Should I buy an F-Type? I'm considering buying an F-Type. White of course.
>>13993228
They look good. There's 2 other anons who own F-Types. They seem to love them so far.
>>13993228
>no manual option
kek
Actually the 2016's do have a manual option.
Just get a new Miata.
They're pretty nice, just make sure you're considering your options. The V6 is about 70k. That's Cayman, RC-F money.
>>13993255
Oh, I did not know that.
The F-Type looks like an awesome car. If I had the cash i would definitely consider one with a manual.
That's my dream car. It's pretty great.
Lightweight. Agile. Fast. It handles well. Looks great. Small.
Can't go wrong.
>>13993228
>Coupe
>White
Nope.
Also, I never thought I'd say this, but I genuinely think the V6 is the more interesting car.
I saw a green one a month ago.
I couldn't stop looking at it. It looks really nice.
OP here. The British Racing green and grey would be acceptable colors as well. They all look good though.
>>13993228
Get a 2016 V6 RWD,Manual.
The V8 AWD is way more expensive and automatic.V+ still sounds good, guy at work has one
What trim level? The AWD F-Type S is in the same price range as a Cayman GT4, so that's another option if you're looking to drop that kind of money.
>>13993255
F-Type R is still auto only, but all the other models have a manual option
>>13993388
Definitely would do base with some modest options. Don't need more than the V6.
>>13993279
>Lightweight
You are aware of how much they weigh right? More than a Mustang GT
>>13993382
If it's not an orange convertible manual 2WD V6, you're doing it wrong. Not even sure why they offer other options desu.
>>13993407
Jaguar F-Type weight: 3,455 to 3,847
Mustang GT weight: 3,707 to 3,729
It can possibly weigh more. It most likely will not.
I'll concede that the F-Type is on the heavier side when it comes to sports cars. My mistake.
>>13993447
Heaviest side. What's heavier apart from the Camaro and GT-R? That said, it's glorious and you should buy one.
front end looks amazing, but dat ass leaves something to be desired.
>at the vintage races last year
>presenting sponsor is a Jag dealership
>pace car is the F Type
>getting ready for the F1 cars
>they sit on the grid not moving
>look at back straight
>the F type broke down 1 turn after pulling onto the track
>they have to flatbed it off
I suppose it is a true Jaguar (also in Jag fashion the 20 or so I've seen on the road were driven by geriatrics)
>>13993490
Agreed m8. My dream car. Ultimate black metallic is bae.
>>13993400
V8 or kill yourself you pussy
>same electronics as my gfs range rover
meh, hope you know where you are going
>>13993269
>RC-F
I mean yeah they look cool but are completely outperformed by their BMW, Merc, Audi counterparts.
>>13993400
Nice. I'm sure there are faster cars you could get for the price, but nothing that looks nearly as good.
I'd say just test drive one along with some competitors in the same price range and see what car you enjoy driving more. Don't worry about benchracing figures unless you're actually planning on racing with it. If you end up thinking the faster cars are more fun and enjoyable to drive that's fine, but don't buy something else solely *because* it's faster.
It doesn't matter if a Cayman S gets you to 60 0.4 seconds faster if it just doesn't get your dick as hard as that F-type ass and exhaust note does while doing it.
>>13993597
The F-Type's really the only car I've had my eye on. The styling is just in a tier of its own. The performance is just icing.
>>13993228
Only car I can think of for that price that you may have overlooked is the Alfa Romea 4c.
>>13993607
for sure, but 70 grand is a lot of money to drop on a car (for most people anyways). I'd test drive a couple others for the hell of it, just so that you're 100% sure that this is the car you want and don't have any "what if?" thoughts after you buy it.
>>13993545
I had a C63 black when it first came out, ended up getting offered what I had in it after a few months so sold it.
Car was fun, muscle-car-esque. But I wanted to drive it for daily type activities, and it just rode like shit and the tires were so soft they were only good for a few thousand miles driving normally, and with a burnout machine like that I can't imagine how fast they'd go if you really drove it hard.
/end blog post, but figured might be useful to OP.
>>13993607
Eh, you're right. For the price you can't really find anything better looking. The C7 looks like a kid's toy in comparison, and anything else like a Vantage, Maserati GT, Ford GT, etc. is just way more expensive.
I drive a 15 GT, if all my spare money wasn't going to pic related, I'd be all about an F type, damn it's sexy.
>>13993607
You thinking the 340hp v6 or the 380hp v6? What's the resale on them? For that extra 40hp they want a lot of money (12 grand it looks like)
You can't afford one, pal.
>>13993667
The 340 hp model. And yeah the extra power is not worth the cost in my situation.
>>13993685
What options are you looking at?
>>13993709
Premium/vision pack seems like a must if I ever feel like backing up. Also the climate pack and some minor cosmetic upgrades. Total cost looking about 76k, could likely get that down a few k too.
>>13993725
Cool. You going to daily drive it or just a weekend thing?
>>13993786
DD during the non-winter months most likely. Nothing set in stone yet, but financially it seems doable. Who needs a retirement fund when you can have a fancy car.
>>13993228
C-can you put some black wheels on it anon? ^-^
>>13993822
If you're so tight you gotta go into your retirement, don't buy it.
>>13993860
No, that was an exaggeration. I'm dumb but not quite that dumb
>>13993838
black wheels on white cars look like shit faggot
this is an objective fact car designers agree with
>^-^
kill yourself
>>13993228
Did you take that picture in GTA V?
If I bought one I'd have test driven several others on a short list.
...maybe hired for a weekend from the short short list.
Then made a decision.
Can't afford the weekend hire?
I've been thinking about one too. From my friend that has a Cayman GT4 it doesn't handle as sweet as it should. From a guy in my building coming from an Aston Vanquish he said the 550bhp R is the best car he's ever owned. My friend is a real connoisseur but if you're not (and almost no one is) it's likely an awesome car.
I've had the F-type for a week, won it in a contest. I've never enjoyed a car so much, and I'm grinning ear to ear just thinking about it.
Get the RWD, OP. It's not insanely fast, looks faster than it is. Definitely an amazing car though, pissed off a lot of my neighbors with the noise and burn marks on the street.
>>13993269
cayman is boxter with a roof.
if you are going to buy a jag, buy the v8 RWD one you will be glad you did.
>>13993545
thats the reason you buy a jag. because its not german.
>>13993643
because the black was mainly a track-day car. it wasnt really intended for road use. a normal amg or brabus (faster than amg) would have been fine
>>13994440
awesome bro!
>>13993528
My dream car is a 2016 F Type-R. Everything about the car is perfect. But the V6 F-Type sounds ridiculous
>>13993228
F-types are nice as fuck, but they aren't the fastest cars around. If I were to spend that money Id get a Mustang GT500.
>>13994557
>thats the reason you buy a jag. because its not german.
I'm a newfag here, what's wrong with German cars?
>>13993660
Duuude nice roadster. What liter motor?
Sucks about the rust though, How's the trunk rust look under the gas tank?
>>13993228
Do it faggot
Get the vsick
>>13996407
Often over engineered and overly complicated
>>13994577
I second this. I though the v6 version was going to gutless till i heard it.
>>13994577
Press reviews I've read seem to favour the more powerful v6. Engine suits the car better, or something.
>>13993228
Go for it. I was offered one as an afternoon loaner when my Jag was in for a diff flush and 75k service. Got it on the highway and my god the noise is infectious. If I hadn't already decided to get an XFR next, the F Type would be top on the list. Having owned an XK in the past, I can say the F type is much nimbler but nowhere near as comfy. Not saying its a bad ride but it is a stiff suspension. And it was a base V6 RWD auto. Excellent choice OP
Why not get an SL550 OP? Or the AMG version?
>>13996900
>Why not get an SL
They're ugly, heavy, and overpriced.
No manual option.
Plus no one under 110 years old drives these things.
>>13996855
the V6 is utter pigfat though
>1,614 kg V6-S
>1,665 kg V8-S
>>13996407
German cars can't even deliver the same performance despite costing twice as much.
>>13993505

>>13997007
>despite costing twice as much.
>twice as much

>>13997033
plus I'd definitely rather have a N/A V10. Interior is nicer in the R8 than the GTR
>>13997033
You're right. I actually meant to say 8 times as much.

nigga please. i agree that the R8 is not a good car, as I got to drive the R8 V10plus when Audi invited me to a talent scouting for their TT cup, and I enjoyed driving the Audi TTS more than driving the R8. should compare an SLS AMG to it.

nigga why are you grasping at straws? did i say the GT-R is bad? no, it's an amazing car, especially for its price. are there better cars? yes, but not many, and other than a corvette probably none in that price range. are there better cars than the r8? of course, and many that cost less or the same. i'd take any porsche over an R8, i dont't even fit in the damn thing, was awkward as fuck

Of course.

The thread involved gm so it's not like it was good anyways.
>>13993279
After test driving all of them on and off my local track, they are not agile nor handle well.
They handle....adequate?
They aren't agile, a Cayman is agile, this girl is not.
She is fun, a ton of fun but it's like a Maserati GT, it's...enough.
Does sex appeal, comfort and amazing cruiser with the exhaust gurgle amazingly.
But if you want the agile, small little lightweight girl to toss around 24/7 and occasionally go nuts on the track and to hold your own? Cayman or better yet, 964 CS.
>>13997209
back to facebook nigger
>>13996559
It's the 4.2 and it actually ran pretty great. Floor, rockers sills and trunk floor all need replaced. The rest is salvageable.
OP here again, great thread this turned into. I submitted an offer to my local dealer for the base V6. We'll see what they say.
>>13998220
Good Luck OP.
>>13998220
Jelly. How much below MSRP did you offer?
>>13998719
Well based on the research I've been doing, I was thinking 5-7% off MSRP would be reasonable considering the new model year is approaching. But because it's a custom order I'd be looking at (everything near me is optioned-out R's), I asked for a little over 5%. They counter-offered at 4% off MSRP, which isn't terrible. I'll have to mull this over.
>>13996407
1. too boring
2. too common
3. build quality is still sketchy (MB, AUDI) since the lare 80s
4. harsh ride
5. if you have a bad back not very comfertable interiors
6. too many buttons and anal type settings (i want the lights to stay on 2 no 3 seconds after i have gotten out of the car)
7. the performance is lacklustre
8. any v8 you cannot hear untill you have spent some money on aftermaket exhaust.
9. engine longevity is a afterthought.
need i go on?
>>13993228
Hi OP. One of the two anons PepsiFag mentioned here >>13993240 I have the blacked out autotragic 2016 F-Type S coupe.
I had the manual for a short time and the transmission was actually perfect and the clutch wasn't very heavy at all. I don't really like the gearing of the auto, the first two gears are ridiculously short and literally the only time I even use first is when I'm pulling it out of the garage. Magic gear is 4th, which seems really high but it is also an 8-speed. The auto shifts very quickly in full auto, and instantaneously with the paddles, so I will credit it with that.
The car has had minor electrical issues with the lights so far, but the dealership has comp'd all of them at no charge. The only other complaint I have with the S is that it just isn't enough power, I would recommend a blower swap if you get the S. Not very expensive (relatively speaking) and pretty much anywhere that tunes Mustangs will also do it for an F-Type. If you do the swap I would also recommend getting bigger rotors as well just to be safe, the ones from the factory are pretty small. The steering could not be better, probably the best I have ever experienced in a FR car. Interior is pretty comfy and visibility isn't bad either (again, relatively speaking). Has bluetooth and a great sound system.
In my opinion the way to go is S with a blower swap over the R. Definitely don't go with the base model if you have the option, the uncorked exhaust button is a NECESSITY. The way Jag designed the V6 head you probably won't notice a difference in the exhaust note between the 6 and the 8.
If you're wondering about other options I shopped around for cars of a similar price (RC-F, Cayman, M4, Z06, Vantage) and the Jaaaggg was by far my favorite, not even really close. The only thing I'd compare to it was a 2016 911 Turbo which ended up being well out of my price range anyways. Even then I'd probably still take the Jag just because of the looks.
i wouldnt buy a R35 GT-R either.
its a car for people who are anal about racecar driving. and fanboi's plus to me its dull to look at. its not a car that grabs me by the balls and says: BUY ME! WHY HAVENT YOU BOUGHT ME YET! i sucky dick long time
yes gtr you do suck
>>13999315
if hit the lottery id consider one of these.
>>13999362
Less expensive than it looks honestly. You don't need to be a doctor or lawyer to afford one, just go as far in school as you can without taking massive student loans and then work hard.
>>13999370
sorry bro but my buddy has a C3. showing me a racetrack shows me how retarded your thinking really is. the gtr in NZ is a 250,000 buck car. the jags new run about 100K
>>13993252
Yes there is. Its only for the new ones though.

Yup, all the usual spots.
I hope you don't have any bad rust hiding in the bonnet. I'm replacing one panel on it and the reproduction panel will be $1200. Whew
>>14000021
Then you're fine man. Its a great sportscar to just drive around while looking good.
Rest of these faggots saying no have no idea.
