WOW!!!!!!
When referring to the F Type S V8, SLEEK and STYLISH are understatements. Sitting into the drivers seat, is as finger in a glove. Contoured to my form and necessary when you push hard on the accelerator. 'G' forces exist, and you know it. Throatiness of the exhaust, with or without the 'ACTIVE' button, is ear appealing and just plain 'SEXY'. All dash controls, easily readable and steering wheel controls facilitate fast human responses when this machine LEAPS and that it does. I am enjoying the ride by the minute. Thank you JAGUAR.
Comfortable and exhilarating!
I bought a one owner 2014 with 19,000 miles. Original msrp $105,000. My price illustrates the depreciation of these cars is incredible but the driving experience is unrivaled. The v8 is crazy fast but driven sensibly is very accommodating. A bit heavy and relatively large (wide) car when compared to other roadsters ( I've owned BMW Z4's, Z3,corvette, 300ZX, etc.) and this is as comfortable as any of those and far more exhilarating. #1 fun car! UPDATE: I have owned a Jaguar F-Type V8S for 4+ years and still feel that sense of excitement and anticipation that I felt when I first bought it. It has been as reliable as my Porsche boxster. It is exactly what it was built and advertised to be, an exhilarating GT car. It's nature and performance are definitely befitting of the Jaguar badge. For me, because of it's exceptional good looks and top notch performance, it is a keeper.

Jaguar F-Type R AWD Coupe is a gorgeous monster
With a 550 HP supercharged V8, the F-Type AWD is an absolute beast when called upon, but still a comfortable poodler around town. Perhaps like no other car out there. From 2016 onwards, with the AWD, the R became a car anyone can drive, even on slick roads. Cruising calmly on interstates, it gets upwards of 30 mpg for hours on end. But when provoked by the gas pedal, the R becomes loud, rude, and hilariously explosive. It has been totally reliable, with nothing beyond routine servicing. I've never had another car like it. Makes me wonder what the top-dog F-Type SVR must be like....

F is for FUN
I use this car is my daily commuter. I did have small problems with the car ; noise from the vacuum pump behind the driver seat, the drivers handle going in and out numerous times when using the fob to unlock, the stereo causing vibrations in the door panels and an overall poor sound quality. The convertible top motor blew on the second day of owning the car resulting in a tow back to the shop with the repair that lasted over a month and a half, the ultimate black metallic paint on the hood failed with the hood still needing to be repainted. Paint failure on the side body panels behind the drver/passenger doors. the infotainment system locked up and needed to be "rebooted" after a software upgrade. Be prepared to get to know your service manager by his first name.... for that matter the entire dealership.

Lots of fun... Sometimes
I got the manual transmission and like the early reviews, the clutch slips... BAD. Getting on the freeway and accelerating with a shift into third? Clutch slips, all the way to redline. And it'll do it all day if you let it. Shift above 5000 rpms? Ditto. Here's where it gets even better. Jaguar says take it to the dealer Dealer says it's normal. Drive slower, don't shift so fast! We'll let you know if Jaguar come out with a fix. Turns out, Jaguar updated the clutch and flywheel part numbers. What for, if nothing is wrong? One owner even had his clutch explode. But Jaguar's covering it up. The rep even acknowledged the problem in the piston heads review. Nobody will do anything!!! $72 grand gets you the clutch that belongs on a Corolla. Everything else, yeah it's fun. Look great well built, sounds amazing. But who cares if you have to baby it? It's a joke. I wish the auto news sites would help me get through to Jag but nothing yet. Just the same runaround from their customer non-service liars and robots.
