I hope you get a commission from Jaguar for this! Your video made me turn toward the SVR when we were looking at the BMW X6M, AMG GLE63, and Porsche Macan Turbo. We had looked at the first-generation F-Pace but was unimpressed. This video prompted me to test drive a 2024 SVR and we fell in love. We have a 2016 F-Type so this was a perfect match :) Thank you!
I like your NC videos. Very insightful. Have you ever driven a 2017-2020 Fiat 124 Spider? I see comparison videos with the Fiat and ND Miata but I’d be curious about how the Fiat compares to the NC. I’m leaning toward buying an NC but have seen some decent prices on the Fiat.
Thanks! I found a good deal on the Fiat but really want an NC with the PRHT. I’ll keep searching for the Miata. Those are tricky to find and then when I do find one the deal isn’t right. Perhaps I’ll have better luck as we move into fall and winter. Keep up the great work on the videos!
5:50 It really does get loud lol, when I bought my NC the previous owner had installed a single 3" HKS Muffler, it was really loud and didnt even sound good , it somehow sounded like a bus at low rpms
Good car if one is not into modifying. Otherwise this trim is unnecessarily expensive. Regular trim is all you need. Maybe it made sense brand new, definitely not used.
I disagree that the dash is "cheap," it's well stitched and constructed with good material. The plastic on the door, especially the lower portion with the cup holder and pockets are by their very construction resistant to liquid/nastiness in the drink holder and things you touch and put stuff in all the time, making it easy to clean. It *is* different and takes moment to get used to but, I actually enjoy it and being something "less" wouldn't work/hold up and something "more" (metal with covering) would be even more expensive and heavy in an already heavy door. I think the seats are just great and fit me perfectly, perhaps even a little tight in the seat bolster (not the back, it's perfect). The charger seats are too small and the shoulder width is cramped for me but, I'm 6'5"/250 and not built like a stick figure. 😉 .The seats adjust to a very comfortable fit and i don't hit my head, despite having a long torso. You mentioned the gas guzzler tax "because it is a manual transmission" *but,* what you're not making clear is... The manual trans requires the *non MDS* (multiple displacement system) valve train so, it doesn't cut between 4 and 8 cyls while driving. This means the engine uses all 8 cylinders, all of the time which is *great* for the engine (less extra wear/premature failure of the valve train) but, as such, it therefore uses more fuel, hence the gas guzzler tax. So, again, it's not "just because it's a manual." I have this same car/color except not wide body although, it does have all of the performance upgrades associated with the widebody to include the upgraded, larger brakes, better dampened suspension, exhaust upgrades, etc. except for the extra wide tires and wheels (mine has 9.5" width with 275/40/ZR Pirellis, still a pretty decent upgrade from the stock, 245/40/ZR Goodyears). I also have the shaker package with the shaker hood, graphics and associated parts. It's not a shabby ride... For a standard body. 😉 😎
