2015 Jaguar F-TYPE R 2dr Coupe (5.0L 8cyl S/C 8A)
16 of 16 people found this review helpful
I traded my XKRS in for the F Type R Coupe. What a difference in feel and performance. The XKRS has the same motor, same HP and torque but feels so much different. The XKRS you have to drive very carefully or else you will find yourself pointing in the wrong direction. The R Coupe coaxes you in to throwing it around. It feels solid and connected, sure footed and playful. Everything the XKRS was not. Well done Jaguar!
Amazing car

I have owned the car (2016 F-Type S convertible with a manual) since new and it now has about 43K miles on it. It has been utterly reliable. No squeaks or rattles. The engine sound is phenomenal and easily controlled. The manual transmission is pretty good, but I've had other cars with manuals that felt a bit better (a Miata and a Bullitt Mustang). The Jaguar is quick and intuitive. I drive VERY fast with great confidence--very few cars can outrun me. I keep it well-maintained and it looks and drives the same as the day I bought it, which is to say superlative. It's gorgeous, still looks brand new, still turns heads. Service has been easy every time. So far, all service and parts have been free apart from new tires, brake pads, an air filter, and throttle body cleaning. I had a 911 (997) before my Jaguar and I like the Jag much more--it's easier to drive (the clutch in particular) and the car is far better balanced owing to its front-engine design. Also, 911s are everywhere and no one notices--the F-Type is beautiful and rare. Update: Now it has about 64K miles, and nothing has changed except now I have to pay for oil changes etc. which were free for the first 60K. The car is as awesome as ever and I still love it!

2016 Jaguar F-TYPE S 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl S/C 6M)

This is my third F-Type in two months. The first was a "Certified" 2014 auto "S" with 12k mi., the second was another "Certified" 2014 auto base with 40k mi., the third is a previously unregistered 2016 Jaguar executive car with a manual (an "S") with 5k miles. Good: all three look great. The acceleration with the autos is great...the manual less so. Bad: all three had/have defective fuel fillers, defective stereos, squeaks/chirps/rattles/buzzes. (And the second one had a radiator hose rupture during the test drive...but I still bought it after it was fixed.) The first two were each in the shop for a week just after purchase due to these KNOWN problems. The dealers admitted they knew there were service bulletins out for these problems, but stated that Jag won't pay them to fix these problems pre-delivery. Each was bought back. Jag refuses to fix the defective stereos and told me it would void my warranty if I paid the $4k necessary to make it sound good. No joke: the $500 Fender stereo in VW's is light years better than the 770W Meridian system, which spews out muffled bass and tinny mids. The bass is distorted in all of them. Try this: compare bass at full with sub at zero and vice versa--not much volume from the one at full. Then, put one at full and add some volume from the other: disproportionate volume increase and muddy distortion. Then, put them both up high and send the sound to the back: not much from the subs in back...except for gurgling distortion. I thought the 2016 models had all of these problems fixed. I was wrong. Shame on me. The present car is a lease and the dealer won't unwind it because the car was never previously registered. I got an amazing lease: a $96k sticker reduced by $25k, making a first month plus fees drive off with $762/mo. for 33 mo. with 15k mi./year thereafter. But, if the stereo is so bad, the gas pumps shut off twenty times during fill-ups, and a buzzing erupts when the exhaust button is on loud and the accelerator is depressed between 2,650 rpm and 3,000 rpm, how good a deal is it?? I could go on and on.... Never again an F-Type. Never again a Jaguar. Just buy a good used 911 and be done with it.

2016 Jaguar F-TYPE S 2dr Coupe AWD (3.0L 6cyl S/C 8A)

The V6 380HP supercharged engine is quick! The AWD keeps the car stuck to the road. The 14 way memory seats can be adjusted to fit you as you wish. The 770W surround system sounds awesome but I like to keep it down a bit to listen to the sounds of the engine. I smile ever time I step on the gas and hear the car rumble (and that is before turning on the Sport exhaust!). The front and rear parking sensors and rear camera make parking an ease. I don't typically drive in rain or snow but have been caught in both and putting the car in Winter mode to shift the power from the rear to the front wheels works great. All the dials and steering wheel controls are logically placed. The heated steering wheel is a guilty pleasure. I constantly have people asking me what kind of car it is.

I've had the car for 10 weeks and it's been in service for half that time. Yes, my new car has been at the service facility for five weeks....and counting! My problems started the first week I had the car; the engine stalled out at a red light and needed to be re-started, the trip odometer has more mileage than the overall vehicle mileage (Strange. Right?) and the vapor lock on the gas tank makes fueling an effort. Then the sbs system was faulty, as the air-bag light was continuously illuminated and the passenger seat became inoperable. Now the exhaust system does not work properly. Parts have been replaced, wiring checked and diagnosing the issues remain a mystery. The car is fun to drive, looks nice and drives well, but owning the vehicle is a hassle, an inconvenience and the worst new car experience of my life. If I could return it, I would. In fact, I want a refund and will gladly go back to my hassle-free Infiniti Q-60S or my Mercedes. Anything.
