2022 Jaguar F-Type R Review // Don't Buy That 911 Just Yet
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 พ.ค. 2022
- The 2022 Jaguar F-Type R AWD ($136,760 in Canada, $121,800 in the US) is a supercharged V8 sports coupe, with an exhaust note that backs up its ferocious looks. Optioned as an R model with its available 575 horsepower engine and all-wheel drive, Jaguar claims a rapid 3.5 seconds 0-60 mph time. But how does it perform when driven spiritedly, or used as a daily driver? And at its price point, how does it compete with some rather serious competition? Thomas and James aim to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!!

More cushy than a Porsche, more classy than a Corvette, more sporty than a Lexus, more rowdy than an Aston, more fun than a BMW. This thing truly is in a class of its own, and I love it.
Well, not 100% sure about some of that… my 2020 Aston Vantage in its most aggressive mode is pretty dang rowdy 😝 shouting and popping and snapping without needing a ton of encouragement 😂
Well said!
@rmTheWalrus Maybe not more rowdy than an Aston but more affordable, I reckon.
PLEASE have a full review cause this car is so underated now
Why do you think it's underrated? It got great reviews when it originally came out.
@@romanempire88 no one talks about it
@@romanempire88 it’s not underrated but just not enough people know or care about it for some reason
Good let’s keep it that way … I’ve been trying to buy one for a year now and they’re up 10-15k just for the v6
They're not underrated. People just get past the amazing sound stage and realize it's still a Jag. I think it looks good and the sound is to die for but I still wouldn't buy one.
Used to have a 2016 F-Type V8 R AWD Convertible (mouthful, I know). Had SO much grip, and felt phenomenally planted without feeling heavy. Was never really pushed 10/10ths, but certainly hard enough. Loads of confidence, and in 2016 the interior and tech was acceptable, though not that impressive now. Being a 2016, it crackled and popped like a maniac. I remember many a peaceful summer sunrise being interrupted by what sounded like an automatic rifle being let off in the village center… but no, it was the Jag. Miss it dearly.
I had a 2016 manual. Didn't have the V8 power, but plenty for a daily driver. Sadly it got rear ended, and they are so rare that finding another was too much work.
The supercharged V6 manual was (and still kinda is) one of my daily driver dream cars. Is it really that good of a car or do I have it on a pedestal it doesn’t deserve?
For reference, I love Miata’s and have owned a few. Currently have a C6 corvette and am not big on tech BS in my cars. Sorry to hear yours got rear ended man.
Yup I had a 2017 R AWD Cabrio Also… I should never have sold it… I still think there is/was nothing that can match it. It was the ultimate spec for the $$
I currently have a '17 R and have had it for a year now. Still love it like the first day i bought it. Still turn around to look at it every day before i walk in the house
2018 SVR Convertible, here. Pops and crackles on command with the little trick the guys on The Straight Pipes showed us. Rides like a Grand Tourer. Corners like it's on rails. Punches you in the back when you stomp on it. Literally have to massage my face from smiling so much when I come in from driving it ... Guys like the noise, ladies like the looks.
My uncle's F-type spoiler went up and refused to come down.
Jaguar Teleservice told him about the switch as if my uncle didn't know it existed.
Jaguar service dept in Vancouver says it will be two weeks before they can look at it but if it's what they suspect, the part which malfunctioned will be 4-6 weeks out on backorder. But they still need to see the car before they can submit the warranty claim.
So if you see a elderly Asian man parking his White F-Type with Red interior in Richmond and the spoilers up, he's not a douchebag (at least not to his nephew)
awesome!
Your uncle sounds like a cool dude 😅
Greetings from across the Strait of Georgia!
In that combo with red leather it better be cabrio. Coz that combo is a houz-magnet
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
@@patrickdej2696 Uncle Kai has run the gamut of software resets. Shutting the car on and off. Disconnect battery and reattaching it. Don't want to do anything more extreme seeing that the car is still under warranty
11:25 James shifts to Sport mode, Thomas glances at the shifter. James downshifts, slams down the throttle. Thomas: OMG. His heads get slammed back.
Man I loved that moment
I've owned a 911 C4S and an F-Type R. Very different driving experiences. Yes, the 911 is, overall, a more comprehensive package and better driver's car. But (1) 911s are a dime-a-dozen where I live and (2) the F-Type is a monster all the time; it doesn't have an 'off' button for its unabashed childishness so it's a blast to drive no matter where you're going.
Well..... Porsches are more reliable and yes, the better driving car. There is no reason to choose a Jag over a Porsche.
@@jody024 : Disagree. It depends on your tastes. I have a Jaguar F-Type, a Jaguar XF and a Range River Velar (all JLR products) and they’ve proven to be very reliable l. The Porsche was well built, of course, but not entirely trouble free. If you’re looking for a smooth, polished experience then Porsche is the way to go (especially if it’s your daily driver). If you’re looking for something more exciting, brutish and (IMO) more fun then the Jaguar is the way to go. Plus, you only live once. Why buy the same car again and again?
@@jody024 Bore scoring. Coolant tube glue. IMS is rare, but the other two are not rare....just wait to see how bore scoring will kill the M96 cars.....it will. No, Porsches are not more reliable. That is hooey and I owned two of them.
@@jody024 as a German let me tell you, generalization is stupid
@@jody024 F-Types are more than the sum of their parts - trust me. However I've never owned a 911 so I can't really compare, only a Boxster S & Cayman S; both were fantastic cars but I'd still have the F-Type all day every day.
Oh & the worst out of action event I had on my three F-Types over 4 years was the head unit on the infotainment malfunctioning where I couldn't use he sat nav or phone. Jag had it for 3 days & I was given a F-Pace as a courtesy car. Nothing else was a problem except having to replace the rear tyres once every year. 😁
This is an absolute bucket list car for me. I will own one of these one day. I would much rather have one of these over a 911. Oddly enough I'd rather have the first gen because I think it looks better but I'll settle for one of these too
DITTO!
yeah they really fucked up the headlights on this gen its such a bummer
I think the selling point of any car similar to a 911 is if they have a larger engine. The V8 is absolutely the reason to get this over a 911.
If you want the loud hey look at me motor this is for sure the one. If you're a guy who wants amazing quality and an iconic shape you get a 911.
Same I love the new lights
Oh damn the pepperage farms and the Amber Heard jokes. You guys are the funniest yet most informative auto review channel. Can’t get enough. Love these Jaguar F type because I own an 18 F Pace s which was the fastest until the SVR broke the scene. Keep up the great reviews.I like that AWD because I’m assuming Faster 0-60. Love the “gives up the rear end a lot faster”. Classic throttle house jokes.
Okay
Okay ✅
Okay ✅ what do
I was waiting for the tail end of that joke. Like giving up the rear like an only fans model
Hahaha, James was on fire!
This is the best version of a supercharged engine to me because you can hear it but it doesn’t dominate the noise. PERFECTION
I 💯💯agree bro
I like how the Jaguar F Type R (SVR), Nissan GT-R, BMW M4 CS, Lotus Evora, BMW M8, and base Porsche 911 have similar $90-$110K+ market audiences. All of them are such beautiful 2 doors, sometimes with 4 seats. I hope they all sell very well.
It’s interesting how different their buyer’s mindsets are from those that are “budgeting up” to the two door ~$50K Toyota Supra, Nissan Z, Infiniti Q60 RS, Audi TT, Ford Mustang Mach 1, and ~$60K base C8 Corvette/Porsche Cayman/BMW Z4/Alfa Romeo 4C/Alpine A110 world.
The value proposition of the c8 corvette is that it competes with all of the cars you named above
@@golfinguru11 c8 is much more a gt car than full out sports car like a M4 cs and r evora or even a jag , i think the Z06 Will be a much better comparison
@@anandpushkar7510 false. a stock c8 is quicker around the nurburing than an m4 cs AND the new m4 competition.
@@anandpushkar7510 it beats an m4 in every performance category you can name. Why do people insist on comparing a compact sedan platform to sports cars? BMW makes a sports car, it’s called the m8 (and it’s shit lol)
I had a supercharged C7 Corvette before my F Type R and the only thing i really miss every now and then is top down driving.
You guys are the best car reviewers ever. I’ve watched both channels for a while and I love them all! My father in law had a beautiful 68 e type and he let me take his daughter ( my future wife) to our 68 high school prom and I was in heaven. This was my first introduction to import cars and I was hooked.
The 2018 face-lift (Sport 400) is definitely the sweet spot for me for these. It's like the first Gen face-lift r8, the lighting elements clean up the front while keeping the nice lines and proportions of thr original concept
Except they all have yellow piping on a black interior & you can only get them in silver, black or white iirc with those tacky yellow 400 badges & slightly garish body trim - urghh. I had a silver one
@@philiphudgens4726 still a good car tho
I was literally just thinking this, 1 year later, looking to buy an F-Type. I looked and a 2019 SVR here is now at least twice as much as an R... That's not really worth it. The Rs are a crazy car at the price. They didn't get cheap though, just less expensive.
Working at JLR it's great to see these honest reviews guys.
god that V8 sounds SO aggressive, I love how Jag has never bothered with lowering the noise with mufflers and filters, but I've only read negative things with the service/maintenance of these cars :(
Actually they did lower the noise and muffle it with the newer ones, and there’s a certain software version that will lower the exhaust note on the older ones
I have a 2016 one and the exhaust is more aggressive than the newer ones
@@yashkin6192 yes but aftermarket is your best friend for crazy exhaust ❤️
@@esthetics4512 yes, but mine is still stock
@@yashkin6192 that’s good but for crazy petrol heads we straight pipe even when it’s not necessary
I do like the look of the old one better but that v8 sounds amazing.
The problem is the old one (2016+) had an even better V8 sound, also had AWD and only had about 25 less HP. Honestly I don't see too many reasons to buy the new one when only the displays were updated and the lights which arguably look worse than before, and it only sounds good after 3500 RPM or so.
@@iSOBigD old one is better looking plain and simple
@@iSOBigD not a better sound sound is the same the previous versions simply hav crazier sounds due to the software
@@esthetics4512 @ESTHETICS😎 I guess it's about the same, but at all RPMs not just over 3500, and with lots of pops! It really stood out compared to American V8s and the AMG engines, I love it!
The old V8 sounds _even more amazing_ as the guys covered in this vid
I got to spend a little time on the track in one of these pre-covid (I'm assuming it's a bit more refined now). It was a riot, and while I'm normally a RWD, the AWD system didn't bother me at all. When you weren't at the absolute edge it felt very RWDy to me.
This is such a great car. I wish Jaguar got the hype and attention it deserved.
I feel the same way, I have a Ftype V6 S and I prefer it over my M4, so much more fun. I am not a track guy so I feel right at home in the Jaaaaag.
Unfortunately the Internet loves to slag on Jag so that doesn’t help.
You're missing the big picture
Less attention means it depreciates quicker and we can buy them for cheaper if going for second hands
amazing content as always guys. i had a feeling that you will upload today. btw Thomas, love your Omega Seamaster.
A Jag review! Been waiting for this. Keep up the stellar work gentlemen. Cheers from North Carolina.
Currently have had a Italian Red '17 F Type R for over a year now. Still love it like the first day i bought it. I turn around to look at it before i go in the house every day.
I still do that with my 07 XKR. Somehow they still haven't ruined those truly classic lines.
@@life_of_riley88 I agree. Timeless beauties
That car is freaking gorgeous! I absolutely LOVE that color! And I disagree with the comments about the front end. I think it looks sleek and aggressive. Maybe a little too Audi-esque, but I really like it.
The problem is, the front end now looks like every other car on the road. It has lost its unique look and just looks so bland and generic now (face).
I'm torn, I do like the older face and I resisted this one to begin with but it has grown on me - it's just a shame that every other car has the same look now.
Great James humor in just the first 50 seconds. I can’t wait to finish the whole piece!
That camera angle showing the dashboard is awsome. I haven’t seen you use it before in extra throttle house, but i think many people would prefer to see that angle some time during the review. It’s usually neglegted in many car reviews; only the ‘autotop nl guy uses it.
I’ve watched pretty much all of your vids btw. Thank you
I've recently had the itch to pull the trigger on the new Z, but every time I do, I remember I can get one hell of a used F-Type in the same price range as the new Z! Happy owner of one of the greatest modern sleepers: Jaguar XFR
I love my 2015 V8 S Convertible RWD. It feels very solid with the beefy tires, and makes all the necessary pops and bangs from the exhaust. I wouldn't trade it in for anything. Perfect summer car to either cruise in, or take out for a fun joy ride.
What was the mileage when you first got it compared to now? Ima a corvette guy but the exhaust note on that car piques my interest… do they hold up well maintenance wise?
Yes! 🙌🏾 finally a Jaguar review. I have been waiting patiently. I hope you do an actual F-Pace review since they redesigned them last year. 🤞🏾
My 2017 F-Type R was 550HP and AWD and was an AWESOME car to drive. I HATED the infotainment in the thing but I was able to keep up and run down 911 GTSs, M3s and M5s due to those combinations and my driving skill (slightly above average). The sound was HEAVENLY. The only model above was the SVT that my brother in law bought. MSRP was $118K as it had the full leather option interior and a few other things. I paid $85K for it late in 2017. LOVED it but unfortunately we lost it to an un attentive foreigner who was late for a round of golf who ran into the rear of it at 45MPH as we were stopped in a turning lane. I would probably buy another new one over a used 911 since it's the "last hurrah". Spoiler goes up when speed exceeds 85MPH
Such underrated cars.
I’ve been a huge fan of Jags cars since late 2010s and I gotta say, the best rendition of this car was the 2018 “face refresh” in the coveted SVR variant. Now _that_ was the F-Type in its prime; Gorgeous styling, commanding presence, and an engine note and exhaust pops that were 2nd to none.
This version is “cool/okay” but nowhere near the levels of the aforementioned.
Ohhh yessss i have been asking for this at least it got an extra throttel house review
Yes finally another jag video! Thank you!!!
FINALLY🥳🥳 love this car.
Btw, just bought a kia stinger and absolutely love it. Time to tell everyone on the planet until I start talking to trees.
“I don’t think it’s an Amber Heard level of shit the bed” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Take a bow, sir.
Picked up a 2020 model and absolutely love it, still not sure about the new front but it is starting to grow on me the more I see it
That noise...........luv it. Worth the price. Reminds me of the original C55 I had a chance to drive in the early 2000s.
Man those upshifts are lightning quick and crisp. Just bam bam bam. Love that. Also I think this car is more special that a 911 cause it's more rare.
The best looking F Type is the mild-facelift update from 2018 to 2020 before they changed the headlights completely. Compared to the original model the headlights were updated to LED's and the front bar was tidied up a bit so it looks much fresher than the earlier models and doesn't have that same feeling of looking "old" compared to the new ones. I did have a 2018 V6 supercharged that I loved so I may be biased
Best first minute of an ETH so far. Love it.
I love Jags 🥰 What a great video to watch on my birthday!
Loved the looks of the old design. Brought be back to the years where I would cut out pictures from auto show brochures and tape them on my wall. I thought it had just the right amount of elegance and sports car presence. This one looks thoroughly anonymous--or like an AMG GT with less interesting curves.
looks like the new 400z. not sure what that says about it whether its good or bad considering the 400z is brand new.
I very much agree with the opinion on the styling, when I first saw the new design I was not overly impressed and immediately looked up the much loved old design to compare. Suddenly it looked old even though it always looked great.
Those upshifts sound INSANE on this car! Crazy how it shifts so well and sounds so smooth
So true what you said at the beginning about the design of the old and the new version… crazy
Also no theory on gunshot exhaust. They software updated to eliminate it, part of the recall when they burn up o2 sensors and cats. New models come sound neutered
Emissions (GPF) and new exhaust noise regulations is the reason.
Exactly with a simply aftermarket it can be rowdy 🔥
@@esthetics4512 or do what i did, remove fuse 15 😎
@@BluestofFalcons you sir are a menace but I applaud that 👏 💯
Great video! This car was fantastic when we owned the pre-facelift of it, it was an absolute unit! The reliability of the engine kills me, twice it has blown for me and once the SC. Keep that warranty handy! Despite that I miss it since switching to the C8, great car overall but the raw power of that F-type R was something else.
Had a 2016 R, pushed it hard for over 65k miles! Thankfully never had any issues. Most reliable performance car IMO. Funny thing is I borrowed a 2014 camry and it left me stranded lol
@@maxpower201They pretty reliable for sure
What mileage did you have when it blew the first and second time? And what year model did you have?
@@FunkyBananaBear roughly 20k for each and was a 2016. Oil levels were kept reasonably.
I have one of the 1,000 or so Manual transmission F-types sold in America. LOVE it.
Having owned an XF Sport Brake with the V6 Supercharged Jaguar is building some fun cars. The looks were stunning and with AWD plus 380hp surprisingly quick. Hats off to them
Friend of mine who is a LeMans LMP2 driver has a fleet of personal vehicles including the 812SF, v12 manual Aston, etc... still prefers his 2015 Type R as a preferred daily drive. I agree the old one is much better looking.
Can't wait to drive one of these, i really feel like they're under-represented and unappreciated
Extra Throttle House = quality of most other car reviews.
Regular Throttle House = best review on the internet.
“It was a Mega Pint of wine” - This made me subscribe
I’ve owned one for years and love the car. I rarely see one on the road which is a bonus to me. Sadly they depreciate horribly which I expected.
I have a very low mileage minty 2017 F Type SVR and I absolutely love it. I have had the crank pulley changed, 200 cell sport cats and downpipes added, and a tune from VAP and it made an already fast car much faster. Above 3500 RPM it is a rocket ship. I went between the AMG GT and the SVR for a couple of months but chose the SVR as the ultimate F Type model rather than a more base model AMG GT. The SVR is a pleasure to drive anywhere, and I don't think it's overly stiff when you have the adjustable adaptive suspension setting at the softest setting. I think they are just beautiful and classy sports cars, and I do agree that the older style of headlights looked better than the new ones. The only feature I like better on the new F Type R is the front grill which lacks the crossbar the earlier style had. Some of the special SVR-only parts have now made it to the regular R model like the rear diffuser and the 575 HP tune, whereas before the R was 550HP. Anyway, great little review of a great car.
I have a 2016 awd R , just got my down pipes tune and pulley from vap. Heard great things about products looking forward to it!
The AMG GT is pig ugly so you made a good choice. It looks hideous.
I have a '17 SVR as well, and I'm considering a pulley/tune. Have you had any issues? Are you on 91 octane?
The only reason I haven't done it yet is because I'm in the middle of nowhere. However, I'm moving to a metropolitan area (in Texas) and look forward to finding a tuner for this platform.
@@amathern The only tuner to use IMO is Velocity Automotive Performance in Canada or just search VAP Automotive Performance. They have been doing R&D on the F Type for a long time, and everything I have gotten from them has been really good, from the parts to the tune. They are also very helpful if you need it, they will answer or return your call every time (often the owner of the company himself), and they are close to introducing a full E-85 package for the F Type, the first of any of the shops that specialize in this model.
I have had no problems at all with their products or my car since I went with them. The ONLY negative thing I can say is I thought the 200 cell cats and down-pipes sounded bad on my car, but some of that is probably due to the factory cat-back Titanium exhaust that comes on the SVR. Titanium creates a higher pitch naturally, and their downpipes made it too metallic. *WITH THAT SAID, they fixed that issue by making a custom set of downpipes and 200 cell sport cats for me that included in-line small-diameter resonators, and that made ALL THE DIFFERENCE!* *They sound GREAT!!!* *These custom-built resonated downpipes pipes are no longer a special order-only deal, they are NOW A STANDARD EXTRA COST OPTION you can choose on the website.* I would recommend getting the resonated version to any buyer, whether they are an SVR or R owner. They just sound better in tone, pitch, and volume than the non-resonated version.
I had ZERO problems with the crank pulley and the engine and trans tune for two years. My wife even ran a 10.9 1/4 mile in it after running an 11.1 and 11.0 over and over again. I just installed their supercharger pulley last week, along with a new belt and some other maintenance parts. Its a great design for the pulley in that it uses a heat-fit stainless steel hub and a bolt-on Grip-Tec treated pulley that you can swap in minutes. The factory pulley is a single press-fit assembly that is tedious to change. I haven't had a chance to finish it quite yet, but just need to install the new tune for it and the trans tune they sent me. Hopefully this weekend I will get it done. That should make the car a consistent 10.6 to 10.9 car in the 1/4. As you can probably tell, I do A LOT of research on any car part I use before I try it, and I have no doubt it will RELIABLY make the car faster. That is a big thing with VAP, they do not want to tune your engine to run on the ragged edge where it might have a little more power but it is super-hard on the engine. Their tune gets the most they can out of the engine and SC without over-stressing it to the point of being unreliable or breaking parts on the car. I live in KY and all of the gas stations here have 87, 89, and 93 octane. I run 93 all of the time in this car, but will absolutely swap it to E85 like my HCREWB Challenger when the kit is ready that they are developing.
I just subscribed, solely on your pops and bang analogy🤣🤣🤣
How the new designs dates out the previous better flowing lines is so interesting
A definite want. So glad Jaguar is still being Jaguar. Beautifully brash and charming.
Indeed 💯💯
Yep! The refresh sadly changed for the worse what was arguably one of the most beautiful cars on the road. Still looks better than the German offerings, but it's a Jag and the fashion police don't like Jags.
Just goes to show how individual this issue is. Most people don’t agree from what I can tell, but the front of the original design was the only aspect of the car that I wasn’t a huge fan of. I personally love what the redesign delivered for the front end. Most definitely looks more up-to-date and better. I do have the sense I’m in the minority on this though. The rear though? Pretty much universally loved from what I can tell. It’s the bomb. The diffuser on the newest iteration of the R is just what it needed to make an already incredible look that much more incredible.
I recently purchased the new F Type and just love driving it. Its a real beast and a head turner.
big fan when they first came out. the V6 on full chat sounds 👌
Even just watching that acceleration and those up shifts look so fun
I think one thing that is misses is that the F-type is having a massive resurgence on 2nd hand market. For the price of a used one, it hard to find a nicer and better performing car and for that reason its becoming a very desirable used car. Maybe more so than when it was new.
Perhaps it’s like the Maseratis & people don’t trust used Jags engines & their reliability?
Omg 🤣 the first comparison. Coming out swinging. It's a thing of beauty.
Nice to see Thomas rocking an Omega SMP. Great choice! 👍
My GF owns one of the 2014 XKR-S GT sold in Canada. I’m a Porsche 911 fanboy but her Jag is in a league of its own. Such an amazing driving experience.
They really messed up the headlights on this most recent model
I'm looking at getting one of these, perfect timing!
Just love this channel
As "dated" as the gorgeous original front end may look, I think it would've been more profitable to stay truer to it's design and keep a wider range of engines available, with at least 2 options so that us poorer folk could have a hope and a dream of one day being able to afford one, even if it didn't end up being the full bore V8 big cat that we all want. With such a drastic change to the front end (while still good looking), I feel like anything that has the orignal styling will be worth significantly more than used examples of this design once they become "old".
It's like they tried to fit it with Audi headlights.
Everyone save those with a new car in hand prefer the older car....silly move. The older car was unique..this is audi/mazda ish. Not bad, but not special. Look how great Porsche does with their "old" headlight with LED's....they could have done the same sort of evolution of the old front end....
The 2018 facelift was the best iteration of this car visually. Still looks modern.
Love my 2019 R. Still has the exhaust note. So much fun to drive. The roads in Hawaii absolutely suck so a 911 just wasn’t driveable at all. I use a Porsche SUV as a daily driver and the F Type when I want to have fun.
I'm looking to buy the 2016 F Type R coupe in black. I can't believe how affordable that year is. You can find a nice one from 50-65k depending on the trim, and mileage. I did my research and although the 2015 is nice, the 2016 is the first rear with AWD. This is truly a luxury GT-R for a much cheaper price.
Maybe I have bad taste, well, yeah that’s more than likely. But i like this front end more. I always felt like the F-Type had something off about the front end, and this Facelift fixed it for me, I do think it could look MORE like the previous gen, but the new headlights? MAN! they’re sexy.
exactly the same - find this so much more stunning
So I'm guessing you find the headlights of a Hyundai sexy too? The new headlights look so generic and blends in with every other car on the road. There's nothing unique about the new face.
Not an amber heard sh.t in the bed made me crack up thanks for the laugh
So cool seeing you guys on very familiar roads in my neighborhood!!! Should have given it some gas in the twisties on Blind Line... lol...
James with all the fire in the beginning of the video.
“It’s not a hellcat, more like a purgatory cat” 😂😂😂
Bastards, 2 years of asking for this and 1 month after i sold mine. Miss it, but too many mechanical issues to trust out of warranty imo.
And I'm retarded and bought a 2nd one
At 11:27, loved the mischievous smile on James before he floored on Thomas unexpectedly.
Love the engine rip & snarl of the Jaguar F-Type
Still extremely pretty car. But I just see R8 in the front now
On an unrelated note, it's great to see you guys back in Ontario. After doing so many brilliant reviews in the US, i was worried we were going to lose you guys to the Americans, as you guys have had some amazing success lately. You're both national treasures!
Price is a really good deal, considering that we are living in a world of $100,000 Ford trucks!! I remember people saying they couldn't afford a $60,000 to $80,000 BMW or Mercedes but look where we're at now...$80,000 Dodge Rams/F150's/Silverados
Couldn’t agree more, these are actually pretty obtainable used, and with the styling of the 2018 and older models along with the factory pops and bangs, I would absolutely love to own one some day after college and hopefully med school. A guy at our church drives a dark red f type R and it’s unmistakably beautiful.
These things make one of the best exhaust tones of any car any where. It’s deep but still gravelly and raspy and it’s actually loud lot more them you would think of a Jag! Or the ones I have heard was! Now the smaller motor isn’t noting special but that big V8 is music to my ears!
Those up shifts hit just like my GLC 43. Didn’t expect that from a supercharged V8.
Problem with the new f type is the main appeal of getting an f type was the sound and looks. And both have been dulled down, you'd buy an f type over a 911 because you wanted the amazing looks and the ridiculous sound which it now lacks
💯
Still looks better than any base 911 Carrera ,still sounds really good, before the exhaust was obnoxious now it is what it should have been from the beginning ,much more symphony than shouting which i prefer
@@anandpushkar7510 yeah I guess its preference, most people prefer the obnoxious sound because it's unique. It's a good GT car still
@@STRENGTH444 i agree , personally I would like to enjoy my car but not by disturbing the people around me , a cold start on those old f type V8 wakes up the entire neighborhood lol
Hard to beat a rowdy V8. Especially in today's vehicles
Facts
No replacement for Displacement. Add a supercharger for punch when you want it RIGHT FRIGGING NOW. lol.
@@scottcrawford3745 that car has a supercharger
Loved this vid
Great review of the car I want at the moment. Also, nice seamaster.
Shouldn't this be compared to the 718 not 911? They are both 2 seater sports-cars and the entire line-up and performance is much more comparable.
Yup! Had a family member consider this vs a Boxster back in 2013. Went for the Porsche which was a great choice.
@@hypergram. In terms of speed, the Boxster or Cayman don't stand a chance. So it's a much more fair comparison against the 911, those backseats are pointless anyway.
@@robertcalinescu78 They do though, the GTS 4.0 and GT4/Spyder have identical performance stats to the F-Type R (3.5s 0-100 and 11.6s 1/4). If anything, I think the 718 line-up beats every comparable model in the F-Type line-up and you know that Porsche will consistently hit those numbers run after run. Will the Jag though?
@@MrRandomTwat true, but you’ll see 1000 Porsches and maybe 1 f type.
@@BluestofFalcons And those Porsches will all sound like utter cr@p.
Have a 2016 with awd, v6 S. Better looking and the gauges actually are sort of cool with differing fonts...very track car.
Amazing, beautiful, fast, sounds F1, all one could need on the street....the R has "too much" power and one has to always watch it...the 400 is about as much as you can use safely all day every day. And the 2016 had the hugging adjustable side bolsters.... I added wireless carplay and now it is just perfect. Way better looking than a 911 and can take a big suitcase for long trips with easy... Best sleeper supercar out there. Oh, CPO for 2 years when bought in April for under 40k usd.....the best deal out there by far. Colors to get for long term: green, dark blue, silver. Done. It gets a lot of love from everyone. 911's don't get love. Nor do caymans/boxters. If you buy used well, you are way, way ahead.
Had a 996tt track modded with ohlins. Prefer life with the F-type. Not heavy feeling. The only thing I wish it had was better front corner visibility - but as you go hard the car shrinks and feele more and more nimble. Under 30mph it feels big. Repeat, under 40k out the door with 2 years of warranty. Deal of the century. Likely not cheap to keep but wow what a car. Not everyone has one too....and I like that. No, it is not a track car. It is the car you get after you tire of the track car and realize you want a car to drive long, winding roads with on the way to something special (and every day). The F type makes grocery shopping a cool experience.
1 year later. No issues at all.
More reliable than my subaru's, porsches, and volvo's.
2 years later. Still, no issues. Tuned to 550hp on e85 and 475hp on 93 ....usually in normal gas mode and it is wonderful....just about 500hp, utteryly reliable, and under 40k. Tune and metal coolant pipe preventive maintenance and fluids and no issues. Lovely car.....way more reliable than a 911....and frankly way more timeless looking. I plan to keep it.
The refresh looks much more modern and it matches the rear design better as well in my opinion.
Saw one of these at a dealership. It looks really sharp.
And I really like both the coupe and the convertible
why Thomas looks like Blake Shelton? he looks a bit american
Its the clothes and his iconic hair
Probably went into the dealer for repairs immediately after this video. Great car, as long as you have a Porsche to drive when this one spends WAY too much time in the shop. My son used to work at our local JLR dealer and told me that the reliability of these things sucks. Most Jag dealers stay alive on shop profits and not on the miniscule sales.
So fun fact my dad has daily driven his 2018 ftype r for a year and has never had any sort of repairs. What is costing him the most is replacing the tires frequently. Also he is surprised by the fact that he can get nearly 30mpg on the highway. So, it has been a pretty great purchase so far.
C5 corvette is a fraction of the money, has a 200,000 mile engine and can be fixed with on the shelf autozone truck parts and a hammer when/if it does break and has pop up headlights. 911s don’t go to 200k, aren’t DIY friendly and parts are hard to get and very expensive
@@Iamthestig42069 A fraction of the price and a fraction of the cool factor and performance.
Factor in confirmation bias. Ask any dealer mechanic if he thinks the cars they sell are reliable. By definition, all they see are problems. That's true for ALL brands, including Porsche.
@@kurtbilinski1723 Absolute nonsense. My 991 C2S has had only normal maintenance for 8 years. Brakes and tires are pricey, but modern 911's are very reliable.
I've love Jaguars for 60 years. A friend let me drive his restored '74 E-Type back in the early 1990's - and it was awesome. If I ever win the lottery, an F-Type will land in my garage. There's always a faster, better performer, but cool is cool.
I have an ftype R and love it!!
Lmao the Amber Heard joke
I’m buying the 911 over this 10 times outta 10.
And I am not.
This would be great as a full video on Throttle House
When I fill mine up - I consider it like when I visit the amusement arcade card refill station. I am just buying fun. FANTASTIC car.
Maybe Im weird, but i actually like this front better than the old f-types front
I do too I was kinda surprised they called it unattractive compared to the old one
Same. Never a big fan of the previous front end design, with the lower air intakes sticking more outward on both sides then the headlights it just doesn't look right. The new one to me is a perfect blend of understated elegance and aggression, and it actually matches the rear end design better than the old one. Love it!
