Petlizard · 06-08-2014, 05:41 PM

Took my car and my camera out for a drive this morning. Enjoy.

swanson · 06-08-2014, 06:27 PM

Sweet. How are you liking it so far?

Lups · 06-08-2014, 07:48 PM

Damn Jags, I love them all.

cg05 · 06-08-2014, 09:02 PM

Absolutely love the car but those stock wheels are terrible. They don't do the car justice.

I love it. I did not like the electronic interface at first but after a few weeks I now understand its logic and it's not too bad. Still not as quick as the iDrive interface. But the power and sounds is more than make up for it. I'm still 800 miles short of the official break in period so I'll need to drive it a lot more.

I'm looking to swap these out for the silver rims from the R-coupe.

Those are sweet rides. If only they came in stick. F type R coupes are mighty tempting!!

Just got them swapped out with the Gyrodyne wheels from an R-coupe. Here's the before and after.

Nice improvement!

I have been eyeing these up. How is the leg room? I'm 6'5" so it is essential.

I was looking at F types at a dealership a week ago. walked into the dealership and within 10 seconds i said to my friend i am sold on this car. They are soooo nice looking! and the V8s sound so good.

Sniz · 07-20-2014, 09:33 PM

gorgeous, like the silver wheels better but still don't love them.

I'm at 6" and had plenty of room but 6'5 is a lot more. You should stop by a dealership and sit in one.

I'm addicted to driving it. The torque is amazing. Driving 65mph on the freeway, spotted a spot in traffic a few hundred yards a head, pressed the pedal and I'm instantly there. Of course the sounds and feel of a convertible is nice too.

silver07335i · 07-21-2014, 07:34 AM

The F-type is sexy!

Chefcg1 · 07-23-2014, 03:05 PM

I've been eying one for a while now. Waiting for a used r coupe to start showing up in the 70K range and i'll make my move.

Have you driven the new stingray, if so how did it compare?

Raja Ventureshield · 07-24-2014, 08:43 AM

nice where in va r u?

I did not drive the stingray. I crossed shopped it with two 911s (one vert and one cab) and chose the Jaguar. The 911s felt like a nicer and more expensive version of my e92m3. The Jaguar felt more raw and unique. I have no doubt that the 911 is a better built car and will run better track times, but my heart settled with the Jaguar.

Love your car a lot. I personally prefer the Coupe, but this is one car I still have my eye on.

I miss my old Jag, it wasn't the fastest car, but there was something that I always liked about it; like you, my heart fell for it as soon as I have seen it.

Enjoy it in good health, it is a great machine!

PS
Why are the door handles sticking out?
