F-Type Early Impressions

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Okay, I'm a new F-Type owner, not new to Jags, just this model. I've had 40+ Jags and other cars in the last 25 years. This includes MGB's, TR6's, a series 1 E-type, BMW's, Austin Healey, a Ford Galaxie muscle car, XKR's, XJR's, etc.
This may sound strange to some, but I'm telling you, this F-type is by far the best I've ever owned. The reasons are more subjective, not really anything measurable. This car feels like an extension of me. The seat feels perfect, the controls fall to hand, I've had zero issues with the stereo, the fit and finish, the clutch, the gearbox, the climate control or any rattles. I love the way the shifter "snicks" into each gear; the feeling is sublime. And of course the sound is sheer perfection. With my F-Type, it's not about showing off, but I feel like a million bucks when driving it. You guys were right.... I look for excuses to drive! I think Jaguar have got this right. Good job!!

If you're like many of us, the "new car romance" will NOT wear off and you'll feel the same way for many months / years to come!
Now that you have an F-Type, plan a trip north come May! See you there!

This..... My poor Shelby Super Snake was only driven about 200 km last year. It's a fun car but it's a lot more work to drive than the F-Type. When given the choice, I usually jump into the Jag....

My 2015 V6-S has been bullet-proof. Two nitpicks: the windows constantly need to be re-calibrated for auto-operation, and the radio tuning buttons on the steering wheel always need to be pressed twice to start working when you turn on the stereo (the first press won't change the station). But that's it! Like I said, nitpicks.

You should try it with your clothes OFF!!!
Then you'll really feel alive and bad! (and maybe exposed!)
