I bought my F-Type after my Evolution X was reared ended and written off, loved my Evo and still miss it.
Ford Flex - wife's car, I like the non-standard SUV boxy styling
Nissan Murano - daughters car, a maxima SUV
Alfa Romeo Giulia - my sons car, even the 2.0 gets a lot of attention and most people have to ask what it is, AWD so handles really well (he likes to think of it as a modern Evo !). Bought it used and couldn't believe the depreciation that the previous owner incurred.

Three slots in the garage and recently made some changes:
2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Sport AWD - took this 2400 mi. dealer demo home last month as a fun all-season go everywhere ride for me and Mrs. Love it! Gone: 2005 Saab Aero convertible manual.
2017 F-Type S Convertible manual. Bought April 2021. Still wanted a vert in the shed once the Saab left, and gotta have a stick. Gone: 2016 F-Type Coupe manual.
2012 Cadillac CTS Sportwagon. Good hauler and a decent ride.

I really enjoy driving the wife's F Pace SVR. It doesn't make me miss driving the F Type so much when I have to make a large supply run. It's not the same ride, but definitely feels familiar. I recommend taking one for a test drive.

We love our F-Type and its not going anywhere. But, I've got a couple of empty spaces in my garage that need filled. We've been looking around at other cars, but to be honest, none of them do it for me like the F-Type, (at least the ones I can afford). Just curious what other F-Type owners have and your thoughts.

Alfa
I recently sold my daily driver which was a BMW sedan. I now have an SUV for the dog and hauling bulking items and the F Type R. I plan on buying another daily 6 cylinder and on top of my list is either a Cayman S, Supra, or maybe a Alfa Romeo Guilia if I feel I need a 4 door. Just waiting for used car prices to get back to normal.

We have a 2021 XF 250SE and a street legal Yamaha Golf Cart as well as the 2014 F-Type V8S convertible. Perfect combo for two elderly drivers here in Sun City West, AZ. One for comfort, one for fun and one to get around the compound in. Just parted with a 1992 Porsche 911 (964) C2 Cab. All are good and serve a need.

In the stable
Love my F-Type SVR and a huge fan of the JLR range of anything with the 5.0! I also have a Range Rover Sport SVR and a XE SV Project 8. It always surprises me just how different in character the 3 vehicles are even in terms of engine characteristics. Love them all, have had zero problems with any of them. Ive had an XFR and a previous RR Supercharged, which also had next to no issues and all drove well.

My Honda S2K is the best car I have ever driven. I like it better than the Lotus Elise that I had. Parts are cheap, and the engine is super reliable. A new start switch for my F-Type was $145! I question the value of keeping a high depreciation / high expense car when the S2K is quickly gaining in value. Really the only reason is if the F-Type is a daily driver and the combination of performance and luxury–great sound system–, etc. is valued. For a weekend sport car it doesn't make sense, IMO.

Well, I'm not sure it's about having another auto that is similar in style and performance as the Jag? In my case, I also an SL500 in primo condition that goes to auto shows, and I've a JEEP that's big and Up In the Air and graphics all over and ready for mud. And I have a couple of ZK14r's (yea, two as one is fully mac out and the other bone stock from day of new purch) and of course we all need a Tesla <grin> - I guess I'm just thinking to maybe diversify your riding experience? But wadda I know; get what you enjoy.
