490hp, small, very pretty: is that enough to make the fastest F-Type a 911 rival? And would an Aston do the job of a Brit roadster better? This video might expand on some of these points.

Mr. Harris is simply brilliant. Listening to his color commentary while pushing interesting cars through their paces is a joy. As owner of a 997S Cab, and some truly fast mid-engined cars, I still struggle to hear Chris say what makes the Porsche so special. And it is so very special. That light front end that speaks of every pebble while skidding across the surface, perfect controls, a liquid engine that spins up just right. It is so far beyond what the two Brit cars offer. In a class of one.

@lucasbarnes803510 жыл бұрын
Has anyone who's commenting here driven all these cars? I have and out of all of them I am going to buy the Aston and here are my reasons. The Jag feels like an A3 to drive with more power.... it just doesn't feel special. The interior looks good from a far but fills cheap when your in it. The sound is artificial and louder then is goes. The Porsche is a great car, but again feels muted to drive, it's losing that sports car fill as it's becoming more refined. It handles fantastically but just doesn't feel special. The Aston is hard to describe. The best way I can describe it is that when you get a custom suit made, it's the imperfection that make it special and that is what the Aston feels like to drive...... It has character. It's also well powered for British roads (you can use it closer to it full potential), it feels special to drive, it look amazing and the sound is just epic V8!
@suppaman193 жыл бұрын
Bullshit. I've driven and the V8 F-Type is faster than the Aston both in actuality and in feel. The Porsche is the most taut and feels more precise and just well done. The Jag is more raw, and that is part of its charm. So it's more what you want out of your car between those two. The Vantage is good considering it's age, and the materials are largely good, but it lacks in features compared to a F-Type or 911, is the slowest, and has a very old cabin design that 's out of the early 2000s. I also hate the Vantage steering wheel. That's not to say it's a terrible car. But in 2014, it was left in the dust by cheaper cars. There's a reason it eventually got scrapped and then entirely redesigned which was long overdue, though I don't like the exterior of the new Vantage all.
@JimboJet7372 ай бұрын
I echo your sentiment, the Aston has a physical weight to it that the Jag doesn’t and by that I mean both in driving and in the cabin. I imagine the Jag will creak and rattle after a few years and the Aston will probably too but with a less irritating pitch of rattle. There are signs in the Jag cabin that it’s been built to a cost (the glovebox is light and flimsy), that’s not so readily apparent in the Vantage. I think the Jag compromises itself - the V8 is ofc headline material and no doubt a great car but it’s not really the best of all Worlds and the V6 is a V8 with two inactive cylinders, a very lazy design choice. The V4 is not quite powerful enough and doesn’t give the soundtrack. So then back to the V6, except they’ve discontinued it!!! 😢 The Aston has its own character, is a timeless classic and gives the driver a bucket load of good feels from the exhaust note yet is still refined when you stay under 4000rpm. The Aston is also my choice here. The Porsche is a victim of its own success, for me the cabin feels too narrow and it’s a more sports car like ride which whilst great on the track, isn’t the most ideal for the road.

If I could afford one-I'd take the F-type in a heartbeat. I know that the 911 is faster, but I seriously wouldn't care if my lap times where a second slower. I mean, where on earth would you be able to push cars such as these to their apsoulte limts, and say:"Yeah the Porsche is faster". ??? The F type, looks and sounds better, and while it isn't as fast, it is fast enough. The 911 is kind of dull on the outside, and downright ugly inside. No seriously it looks just like another Volkswagen. It just doesn't feel like 97 000 quid to me.

Maybe it's because I'm younger - I don't know, but the 911 is just not that desirable to me.

Ive loved Aston since boyhood and a Porsche 911 is weaved into our history as petrol-heads, yes. But the Jaaag is fresh yet elegant. Pricey yet affordable. Sports car yet not snobbish. And for me the Jag F-Type is one of those cars since >2010 thats, all things considered, the best in the world.

Jeff The Killer The XKRS was $132k, the F Type was I think $105k maybe a bit more I forget. A lot less than a Porsche with a few minor options that's for sure. Cheers!

The fact that a company can make a faster car for less money doesn't make it 'the' car for enthusiasts. Enthusiasts of car passion enjoy the car. The way it looks, the way it drives, the way it souds, the way you interact with it, the way it feels.. The plastic piece of junk named 'Corvette' you mentioned just goes fast and that's it. Cars like these in the video on the other hand, express real car passion. This gentre of cars attracts people with taste and passion my friend.

The only problem with this video is that you tried to drive the F-Type like the lower torque sports cars you were comparing them to, you looked like you were in a drifting contest. Americans learned years ago that you drive a high torque heavy car with an educated right foot, otherwise spinning tires don't give you forward momentum.

I love the fact that you think only Americans learned how to drive properly. There is such a long list of famous and successful American rally/touring car/F1 drivers to back that up. The reason Chris slides the back end around is because that looks interesting on video and it gets more KZfaq subscribers than driving smoothly despite driving smoothly obviously being faster. If you watch one of the videos of Chris actually in a race it is clear he can drive the lines properly keeping the car under control with just the right amount of slip angle.

+andrew warner If it's a comparison test then why didn't he use his skills to drive each car to it's capability instead of showing off? rally, touring and F1 are not popular in the US. Because of our roads we like big heavy high horse power cars, which don't do well on European roads.

The 911 is a legend. The F-Type will be forgotten in 10 years. I prefer the Porsche.

The problem with the 911 is that the engine is in the wrong place. If yuppie weasels didn't refuse to let Porsche put real engines in the Boxter, it would be a better car.
@rousseau32710 жыл бұрын
Gwynne66 No, a higher powered Boxster would be a faster, but an ordinary mid-engined car among the company of the R8, 12C, Exige S, and the like. It would not be a better car.

I would go for the Aston because of the way it looks and how it makes you feel driving it but the Porsche would be a very close second. Great video as always Chris!

As an FType R dynamic owner-the FType is a gem. I’m not against the coolness of the Aston, and the prestige, but I’m not convinced it looks better or performs any better at all. Never driven a 911, so I’m in no position to compare.

I drove a 911 4S around for a couple of weeks and I must say, I really enjoyed it, have to disagree with Tim on this one ;) Compared to other cars I've driven, the Porsche for me just made me feel connected to the road, the steering was challenging when pushing the car, but not in a negative way at all, it made me work to get a handle on it, lovely driving machines.

tim gorton Generic? How so? I've driven all types of porsches; the '71 911E being my favorite. I must say, these 991s are extremely exciting to drive.

Porche 911 is a driver's car and will always be that with decades of engineering and breakthrough technologies under its badge! F Type is a new product designed to fill a market segment. It is more of a car to be seen in, and can never be as much of a driver's car as 911. Jag certainly looks good from the rear, but it immediately makes me think Ferrari California and Ford F40. Only, looking good is one component of a good car. These videos should be called "Looking at Chris Harris blab...". Show the footage of the car, not this dude talking.

I want to hear the review, and watch the footage of the car, while doing so. Would sure make for a better show, than focusing camera on Chris' face and calling it a car segment. As if the cameraman or producer have some fetish with staring at him.....shudders... Yes; one of the best sport cars to come out of USA; the 40 inches tall F40 (Ferrari eater).

Not a real porche fan (don't know why, just never have been), huge Aston Martin fan, and kind of a fan of jaguar. But 10 times out of 10 I would pick that f-type v8s. I just love everything about it. Except the price. But who wants to pay for it? Lol
