Thank you and agree. I’ve owned a few fun ones too but this will be my first Jaguar so very curious to see how that 550hp motor performs. The deal I’m getting on the rear wheel drive one is pretty significant compared to the all wheel drive so I’m going to check out the rear wheel drive one 1st plus I like a car that dances a bit.
The way I look at it is Jag ceased production of the RWD F-Type R for a reason. Mostly safety my guess. The AWD is an abundantly safe and composed in most all conditions, Rain, Snow, and giving your friend Paul Walker a hot ride. It would be a shame if you had a chance to own the brilliantly engineered AWD car and choose to save a few bucks instead. For those that own one, I'm sure they love it and accept its limitations. For you, hands down the AWD.
My AWD R will predictably slide its tail out in 1st and 2nd gears, and that's enough fun for me personally.
I want a powerful everyday sports car that is still somewhat easy to handle.
If I am at a racetrack with a good instructor, I would want to try doing a big slide in RWD R for sure.

2014 & 2015 V8 RWDs are rated at 495 at the crank. In fact they dyno 495+ at the wheels. The early V8s are rated something over 4 secs 0-60, but they'll rip off mid 3s all day long. Dont know why Jag sabotages their own numbers.
Tpaxc: Here's Jonny and Randy on the AWD F Type. Lots of lip on looks, just go to the driving. Most on this forum have seen the vids I'm posting already. Wanted to provide them for you as a prelude to your test driving (please make sure you drive both before buying).
I do indeed love hill hopping in WV. Given the weight distribution on the V6, the F-Type handles it true and level. It's very critical to maintain a dead center steering wheel during the entire jump and have the DSC totally turned off.
Here's one such road here in Maryland, but the ones in WV are tighter requiring less velocity for lift-off.
So I opted to go for a 2015 F-type R Just picked it up today and put 250 miles on it from Jacksonville FL back home to Tampa. Really enjoying the car so far. Thank you for everyone’s input
Congrats and welcome to the fun. Good luck in convincing yourself to get out of the car! If your like most of us it takes a crowbar and a need to use a bathroom to consider stopping driving it.
Maybe the issue is your file size (the size of your pictures) is too large. There is a limit that is posted in a table by file type when you upload them. I believe you have enough posts for permission to upload photos.
I'd suggest resizing to no more than 1500 pixels on the longest side - no point in uploading massive files to display on the web - we haven't all got wall sized monitors!
So trying to upload photos. Continues to be an issue for me
Have you uploaded photos previously? If not, ignore this as it may not help you at all.
But, recently I suddenly was unable to upload and tried all sorts of things, including resizing.
What finally worked for me was to delete all of the photos in my album/gallery (whatever it's called) and start all over.
