Bought a 2015 v6s coupe with 10k miles. Put 5500 in a about 9 months. No problems at all, absolutely love it as a daily driver. Much more of a sports car feel than the R or v8s, the v6 suits it better Imo.

I had a 997 manual Turbo and now a F Type RWD 5.0 R and love it. It is full of character and is probably quicker than an SVR in a rolling race due to being lighter but with not much less power. The R is the one you should have bought.

Thank you for the update. It was fun following you and learning about the f-type (my next car). Good luck on your next car.

You said how outdated this car is in March 2019 and yes i am buying this car in 2020 and still think it is awesome.

Must agree Tom have owned a far few cars but the F-Type SVR is the way to go, still puts a massive grin on my face after nearly 2 years of ownership (16000 miles) and unless I wanted to throw another £100,000 at a car still nothing around IMHO that ticks all the boxes this car does. All the best in your search for the next car though ;)

I had Ftype 5.0 running 585bhp. Hits 205mph comfortably. If you dont have the 5.0 v8 then it's more of an every day car rather than a Supercar/Sports car.

@PetrolHeadsLdn 3 жыл бұрын

Agreed. And I think that’s a shame. It lacks the sense of occasion in the v6 compared to the v8.

Looking forward to the next car. Something in me says it could be an i8 roadster, a 981-gen Cayman GTS or a 991 911. I could be completely wrong but that's part of the fun ;-)

All good guesses and great cars. I’ll update soon. Nothing in the garage yet!

Your F-Type is an older year - look at the new updated one its slam dunk !!!! It got everything your talking about from an upgrade stand point

Love this car I might go for one after owning the XE. Just wanted to know did you have gravel rash around the wheel arch? I the film protection on my XE on the front and the arches it works well but cost £500

@PetrolHeadsLdn 5 жыл бұрын

No gravel rash. Defoe you consider a V8 coupe. Awesome bit of kit.

Oh no! Devastated! Looked & Looked & Looked.... for one special car in my lifetime, for YEARS! Suddenly realised the F-Type was it, the only car I found, at any price, with such soul & character, like Harley or Triumph. I really enjoy your vids & wish you well...thank you...

Jeremy Clarkson raved about the V6 so who do you go with this dude review or Clarksons

@PetrolHeadsLdn 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah but he did t own one. It’s just my real life view. Take it or leave it. It’s a great car. Has many many pluses. Yes the v6 is a good engine. Chassis ia good and overall a smashing car. But the V8 just brings it to another dimension and really does make the car an animal. But the v6 is way more accessible and usable as a daily. Interesting jag have dropped the v6 in favour of the 2.0.

How many miles did you clock up?

@PetrolHeadsLdn 5 жыл бұрын

Had my F type 3 Jan 2019 , Ecu fault so didn't pick up till a week later, then water in both headlights, no Review camera so had to retroactively fit one but there was 4 1/2 from red stop line to fence! Then no hands free phone, to list a few things! So after 350 miles I told them to have the car back, that's 3 1/2 weeks only. What a game to hand back! Shame.
