LAST CHANCE TO BUY THE MIGHTY JAGUAR F TYPE 

Hey Mark, Nice tour! I own a 2016 F-Type R, Black Berry Metallic w/Carbon Ceramic Brakes and 14K miles on the odometer and don't like the new headlights/taillights at all. Takes away the classic race styling of the Jaguar and its heritage. Makes it look more generic. Plus I have the crazy loud stock exhaust before they neutered it in 2018. Mine sounds like a NASCAR eruption in my garage. On your lot tour, price not being a consideration, the White SVR with the older headlights is #1, although I don't know why it has no SVR badge on the nose. #2 would be the Black new model with the red calipers, then #3 is the base model F-Type R blue car. No point in getting the P450 at all. Who wants a strangled supercharged V-8 that chokes 125 hp out of the motor?! Nobody ever said, I wish I'd gone smaller!! lol.

Took delivery on the F-Type R 575 75th Anniversary Carpathian Gray Blacked Out badging. Fantastic Ride. Drove the Tail of the Dragon this past weekend WOW. Cheers.

I have a 2015 F-Type R, white with RWD. I’ve looked at the newer versions as well but decided on the 2015 for a few reasons. From a looks perspective, the headlights/front end has more of that signature Jaguar look. The newer version has headlights that look like they are off of an Acura or Honda. They make less of a statement. One drawback of the 2015 though are the hood vents. They were moved forward in later models because rain water would pass through the vents and cascade down in the fuel injectors causing corrosion. From a performance perspective, I prefer the challenge of the rear wheel drive as it possesses more of that ‘old school muscle car’ handling. Taming the rear end drift accelerating out of turns makes the driving experience more challenging and fun. Also, the engine is not de-tuned as some of the later V-8 models. You’re getting the full order with the older R models. And, lastly, the exhaust sound is what the original engineers offered up. My understanding is that the car was quieted down a smidge on later models. While this list is not all-inclusive regarding changes throughout its short life span on the market, it explains my personal preference as to why the older 2015 is a more desirable car. Not to mention, someone paid $103k for my car and, me being patient, only had to shell out $43k for the car. With the discontinuance of the F-Type going forward, I should have bought the car at the bottom of the depreciation curve and putting a couple thousand here and there into the car will keep it in fantastic shape for years to come. I agree with you… you just don’t see a lot of them out there and that is another bonus because the compliments on the car just keep coming. Take care!

Thanks Mark, everything you said resonated with my self. I gues the latest R version has the extra spline on the rear diffuser as the engine is at 575 BHP as standard now, which was the older SVR power. I think even the new SVR's are still 575 BHP but with the muted sound, as does the new R also. Always great to watch you do jag videos, thanks.

The black F -TYnPE is my favourite because it is more beautiful than other Jaguars I have ever seen . It must have a bigger and better engine and it also looks like power full. I wouldn't mind owning one.

If anyone deserves a new 2024 F-Type it’s you Mark! It’s the last of the breed so pull the trigger and enjoy! Plus you will get 5 years of free repair/maintenance! Think of all the new content you will share with your fellow F Type enthusiasts!

*The gray one looks sophisticated & the black one aggressive. Luv these cars.* Great video!

Nice video, personally I wouldn’t touch a V6 unless it was a Manual one they had a few years ago that were rare as a bonus they had the more beautiful headlights. I’m just not a fan of the squinty new headlights on the newer “update” but you don’t have to look at them when you are driving so that’s a plus. Having said that I’d definitely get a custom special ordered F-Type in a fully loaded out and rare color exterior and interior like say a yellow exterior with a red interior. Something that is rare over a Common garden Corvette for sure. But I’m all about being unique. But if I’m getting used I’d definitely get a last year F Type SVR coupe with the more beautiful headlights and find a low milage example and keep that forever.

Hey, Mark - thanks for the video! I've spotted a black p300 one yesterday and what I noticed is how small it appeared to be... then I realised its the black color killing the light, so all the beautiful lines are less present...I believe the silver and the white one are the most sexy in your video... I've never seen a red one, but I bet it must be hot too... I'm hoping to get a white one in the future ❤ I noticed you've been releasing more often these days, keep it up please 😊

I bought a 3.0 v6 manual last year and it’s been an absolute pleasure to drive. If they made a p450 RWD with a finely tuned 6 speed manual I’d buy one in a heartbeat, just a shame they haven’t. I did look at the new lotus emira, with it’s 6 speed manual and 450bhp 3.0 v6 rwd drivetrain it’d certainly be some fun on those back country roads.

Wow 🤩 that White SVR F-Type is an absolute winner. # 1 easily for me. It’s easy to keep clean, great for summer reflecting the heat away from the interior. A nice glass roof to enjoy the sights as you drive along. The fact that it doesn’t have the Boy Racer spoiler does it for me. Because I’d have the coupe over the convertible any day just because it reminds me of the 60’s E -Type coupe with that gorgeous rear end.With the rear spoiler gone you can see the haunches and curves better. Icing on the cake is the carbon interior with the red quilted leather. Spectacular Mark! You should test drive it and compare it to your R version. I’d love to see what you think. How many miles on it and what year and how much do they want for it? That would definitely be a keeper for me. Most beautiful car out there in recent years apart from a Coupe 2019 and newer DBS Superleggera Aston Martin.

Mark, you should buy two or three, if finances allow, and then sell them in a year or two at a profit.

Old style SVR every day of the week, it’s the one to have, louder and meaner than the latest version, more bang for your buck.

I want the 2018 so badly but it'll be 2-3 years before I can get one and I'd need to hope one becomes available almost exactly like yours. I'm in the UK and really like the idea of cooled seats too.

Hi, would you please make a video about Ftype p450 and lexus lc500, both of which are known as the best GT cars. I'm very hesitant to choose between these two cars, I'm going to buy a car soon❤

Mark I’ve just made the switch - you should consider it. Better suspension, modern configurable TFT instrument cluster, better headlamps (esp. pixel upgrade), improved steering from Project 8 and bigger tyres and more power for the R!

Dont like the headlight angle....if I m ever in the position to buy one of these it'll be the last year with the vertical headlights....2020 I think?

Or is it convenient for you to briefly talk about your views on the relationship between Jaguar F type and Lexus lc500?

For me 1white wit uh quilted red interioronly thing to make it better would be if exterior was black2 was black F Type 3ed was the blue onebut silver very nice!

I honestly think you're going to be put off the new F Type when you drive it. There are no pops or bangs and it feels like an older more mature F Type which I don't think you'd want. You seem very young at heart and the fun factor is significantly reduced. Give it a drive and let us know. Personally I dislike the new lights and the new valance on the rear so the older one, I'm glad since I don't have to lust over the new generation and hopefully save money buying the older one lol

Well Mark. I love the white SVR with no wing, second is the murdered out new R. Third the silver P450. Did you see the 1988 edition F Pace SVR around? Deep purple.

It is absolutely a gorgeous car. I wonder how its reliability compares to the LC500. We know that the R is much faster.

Almost the exact same P450 here in Winnipeg. I love it but can't help but think I would always be missing the HP of the "R". Unless I could put the 575hp tune on it? Just saw the white SVR. That's what I want. I'm sure it's long gone by now lol. Know where I can get one?

The seats of the svr are absolutely gorgeous. I wish it was a non svr option

I'd be driving home in the white SVR with the red interior. Love that spec. Then I think it'd be the blue R, and then the silver P450 because I think F-Types look awesome in silver.

I don't know Mark... I am having second thoughts about getting an F-type. It is just too risky. Jaguar sales have been continuously declining in recent years, and all this electrification move in 2025 is getting me very worried. I was at a Jaguar dealership not too long ago, and I asked the sales rep, what is going to happen with all these combustion engine Jags? Are they still going to offer service and maintenance for them? He was frighteningly quiet. I asked him, so when you guys switch to all electric, what about the parts for my "new F-type"( if I buy one)? All he could say is, well, there will always be an after-market community and there won't be an issue regarding that. That is not the answer that I wanted to hear. My dad is a huge Jag fan and he really wants me to get an F-type. Unfortunately, I just don't think that it is worth it considering all the other options available. I was considering BMW in the past, maybe M8..however, now after extensive research, I am seriously considering Porsche 911 4 GTS. That car is so livable, has more storage than an F-type, dual clutch, 0-60 in 2.8 sec, open sun roof, better infotainment and tech, and much more. I know, It is significantly more expensive, 130K vs 185K but paying that difference might be worth it to avoid potential issues with the Jag brand down the road. A lot of people are predicting that Jaguar as a brand will not survive in the next few years. I don't wanna be caught spending all that money and then have to rely on after-market parts and unauthorized mechanics for repair. What do you think? Are my fears justified?

Looks better without the wing

Blue is my favorite color

The SVR has that rear diffuser.

The word out there, even coming from Jaguar, is that the standard clutch 2013/14 F type R, will become the new 1969 E type in a few years. This car will be a rare bird. one in great shape especially in racing green.

The white svr is absolutely beautiful. The new front on the F type looks too feminine. Your car and under are the best ones by far.

Treat yourself to a new Jag and live it up. And how about a follow up on the Tesla. You only had it for a short period.

Stunning car would love to have one ❤

The majority of the vehicles will be leased and a few will be collectors items

The white SVR is the winner by a long shot, especially with the CC brakes!

nice cars; s shame to see them so dirty.

It is better than Aston

Get the "SILVER and put RED Calipers on the REAR as well..........................
