Time will tell how often this F Jag sits at the dealership; as reliability is not really mentioned on the same day as Jaguar or any British vehicle.

But yes, it looks nice! The color? Sorry Rosso Corsa belongs on another car, British Racing Green belongs on this one.

YMMV of course

You proven my point exactly your getting upset and you are coming off as a hater. Why is it that Porsche 911 drivers get upset when someone has a different opinion ? As a fellow Jaguar owner I been driving Jags for over 15 years and they have been the most reliable vehicles and the best vehicles I ever had. If you never owned Jags you wouldnt understand. My whole collection is Jags they are super reliable and cheap maintenance if you get the right tech. At the end of the day enthusiast have their opinions. To me Jags are my favorite cars of all time followed by Aston Martin which is my second favorite. Sure Porsche 911/718 does have some accolades and to many enthusiast is revered as some of the top sports cars but that's their opinion. When it comes to these high performance cars most people don't get the chance to push them to the limits, sure you have 0-60 times and these 600hp+ cars but theres only so much you can do when it comes to real world driving on the streets and the highway unless your taking them to the track. Furthermore their is a price to pay especially on the used car market. You can get a F-Type V6S or V8S or an R around 35k vs getting a Porsche 911 Turbo GT3 or 718 GT4 RS for around 130-200K+. When I got my F-Type V6S last year the amount of attention I received on the road was overwhelming. Went on a near 1400 mile trip and didn't see another F-Type in route but saw tons of Rolls Royces, Porsche 911 GT3, 718 GTS, M, AMG, Ferrari, Vette, etc drivers. At the end of the day its all about feeling and the F-Type brings that rawness, thrilling, excitement, awesomeness, uniqueness each and every drive and to me thats what maters the most when it comes to cars its all about how it makes you feel behind the wheel. This is something that the Porsche could not do its hard to explain. But there is nothing like driving a Jaguar F-Type and pulling up to Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls, M, Amg, etc owners and they get upset because your in a Jag F-Type getting all the attention the feeling is priceless.

 

I watched that video and now my youtube homepage is full of F-Type videos. I know I can just remove the video from my history to get rid of these, but it did make me chuckle.

 

The F-Type is aching beautiful in coupe form and with the V8 packs some real thunder and presence. Seriously considered this car before buying my first 911. However, the seat was a no go for me, no matter how many times I tried to get comfortable. At about 5'11" and 210 lbs, I don't think I am too big for any car. The pops and bangs from the car were ridiculous, and felt a bit juvenile. It would have been fun, but very likely a short term relationship with me taking a depreciation bath.

 

Maybe Youtube is giving the sign that its time to sell your Porsche 992 and get a Jag F-Type. I been driving Jags for over 15+ years for free and never loss any money on depreciation. Key is you have to get these cars used at 70-85% depreciation and drive the for 2-5 years and you can always get what you paid or make a profit.

 

An F-type will get attention out in the wild, because people are surprised that it’s not on a lift in a service bay or on a flat bed — the natural habitats for a JLR product.

This is a 992 Technical Forum on RennList. If you want to talk about the virtues of a discontinued Jaguar, there is a place to do that on RennList, but you shouldn’t do it here. Thread has been moved.

 

Ragebait or just trolling and trying to pump your YT channel?

F-type was a great car, key word was. Jaguar went woke and predictably going broke.

 

This could be true if the "cosmos" were in charge of YouTube. But, YouTube thinks I want to watch F-Type videos just because I watched one.

 

As I said, and I'm not hating anything, other than having worked on many British cars over the years like MG's, Hillman's, Jags, albeit some time ago whereas their design and engineering compared to other brands was "less than stellar".. My point was, if you had cared to read vs promoting your infatuation while denigrating the 911 owners (btw you do realize this is a 992 PORSCHE forum in case it slipped your attention) is that

RELIABILITY

of British cars over the years has been abysmal; I may add recently MB, Audi et al. have also taken a severe hit.

CR, not a fan but one more source has rated Jag reliability as poor.

But it looks good, but we'll see how often the car sits at the dealership.

Now let's get back to 992s, plenty of other places one can drool over Jaguars etc,

You Porsche guys are upset you come off as a hater proven the point. You never probably owned a Jag and most people haven't so they cannot speak on reliability or what they heard about reliability unless they owned several models from the brand. Ive owned several Jags and they been super reliable in fact more reliable than Porsche 911s. Lots of 911 owners have sold their 911s and purchased Jags instead. So dont speak or assume something you dont know about. I enjoy pulling up to Porsches, Ferraris, Lambos, Rolls, Bentleys, M, AMG owners to witness the envy and jealousy in there faces when the Jag gets all the attention amongst the crowds its a priceless pleasurable experience.

 

Plenty of sources have quoted reliability of Jaguars as poor. Please take your admiration to the appropriate forum please as this is a 992 one. Thank you

PS Yes, I did briefly own a Jag, it was a long time ago, don't remember the model other than it was a 4 door with the dual fuel tank, and it did not leave me with a stellar memory like my 68 Roadrunner for example.

 

Again your talking nonsense you never been a Jaguar owner. You cannot speak on reliability unless you owned several models for that particular brand and have the knowledge you cannot go by what you heard smh. I am and have been one for over 15+ years. Jags are the best and most reliable vehicles I have ever owned. Ive had several brands of cars in the past from Honda, Benzes, Ford, Nissan, etc. The Jags is always my go to cars.

 

Most 911 owners currently own or have owned cars from other automakers.
There's nothing out there that says you can own only one car and people with 911 money tend to have money to own other cars as well.
Personally, I don't buy cars to make people envious or jealous. I am a driving enthusiast. I don't care what people think. I like that a 911 doesn't draw much attention in the northeast.

Jaguar stopped making the F-type a couple years ago. At the moment, there are 17 used examples near me that can be had for less $30k with the cheapest being $23k. They have been sitting for sale so long, that you could probably snare one for $20k or less. If anyone is truly envious or jealous, it's not like an F-type is expensive or hard to find. In a few more years, you'll find them in the teens, because there's no bottom on that depreciation curve.

"Lots of 911 owners have sold their 911s and purchased Jags instead." -- If this was true, Jaguar wouldn't be rebooting the whole company around luxury EVs.
