current Jaguar (an XFR) because Clarkson gave it a rave review and it's absolutely brilliant and completely unhinged. Now it's time for a replacement, I think it may have to be an F Type R
God in heaven that exhaust sound has a mainline tapped straight to my body. The wild levels of swooning for this cat (and the Aston Vantage, Christ that car is unfair) give me feelings I never thought possible for material objects. 🥰👌
I just purchased a 2014 V6 convertible in Sandfire Orange, just like this one, for an obscenely low price, and it is absolutely AMAZING. This is the most beautiful car that's not considered a super/hyper car pretty much that's ever been made. I'm in love. ...where the heck did these emojis come from 😂
Happy to say that my first and current car is a 2006 Liquid Silver Jaguar XJ8L. 1 Owner from Texas, practically brand new inside and out with only 75,000 miles on it.
I have been driving high-end Mercs and Beemers for the last 8 years, and nothing has convinced me to change up more than this F-Type V6 Ouff. The sound alone...
The fact that I watched this when it came out and that I now have the V8s is awesome. I love this car so much. Had it since the beginning of this year.
My what has Jaguar done to destroy this once beautiful legacy. I was dreaming of finally being able to get a R75 Ftype, even used it as such a desirable car. But this week Jaguar told me they don't want me to own a Jaguar, they are interested in a different kind of demographic. I will reluctantly comply, RIP Jaguar.
I was in an SL 55 AMG next to one of these and he wanted to race! I had 500 hp and I knew I’d blow him away…and then all I remember is seeing him pull off and he was gone at least a car and a half away! Get my new F type this week. Can’t wait!

I got mine at $36k though. Not no $70k after tax new.
Do you still own it? How was the maintenance. Difficult? I do all my own work as well. Issues with engine related parts at all? I've heard issues with the diff failing on these, though maybe only the v8. Electronic issues for you? How's the mpg? Any different before and after the tune? Did you need to replace shocks/struts at all? Maybe that could help the ride. And maybe they changed the ride in the later cars.
@@barsaf9989Yes I still do working on my 2nd year. Some things are your typical effort to fix while some are a bit more. Recently had to replace my coolant thermostat. My V6 kept running hot at 80mph then at 75mph and then 70mph. The part is one big housing with what looks like a heat element that plugs in the bottom. Not sure. I had to remove a lot of the intake ducts and disconnect some of the Supercharger lines at the top to get access. Also the small support bracket behind the left headlight.
The tiny water pump line that branches off the main hose is easily broken. I found a replacement and fitted the upgraded brass connector. As with most coolant return lines on the F-Type, they are brittle and cheap.
I had issues with the battery draining and discovered that the car was not full going into sleep mode. You will know this if you lock the car and after 15 to 20 min you can still see in the window that that the hazard button is glowing and the door LED lock lights are still on. After two days it will make the car say "Low Battery Start engine"
I have had all 4 tires replaced and I still detect the wobble. I have checked maybe 4 times all the mounts and drive train. I have inspected the hubs etc etc and see nothing to cause this.
My only conclusion if the differential is not very smooth.
I have changed the fluid 2 times in 20k miles. First time was to be sure it was good after I bought it. The recent was to see what 20k miles did. It was clean and looked fine. No metal shavings.
@@barsaf9989Forgot, so the MPG has been the same mostly. I can get 29mph all highway and about 22 to 26mpg city driving. Keep in mine I drive casual and rarely really drive aggressively.
I did do my spark plugs and used NGK. I had a weird idle where it would seem fine but then drop and shake slightly and recover every few minutes. Even with AC off. Not enough to trip any codes or misfires.
So I tried different gaps. First was .032 then .038 then settled at .035.
I have the full mechanics repair PDF of like 4000 pages the dealer uses and reading through it, I found a idle speed calibration procedure which seemed to help.
You disconnect the negative battery terminal or the entire battery for 20min. Plug back in and start the car.
1. Let it idle, touch nothing till it reaches operating temp. Then shut off car.
2. Restart car and idle for 2 minutes.
3. Hold brake, put in Drive gear and hold it for 2 minutes.
4. Then drive for at least 5 min and varying speeds to allow the ECM to calibrate.
That's it.
Then of course after, reset the clock and settings. Do the door window recalibration as well.
Hope this long reply helps. 😂
Words can't describe how much I love this car
Heard the v8 version today. And oh my gosh. Its incredible.
Lucky, even this V6 sounds amazing, the V6 sounds like an average V8!
The coupe is infinite times more goodlookin
The convertible top down is way better looking
One of my dads friends has the F-Type R convertible and it is amazing and the convertible looks waaaayyyy better with the top down but it looks a bit EH with it up like all soft tops apart from the ones that were meant to be soft tops originally
@@QKvox coupe looks worse but is way more fun I'm sure.
@@jamesdempsey5702 probably because it’d be a bit stiffer and lighter but you don’t get to hear the V8 as well as with the roof down, so if I could get I id get the convertible for sound only but the dynamics are still really good on the convertible
For those who are wondering where that was filmed. It was filmed in Glenshee Scotland!
"In many ways it puts me in mind of a bmw m3... except it's not a bmw, it's a jag" 😢 r.i.p
Good god! This is the most beautiful car I've ever seen.
1:01 I didn't know Jeremy can smile
He only does that when he's sideways in a car
Waited for 7 years of depreciation while watching this video on repeat (like Most of us). Just put a deposit down for the same spec, and now understand why he was grinning. boy was it worth the wait!
The last jaag
One of the reasons I'm so obsessed with this car right is because of the noise. I could listen to it all day long.
Always love coming back to this video, never thought years later there would be one of these sitting in my driveway.
How do you like it? I'm looking at the 2015 year but can't decide between coupe /convertible or v6s or the v8r
@@jamesdempsey5702 sold mine a couple months back. Loved it but super unreliable. I had the V6S, if you can go for the V8
Best car review of all time. Hands down.
My biggest regret in life was when I had to sell my F Type S. 😪. I only had mine for just over a year, and the total cost of ownership was well over 12k for that year. Would happily do it again if I could.
The sound of that exhaust just gives me goosebumps. Man I love this car
Same. You can be sure you’ve found your people by how they respond to the Jag sound.
As long as you skip the dealers pass by noise in latch special operations technical bulletin
Jeremy, Richard, James. They are the best of motoring shows
I only have to look out of my window to see this car on the drive.
Only problem is we have to return it to the dealer tomorrow.
In memory of my E-Type.....this is the nicest modern version of a very amazing car, we can buy today.
I love these convertible car with all his ups and downs!👍👍👍👍
Greatings from Berlin to all fans of this beautiful car🙋♂️🍀
I have what must have been the last 380 R Dynamic V6 RWD off the line. Built 2020. Totally black inside and out, 20in wheels. AWSOME! Still only got 2,500 miles on it. Must use it more, perhaps a run to Diddly Squat Farm. I keep watching this video and cannot believe I now have one.
"Don't drive slow, just drive fast." That goes nicely with: "Power solves all things. This we know." Ah Jeremy, what would we do without your words of wisdom.
This video is responsible for me getting an orange F type v8. This is the most exciting car I've ever driven. The V8 is so unnecessary yet endearing. Perfect contrast to my daily driver model S P100D.
hey i have the same car.. in gta
Lol
surano
i think it is a f type/sls mix
Amin Omran yea it is
***** think again C-X16 concept (2011) aka F type concept car which was based on gta 5 Surano :P or they could have added it in? before the release date and The F Type was on 2012 Paris Motor show ..
This is the same place where Jeremy reviewed the F12 Berlinetta and at 1:50, the same music used in 458 review
Clarkson the champion of loud and fast, if it handles well...bonus time.
I own 1ofthese. I bought it on eBay and drove 200 miles to get it. I got the V8s tuned to 605 horsepower. This thing turns heads everywhere I go and it's a convertible on top of that.😁
one of the best reviews on top gear (in my opinion)
Jaguar...the absolute best way to go from repair shop to repair shop.
There's always one isn't there. I've owned them for the last 7 years and have spent little to no time in the repair shop.
@@LoudModeOn Yep....there's always one that beats the odds and is decent.
@billwhite7316 I've owned my f type v6s for a year and no issues so far.
@@HowitzerBlitzer Congrats to you both. You got the 2 out 10k that don't break.
Go back to 1996 when Jezza reviewed the original XK8 on Top Gear, he moaned that the back end had been spoiled by making the boot too big for idiots who play golf! So if you want a boot Jeremy...
I think he was complaining more about the spare taking up 80% of the boot, than the actual boot itself.
I bought my current Jaguar (an XFR) because Clarkson gave it a rave review and it's absolutely brilliant and completely unhinged. Now it's time for a replacement, I think it may have to be an F Type R
God in heaven that exhaust sound has a mainline tapped straight to my body. The wild levels of swooning for this cat (and the Aston Vantage, Christ that car is unfair) give me feelings I never thought possible for material objects. 🥰👌
I just purchased a 2014 V6 convertible in Sandfire Orange, just like this one, for an obscenely low price, and it is absolutely AMAZING. This is the most beautiful car that's not considered a super/hyper car pretty much that's ever been made. I'm in love. ...where the heck did these emojis come from 😂
Whos here after Jaguar released their total garbage new logo and advert
Man you called it dude, what were they thinking?
Car reviews by Jeremy are just a masterpiece❤.
And the cinematography by the top gear crew make you forget it is a tv show!
Definitely the most beautiful Jag (I prefer the coupe over the roadster), alongside the E-Type.
That sound, it's better than any music out there, it's so satisfying to listen.
The most beautiful Jaguar in a long time, I met a stock broker who owned one.. Confirmed that it drives as great as it looks
Happy to say that my first and current car is a 2006 Liquid Silver Jaguar XJ8L. 1 Owner from Texas, practically brand new inside and out with only 75,000 miles on it.
Who’s here after Jaguar announced their shit rebranding?
I have been driving high-end Mercs and Beemers for the last 8 years, and nothing has convinced me to change up more than this F-Type V6 Ouff. The sound alone...
The fact that I watched this when it came out and that I now have the V8s is awesome. I love this car so much. Had it since the beginning of this year.
My what has Jaguar done to destroy this once beautiful legacy. I was dreaming of finally being able to get a R75 Ftype, even used it as such a desirable car. But this week Jaguar told me they don't want me to own a Jaguar, they are interested in a different kind of demographic. I will reluctantly comply, RIP Jaguar.
This video is so nice to watch now that I've just bought one myself. It's surreal to drive something he loves
I was in an SL 55 AMG next to one of these and he wanted to race! I had 500 hp and I knew I’d blow him away…and then all I remember is seeing him pull off and he was gone at least a car and a half away! Get my new F type this week. Can’t wait!
