- CarGurus contributor, Clifford Atiyeh, invites you in for a look at his personal car: a 2017 Jaguar F-TYPE.
Sharp looks, great sound, and a manual transmission: what else could Cliff ask for in a daily driver?
Although it's not always the most practical car (just look at those blind spots), Cliff appreciates how the F-TYPE allows him to feel like he's living life to the fullest. When your job entails driving dream cars and then giving them back at the end of a week, it's nice to have your very own sitting in your garage every morning.

I bought a 2015 F-Type from CarMax two years ago for $48,000. The car had 19,00 miles on it and was virtually new. I paid CarMax $3,500 for a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty. Nothing better than that. New F-Types drop value like a rock, so better to buy used. In the two years I've had my F-Type I've had zero problems. And it's a gorgeous car. A piece of art, in a world where BMWs look like Hyundai's.
USD or CAD ?
M sport cars are beautiful as well, and the M2 Competition will have better driving dynamics, and be a better bang for your buck!🙂

And... my CPO (7Y/100K bumper to bumper warranty) 2014 F-Type has appreciated, not a lot, but its worth a chunk more than I paid 45K miles later. My 2011 M series was $50K and is now worth $8K (KBB) but needs a new clutch ($5K), a new top ($9K), has most of the warning lights permanently on, and has cost me a small fortune in repairs, already, raising my cost basis almost 100%.
Two ways to buy cars - buy consumer level, or buy collector worthy dream cars. Modern Jaguars are sort of the dividing line. The first goes to $0 and everything is lost, the second way is free to profitable.
I have a 2017 manual ftype coupe v6 340hp and get 26 mpg on average and thats mostly city. On a recent road trip I got 34 mpg at 70 mph over 400 miles. I was most surprised about the great gas mileage. Cheers brother! Never had a problem with it too.
Have a 2018 380hp V6 coupe it's definitely a fun daily :-) .. honestly I bought it for the looks and the sound.
I got a 2017 S V6 AWD this summer and absolutely love it! Welcome to the Club, Cliff!
I love it! Live your life man! So much going on right now! Nice review nice car!
I shopped a manual F-Type (convertible) when I was in the market, along with a Corvette convertible and the Boxster. While I ultimately when with the Boxster, I was very impressed by the way the F-Type drove as it was very fun and made awesome noises.
BTW, if you tap tap tap on the gas while in gear, you can make the exhaust pop and crackle on demand...that never gets old!
Beautiful car Cliff!
Great color and spec! Welcome to the Jaguar club!
Brilliant video. Very informative and passionate. What a beautiful car.
I picked up a 2018 model P-340 V6 R-Dynamic this week and it's absolutely awesome. I've upgraded from an Audi TT mk2 also manual. The F-type is a mix of sports car and luxury GT that sounds like a super car. It's amazing. 🇬🇧
You got the best F type. The V6 is way more fun than the overpowered R. Manual, great exhaust and 300 to 400 hp you can drive to the limit is the perfect mix. Enjoy, great video btw!
Completely. I may chip it to get to 400 hp, though I really don't need more power.
I completely agree with people judging me by my car. I am a woman who loves cars maybe even more than many men. I chose the 5.0 v8 AWD version in 2017 because I feel the acoustics of the exhaust is much better than ‘20 or ‘21’s plus I’m not that crazy about some of the changes they have made recently. I love daily driving mine and I’m hard pressed to find a car that I would equally enjoy as much as this.
Great video and a GREAT CAR!
Hi Clifford 🙂, great to see you on the channel. There's nothing wrong in having bought this car for you. Your reason for doing so is inspiring, also, I would have never known you are 31 years old. I was thinking between 25 to 27. Did you part ways with your Volvo S70?
I drive a '17 F Pace with same engine, even ECU Mapped to stage 1. No problems and drives amazing! My second car in the future would be an F Type :) What a beautiful car! Thanks for sharing.
Loved your review and equally your philosophy on life. I'm nearly 55 but on the verge of buying either a 2.0 turbo version, or a Cayman. Decisions decisions!
I'm looking into an f type / type S as well. Would be great sometime down the line to create a follow up video and note any issues long term.
Amazing bro, Iam 19 and have an F-Type R 2018 automatic and I freakin love it...sound and the pops never get old 🙏🏻
Awesome bro How’d you get it? I’m just turned 16 and want to get one before I’m 18
I bought the base F Type in May 2020. Best decision ever.
I love that you bought a F Type. Easily one of the most gorgeous cars ever made. So much better than the refresh version as well. Great taste. The Supercharged V6 with the manual is on my bucket list of cars. So happy a journalist supported the manual. Also like your hair like this much more
Thanks Blake, and for being a regular on this channel.
You guys having bucket list of cars😲
I test drove one a few years back and instantly fell in love but it was just a little too expensive to afford. I regretted it ever since. So I just bought one, because life is too short, and it's awesome!
Great review. I’m considering this car as well. I’m 6’4” just under 200lbs. How tall are you and how well do you fit?
Awesome, great job. For me it’s like drinking out of a fine tea cup with reckless abandon instead of keeping it in a cabinet forever
I didn't realize the visbility was that bad. Still a gorgeous car though.
Like the T-shirt. Did you print it ir buy it?
Great car! I am from connecticut also!
My 2014 F-Type V8 is still under factory warranty. I let you know if it costs a lot after it runs out.
Are you Canadian? I was surprised to hear the 80,000 dollar price tag. I have seen v6 and some v8 models below 60k USD.
it is a great looking car, but interesting to see "cost of owning a J" after a year. Good Luck!

After 2 years of ownership in about the same f-type, all I've had to do is gas and oil. Been a dream to own.
My CPO (7Y/100K bumper to bumper warranty--expired unused) 2014 F-Type has appreciated, not a lot, but its worth a chunk more than I paid 45K miles later.

congrats man, I think you've convinced me. I'm 32 and I really want a bimmer but I'm just too afraid to take the plunge. I can afford it, I'm just not sure I want to. I drive a Tacoma right now so I'm sitting with the reliability but man I really want a sport sedan.
Grab a three-year old 335i and you'll have a blast. Or the 435i Gran Coupe. Great cars, great value when used.
I’m curious, what did you end up doing? (I own a 3-series GT and a 5-series at the moment, for various reasons, and I love them. I’m looking at an F-Type.)
@@anthonydraper1231231 So I ended up going ancient with a 2014 CLS 550 for 28k and man I love it. Love that it looks more expensive than what I payed for it considering it was around 73k new. 402 hp is a blast. Do it man!
i've had about six cars with manual transmissions over the past 50 years. volkswagen bug, MGA, nissan 300 zx TT, ford ranger pickup, dodge ram pickup and an aston martin vantage. rarely stalled any of them. i stall the aston, it seems, at least once per outing. usually when in reverse. don't be embarrassed... i blame it on the transmission. :)
and generally, i don't like any wheels with more than five spokes (old-school "mag" influence i guess), but with even ten those wheels are very attractive! from the red center cap, the ba-relief ornamentation on each spoke, and the muted silver, they really add to the looks of the car.
V6 F-Type 6 speed models are very hard to find, though CarGurus did list three of them today. Maybe in a year...
Hi! Where did you get that F-Type/E-Type T-shirt? Thanks

That’s crazy I just bought a 2014 f type v8 s for 35k 😂😂😂 FULLY LOADED why spend anywhere close to 80k
In your research, were there any standout options they added in the later years that were not in the 2014?
I've tried searching for such and couldn't find much. They're virtually the same cars minus some very small new tech like apple/android features.
So sick you got a manual
Almost impossible to find one of these with a manual transmission....I only found one on Auto Tempest.
I've seen alot of 380hp V6 AWD F-Type's going for half that price in Germany.
if they offered the v8 with a manual i would have seriously considered it.
From what I’ve been seeing, the FType is all the rage among young folks. Often a step up from their previous car.
Can someone please help me find that awesome t-shirt with E-type / F-type on it?
Shit, they do come in manual?
Does it use Premium Gas?
When given the choice, I too would choose to grip a substantial knob with my hand. You're my kind of guy, Clifford.
Has anyone tuned their V6 340hp? I think you can chip tune it to over 400 hp
Literally just got this same exact car for 32k with 20k miles
I’m happy you have no visible tattoos “ 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’m looking at getting an R version. Likely next year. Jag ruined the car with the new front end.
I’ll buy your car if you don’t want it lol
She’s pretty
Jaguar a brand know for its great reliability......... hahahahahaha
I mean, no, but this one's fine. 5 year warranty with all maintenance included. Doesn't mean things won't happen down the line, it's just the cost of owning any specialty car like this.
U could have gotten a 2020 Vette for that price. That’s what I’m going to do.
A great choice, it's just not my style. Also I bought the car in 2017 so the C8 was a ways away!
A c8 fully stripped is that price . Have yet to see 1 that’s actually as cheap as they claim . And the ftype R will out perform a c8 any day .
I prefer my XK since I don't have to choose between which of my bitches I take with me since my beagle can go in the backseat.
Manual transmission,,,,hummmmm.
You must be a guy who drives the car opposed to the car driving you.
All car manufacturers should offer the choice of a manual transmission,,sadly
Jaguar discontinued the option.
Finally haircut to look like a man.
Great car and all you need is nice girl for road trip.
Or a nice boy
Bought a manual car, stalled it, had a panic attack and almost returned it? Sounds like a millenial thing
don't wait till you are stopped by a red light on an incline at a busy intersection and and some guy comes up tight behind you with an expensive car. ...talk about pressure. do your homework and practice at every opportunity so as to depart without rolling back into them. (hint: you can do it without using the parking brake or unduly burning the clutch.)
The F-Type is way overpriced, in terms of luxury, quality, interior, performance, everything. It does look nice on the outside, but that's about it. If you MUST have an F-Type, the 4 cylinder turbo is the way to go. Other than that, the SVR (now SV) is the only other option you should consider. Either going for the cheapest F-Type or the most expensive one. Either way, they're still not worth the money.
Your such a cutie
🤨😑
Good taste in cars too
Hahaha! This guy obvs not married or has any kids. Lol
Must be nice
This guy is obviously lying to himself strarting a video with how shallow and judgemental he is
Ugh. I knew car gurus was run by a foreigner. No thank you 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Loool wtf 😂 strange alien dude
