"The Jaguar F-Type is a stylish and desirable two-seater sports car that is easy to drive brilliantly."

The Jaguar F-Type Convertible is a sports car that just as well to go and hear how it is to look at. Both the V6 and V8 offer their own, famous soundtracks of F-type of pleasant driving accompany and there are a number of models to satisfy buyers of top-down search all the way to cruising supercar rivaling performance.
The entry F-type has a 335bhp V6 that sends power to the rear wheels. The car is available with either a manual or automatic transmission and is the traditional and approachable model in the range. If you are keen on a little more power and the choice of all-wheel drive, the V6S has 375bhp. An even faster version of the car is in the shape of the F-Type R. It has a 535bhp V8 engine available and comes with four or rear-wheel drive. The top model with all-wheel drive SVR model is supplied as "ultimate" F-Type into account and has a 567bhp version of the V8 in the F-Type R - it is incredibly fast
The V6 F-Type. is around £ 57,000, while the top model SVR is twice as high, so what you will depend as viable alternatives to consider are likely on the F-Type model of buying you think. The stunning Porsche Boxster is a worthy competition for the V6 models, while wishing to see the more powerful F-Type Convertible also looking at the soft-top Porsche 911 models and the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Competition is fierce for the Jaguar down the line, but it is definitely a car with enough style and performance to keep up with the competition.
buyers of sports cars usually do not worry too much about the cost, because high fuel bills run and expensive insurance are an expected (if not particularly desired) Element of Possession. The V6-engined F-types are not really that bad in terms of fuel consumption, but the same can not consume the strongest model of SVR, fuel in abundance, intended the V8 engines, be said. Similarly, practicality is not usually a big consideration for convertible sports car buyers, but while the boat is quite small at 0 liters, the roof folding down is not to reduce space on.
The F-Type is a desirable car, and this has led residual values for examples on the used market relatively impressive in some. Maintenance and repair costs are naturally higher than the average car, but not necessarily more than if you heard another Jaguar as the XF or XJ sedans.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

stop-start is standard on the Jaguar F-Type and the CO2 emissions are reasonable
the entry F-Type is not cheap, but to buy the running costs are relatively reasonable. Jaguar says returning 33.6mpg and 199g / km CO2, which is almost identical to the equivalent Porsche Boxster and leads to an annual road tax bill of £ 20 all-wheel drive has a very low impact on these numbers of entry-level V6, you must only care about the cost and your preference for how the car handles
of course, if you move the range to the V6 S, V8 R and SVR, you will see the fuel in the dryer and increase CO2 emissions - but that is to own an essential part of such a powerful car. The V6 S claimed 29mpg, the V8 R 26mpg and 25mpg SVR but do not expect these numbers to see in the real world, especially when you drive up and enjoy your F-Type.
service costs are on par with the Jaguar XF and Jaguar XJ luxury business sedan models
Used values are expected to be robust, as demand for the F-type is high -. Experts predict all models to keep 50% of its value after three years or 36,000 miles property.

sports suspension and exhaust are about Jaguar F-Type range [Standard
if you decide SVR for the V6, V6 S, V8 R or top model does not matter, is the Jaguar F-Type a joy to drive. Sports suspension and a sport exhaust are standard across the range, while the V6 S, V8 R and SVR obtained adaptive dampers can you agree to your driving style.
The steering is well weighted and precise on all models, while grip is impressive - the F-Type to make a pleasant car to drive fast. This is even more the case with the all-wheel drive variants.

, the eight-speed ZF automatic transmission shifts gears smoothly and is already in use by both BMW and Audi, so it should prove to be reliable, while the sound of the exhaust gas to each drive a real sense of occasion adds. A manual transmission is also available, but it is not quite as smooth as Porsche, so we would recommend sticking with the outstanding sports car.
The all-wheel drive system "intelligent" is also sending, usually to the front wheels only about 30% of the power of the engine - to increase only for the part when it lose the rear tires recognizes handle. The suspension was also easy to compensate on the front, the increase in weight at this end of the car due to the four-wheel drive system components. been

Optional adaptive damper Jaguar F-Type ride quality
as well as enjoyable the Jaguar F-Type to drive, is truly remarkable convenient for on road. The base car has a simple sport suspension setup, but the V6 S, V8 R and SVR get all adaptive dampers as standard. The result is a device that can be tailored to your taste -. And one that absorbs easily lumps and bumps in the road

the F-type convertible boat-shaped small and clumsy - but its 0-liter capacity is unchanged whether the roof is up or down, which is unusual for a vehicle of this type. The dashboard and interior are beautifully made, built with quality materials and first-class quality, while the supportive leather seats which make sit a large square F-type if. For long distances

practicality & trunk

Jaguar F-Type trunk is the same with the roof up or down
No one Jaguar F-Type buys for its practicality, which is just as well. There is no hiding the fact that this is a two-seat sports car with more than 300 hp, also in the entry-level form, and Jaguar has designed it accordingly. The 0-liter boot is small and bulky, so there is only enough room for a couple of soft bags. There is more room in a Porsche Boxster, which (thanks to its mid-engine layout) has boots on both the front and back.

in better news, the trunk in the F- Type is the same with the roof up or down, so you do not have to decide before you put on whether you want the wind in your hair. Unfortunately, things like a wind deflector, lockable storage space and space-saving spare wheel option, but the fully electric roof automatically up to 30 mph are functioning at speeds - which is quite handy if you get caught in the rain.

reliability and safety

The F-Type Convertible is a fairly new car, but Jaguar tariffs for reliability
It is too early to say whether the Jaguar F-Type will prove a reliable car in the long run, but the good reputation in our driver power customer satisfaction survey of the company it should stead
, it is also worth noting that the F-type uses a lot of proven technology -. both in his engines and his body - so it should not be too much cause for concern, as Jaguar owners seem to be largely satisfied heap

F-type is well equipped, but Porsche Boxster is cheaper and just as much fun
There is no denying the Jaguar F-type a superbly rounded car, and it is mightily impressive as a standalone product. However, considering that a Porsche Boxster S will cost much less than an entry-level F-Type, yet provides similar performance, this starts to look quite expensive.

However, to get all the F-Types an exhaust Sport, 18-inch alloy wheels and a leather steering wheel as standard - with satellite navigation, Bluetooth phone connectivity and bright xenon headlamps. The V8-R model undercuts the equivalent Porsche 911 by some distance. Predicted F-Type resale value is good - available for all models on more than 50% after three years or 36,000 miles of ownership.
