      SANIC That's because you have no idea what driving is other than playing Need for speed probably... that "2/10" is the kind of stuff used by geeks on gaming forums, and tells everything about you already
      Manual gearbox is more fun and satisfying to drive... And sometimes Fun is more important that money

      You want the engaging transmission in sports cars. Only thing I’d want with an auto is either a luxury sedan, a track oriented car, or something with a ton of power. In America, no one except old people and a car people know how to drive a manual though so vast majority of cars are auto here. Especially econo cars

      LastHumansGarage The crappy playback is a hardware issue. My laptop can only play up to 720P while my desktop can play 1080P no problem. Laptop is about 4 years old and the desktop was built last year. It will generally only do so when your GPU is being worked too hard, but I don't know your pc so that;s just a guess.

I've been trumpeting the superb CTS-V and Fabulous Mustang GT's, we're just beginning to see in the UK! BTW. You guys blow Top Gear out of the water, (oh, erm, no!

  • @johntechwriter
    @johntechwriter 6 лет назад

    Matt, you must like this model, seeing as it's your third Smoking Tire episode devoted to the F-Type. The coupe version you drive here is prettier but I'd prefer a roadster because a drop top is more in the British sports car tradition. All the other specs for the car you’re driving - supercharged V6, RWD, 6-speed manual - seem optimal.
    In Jaguar's design language going back the to the D-Type, this car's “fuselage” approach results in too tight an interior for a guy your size. But at 5’10” 170 lb. it would fit me fine. Your brief drive informs me the car has more than adequate real world power, and it communicates well with the driver thanks to good feedback through the steering, and smooth shifting via the 6-speed manual ZF transmission.
    Back in my 20s I owned an E-Type so am aware of the vices as well as the virtues of that classic. This V6/manual version of the F-Type seems a worthy successor, and I salute Jaguar for offering the correct configuration, while no doubt aware they will never recover their development costs. This is the one the motor heads will want and there aren’t many car buffs in the younger generation. But for a savvy buyer, I predict this car will become a collector's item and an excellent long term investment.
    I’m an old motor head now and drive an earlier XJR. To me, the car Matt's driving is in the finest Jaguar tradition. It's beautiful, real-world fast, and something you can live with day to day. It’s the most appealing of the new generation of Jags, and one of the very few modern examples of the traditional sports car.
    The Brits have their own approach to the sports car and this model seems faithful to it. In terms of desirability it holds its own against anything offered by the Germans and the Italians. I applaud Ratan Tata of Tata Group who rescued Jaguar and Land Rover from near bankruptcy a decade ago and invested billions in the long-term resurrection of these brands.
    Tata's investment saved some 14,000 jobs in Britain. Management, design, engineering and manufacturing remain all-British - and current models like this one show Tata's gamble is paying off. The newly introduced all-electric Jag SUV Is a hit with the critics, and rumor has it that the upcoming electric full-sized XJ sedan is going to be be spectacular.
    With a future expected to be dominated by self-driving electric plastic pods, we can only be encouraged by the comeback of a manufacturer of driver's cars in every sense of the term.

    • @VorticalOatmeal
      @VorticalOatmeal 8 лет назад

      Lol, this past winter we got ~5 feet of snow in 36 hours. Keep in mind our county decided to not salt the roads before hand so the roads were not driveable for even a 4x4, until about day 3 after the snow. Sorry bud, on most roads in PA during winter would stop that car even with winter tires before it could move a foot (mostly because we have the worst roads in the nation but meh).

    • @trippplefive
      @trippplefive 8 лет назад

      Vortical Oatmeal you should watch some rwd w/snow tires videos on youtube. a 4x4 is not an excuse for running all seasons in the winter. I bet that's what you are running, aren't you?

    • @VorticalOatmeal
      @VorticalOatmeal 8 лет назад

      I have watched videos of RWD cars and winter tires in "snow". Which apparently means well kept highways to most youtubers which have been de-iced and are free of snow, and are now just wet. Where I live, the snow will not be moved that quickly and often times the snow is above the bottom of most coupes and sedans. Also, of course I would run all season tires year round. Tires are way to expensive and I'm not paying that much for something I don't need. I'm driving slow anyway if it is snowy.

  • @erich835
    @erich835 9 лет назад

    So what's the verdict TheSmokingTire ? Would you have the V6 with the stick, or V8 with the auto box? Anything in your spidey senses make you think they'll look at a manual for the V8 next year? Also, any idea why the decision not to make a manual V8? I'm guessing it would have to do with making a second transmission to handle the power of the V8 and forecasted sales numbers not justifying that?

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  9 лет назад +1

      Eric H I would have the V6S Coupe with a stick. They don't have a manual gearbox that will hold the power of the V8, and the cost of developing one wouldn't yield the returns.

      Based on the many reviews of the V6 S, it seems most reviewers think this is the better, more usable choice for the F-Type. Plus, it's the only way to get RWD and a manual. To my mind, it's a no brainer. I've never suffered from horsepower envy, so I couldn't care less about the numbers. All I care about is the driving experience and seat of pants feel, and this V6 S is the winner. It's absolutely the one I'd choose.

      You'd never use the V8's full potential but it's cool to have and hear. You can only get the manual in the V6, you can floor the V6 more often and ring it out, cheaper for the same look, better gas mileage just to put it out there.

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  9 лет назад +11

      Andrew Shulman No, but they should be paying attention to their rearview mirror. An attentive, considerate driver knows what's going on around them. When a faster car comes up behind me on the motorway or on a canyon road, when it is safe, I pull out of the way and let them by. Cars that drive for miles on end with no idea there is a car right behind them trying to get by and no attempt to allow that car to pass is what pisses me off, not that they are just trying to enjoy scenery. And if they do see me and don't let me pass, that's even worse.
      And by the way, this was filmed at like 645 in the morning. No one is sight seeing, these are local commuters.

    • @durkley
      @durkley 9 лет назад +2

      TheSmokingTire I mean, it's one thing in the canyons, where there are shoulders and such. But I can see why someone who's commuting doesn't want to pull over and delay their day because you're doing 60+ in a 35. I like watching the videos, and I'm a fan, but I just don't think spirited driving deserves ambulance/emergency vehicle treatment.

    • @DazdnCofuzd
      @DazdnCofuzd 9 лет назад +1

      TheSmokingTire I think the canyon drive is totally different than the road you were on for this video. I wouldn't expect ppl to pull over on that type of road. As you know since you live out that way, the canyons probably have that rep for canyon driving and ppl(most) will oblige if possible. I have a stretch of roads I drive to let my car loose for a bit, however; it's also a high drive area for its' access to biking/hiking/and wineries. It sucks, because of all the turns, and sweeping turns to let my car and my self have fun, but seem to get stuck by someone who don't drive over speed limit. So, I have to pace myself or go somewhere else(which usually ends up being the same). Just think win some and lose some.

      If I was that loser in the Envoy I would have for sure pulled over...especially so I could check out dat ass on the F-type.

    so the question is would you buy an F-Type over a Corvette C7? Its hard but I would have to say yes. anyone else agree??

    Your speed limits are so low.....here in Ireland that'd easily be a 80 km/h (50mp/h) road, maybe even 100 km/h www.irishcarrentals.com/images/speedlimit.jpg .

    Random question and forgive me if it makes me look like a bit of twonk for not knowing this but does anyone do a manual gearbox that can change it's gear ratio's? The ZF (auto with paddles) in mine shortens the gear ratios in dynamic mode an all that jazz, why can't a manual do the same? Surely there's a way so if you get out on track you can have longer gears for a bigger track with large straights or if you're on a twisty one you can get them shortened n bring down that 0-60 time :P I was surprised that this went back to 5.1 0-60 with the manual tbh. I thought it would have come in a shade under that. It's amazing how many cars in the 300 - 380hp range all have 5.1 as a time with a manual box. I know it's not the most important factor in a car especially on track but it's a stat and people like to quote stats lol!

      Chris Dorgan The ZF automatic does not shorten the gear ratios in dynamic mode. It changes the throttle response and shift pattern, but the gear ratios are fixed.

    • @Patrick94GSR
      @Patrick94GSR 9 лет назад +1

      The only gearbox that can change ratios is a CVT continuously variable transmission, but really those have no fixed ratios at all, but more like infinite ratios. Many hybrid cars use them. Our company's Fusion Hybrid has it and it's weird accelerating but the engine RPM pretty much stays the same.

    • @Patrick94GSR
      @Patrick94GSR 9 лет назад +1

      Overdrive just means the input/output shaft gear ratio is lower than 1:1. Gear ratios do not change in a gearbox with individual discreet gear combinations or "speeds".

      Patrick94GSR Wish we could split gears in street cars. Have both long ratios and short ratios haha.

      semi truck gearbox... low range of 6 gears and then high range with 6 more gears lol. :-P
