I too use my F Type R nearly every day. I run errands, pick up groceries, go to fast food drive ups and I commute from Wichita to Oklahoma City a couple times a month for work (and get 28 mpg doing it). My wife has been a very good sport about taking the Jag out to dinner only to find the restaurant we are heading for is 50 miles away sometimes. We all spend a lot of our life in our cars and there is no better place to be than the cockpit of an F Type.
That is awesome! It really is such a sweet car
Corvettes are so common, theres at least a couple hundred of them in a hundred mile radius of my town. My F type is the ONLY one I have ever seen on the road in my entire state. Ive seen two at dealerships for sale but haven’t seen either since, I suspect they were bought by people out my state.
Jaguar people are my favorite car culture people, they're so nice, helpful and friendly. Shout out to XK's Unlimited in San Louis Obispo, Ca.
For sure, they really are the best!
My Z06 is always on “savage mode” where as I can use my F-Type R for errands and can have a conversation with my date while driving 🤣
Haha this is true!
This has gotta be the best review video for the F Type! Thanks for all the info! Can’t wait till mine arrives!
I appreciate that! Thanks 🙏🏼
Great Video!! was very in-depth. There are not lot of Ftype owners on youtube so please post all your DIY
That’s a good idea, maybe I’ll post them on the forums!
Going through your F Type videos and the audio on this one is significantly better than the others. Great info- convinced me to get a 2020.
Thanks brother! Appreciate the comment
Another brilliant video. I cannot wait to buy the F-Type.
Always grateful for your channel thank you for all you do with the info Connor it’s helped a lot!
I appreciate that Steven! Thanks for the comment
I really appreciate your vids, Connor! As previously mentioned, this last weekend I installed wheel spacers on my 2017 SVR for the winter tires (OZ Racing 19s), and it was easy thanks to your video. Used 20mm spacers and just had to cut off about 2mm of the wheel studs. I've got the Mina intake tube upgrades that I will put on this winter, too (adding heat insulation to them). I'm definitely going to do your Stage 2 tune when my warranty expires...Thanks for sharing your handiwork - Zoom Zoom!
Right on! I’m sure that looks amazing and after those intakes it will sound even better!
Thanks for the comment Ric!
Well done very informative worthwhile!
Great video. In depth about your experience and practical tips.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
I've been looking for one of these cars ever since finding your channel. Thanks for all the great info!
Right on! Let me know when you pull the trigger!
Hey Seth!! The lease returns are coming back on the 2017-18 models. Really good deals right now.
Keep it the good work! I enjoy all your videos
Thanks Stefan!
Great video. Makes me look forward to when I am out of warranty :) Building my wish list for my 2017 F Type R Convertible
Right on! Thanks for comment Gail!
THIS CAR IS INSANE!!!
The more and more I watch your videos... the more I want this car..
Well Explained!
I appreciate it Ruben! Thanks for the comment
Great video! Very in depth and very informative!
Thanks Jim! 🙏🏼
I love your videos. Very thorough and informative.
Thanks man!
Yo! Thank you so much for the F-type vids! You have some great points about jag ownership! I am about to pull the trigger on a used 2020 R-dynamic. I really like everything this car offers, including the depreciation hit by the previous owner! xD. It'd be so awesome if there was someone like you doing vids on V6s models.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Love the content bro; learned a ton from your videos!
I appreciate it homie! Thanks 🙏🏼
Many Thanks, Peace From London. 🙏🙏
Another great video, loving your work 👍🏼
Thanks James! Appreciate it brother
Your vids have been a huge help bro keep up the vids
Thanks will! 🙏🏼
Wheels, color, etc. Perfect. I hope to find a similar spec'd F-type in the near future. Great video as always!
Thanks Micheal! Appreciate the comment and I totally agree
2015 Rs are getting crazy expensive if you can find one. $500K car in the future. athe new body style has been amazing for old body prices, and RWD has 7% more WHP and is 7% lighter, way more HP/weight than an SVR.
Thank you young man for taking this on ......Priceless.......for everything else’s there’s MasterCard 😎😎😎
Haha that’s right, thanks Ronald!
Love the video love the car looking forward to stage two for my 2014 f type
right on!
What a thorough and detailed video. Brilliant work my fellow F Typer! . As a video suggestion would you mind considering doing a video comparing the 2021 Jaguar F Type r with yours and the big changes done to it. Especially the exhaust. Just a request from a fan
That’s a great idea! Thanks
Great videos. I'm currently in the market for a 2015 F-Type R (selling my super low mileage near perfect condition 2016 Golf R which I really like but just need that RWD muscle thrill).
Prices on the jags (ahem, everything) have bumped up 5-10% over the past year for sure, but hopefully the one I'm offering on at present will come through! I do all my own maintenance as well, so thank you for including the real world cost breakdown for the basics!
Right on, that’s going to be quite a change from the golf r! Thanks for the comment
Great video! Thanks 🙏
Thanks Sal!
Starting to miss my F . Great review !
You’re always welcome back!
Hi..Great presentation..
I know this is 3 years old however I have subbed as I am considering one of these. My thought (being in UK) was an Aston Vantage...however..these (even without upgrades) look such great value..PLUS it looks like a "revamped" Aston that Aston should have progressed too anyway...
Anyway...love your content and honesty..let's see you at Goodwood "across the pond"
Keep them coming
Thanks for another great video. I recently had a hood latch and an o2 sensor replaced under warranty. The hood latch switch was preventing the car from going to sleep and the car would drain and i always got low batt. Dealership diagnosed it after leaving it on a parasitic charge leak test and found it. It was an odd one so thought i’d share.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Hey guy, great review thinking of getting a 2019 w/ all those mods👍
Right on!
Jag just issued 10yr 150k mile extended warranty for the o2 sensor issue. Any repairs already done at dealership will be reimbursed.
I need to bring them my receipt!
Great video as always, I might be pulling the blower and porting it over the winter😈it looks like Mina gallery now makes a full Intake system instead up just upper pipes. Going to be a busy winter lol
That would be killer! Let me know how it goes!
Another very cool feature that most people leave out when reviewing this car(not sure if you've brought it up yet or not but it'd be interesting if you did) is the cool in cabin bracing behind the seats. Love that they left those out for show. Can you tell me if that's in a sense a partial cage if you will? "Cage" is a bit too far but if you could bring that aspect up maybe in future videos that would be interesting. Thanks
Very true, I’ll check into that!
I think your liking the Jaaaag, another really good review Connor, put my tune on hold for now due to the strange times we are having. Keep them coming mate.
My man Dave! Yea the Jaaaaag has been a blast, totally understand about the times. It’ll be interesting to see where things go from here. Thank again brother!
Dave get the tune mate you won’t regret it, totally changes your car. I have the V8s and I’ve dragged raced and also raced at road America and it’s held up great
@@ryanadams9754 All booked for next month, thanks for the heads up.
I bought a 2015 today...so excited!!
That’s awesome! Congrats!
Conner.. Thank you for the shoutout to the SoCal clubs. That means a lot to us. **All you Jaguar F-Type owners out there, and Jaguar car enthusiasts period, get involved with your local clubs.** Really good people and you meet members that own the coolest, most badass classic Jags. I'm buying a classic this week. You'll get hooked!!
That’s awesome! Please send me a picture when you get it!
@@skrrtgarage3922 I will. It became a classic just this year. (30 year mark). 1990 XJ-S V12 in Red
Been considering getting one of these, your videos are awesome. You ever thought about doing a black warp on the handles as well, it'd be a sweet little accent for it.
No I haven’t, but yea that would be pretty cool!
One week to go and(fingers crossed) I pick up a 2018 V6 380hp AWD R dynamic.. All black including 20” black alloys. 8750miles on the clock. Butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it. Thanks for posting,feel a bit more confident in my decision to go for an F Type
Right on! It’s a fantastic car
Great Channel! Loving my F-type and your tips of ownership. I notice you have a sliding metal plate in the floor of your garage. Can you show a photo of the opening?
Yea that’s actually just a storm shelter, I did use it once for a oil chang though lol
Cool motor bud well done 🤙
Appreciate it!
Perfect timing on this video. Yesterday,
I test drove a 2017 F-Type R. Incredible. Simply incredible. I have an XF and am looking to trade-up. The only issue I could identify with the F-Type was that the accelerator and brake peddle are so close together that I found it was hard not to step on both at the same time. Have you found this to be an issue with your F-Type? If so, were you able to get used to it fairly quickly? Thank for your videos. Again, I’ve learned more from you about the F-Type than any other source.
Yea they are pretty close, you definitely get used to it though!
Love this car definitelyal a sophisticated look! Vette is super nice too though. Grand Sport is a great chill touring car for road trips. But throw it in sport or track and it's a monster!
I love my F-type R convertible and drive it pretty much every day except for winter. It hasn't seen snow yet and I plan to keep it that way. Got a Porsche Macan turbo for winter.
Would love to see a video on changing the oil using the extractor!
For sure!
Connor, you nailed it. "60% GT and 40% Sports Car; this recipe...is on another level of refinement ... competes with lighter cars; being unreliable is just not true; you do not know throttle response until you've tried this car (this side of a Tesla). I'm posting this vid on my private group page, F-Type owners of Minnesota. Mine's a '16 AWD that I've driven daily, including through the Minneapple winters, for 50,000 miles while grinning in my soul for every single mile. I'd like to add this: Our car's exhaust pipes can be played like musical instruments. RUclips won't let me add here my write-up that teaches how. Perhaps because it's long, not sure. Happy to share it. Just ask.
Thanks so much for the comment! I completely agree the exhaust note is just incredible. That’s a shame it won’t let you write how to make the exhaust sing too!
@@skrrtgarage3922 I'd love to share it with you. You'd have fun playing with it --likely fodder for a vid, too. email me: ForrestDesk@comcast.net
Seals work best if you soak them in whatever the fluid is that you're going to install them into. Awesome! You have to be careful cuz sometimes they have it inner lip that you have to get over the piece before you try pressing on the main body. Otherwise your fold the lip back and rip it and then of course it's going to fail. The other thing is is that sometimes I'll have a metal sleeve and instead of putting a socket or something against a metal sleeve or better yet, using a bearing seater, people will hammer on the rubber piece. 😂
@Conner. Dude AWESOME REVIEW/OVERALL Running Costs. Question. How many miles total did you drive your F-Type in its first year of ownership? Daily/AutoCross/Racing Thanks Tim
Thanks Tim! I appreciate that, I’ve gone 10k miles with it
Thanks for very informative video. I've been thinking about buying a used convertible type r. Do you happen to know if there's a way to fit a set of golf clubs in the convertible?
Thanks for posting this. I’m looking at purchasing a F-type R it’s good to see the potential.
Right on, let me know what you pick up!
@@skrrtgarage3922 will do hopefully the AWD version. How’s the transmission holding up with the stage 2 upgrade? I just found your channel good stuff!
@@jhouser972
Just a pitch for buying a RWD...
1. 2015 R's are going up in price rapidly, in 5 years this is the F to have, est $200-300K for a low miles sample.
2. 2015 R's have a 15% higher WHP/weight ratio than the SVR.
3. RWD F's have exquiste hydraulic power steering and handle better than AWD.
4. RWD is a lot more fun
5. AWD will dig faster, but lose a roll race by a large margin.
@@FFE-js2zp thanks for info that’s something to consider. I’m plan on test driving RWD version just in case. I am planning on keeping the car for at least 5 years so a RWD R maybe the way to go. 🤔
The transmission loves it so far, I don’t think 650hp is enough to bother the ZF 8 speed transmission
Lovely car mate, I just discovered your channel but it's sad to see you've sold it!!
I'm considering moving away from my 981 cayman gts to one of these and this review definitely helped. Next step, test drive 😁
Out of interest- did yours have the Meridean speakers? My dad has an XFS and they sound superb. My cayman has upgraded sound system (not bose) and they sound awful!
Yea this car had the meridian sound, but it wasn’t the best I’ve heard. Maybe your fathers xfs had a better equalizer or something.
I am very interested in the lower pulley and tune. I have the aftermarket upper pulleys on both of my Jags.I have a 2010 Jaguar XF/SC, and a 2014 XJ-R they have been super reliable.
Right on, you’ll see a huge difference if you swap the lower ones.
SKRRRRRRT Love the Vids! Just bought a V6 manual. What percentage window tint do you have on yours? Did you tint the back and roof as well? Thanks!
Thanks 🙏🏼. I didn’t tint the top but I believe the sides are 15%
Thanks awesome video. What was your considerations when you choose between convertible vs coupe?
Both are great cars, I’m drawn to the coupe because of the rigidity and design. But if you want a convertible then you can go wrong
Thats crazy! A floating head and hands driving an f-type!
Hahah go ahead and call me John cena
Any issues/experiences with the known supercharger coupler/isolator? I'm considering purchasing an F type , but it's an early first year 2014MY. Just trying to get an idea on what I'm getting myself into. Thanks! Your vids are great!
I haven’t had any issues yet with this, it is fairly common with higher milage cars though. The repair itself doesn’t look bad though
Just bought a 2019 f type svr today!!!!! V8 supercharged! Needless to say i will be a regular on this channel!!
Thanks awesome! Such a sweet car
Great video. Thanks for doing it. I am on the fence on getting a V8 CPO which looks really nice. Is the mileage for the V8 really as terrible as people say? It's not the cost I am concerned but the overall range. Thanks
Milage as in mpg or high milage cars for sale? The mph is around 20 average and the higher mileage cars will probably require a little bit of maintenance but nothing crazy.
I love the ftype but my husband has been a bit worried. Your video put his mind at ease. I see a cat in my future. THANKS
Right on! Good luck, hopefully he agrees 🙏🏼
Does it mean that if he can get a F type that you will get a feline friend? 2 wins there :)
@@meejmuas8686 I am the one getting the F type next year. No cats, he is very allergic.
I finally got mine!
Just curious. Did you buy as a CPO and if you don't mind me asking, what did you pay? Also have you heard about any coolant leak issues?
Great video! Do you know if they make a CARB legal intake for California?
Per the supercharger upgrade...what are you thoughts about the car's long-term reliability with all that extra power going to the transmission, rear diff etc?
Super awesome video thanks a lot! Right now I’m in the market for one these I just can’t decide between awd and rwd. Any tips?
They honestly drive very similar if you drive them in isolation, you really only notice a difference if you drive them back to back. I want RWD because it’s lighter, better steering and a little bit more a hooligan.
@@skrrtgarage3922 yeah I’ve been leaning more towards the rwd too as I’ve done more research but that launch ability is sooo tempting. LOL. Ps I live in Tulsa and would love to kick it some time. I’m new to the area so if there’s any dope car meets that are a must would love to check them out
Great vid. Considering getting a 17 Jag F Type R. What black wheels do you recommend? The one i want has alloy wheels.
Wheels are tough to find for the f type, they are 5x108 and hardly anyone else uses 5x108.. so you’ll most likely have to get custom drilled ones from a higher end brand
where did you get the intake from? sounds amazing
Liking even before watching the vid
Thanks bro! 🙌🏼
Did you ever come across the message traction control currently unavailable coming on briefly while accelerating hard? Doesn’t come on all the time and only from start off.
Love the Jag, you still got the Black Series???
Yes! Videos to come on that!
Clean
The 2014 and 2015 R’s are goin to be collectibles one day. RWD cars that won’t be made anymore bc they are too crazy. Sounds like a future collectible to me
Completely agree 🙏🏼🔥
I drove from texas to Florida and back, and I averaged around 27.5mpg. 2015 Rs are amazing.
Insane! Hell of a car
Hello,
I have a 2014 Range Rover Sport SC. Can you tell me if the pully and ecu tunning was worth it from Velocity AP.? Thank you
I have a question. My spoiler stop raising while driving and won’t go up in the wing cleaning mode. Anyone ever had this issue?
Which particular Lucas Oil additive did you find comparative to the BG 44? I just took delivery of my 2016 R and would like to treat it now to be safe. Only has 11.000 miles but I am sure the older lady that owned it didn't put any addictive in it during her ownership. Thanks.
Congrats Steve! It’s simply called Lucas oil Injector cleaner. You can pick it up in almost any parts store for like $4-5
Love the videos. But gotta ask, look like we're around the same age, what's your job ?
Sales job, now dental school
I am currently looking at getting a 2016 F-Type S Coupe. Any tips on things to watch out for or maintenance to do shortly after purchase?
I have two videos devoted to that!
Curious how much it is to insure these. I have 3 cars and an RV on our plan right now.
What kind of cold air intake is your car on? Sounds amazing.
It’s from a now dissolved company called yellow wolf
$500/year...not too bad. Looking at either a used F-Type or V8 Vantage in about 4-5 years. Starting to lean for F-Type as a safer bet.
Both are sweet cars, the f type is faster if that helps lol
Vantages are rebodied AMGs with outdated tech. My vote is for the jag any day.
@@zuhayrkhan7103 Older Vantages, 2005 to 2017. Thoses are NOT rebodied AMGs ;) I'd prefer the N/A 4.7 V8 so that'd be a 2011 and up.
Do you drive your car in the winter time (snow) is it possible if it is all wheel drive?
For a everyday car?
Yea I think that’s totally possible, the car has a snow/ice mode that makes it very subtle
Just got the 2015 F type R. Tuned it at Gintani. Which Downpipe should I buy? And or install?
Velocityap makes a great 200 cell option
Hi
Can you help me finding the 15mm wheels adapter brand that you have used ?
Yea I made a video about wheel spacers, the brand and size is listed in that video
Have you considered the Unique Auto Development module to install CarPlay/AndroidAuto on the factory screen? I have installed it on mine and It brought my 2016 F-Type R up to 2020 standards 👍🏼
Im tempted to give that go! Does it respond well? No lag?
No lag on mine - and the screen is a decent size. It’s not HD but still very clear and responsive. And it looks completely stock which was a big deal for me. Even wireless CarPlay works smoothly - many new cars can’t even tick that box yet 😄 The system is a bit expensive, but worth it in my opinion 👍🏼
Agreed on the "blacking" out of your window trim. I have the same 2015 R same white . I actually had a place chrome delete the car as they call it. In other words anything chrome, was changed to black all the way down to the Jaguar cat symbol. Additionally I had the rims powder coated to a gloss black. All told the rims and chrome blacking was $800 which I thought was very reasonable. Especially here in California. It completely changed the look of the car. I went ahead with my plan to wrap the car as I had already put down a deposit. The wrap is a dark gray. It looks very nice but I'm equally as happy knowing that when the time comes to remove the wrap,, I will still have a look that I am very happy with. But back to the point, you can really change the look of the car with some cost effective touches.
100%, it’s wild how those little touches go such a long way.
I’ll have to look into it, thanks!
You mentioned a infotainment update. How can you know if that's already been done on a used car?
Is there a code to look for ?
Great videos,
I've got the exact same car here in Edmonton Canada.
What I was talking about was the newer models of the car have a larger and better infotainment. Not necessarily a software thing
@@skrrtgarage3922 Sorry Conner.
I was referring to the audio software patch you talked about at the 8:00 mark.
How would I know if it's been done already?
Oh I’m unaware how to see if that’s been done or not. You can call a deal ship and ask though
@@skrrtgarage3922 thanks.
I appreciate the time you take to produce the videos.
Use the tap tap on acceleration pedal above 3k rpm
The straight pipe video
An other nice video with many "good things to know", I definitely want to see the Polyurethane Sway Bar Bushing installation if you can. How come, Jag don't have this as stock part? Especially if it is that cheap.
I’ll try to make a video for it, the lighting won’t be ideal though
@@skrrtgarage3922 no worries for the lighting. Thanks man!
N D - I spoke to one of the parts managers with Jag. The bushings can be purchased through Summit Racing or Advanced Auto separately, OEM fit w/ stiffer feel. I put them on my 2013 XF-SC for AutoCross. I love 'em!!
@@irish-chokolat7665 so, jag service can install it?
@@thef14d Yes. As long as you have the parts and they fit the car, most of them will install it.
thank you for making this video I am so close to buy the f type i have 7k and many month away to go I'm just scared maintenance of
me doing by my self the oil change how much cost for somebody doit for me
Right on, these cars aren’t too difficult to work on though
What model of your car 2016? How many miles when did you buy it?
I had a 2015, it had 29k miles
Just picked up a 2018 Audi R8 V10 Plus...so I feel we might be better matched now instead of the SQ8. So if you see a daytona gray pearl R8, it's also me. Give it some gas.
Congrats Philip, that’s such a killer car!
If you up to it, we should get our cars together for a video! That v10 might be one of few cars that sounds better than the f type lol
@@skrrtgarage3922 yess! Let’s do it.
@@PhilG380 I just tried to follow you on Facebook lol, hopefully its the right person
Did u change ur exhaust ? Its sound more louder than stock ?
No I didn’t change it, but I drive around with the parcel shelf not in the car. It makes it sound louder lol
❤❤❤❤
How are the aftermarket brake pad working out
Very good! Still less brake dust and good braking capability!
Where's your mileage at this point? I think that would add a lot of context to the repairs.
It’s at 40k now
@@skrrtgarage3922 that isn't a terrible maintenance bill for that mileage. It's not like how Jaguar was 15 years ago for sure.
I am looking to buy one but am worried about reliability
Check out my reliability video. It’s honestly within the normal bounds of a car like this
Hey what's up I'm wayne from Orlando FL I want a f type jaguar. What do you think V8 are V6 turbo ?
I LOVE the v8 sound.. so for that reason alone I would recommend the v8
@@skrrtgarage3922 ok cool the v8 it is, thank you for getting back to me !
How have you found it on track being the rwd and not awd?
The RWD version is great, fantastic turn in. Although, it will oversteer if you turn off the traction control..
@@skrrtgarage3922 cheers. So with traction control on around a circuit you can go around corners at speed without the backend coming out all the time?
Yea the car is completely tame and safe so long as traction control stays on. Also the OEM perreli tires on this car have zero grip, to make the car feel even safer/more grippy get some Michelin pilot 4s tires. Makes a huge difference
@@skrrtgarage3922 awesome. Cheers buddy. Really informative videos. Thank you.
Where in OK are you located?
