      Canadian quota is small. I see maybe one a week in Vancouver. I test drove the R V8 but it was insane. I drive up the road to Safeway !...They sourced my car in Calgary and shipped it. Brand new...warranty et al. It is base 340 V6, but had $10,000 of options. Glass roof etc.....MSRP was $89,000, but I spent 2 weeks negotiating, and was happy with the deal in the end. I drive it permanently in dynamic mode (think we all do)....I like annoying people and my neighbours complain about the noise. YES !!!!!Be serene.M.

It came down to that or a 911 997 and if i got that id have to change the stock exhaust bc its blah and the rims and maybe even lowering springs but with the jag i dont have to change a thing. So im waiting for a 14-16 silver or white with red interior to pop up near me. The jag does sound epic! The poppin on the downshift is sick! Thanks again

  • @Diomedes01

    I recently purchased a 2016 F Type. White with a manual transmission. It truly is an incredible machine. One thing I will state is the seats are a little stiff. Maybe I am just noticing because my other car, which is an Acura TL sedan, has very comfortable seats. But overall, it really is an incredible ride. And quite smooth actually. I had half expected a rougher ride due to being a sports car with stiffer suspension. But in actuality, it rides quite nice.

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  6 лет назад

    Thanks Ped, for a lovely review - I really enjoy your channel. As a Brit living abroad (Romania) I wanted a sports car and if it could be British too then even better! For almost 2 years now, I've been a very lucky and happy owner of a V6 S convertible in Italian Racing Red and I love it to bits. F-Types are rarer than hen's teeth here so I imported a 2015 model from Germany with just 23,000 kms on the clock and it drives like new. The pops and bangs make any day a good/great day. I haven't driven it on the famous Transfagarasan highway yet, but perhaps that's something to keep for this coming summer. All the best!

  • @BruceRosenblatt
    @BruceRosenblatt 8 лет назад +7

    To answer your question, I do not have the SVR but I do own the V8 soft top. The performance of the car is absolutely incredible. I traded in my SL65 AMG for the Jag so I get the performance factor. The exhaust sound is that much more intense and the horsepower difference truly puts the car on the border of supercar status. The total driving experience of this car is unmatched in this price category. Yes I have driven a 911 Turbo but definitely does not get the smile on your face the Jag does!

    Partly based on your excellent review (thank you!), I bought one of these two days ago. 65 plate £28,000 with a lot of extras. Like you, I'm left almost speechless. Just a GREAT car and, secondhand, it represents really good value at this point. Driving cars and riding motorcycles for 45 years, this is the best vehicle I've owned...and I've been lucky enough to own some very well-regarded (and expensive) vehicles over the years. Coming up 63, I guess I'm the classic later life silver haired crisis purchaser (the neighbours are already whispering) but I couldn't give a t*ss! 👍😁

But I think as an overall package when you consider the looks, the character (of the car and engine) and how it makes you feel, Jaguar have scored big time with the F-Type...! I'd buy one over a Porsche in a heartbeat.

    I now own one of these. Its a brilliant car, heavy on fuel though. Its best enjoyed in the countryside. If I lived in a city with lots of congestion, I would not get one- speed limits are 20-30 mph, you can't enjoy it.

    I really enjoyed this video - I own a Jag XXj with a similar but earlier version of that engine, but at my age I only just trust myself in th saloon version. You’re right about breaking the law. - it is all too easy, luckily I live in the country and know the roads around here, which aren’t as busy as I was used to when I lived in West Sussex. And yes I still like being able to exceed the Ton!

    The "noisy exhaust" button is to get around noise regulations.

  • @gianniferrari1122

    • @JWL-UK

      It sounds like a classic Italian sports car while the V8 is more like a muscle car. I love my V6 manual transmission.

    Awesome video. It's not the first review I have seen of a supercharged Jaguar when the reviewer lapses into delighted laughter!
    I have a 2016 XF S: same supercharged engine, 5.1 seconds 0-60, similar suspension and red/black interior. I did a run on Saturday with a pal and we were both doing the "laugh out loud" thing.
    The XF doesn't have the same exhaust sound, sadly, but definitely has the same Jaguar pace and grace, plus even more space (room for rear passengers and more luggage).
    Loved this review and enjoying the channel!

  • @EmilyS15213

      I know what you mean about wanting the Convertible, my wife has a base one, but either way, they are fantastic. Would like to see you compare a base to an S as the Torque is very close.

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  8 лет назад

      Not sure I can do that but I hope to be able to compare the S to the SVR in a couple of weeks time ;-)

    Can you turn the active exhaust button off in dynamic mode, so you get full performance but with a normal exhaust note without the pops and crackles?

  • @bryanstrange7094
    @bryanstrange7094 8 лет назад +1

    Very nice video of what appears to be an awesome car. By far the most desirable car you've reviewed so far (excluding Ruby of course). Who'd have thought a V6 could sound that good; a pity they can't do the same with F1 cars.

    Great review, here's a tip, next time you go past the dealer pop in and ask him about the switch to the right of the gear stick, yes the black and gold one. I was talking to the deal near me who was talking to the designer who said he got this switch from the Euro fighter (TYPHOON) really, and this is the exact same one. that's why it looks so different from all the rest.

    @nickjh1968 8 лет назад +1

    A stunning car no question. A friend works for JLR and explained how Jaguar actually engineered the exhaust sound to achieve that lovely rasp and crackle.Question is if I could afford it would it be an F type or an R8? Maybe time for a test on the Audi?

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  8 лет назад +2

      I know it's engineered but it still sounds mega !
      R8 or F Type ? That is a VERY good question ! I'm working on Audi to get an R8. I'm an Audi fan but the Jag is gonna take some beating. I'm hoping to get behind the wheel of the F Type SVR in a few weeks. That will win hands down !!

  • @lukas_maximus
    @lukas_maximus Год назад +1

    Ive been pondering about an m3 or f type and youve just made my mind up with this brilliantly produced video, f type all the way, you only live once f#@k practicality, ill do the shopping in the work van 😂😂. Im going to look at a v6s tomorrow Getting the feeling this is the better all-rounder for the road than the v8, lighter more accessible power, whats your opinion on the best engine for the real world?

  • @JWL-UK

    I think you should bring the V6 back to the channel now that you've driven so many upmarket models and say how it compares. I got a manual 2018 pre-GPF and I love it. It's probably the most underrated daily sports car one can buy for under 30K in the UK. What do you think?

  • @davidtaylor1482
    @davidtaylor1482 7 лет назад +1

    What a fantastic machine, the only thing that goes quicker down the road than this is it's residual value, I had a quick look at my local Trader and you can pick an S up for around the 38k mark, that strikes me as a lot of car for little money but it does beg the question, just how cheap will they get? Anyway, you sold the car to me, that said, I'm off to watch your SVR film now and I'm going to assume it will involve your cargasm face telling me I made the wrong F Type choice and I have to rethink my whole F Type policy, great piece, thumbs up for the ride

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  7 лет назад +1

      LOL...love this comment ! I agree, you can get some mega bargains if you look at used. The SVR is awesome but I think a V8 AWD would be just as awesome !

  • @mdfarren
    @mdfarren 7 лет назад +4

    Doc has upgraded me to a psychiatrist. This is not Chichester, it's downtown Vancouver. The F-Type seems to be aggravating the anxiety issues !....I drive in dynamic mode up to Safeway. I like annoying people and my neighbours complain about the noise it makes. 18 months and only 5,000 KM. Talked to dealer about upgrading to an SVR. I must be mad.

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  7 лет назад

    • @mikes3827
      @mikes3827 6 лет назад

      I finally got an F-Type here in the US, and aside from the impracticality that presents itself by virtue of owning the Jag...screw it! Even with the 6 cyl, it is sooooo much fun to drive. And the "sexy" factor NEVER gets old (not only from myself admiring it, but to still get compliments on the car). Maybe it's just me, but while I know the Aston Martin Vantage and F-Type shared similar design cues (I think the same guy designed both), I find the Jag to look every bit as handsome as the MUCH, MUCH more expensive Aston.

    I have the V8 5 ltr and it is a monster in red. I guarantee you will smile every second you are driving it. Only regret is the insurance costs less than £200 per year....Thats coz they say I am in a safe age group (64) and I will drive it very sensibly, never park it any where that is not safe and polish her every week,.Yeaaaa thats about it, I sure don't want to break her (her being "The Pus Cat"..
