F Pace "S"

Wow, we just picked up our F Pace "S" after a three month wait. And was it worth every minute. Traded in a 12 Mercedes GLK 350 and that car wasn't even close to being in this category. This car is sweet. We got the British Racing Green, with the black 20" rim. What a car! A looker! The interior is not plush, just plain comfortable. Only gave a poor rating in traction, cuz the wife hit the gas on the wet road with the 380hp engine, and had to hang on in a turn. It's that mean. I'm the husband of the owner and I love my two drives in it so far. Hope resale value holds in 4-5 years, unlike the GLK-350. Meantime, I can't wait for my turn to drive. Did I mention the app that auto starts the car. My wife is freaking over that. Love it. Cooling seats awaiting in the summer, and heat when winter comes. This car is much more than all the reviews you have read. They got this one right, right out of the box...

An amazing experience so far

Ah, the Jaguar F-Pace... An SUV about 10 years to late. But, better late than never. The F-Pace is an amazingly attractive car and that is what attracted me at first, then they told me about the Elite Maintenance Program (5 Years no cost maintenance) then the fact that the average invoice for a Jaguar hovers on average around $4,000 dollars. The 380 hp V6 equipped on the S trim is much more power than the average F-Pace driver will need, but does come in handy for short passing roads and highway merging etc. Gas mileage is of some concern especially because the fuel tank can only hold 16.6 gallons of gas. A 4,000 pound SUV with a combined average of 20mpg should be equipped with at least a 17.4 gallon gas tank. Again Im sure Jaguar engineers have a reason for such a small gas tank but I wish they would have made it a bit larger. The In Control Touch Pro infotainment system is amazing based solely on it being a touch screen (I do not believe Mercedes, BMW, Lexus or any other luxury brand comes equipped with touch screens anymore). The Brakes don't seem as powerful as they should be but I still have confidence in them. Overall the F-Pace has been an amazing car so far and has definitely gathered some looks especially when I select neutral and push the gas down and everyone hears the engine pop. Definitely worth a look.

Pinch me, am I dreaming?

I am attracted to SUV's. Recently while walking through a parking garage, my eye caught a very uniquely styled SUV. I immediately walked over to it to investigate what was it? To my surprise it was the F Pace - "S" model Jaguar, SUV. Holy smokes this car is gorgeous. I rushed home to educate myself on this car by stopping in to the Edmunds.com website. I was able to research and compare this car to other competitive models. Here is what I found. It is the widest of all SUV's in this category. The F Pace - "S" model has that European interior styling in red and black - with red stitching accenting it's curves; very sharp and appealing. The drivers seat is very comfortable and mimics the feeling of being held tightly in the cockpit of a race car. (It is very comfortable). The cargo space is far more generous than other competitors. I have had this car since April 24th, 2017 and have been anxiously waiting to write this review, allowing ample time to report on it's many features. Here is what I have found. This car is FAST - I can't emphasize that enough. I also own a 2013 Challenger - Hemi 375 HP. The Jag's super charged 3.0 6 cyl. 380 HP engine is fabulous and just as fast - however the Challenger is a 6 sp. manual shift for the thrill seeker in me! (Female - 63 years old!) The transmission shifts smooth and seamless, unlike my 2014 Cherokee that had a 8 spd. choppy transmission (replaced after 2 years - a known problem with this model year). "Highly responsive" is the way I would describe not only the acceleration but the steering, rode handling, and breaking system in this Jaguar, SUV. I have encouraged my family members to drive it and give me their critique - all agree - it is: #1 FAST, #2 Very Responsive, #3 Comfortable, #4 Smooth ride. A few reviewers have commented on the placement of the power window buttons, I really don't mind that they are located on the window ledge. I tend to drive with my left arm on the ledge anyway. Yes, the 16.6 gallon gas tank could be bigger. It takes premium gas, not a deal breaker to me as the Challenger does too. I wish the gas cap was a locking one, instead of spring loaded. (Hopefully the days of putting sugar in someones gas tank are a thing of the past). The touch screen is easy to navigate with only one caveat; changing the radio stations from either the steering wheel or the touch screen results in a 2-3 second delay. In other words, it doesn't immediately switch to another radio station at first touch. When using the voice command option whether the turn by turn navigation, or voice activated call system- it results in hearing a soothing women's voice, unlike Alexa and Siri. The navigation system is accurate and easy to use once you adapt to it. The interior luminescent night lighting is sharp! The rear camera feature that can be viewed with just a touch of a button at any time, even when the car is in motion - is awesome. Speaking of the backup camera - it provides a wide view that is extremely clear - seemingly HD quality. A few things could be improved upon in my opinion; I don't like the position location of the volume/channel control adjacent to the vehicle information section positioned on the left side of the steering wheel. For some reason when changing the radio station from that location, I end up hitting the middle "OK" button which sends you into a menu of car information, such as the lane departure settings, or front collision settings. I find it a little annoying. It seems that car manufacturers are compelled to be eco efficient. When stopped at a light, with your foot on the brake, the car engine shuts off. Once you lift your foot from the brake the engine restarts immediately. This takes some getting used to, but the good news is, you can turn it off with a touch of a button, anytime. I love having the option to turn something off. There are 3 modes in which to drive this car in; eco (highway, rode trip mode), normal, and sport. There are some differences when switching from normal to sport - but honestly, this car is so fast in normal mode - I personally don't feel the sport mode is necessary. If I need anymore speed under my foot, I just switch to my Challenger - 6 spd Manual - Hemi, for that thrill ride "fix." My major dilemma with this car is whether or not I buy it after the 3 year lease is up. I love it so much, I can't imagine turning it in. I have never leased a car before. I never thought I could afford to drive a Jag! By comparison, a fully loaded Ford Explorer, Lexus, Volvo XC 90, Lincoln MKC, or Lexus - all fall into the range of what this car costs. (65K - fully loaded "S" model). IF you do the research and read the reviews you will hear the common theme, this car out performs the Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, or Lexus, SUV's. I HIGHLY recommend the Jaguar - F Pace - you won't be sorry! One last important detail: The Warranty is the best of all - 6yrs/60K.

F-Pace Sport- Shopping

Having been a Jag owner for years, and watching then get much better, I decided that I would trade my Porsche SUV on the F-Pace. Test drove one at Jag Dealer in Richmond VA and confirmed that I would buy. I wanted a specific color and list of options. Dealer offered to order but decided to see what was available in US. Dealer located 4 in US with my specs and he spent a week negotiating with another dealer to trade. I have only 294 miles so honeymoon not over but so far car is everything I expected and more. I've owned Land Rovers, Porsche, and Chevrolet SUV's but this one is perfect in size and power. Mixed average MPG of 20. Recommend consideration if you are in the market for a top of the line SUV.

Drives like a dream, when it's not in the shop

It is a beautiful car, it handles like a dream on the highway, but mine has been in the shop for a total of one month out of the four we've owned it. And it is not fixed yet. Electrical system baffles everybody. Service at the dealership not what you would expect from a luxury car, but they seem quite overwhelmed with work. Must be all those cars that need repairs. Also, under the steering wheel, the collar surrounding it, a clump of plastic, apparently manufacturing defect. Seriously? Review update The car is almost three years old, it rattles from a couple of places, it's in the process of having speakers replaced, I had to replace even the key FOB as the rubber was peeling off. We have a 2012 Jetta that is holding up better. Such a shame for such a nice car, but the quality control is dismal.
