First SUV that wasn't a Toyota and loving it. Drove interstate speeds for a long distance and averaged 30mpg in eco mode. At in town speeds, I sometimes opt for the paddle shifters as the car does hunt for the proper gear on inclines. The turbo inline 2.0 4 cylinder has not disappointed us in performance and the handling is definitely Jaguar sedan type. Acceleration is VERY responsive. The seats hold you firmly on sharp turns and the vehicle holds the road like a sports sedan. All the cargo room you'd ever want and, while we probably differ from other SUV owners, we like to feel the road and there is just enough with the F-Pace with the 19" wheels to realize you are on a road and not sitting in your living room on cushy couch. For us, the amenities and electronics are not distracting and very functional. We did purchase a set of Worth floor mats to protect the carpeting as we intend on keeping the vehicle for quite awhile and they are well worth the $200. Jury is still out on cost of ownership but the factory warranty, while not great, is very adequate. Have had the vehicle less than 30 days and most categories in the rating scheme are N/A at this time. 06/05/18... A few too many little things that don't work as they should (especially for the price you pay) with technology, climate control, remote start app, door locks. We have found that it's to our benefit to let the engine warm in the winter as you really get turbo lag if you don't. The auto did perform really well on an extended trip and the ride was, in our opinion, more comfortable than a Toyota 4Runner. The gas mileage averaged 27 in the standard driving mode. The front door opening could be 1-2 inches taller even with the seats pretty back as far as possible. 12/05/18.... Too bad they don't make vehicles nowadays to get from point A to point B without all the "extras". Too many little things can go wrong or don't work as advertised and the really sad thing, the car dealers don't have a clue what the cause of the problem might be nor how to fix it right the first time. Such was our experience with the F-Pace and Aristocrat Motors in Merriam, KS. All this finally culminated with us trading our F-Pace after only 12 months of ownership for a more reliable SUV and much better service. Unfortunately, the F-Pace joins the ranks of overloaded SUV's that todays driver thinks he needs to get from point A to point B.

2018 Jaguar F-PACE 35t Prestige 4dr SUV AWD w/Prod. End 09/17 (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)

Purchased the 35t Prestige V6. Highly recommend the optional LED headlights for this model year as they project brighter light and throw a greater distance down the road. Overall power, acceleration, traction, handling, ride smoothness, comfort and interior space are top notch. The sound system is not bad and I regularly average over 24 mpg in mixed driving running Eco mode, but can reach 28mpg on longer highway drives. Heated windshield also helps defrost the front glass quickly and effortlessly on icy winter days. Smart systems like audible alerts for highway speed cameras are helpful. Ran into some issues with a defective differential, but it was replaced under warranty and no issues since. This is a good alternative to the Porsche Macan for those who need more leg room and cargo room.

So far not so good

Three days after my purchase, I began having issues with the vehicle making strange noises and slowing down abruptly while on the road, the gas cap warning light and the engine light stayed on as well. I shared this with the dealership and it took several trips there before the grunting and speed reduction issue was corrected. It’s been a full 2 months since I complained of the issues and last week after having repairs completed regarding the gas cap and engine light at the dealership, I’m still having the same issues. When I first got the vehicle it was love at first sight but now I deeply regret my purchase. I’ve made a total of 6 trips to Rockville regarding this matter and it’s been a disaster.

SUV/Crossover most fun to drive

2018 Jaguar F-PACE S 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)

Best looking suv one on the market. No comparison. Bought S trim with supercharged V6 and 380hp and is super sporty. Same engine as the Jaguar F type. A little pricey but comes with a lot of standard features. Handles great. It really hugs the road. Pick up is great and very responsive. Very smooth 8-speed transmission. Interior very nice and intuitive. If you don’t want a typical suburb suv that looks the same as most others and want your time on the road not to be boring then consider this car or get the R Sport trim with the V6 340 hp engine. Has most of the options, but not the exceptional feature of configurable adaptive dynamics and adaptive surface response systems for the engine. There are many good cars in competition out there: Q5, Macan, X5, XC 90, GLE 300, etc. Tried them all. None drove as exciting as the F Pace.

I was a Mercedes Benz customer and have tried most luxury SUVs cars, but once we drove the F-Pace for the first time we knew this is the one. It is like driving a sports car in a Sedan platform, very responsive, suspension feels great and stability is surprisingly good. I have admit that cockpit is not my favorite, as the Velar it the best right now, but driving it is more fun than the Velar guaranteed
