What say you. Good or Bad.

I'd say its a fair assessment. I've had many Porsche's, BMW's, and a slew Japanese sports cars. They all have an issue here and there. They mentioned Cayman's, I had an 'S'. Awesome car, but just not enough power until you get into the GT's. Can't abide a premium sports car that can get smoked by a 10yr old mustang, or a kid in a jacked Honda. On track? yes, they don't have a chance, but I spend most of my time on the street. The C6/C7/C8 Corvettes are world class performers, it's great to see so many of them every single day... Same with BMW's, mine's white with black wheels, just like the other 342666 BMW's in my city....

I've seen 4 Jag F Type's in my months of shopping/owning. You see more Ferrari's, Lambo's, McLaren's at Cars & Coffee than Jags. Car & Driver called them 'Rolling Kinetic Art', everyone feels the exhaust note is intoxicating. So yea, as a enthusiast, I'll deal with any issues. Its a fair trade for the exclusivity, beauty & performance. Cost of ownership can be steep, as it is with all premium sports cars, you should know this going in.

 

Really good article! Feels like the writer did his research, knows what he's talking about and really gets the F-Type.

 

Unless you're in it for the long haul, it's going to be a while before prices go back up [unless the FED unleashes another tsunami of funny money (which is quite possible)]. I'd say we're looking at the mid 30's until much of the financial non-sense that went on over the past decades is rooted-out. You can see what's happening in the CRE markets and that will be followed by the residential market as baby boomers give up their bloated McMansions to a market unwilling and unable to afford such waste.

Sports cars are in the same category as watches and jewelry and art...stuff that absolutely nobody needs.

 

Nice to read that he referred to the manual trans cars as the Holy Grail of F types. I've had my 2017 for coming on 4 years, no burps or hiccups, but I'm not so naive to think that nothing is going to happen. It's a car, it has 90 gazillion yards of wire and 20 gazillion electronic contraptions waiting for that opportune time to wreak havoc. I'm hoping I got a 'special' one, built on the right day, by the right robots and humans, much like my 69 E that has lasted in my care for 35 years. I just feel fortunate that I found the F that found me as well. And like the E, I never get tired of looking at it, because yes, this car is art!

 

They sure are pretty.
