I bought a 2018 F Type R out of the showroom 2 years ago and I still get excited to drive it and still smiling 😀. I bought a new F Pace a few years before my F Type and it was the BEST decision ever to trade for the F Type👍🏻
I bought my dream car 2 yrs ago. 2018 F Type R right out of the showroom. Since the day I got it i can’t stop smiling either! The power, sound, speed and overall fun car to drive!!! I say get it! You only live once👍♥️
Great video. It was like watching myself drive an F-Type for the first time. It too is my dream car and it too exceeded all expectations. It was also the exact same spec as this one. I've never felt so connected to a car, it was awesome. Came away vowing to myself that one day I would own one. That was a few years ago. Looking for one to purchase right now.
Got a 2016 F type S awd....way more fun than the M3 I tried (f80 was so darn heavy/huge). Great car, way better looking than an M3...10000x better. Great video.
VAP stage 4 now...with tcu zf8 tuning... 550hp now and super fast shifting.....it may not be slower than an M3 now too....not sure. I get 3.1 to 60 on e85 and 3.5 with 93...I run 93 most of the time ....on DWS06Plus's no less!
The F-Type RWD V8 is 200 lbs lighter than the M3 with roughly double the torque. Its ten levels up from a BMW. Yes, I've had many. The V8 doesn't feel heavy, it feels like its going to leap out from under you. You involuntarily upshift just trying to hold on, then again, as the next gear is not enough to relieve the brutal acceleration.
Dude. As much as I love this Jag, nothing beats a naturally aspirated V8 beemer with m-sport trim and suspension. The driving dynamics are unmatched by anything except Porsche.
@@KH4444444444N I have a JB4 FBO 135i and it’s awful. Porsche is awful, too. Have you driven a modern car? The 911 is a 1938 design cancelled by Porsche for its outdated chassis in 1976. Why do you think NA engines are good? Obviously supercharging is the only way to go. NA is ultra cheap to build, thats why OEMs push it.
Also the car is an amazing Grand Tourer, we took our V8R on a 3 week long European road trip across 10 countries, 4200 miles and it was very comfortable and the boot was big enough for me and the wife for 3 weeks including 2 big camera bags, tripod, hiking and also beach gear. Amazing 😍 Try that in any 911 or any other sports car 😄
@@200mphBrian haha it was summer so clothes were smaller 🙂 For us the key to packing was using various different sized duffel bags to fill out all the space in the boot and also used the coat hanger behind my seat to carry a jacket. I have photos of all the stuff around the car before packing and one once I loaded it, the family couldn't believe we managed to load all of it into the car 😁
I liked this review Ben, loved your past detailing connection with Jags., lovely take. I nearly bought the F Type S a few years ago, but have just bought an F Type R AWD V8 in black with carbon pack & carbon alloy insets. (Not new!) pick up 25th!, going to be a long week. Thanks for an enjoyable watch :)
I loved this video, it really shows what it's like to drive the F-Type first time, smiles galore 😀 Also that feeling never wears off, best car for smiles per miles for sure 😊
Lovely Motor, recently purchased a classic XJS V12 1989 with only 24,000 miles on the clock!! Toying with the idea of chopping in my BMW X2 M35I & going for one of these!! Many Thanks, Peace From London. 👍👍👍
You know it's a great car when you giggle like an idiot every time you punch it. Looks like you've already made your choice, now it's time to come to terms with it.. ;) On a side note: I'd love to see a point-of-view vid of your favourite roads. You've talked about them before at length, but a picture -or video- speaks a thousand words! Love the content, keep it up!
I'm a Cov kid (1960's vintage) and my late step-dad was chief test driver during his career at Jaguar. I was lucky enough to have been taken out in E-Types, XJS's, XJ's etc etc. I have thus had a lifelong passion for the marque and currently run a 5.0XK Portfolio. I share your joy.....
Great happy review 👍🏻 You so need to just do it as your happiness shon thru the whole vid Don’t listen to anyone else and get one. Life is so short and this would brighten up your life and soul 🙏🏻 #StaySafe 🦠😷
Sometimes, it's more emotions than words that help the viewer get an idea of what the car is like to drive and this, your review of the gorgeous white F Type is one perfect example. Thank you and off to classifieds..
Great video! Loved hearing your story and seeing your dreams come true driving the car. Pretty cool that your aunt works for SVO. I'd like to see you drive an R or SVR to compare and see your reaction. You might decide to go that route instead. 😉
It must be the dopest car in sound and looks and the pulling is amazing good for only 340hp..a remap and intercooler it will be sickk.. Engine and gearbox are really reliable.. Big step
I just bought one they are super fun to drive i have owned bmw as well and im not even gonna dare to compare the ftype its absolutely out of this world so strong for a v6 mine is black with red interior i even sleep in it 😀😀
Coupe might look a bit better, but there's no comparison to the aural experience the cabrio gives you with the top down. God... Going on to 5 years and still cracks me up (and my other sports car is a GT3...).
Beautiful car love the sound! I beat the same car as your's with my new M 240i last night, but he wasn't to far behind me! Do you know what you're getting in quarter mile in this car?
what’s the reliability on the v6? i’ve looked into the v6 f types but shy away because of a few horrible reliability reviews yet a good amount of great reliability reviews
Most talk about rattles or electrical gremlins but never engine.. Bmw and audi tho the horror stories on car that has less than 30.000 miles the engine is gone.. Rods cranks and bs
@@be1441 it's a great car that gives you the best of all worlds. I also own a DB9 and wondering if it's worth keeping anymore as the Jag ticks every box. The DB9 is quite special however..
Considering this vs a V8 R AWD. Whats the suspension like on bumpy roads (going fast or slow)? Are you able to use all/most of the power? I feel like 550HP on the R is nearly “too much” and I won’t be able to hear it rev that much before losing my license. Thoughts?
Check out one of my later videos where I bought a V8 S convertible. What a fantastic car! I’d say you can use all the power, but just be conscious. However if you’re getting AWD I wouldn’t worry. Mine was RWD and gripped pretty well
I totally agree!!! I've had my E93 M3 for 5 years and I have no intention of exchanging it for anything else. I have Evolve test pipes installed, and I have it remapped by Evolve and I have fitted a M performance exhaust and it sounds amazing. KEEP THE M3!! With a little bit of work, your M3 will be magical 😁👍🏻
The only F type worth buying is a V6 S (sadly it's stopped production) best sounding of the lot. Shame the car itself isn't very capable at anything else. Maybe if you were in your 60s. Better with a Boxster 981 S or GTS
But, who'd want a Corporate climber Porsche when you can have a Jag? Not me. Jag is very good at Everything. The Germans currently handle better. So what? Jag looks and sounds WAY better. Different league. When German cars do sexy (which is never) perhaps. Until that day, it's Italian or British EVERY time.

Just got my f pace SVR and it’s the best of both worlds!! Love that you don’t see them every time everywhere like Mercedes/Bmw

Hi Ben, I had an e89 like yours and just got myself the base F type. It’s unreal.

The RWD is the one to have especially the older 550 hp V8 R
You definitely need one of these mate. Who will get one first though, you or me?
Neither of you by the looks of your channel

If you fit all that as well as 3 weeks worth of clothing in your F-Type then I need you to come over and pack mine

Go and scratch the itch Ben.... the F type is very pretty... it's your hero car you will enjoy it, convertible would be best.
My 3.0S 380HP has the 6 speed manual, I really like it. More than enough power for the two lane country roads in New Hampshire, USA.
I have a 2014 S red roadster. Totally love it. Gotta go topless.
Great happy review 👍🏻
You so need to just do it as your happiness shon thru the whole vid
Don’t listen to anyone else and get one. Life is so short and this would brighten up your life and soul 🙏🏻

My dream car, the best looking car ever made.
Lots of great looking super cars how can you say this is best! This is a great looking car, but there are so many to choose from!
good review, you got the essence of what the f type is about - smile factor and feel, not top trump stats
I’m a Jaguar lover too Ben. I’ve driven and loved a 2004 XJ8 for years, and I’m now about to purchase a F type. 😁
Enjoy pal. I'm about to purchase an xj8 😄
It must be the dopest car in sound and looks and the pulling is amazing good for only 340hp..a remap and intercooler it will be sickk.. Engine and gearbox are really reliable.. Big step
I have a 400 Sport & I love checking the rear view mirror to see the head turns from that sound...especially angry old people. 🤣
I’m very glad to see your videos, fulfilling your dreams and of course drive this awesome car Ben!. Greetings from Chile! 🇨🇱😃🙏🏼
The spoiler deploys at 70mph 😉
At least it does in my V8 R 😃
Like the story. It sounds like your car.
My youngest lads just bought one -He loves it .
They are awesome cars but in my opinion the only one to get is the V8 I have a 2014 and absolutely love it
I just bought one they are super fun to drive i have owned bmw as well and im not even gonna dare to compare the ftype its absolutely out of this world so strong for a v6 mine is black with red interior i even sleep in it 😀😀
Can relate 😍 I recently owned a v8 convertible was was such a great car!
Just got the 2016 R 5.0L V8. I am speechless.
It's definitely a fun car to drive. I want the v8 all wheel drive version
Great choice. I owned a v8 S convertible 👌🏼
Nice one Ben what a car I’d love one just for that sound my dream , day out would be ripping around Tesla chargers while the owners look on 😂
Go get one. You only live once. I've had 2 jags and loved them both.
How was reliability?
Looks like a fun car to drive
Absolutely 👌🏼
Coupe might look a bit better, but there's no comparison to the aural experience the cabrio gives you with the top down. God... Going on to 5 years and still cracks me up (and my other sports car is a GT3...).

Would be a tough one to choose from both very special cars 🙂
Fair play buddy, great car and great video...
A great review please do more

Are the exhaust sounds so distorted only for me or for everyone?
Good video mate,. Well described.
Appreciate it thank you
I wish i could afford one of these, but in convertible form though, and at least the R model.
I've got a 2017 XF S..sure wish it sounded that good😪
Brilliant. Pure passion.
340hp version got same exhaust sound?
Got mine two weeks ago it's a superb car and I dont think youd ever get bored of it
4 months in and I'm loving it 👌
@@be1441 it's a great car that gives you the best of all worlds. I also own a DB9 and wondering if it's worth keeping anymore as the Jag ticks every box. The DB9 is quite special however..
@@TomNbk DB9 is timeless! Worth keeping imo
@@be1441 agree for what it's worth now it isnt worth selling to be honest.
I really want a Jaguar F type before I die but it looks like I'm not gonna make it.

Yow best to get the v8 just go all the way👌
What a car👌
Is this a V6 S or V8 ?
Get the v8 version , and get the all-wheel drive you'll be happier
No V6-S is the sweet spot on the F-type. Best bang per buck by miles.
@@SkyBlueJim222 lighter engine. Probably handles better. Love the scream of the V6. V8 is a monster though..
Why replace? Keep both of them 🤣
V6 - No thanks
When you've had a primary decat and carbon intake on your m3 you will hear a sound that destroys the jag
LOL shut up
Tata literally ruined Jaguar… literally. Once they butchered the XJ, it was pretty much all over from there.
IMHO
Don’t do it, the M3 has so much more potential!
I totally agree!!!
I've had my E93 M3 for 5 years and I have no intention of exchanging it for anything else.
I have Evolve test pipes installed, and I have it remapped by Evolve and I have fitted a M performance exhaust and it sounds amazing.
KEEP THE M3!! With a little bit of work, your M3 will be magical 😁👍🏻
Please tell me this is sarcasm a boring-ass BMW compared to this but he needs to get the V8
😂
Maybe drive a BMW Z4 M40i before you jump ship...
I have and wasnt that impressed
Then the solution is obvious... The new Corvette.
