When referring to the F Type S V8, SLEEK and STYLISH are understatements. Sitting into the drivers seat, is as finger in a glove. Contoured to my form and necessary when you push hard on the accelerator. 'G' forces exist, and you know it. Throatiness of the exhaust, with or without the 'ACTIVE' button, is ear appealing and just plain 'SEXY'. All dash controls, easily readable and steering wheel controls facilitate fast human responses when this machine LEAPS and that it does. I am enjoying the ride by the minute. Thank you JAGUAR.

I bought a one owner 2014 with 19,000 miles. Original msrp $105,000. My price illustrates the depreciation of these cars is incredible but the driving experience is unrivaled. The v8 is crazy fast but driven sensibly is very accommodating. A bit heavy and relatively large (wide) car when compared to other roadsters ( I've owned BMW Z4's, Z3,corvette, 300ZX, etc.) and this is as comfortable as any of those and far more exhilarating. #1 fun car! UPDATE: I have owned a Jaguar F-Type V8S for 4+ years and still feel that sense of excitement and anticipation that I felt when I first bought it. It has been as reliable as my Porsche boxster. It is exactly what it was built and advertised to be, an exhilarating GT car. It's nature and performance are definitely befitting of the Jaguar badge. For me, because of it's exceptional good looks and top notch performance, it is a keeper.

I use this car is my daily commuter. I did have small problems with the car ; noise from the vacuum pump behind the driver seat, the drivers handle going in and out numerous times when using the fob to unlock, the stereo causing vibrations in the door panels and an overall poor sound quality. The convertible top motor blew on the second day of owning the car resulting in a tow back to the shop with the repair that lasted over a month and a half, the ultimate black metallic paint on the hood failed with the hood still needing to be repainted. Paint failure on the side body panels behind the drver/passenger doors. the infotainment system locked up and needed to be "rebooted" after a software upgrade. Be prepared to get to know your service manager by his first name.... for that matter the entire dealership.

Best sports car I've driven. Tested 911S, Maserati, BMW and nothing is as much fun or excitement. Best looking, freshest and most exhilarating. After two years, I feel even more satisfied with this car than before. Never had so many compliments or fun. At the end of the three year lease I was both sorry to see the car go and eager to get into a more comfortable and less noisy one. Great sports car and I can recommend it for enthusiasts. As I take frequent 500 mile drives ( about 6 times a year) it's not a "cruiser" and is not as fun for long drives. Otherwise, fantastic car.

F-Type V8S

Just took delivery of F-Type V8S. BRG exterior and Red Interior. Beautiful looks Beautiful engine noise and great fun to drive. Wish I could post my picture here to show off. The car is a bit small for me but, I am very tall. Seats are comfortable and supportive, handling seems very tight. but it is a very small car. Rear view is extremely limited but it is a convertible. Still too early to say too much but, I am already scared of the car's performance.
