Why the Jaguar F-Type V6 S is the BEST sub-£40k used sports car | Vlog review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 дек 2021
- You’ve just under £40k to spend on a used sports car. What do you go for… Porsche 911? Toyota Supra? How about a Jaguar F-Type V6 S? This brawny British two-door is one of the prettiest, best-sounding and nicest-handling cars of any class. For under £40,000, it feels like tremendous value for money - and you’re not forced to buy an older, higher miles car, either. Not on cinch, anyway...
Does that make the F-Type V6 S the thinking person’s way into a life of excitement and pizzazz? Sam certainly thinks so; as you might gather from watching our first ever Vlog review.

I got my V6 S a month ago. And I very much enjoy the f type. The sound, the looks, the drive. Everything about it is art. I feel special on the road surrounded by a sea of many other predictable cars.
I feel exactly the same when I drive mine lol. But the thing is so pretty I get worried about someone malicious coming to ram you on the road, or someone vandalising it while it's parked
I’m teetering on the verge of buying one, am a little confused with the road tax though, on autotrader some are quoted to have road tax of £355, then others are £155 or there abouts but it doesn’t say why the difference. Do you know?
@@slartybartfast5368 Hi mate, not sure if you still need the answer but it's likely because one is the V6 (£155) and the other is the V6 S (£355). Small detail but easy to miss 😉
Have one in the garage right now!! Also an Audi R8 and I would choose the Jaggggg all day long!!💯👍🏻
Nice video! Couldn't agree more. Have the identical car to the one tested, but with LHD. Still in love with it.
I last summer picked up a V6S CONVERTIBLE with a brilliant spec...replaced my 911 c4s(996). This drives very much like that as a heavy steering and very sharp responses. The exhaust note makes me smile all day :-)
Beautiful car great review.
My 2015 Jaguar F-Type V6 S is my daily driver. I couldn't be happier with it. I bought it with 19,000 miles from CarMax. With a five year warranty.
I’m buying one 😅this week from CarMax with a five year warranty as well, car is 2015 V6s with less than 26k miles.
Awesome! Enjoy the experience.@@cuddlesandkibbleschannel3870
@@cuddlesandkibbleschannel3870 Enjoy it! I got my 2014 V6S with 5K miles. 5 years later I'm at 35K, but I've have had to do the water pump twice. But apart from that, it's been an excellent and reliable car.
What a nice video. 🤙🤙
Great review. This guy should be reviewing on a proper automotive review site. Carbuyer could definitely do with him.
Have it. Better used, with good, solid checks pre-purchase
I love mine. Sold the boxster. So gooood.
Really good review
Thanks, Jarrod. We're doing our best to keep the content output up. Next week we have something very fun lined up (clue: there are two hot hatches and an empty race track)
Really enjoyed your video and fully agree with you. I had a double take when I first saw the car as it is identical to mine , only I have the manual gearbox. They do tick all the boxes for me , and the RWD keeps you on your toes.
I have a RWD too and yeah, it's wild I don't dare to drive with the nannies off, with them on is as easy as a hot hatch.
I have a 2016 3.0S manual on the way, hope to have it in a week or so. It's a roll of the dice getting a car without actually seeing it but buying a car such as these is an emotional thing, sometimes you have to just go for it. Many say get the V8 but I wanted the manual transmission and 380HP is plenty for where I live.
The pre facelift looks so much better! They ruined that front end
@Paul Hitchens looks like its half asleep. I deliberately went for a late 18 with ultra low mileage than a high mileage 20 plate. You can still do PCP on an 18 if you look around. Financed an R Dynamic 340 with around 6k of extra's including active exhaust, parking assist, black pack, bigger brakes, fixed wing, 20" alloys for £230 a month for 30 months and 14k deposit. Just 20k miles on the clock. My thinking I will loose the interest alone and still have 8k left in the car once the terms up.
@@jgtemperton hi mate, where did you get the car/finance from if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been looking a while and haven’t seen any deals that good!
I have owned my F type V6 for 18 months, it's a stunning looking car and stands out from every angle, white with black 20" wheels, pushing 400 Bhp, I love the car and hope to keep it for a very long time.
How is it going with it? I had mine for a few months and everything has been good. Only thing that has me a bit worried is that while cold the idle is quite noisy but after searching the internet it looks like they all sound a bit messy at idle, specially when cold? Would you agree?
These really are great cars, I've owned a V6S as my daily for the past 12 months. Even one of the early examples at £30-35k can provide that special connection with Jaguar's sports car heritage in a modern package with all the fun you need. Do your research, decide which options are important for you, and find the car to suit, you will be glad that you did. I've driven most of the competition at this price point (including Porsches and Maseratis) and whilst each has its particular strengths, I'm still pleased I opted for my F-Type V6S, it ticks all the boxes and puts a smile on my face every time I climb aboard. Well done Jaguar, and thank you.
I'm looking at one to daily as well. Is it possible to ride away early in the morning without waking up the neighbours? I love the sound but is quietness also possible when you drive carefully and w/ exhaust button off? I'm trying to be considerate since I live in a crowded area
@@davidgelderblom5888 I think there's a quiet start mode, yeah
@@davidgelderblom5888 I have a 2015 V6S and the start-up is pretty loud…there’s no quiet option! It’s not ‘wake everyone up in the street’ loud, but it sure isn’t subtle, either. There’s a bit of a trick though: immediately shift the car into drive or reverse and it quietens down straight away.
Driving around, on the other hand, you can be very quiet. As long as the exhaust valves are closed (which they are by default in normal mode), the car doesn’t make much noise. Valves open or in dynamic mode on the other hand…!
@@mattdavies8438 thanks for your reply Matt! Sounds like a useful solution with the instant reverse or drive. Probably going to test drive one soon. I'm so in love with the design already
The V8 is next level. The V6 is a great car, but it’s never going to get into the 2s. The V6 uses the same block as the V8, so the weight difference is only 180 lbs. in fact the RWD V8s are lighter than the AWD V6s.
I’ve owned jags for years and have always loved them and had 🤞
It is a " must have"...
hi !
the weight distribution is actually practically 50/50
I owned a v6s about 4 years ago and loved it but now v8 f types are well under 40k I wouldn't even hesitate. V8 is a million miles better over the v6 which is why I sold mine.
Is it really worth the premium of mpg, tax and ins over the V6 S? Not to mention the depreciation due to rising fuel costs over 2 years of ownership. Curious as I plan to buy a f-type next spring after my V8 M3.
@@revolt360 I agree. I've just swapped my M4 comp (18 plate) for a V6 340 Dynamic (18 plate). The look and feel of both cars is night and day. You just can't drive a car like the M4 on British roads. Yes its bloody quick, but every time you put your foot down in M mode it just looses control. The F Type, feels more composed, gets more attention (silver with black pack and 20 inch black wheels). And the sound. My God, the BM was awful. The F Type V6 is glorious! Do I miss the extra second to 62? Nope. Definitely not. And as you say, unlike the V8, the insurance and tax is half the BM and the V8 and I'm averaging 30ish to the gallon on my daily commute.
Mate I got a v6 and think its slow compared to my bmw 5 series m sport 3 litre, all noise… should got v8 if anything but actually bored of the car after a week
Yeah I own one I don't think it's a super fast car on straight line, it's more or less what would you expect around 340hp or so.
But their strong point is slower winding roads, the engine note plus it being not so brutally fast means that you can get to push it a bit without going instantly beyond what you can control (which happens easily with the V8 for example).
If you want to be really quick straight line or race other cars yeah, not the best the v6.
Strange. I got really bored of my M4 which sounded like a wet fart and just squirmed about all over the place. Its like driving a go kart compared to the V6 F Type. No precision or class at all.
