I skipped the R-Sport because the 20 inch wheels ride and accelerate better than the 22s, but this is the sportiest SUV this side of the much smaller Macan or Alfa. Right in the middle of the Macan and Cayenne and X3 and X5 which for me was the sweet spot. I regularly tow a 6x12' trailer loaded to about 4000 lbs with this and it has no problems stopping or going whatsoever. I even towed it up a wet grass/mud hill while loaded and I don't even think a single tire slipped. You can nail it full throttle in the rain and it doesn't spin, it just goes like hell. The AWD on this SUV is phenomenal. Is the mileage great, no, but for the power and size of this vehicle there is nothing better out there unless you want to spend $100k on a Model X and have the trim fall off. Since buying this I have duplicated all of it's rational capabilities with other vehicles and it makes no sense for me to keep making payments on it, but I love it too much to get rid of it. It is a great combination of sport, utility and luxury that I feel is just too good to part with. I've had one issue, it wouldn't eject a cd, and the dealership replaced the unit for free, although I've never played another cd since then.

Paid little more for 2018 model but wanted to have most of the initial quality issues to be solved. So far after 700miles of driving no major issues. Car drives perfectly. Its spacious, quick, comfortable (after adjusting tire pressure which was to high initially) and corners like a sedan. Also interior, in contrary to many reviews, feels fine. No squeaks, rattles etc and materials are quite pleasant. Audio system is very good as well as navigation (after couple of days I've stopped using google maps on my smart phone). Great car, absolutely no regrets buying it. Even though the initial quality is very good I am little worried about long term reliability but the 5years/60000miles full warranty helps. 1 year update - car still works great and is as much fun as at the beginning. It was very dependable in the snow over the winter. ICTP was updated to fix couple of minor bugs as well as upgrade to 4G network but other than that car runs trouble free. Still hoping for Apple CarPlay upgrade at some point. 2nd year update - 36k miles and still very satisfied customer. After latest infotainment software upgrade I was able to add Apple Car play as well as OTA options for future upgrades (I hope this will really work). Still drives and feels like new, including the interior, no mechanical issues whatsoever. During the Tahoe winter I had a set of winter Michelin x-ice tires and the car was unstoppable in the snow. Consistently getting 25-27MPG during relaxed hwy cruising.

Jaguar Rebirth Without Question, Not one issue!!!

I've had my Jaguar F Pace S since March of 2017 and I bought it new with 8 miles on it. I've driven it long and hard on many trips and in daily driving and always performs at the top of it's game since the first day I bought it. The biggest misinformation issue I've noticed on the YouTube reviews by the professional talking press and personal opinion heads is that it has a rough ride. But what everyone failed to mention is that there is a comfort mode option which is what I used the majority of the time unless I'm out intentionally racing around for fun. The ride is just as smooth as all the other cars I drove which included but was not limited to Porsche, Audi, Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, etc. I've driven them all and have own most of them. 99% of the talking head video reviews are non owners who spend just minutes with the car or any car. But the F Pace and F Pace S all ride with great handling and performance and ride just as smooth in comfort mode. My ponies get up and go religiously without fail. I have no thoughts on the Jaguar service department because I've never had to use it, other than my normal oil changes, etc. The warranty was a huge seller for me as well. Nothing like it on any other car that I'm aware of. I drove all the Porsche SUV's and other than needless expensive wood species or other non important things to me they have no comparison to the Jaguar F Pace, especially the aesthetics. Their almost as boring looking as the Tesla in my opinion. It makes absolutely no sense rolling out all the extra dough for Maserati, Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc. just to have an ego badge and while looking financially ignorant to be gaudy and showy. The F Pace is a much more sophisticated statement indeed, not to mention the most discrete and best looking car out of the whole bunch. I come from the high end design world who gets scale, etc. and making all types of design statements for the the top 10% of the 1%. And Jaguar hit the nail on the head with the F-pace from aesthetics, to performance, to reliability, and value.

My 2018 JAGUA... F-Pace

2018 Jaguar F-PACE 30t Premium 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I originally purchased a 2017 F-Pace. I had trouble with the "infotainment" center and the dealer eventually replaced the car with a 2018 F-Pace since they could not fix it. I thought it was the first model year and they just needed to work out the issues. So far with the 2018 F-Pace I started with more problems with the infotainment system, they updated the software and this time it works most of the time, the sunroof cracked (they said a small rock must have hit it-I think I would have heard the rock hit it, but ok), the check coolant light kept coming on, I added more coolant even though the car was not that old, the light came on again, I called the dealer, the hoses popped off when I was driving and smoke started pouring out of the hood (I thought the car was going to burst into flames), they towed it to the dealership and replaced the hoses, the check coolant light keeps coming on, the engine fan runs like a jet engine, they replaced the water pump, the coolant light kept coming on again, the water pump was replaced a second time, the engine fan makes strange gurgling noises as if something else is wrong.... The letters fell off the back of the car and I was driving a JAGUA until I took it to the dealer to fix, they replaced the R on the logo and re-glued the rest of the letters so they didn't fall off too . , I sent a certified letter to Jaguar USA and never heard from them. I guess they only respond to negative posts online. What a shame.

Jaguar F Pace Road Trip to US National Parks.

Purchased a 2018 F-Pace Presige 3.5t V6 in July 2018 my first ever Jaguar and have been absolutely delighted. Took a Road Trip from Minneapolis to Mount Rushmore > The Bad-Lands> Yellowstone>Grand Teton>Arches>Canyonlands and back 3900 miles in 10 days.....an awesome drive with all conditions and the F Pace was brilliant. The overall handing is exceptional and ride most comfortable and quiet for highways, long hill climbs , steep sharp corners. The acceleration to 80mph ( Western Highways) is exhilarating. Storage more than adequate with easy access. After 14,000 miles ready for second annual service with zero issues to date. I suspect this SUV will continue to keep company with my 1973 TR6 for a long time .
