I had to order the F-Pace R-Sport from the factory in England because I couldn't find the options that I was looking for at the dealerships around my area. This R-Sport 2.0d has good looks, great torque, fun to drive and awesome gas mileage - 37 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. There were some initial issues with reliability that was related to check-engine-light and the A/C. These were fixed at the dealership. I have owned this vehicle for over 2 years now and I am very pleased with it. All the initial problems I had after owning the vehicle seem to have disappeared. I now have 12,000 miles and the vehicle is running very well and I am very happy with it. I will recommend this F-Pace R-Sport as a buy.

20 D -180 hp much better than you think

we are from Montreal Canada and bought our 20D -R Sport about 3 weeks ago and made our usual drive from Montreal to Phoenix Arizona to stay the winter home. Having to order this SUV without driving the 20D was a bit scary after test driving the 35T--I thought the 180 HP would be underpowered --noisy and lack acceleration especially uphill. Wow--was I ever surprised with my very first diesel. The torque really does all the work effortlessly. It's plenty fast enough. Driving at speeds of 75-82 mpg---with 600 lbs of luggage in the back for 10-14 hours a day--we were getting 35-41mpg--pretty awesome. One time passing a car at 75 mpg the excelartion was so good that in a matter of seconds I was at 96mpg. Coming from Montreal where gas prices are between $4-5/ Gallon--the gas mileage was a factor in buying this car. I have been a Lexus RX and NX SUV owner for 17 years and needed a change-they were getting a little boring and their Navigation is so bad I carried a Garmin at all times--it would take me either the wrong way or out of my way many times--The Jag Navigation system was awesome and even told you to prepare to exit to the right or left --in 2 miles--giving you plenty of time to get in the proper lane--never missed an exit or panicked to get over quickly to exit. The Seats are so comfortable I would say they are equal to the Lexus RX and superior to the smaller NX--NEVER got a sore back or butt even after being in the car for 14 hours. The 14 ways adjustable seats are worth the option. The car handles flawlessly and you feel like you are driving the car with all 4 PAWS on the road--not driving a car that is on top of 4 wheels. I have seen and read almost every review on this car and the few little complaints that came up are non-issues--the window controls are up on top---not an issue--how often do you roll down your windows?? And it would spoil the design of the inside doors--then they would look like every other car.--The Standard Navigation is great and easy to use--no need to upgrade there. Plus my wife can use it and look for things while we drive where Lexus and many others block you out--(again the need for a Garmin in my Lexus so you don't have to stop) Base stereo at 380 watts is awesome--you don't need 825 watts. Some said the interior plastics looked cheap--I did not see any difference from Jag and the Lexus that would matter--if so--you cant see them anyway-Haven't tried the voice command yet--but I gave up trying with all my Lexus SUV'S --I have 5 of them over the years and none worked. The driving position is fantastic--you can see the front and sides of the car--this is the only SUV my wife can drive where she can actually see the front and sides--other SUV's--all she saw was glass out the front which makes it more difficult to judge distances when turning or parking.The 20D is very quiet and after driving Lexus for 17 years with quiet and comfort--you do want that in a Luxury car--so I prefer the 20d over the 35T--which is pretty noisy due to its extra power and exhaust system--it does sound sporty and is faster--but if you drive like that you will pay at the pumps and probably get a few extra tickets as well--we don't drive cars like that in the real world anyway---if you do--try the 20D is Dynamic Sports mode--it gives you plenty of pick up and a sporty drive. I do hope this car is as reliable as Lexus was to me--in 17 years and 5 different SUV's with Lexus--I went to the dealer only Once--for a rattle in the roof---that's why I kept buying them---just couldn't put up with their Navigation system with the Mouse and Finger pad---actually was pretty dangerous to use while driving for anything as it controlled stereo and other things---Touch System is the Jaguar I so much easier and faster-- at least your passenger can use it so you can keep your eyes on the road. Great job Jaguar---if it's as reliable as I am used to--I will be a customer for a long time.--

Unbelievable fuel economy; currently receiving 34mpg in town and 40mpg on highway at 70mph, computed against fuel receipts. Fuel economy continues to increase as miles accumulate, currently at 8500 miles. No cost option of 18" light weight rims and tires greatly improves ride with no effect on handling. Receives stares everywhere it is parked.Great handling in rural Tennessee mountains. No reliability issues to date. I hesitated to purchase but am totally satisfied and would do so again. Update at 16200 miles: vehicle continues to impress with fuel economy and cost of ownership. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat! Update at 22,000 miles: continuing to be impressed with the vehicle's performance; fuel mileage continues to improve-recent trip at 70mph yielded 41.5mpg. Driver seat still the most comfortable of any car I have owned.Up date at 30,000 miles: Fuel mileage continues to increase; City mileage up to 36mpg with highway holding at 39-40. Ride comfort improved as suspension loosens slightly. Wonderful having a vehicle with no cost maintenance for five years. Just reached the five year mark. So sad that Jaguar dropped the diesel option. I’d buy one again in a heartbeat. Finally receiving recognition from the automotive community by its five year depreciation of only 30% in the Southeast US. Now at 48000 miles all characteristics remain the same as previously noted. Ride improved by replacing original W speed rated original tires with H speed ratings. Still regret Diesel engine no longer available.

Timing chain broke at 80K miles destroying engine. Quoted $25K to replace. Timing chains should last a minimum 200K miles. This is a known problem with this engine and Jaguar won’t do a recall. Also I discovered there is a major issue with the turbos destroying the engine. Will never buy a Jaguar again.

The F-Pace I own is 6 months old and the computer system has caused the entire car to go haywire (from the side view mirrors to the car not starting at all). The car is in shop for the 2nd time in a month. In addition, the roadside assistance kept me waiting for 3 hours.

Great car the Turbo diesel is very quiet , the car runs like a Swiss clock at 80 mph . In Eco mode running at 65 mph I get about 41 miles per gallon ( CRAZY). In the Dynamic sport mode mileage went down about 29 MPG . I live in New Jersey and now Diesel is cheaper than gas . The car runs and feels great and you see every thing in this SUV . The size is great not to big , lots of room. It feels light around the turns and stops very stable .

Bought it at 68,000 miles, now its at 90,000. Start/Stop didn't work and Engine blew on me. Warranty didn't cover anything, total rip off. 11,000 job, car note, and insurance. Worse decision I ever made.

Great car that is a blast to drive, super quiet, very comfortable, and practical. Not one issue!!! If you have any mechanical background, you know how well this car is built. It is a steal right now at the current prices. It is a better buy then the mercedes, lexus, Porsche, Audi, BMW, or any other luxury SUV. Now that the full reviews have come out, all positive, I suspect it will be harder to find one with all the options you want. My family just loves it for long trips. I love it for the back roads.

Bought my 2017 F-Pace 20D new and have had nothing but problems. I've have it in over 24 times for issues like trim falling off, rear hatch wouldn't close, electrical issues, numerous engine issues. It's been in the shop now for over a month because the fuel rail cracked and when the shop replaced it, they sprayed diesel fuel all over the engine and now they can't get the smell out of it. And it's also gone in to "restricted performance" mode reducing the top speed of the vehicle to 20 MPH, very dangerous!! I initiated a "buyback" the the lovely people at Jaguar said it didn't qualify because it's not been in the shop for the same reason more that twice. No logic here!! I now have a lawyer involved.

I purchased this Jag new in December 2016. During the first three months I drove to the Bay Area from the Northwest, the front differential failed upon my return. I was then taking the Jag to Chicago and the dealer shipped a new deferential and installed it the day I was leaving. I have not had a problem with any other part of the vehicle since. The turbo Diesel engine runs great with 37 city and 40-42MPG on the highway. In sport mode its fun in twisty's and the torque of the Diesel engine keep up well with traffic. I drive the car mostly on long road trips as my other car is a Vespa. I have 50,000+ miles on the car and am wondering if a extended warrantee is of some use going forward. The vehicle still gets lots of looks an is a joy to drive.

Wanted something other than an SUV

I was looking for six months for the right car. I have driven SUVs the past 15 years. An AWD sedan was at the top of the list for fuel economy and performance. The FPace stumbled across my research. Once I saw the diesel's gas mileage, I had to give it a shot. An SUV that drives like a performance sedan yet has towing capacity and great gas mileage. The trifecta! Love this SUV!

I enjoyed my car for the first month or two that is until I encountered a chip in my windshield. I had it repaired however the chip ended up traveling and the windshield had to be replaced. (A $1,300+ replacement). Now 6 months after owning the vehicle I'm experiencing more chips with the possibility of having it replaced again. I live in a small town with little traffic so the car has little exposure to road debris such as rocks etc.. The windshield is fragile and sounds like breaking glass anytime something hits it leaving me to see $$$$ signs.
