Thanks for your review, Matthew! I bought a 2017 F-Type S a couple weeks ago and love it! Big smile every time I get in.

Thank you for this video! I can never get enough content of the F-type, since it's my dream car & I'm researching for purchase. Yours was a practical perspective of ownership, not just the cookie cutter review like much of the content on KZfaq. Thanks again!!

The most surprising thing for me was how spectacular V8 exhaust note. I bought it for that, but I really had no idea how exotic it was.

I have the same model (S) but with the all wheel drive and it loves the snow ( as opposed to gravel or something which, let's face it, I wouldn't do obviously) The best part of you video is when you went into the tunnel and you could hear the glee and laughing because that's how I feel EVERY time I drive it. Great video btw....😷

Good on you to use your Jag as a daily driver..! I've got an older 911 convertible that serves in the same manner, here in sometimes snowy Colorado. People have gotten so incredibly conservative regarding what they feel will work as a normal car, but there's no reason to shy away from something semi-exotic. Anyway, nice video! Thanks for posting.

I’m so thankful to live in Atlanta at the base of the Appalachians. My v8 F-Type absolutely LOVES mountain hairpins and switchbacks, eats up every single turn in cloud of smoke.

Hi Matt, I bought the 2017 F-Type R Convertible new 5 years ago as a second car. Today it has run 10'000 km, so just under 6'500 miles, and I can confirm all your findings Matt: this car is fun to drive, causes zero problems, the fuel consumption is very moderate for a 551 PS V8 supercharged vehicle. Like you, in 5 years I have never, absolutely never had a problem with my F-Type R... I have never been able to say that about any other car, BMW, Ford, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes, all those cars had their quirks, the Jaguar does not. A good car, for the V8 R identical good experience on my part as you had with the smaller S Matt!

Looking into getting one this year. Thank you for the helpful info.

These aren't "issues."

Exactly the kind of things I needed to know to finally give me that last nudge to buy! Thank you!

V8S owner: 1. I have no idea how you fit all that stuff in to your trunk. Bravo! The trunk size is a challenge for sure. 2. I have never once used the stop start. Surprisingly have always remembered to turn it off. 3. I hoon the crap out of my car. I fully use the power everytime I drive it. It's great that the V6 is enough for most, I have to have more power. In fact, I still want more. The V8 is explosive and quite dramatic, I'd miss it too much. 4. I have zero clue what MPG my car gets. Probably under 10 with how I drive it. 5. My car like yours has been flawless. I drive like a grandpa until she warms up, and then I drive her hard. I took the engine cover off mine after I learned the R models don't come with them due to heat. The cover deadens the direct injection noise a ton but it's also a big blanket. The V8S is identical to an R (only difference a tune) and the V6 is extremely similar to the V8 so if it were me I'd remove the cover on any F-Type if the engineers required it on the higher output. No need risking too much heat warping some heads.

Love the video, I have been researching f types for about 3 years waiting till I had the funs to buy one and then I just found a near perfect spec v6s coupe (auto ;( ) in stratus grey metallic with every optional extra sold by carmax for well under 35k for a ‘15 50k miles car, im only two days into ownership but this video was incredibly insightful and makes me more calm about ownership, great content.

Hey Matt, been subscribed since I found you video on fixing the sway bar links for your Saab. Nice video, the truck space looks like so much considering I probably would have had trouble fitting all that into my old '07 9-3 convertible with the top down. Issue number 2 if you can turn it off why would anyone complain haha? Issue 3 man you're super cool for driving it year round! It's definitely one of those cars I'd never think to see in the snow but here we are. Issue 4 ticks me off because my 4 cylinder Saab can barely hit 30mpg lol. Issue 5 is great news and pushes this car more into "maybe one day and it's practicable" category for me. That center vent thing is a neat trick. Overall I too loved this car for it's exhaust and for a convertible I think it looks great.

I had a 2016 coupe fire 3yrs, BULLETPROOF. Next lease I moved up to the R-sport 380hp and cross something off my bucket list and ordered and custom built from the factory a CONVERTABLE! I've been in the same cockpit for 4.5 years now and it's still ALL SMILES...👊💚👊

I have a v6S coupe awd for 2years from new and pretty much agree with what you say. Biggest negative was JLR quality control which is subpar coming from an Audi and surface rust on the rear steel A frame which is easily correctable (apparently rectified from 2019 my). The original looks the best in my opinion in person (though does not photograph well). Early models had bugs

So true, watching all the car reviewers in open road is not realistic. On most people's regular commute we can never let it rip before we have to hit the breaks again.. Thanks for the video, top notch.

Good video and I would agree, with your comments, even off the lights you cant pin the gas without breaking the speed limit in a couple of seconds. Enjoy your car. I have the Type R 4wd in Canada and its phenomenal in all weathers

Cinematic. V cool. Well done.

Loved the video...trunk demo was very helpful. I like the convertible better too. I'm impressed you use it in the snow. Did you add snow tires or are you using all season?

Love the specs on your car. Would've preferred red seats with red roof but black is great too.

I have a V8 F convertible too, it fits a large cart of groceries, my cleaning bucket, my leaf blower for drying the car, and my buffer. Its basically enormous.

My F-Type is also my daily driver, but I live in Charlotte. This man is brave to drive his every day in Canada. He must have been a goalie in his youth....

I would have another car for this weather. Thanks !!

As others mentioned, these aren’t issues but rather addressing what others perceive as issues. I own an R model and love it. I came from a 911 and it’s clearly a different animal. And the start/stop can be easily disabled by disconnecting it by the battery.

A Mac I have a 2018 jaguar F type. What did you purchase as intake simulate? 2:30

I am so glad to see #3 as someone from Iowa, I have been trying to figure out how well it does in snow. Any update on it's reliability after owning it like a year?

Thank you for the video! I just got an f type last week and I’m wondering do you experience any slippery or slide in winter with winter tire on and snow mode on? I live in Toronto... and snow is almost always on the road. Just want to know how careful I should drive and is it a must that I need to buy a winter tire?

@1:00 I thought it was a scene out of the carbonaro effect!

Has anyone reported cylinder issues and water leakage wit the bonnet air vents?? I’ve been waiting since January 2021 for the cylinder and Jaguar can’t locate the part..I have now emailed the CEO of the company... it’s now April 2021.. no date for when the part will be a available. Car engine has been stripped down since January.. my patience is running thing. Can anyone help??? UK location...

I have a 16 manual, you can perminantly turn off the start stop in the trunk

I have an 03 Jaguar S Type R w 114 thouzand on it & I love it,I have never floored it yet,maybe 3/4 sometimes,I just Baby It & love the Style 👍🤓🇺🇸

4:50 haha this clip brings home your point

I owned v6 S 2015 auto and i definitely agree with you , its one of the best road sports car which has a GT cars advantages but with 2 seats. Really its a daily use and combine between Sports and GT cars. Also its very reliable.

Love your wit lol

What about snow on the ragtop? Any issue with snow weight?

Looks like the streets in Buffalo, NY 😆

:) nice one… when I take my SVR coupe out, heads turn and I fly and I always drive with speed limits. I use a speed limiter and it’s the most amazing car. #gofornirvana

Only one issue here @ 2:59 - 3:22 then skip to 6:01 - It's not the V8

I'm jealous

My F is the best part of my life.

I am just selling my 2.0ltr, 2019 F-Type after 2.5 yrs and 12,000 miles. I have had no problems what so ever, fuel is around 27mpg combined, so why am I selling? to but the 3.0ltr version, a brand new P380 in British racing green, these cars are superb.

4:51-5:01 can't serious. That had to be intentional. 😁🤣🤣

how tall are you????

V6 or v8?

Is these v6v

wow so sorry you have to drive it in the snow

If you live in the southern half of the USA, you use 100% of the car everyday, 365 days/yr. Its the beginning of the grand solar minimum, so by 2032 there will be no summers and winter will be 30F degrees colder. You'll still be able to use an F-Type all year round in the south.

Lol big boi stay out it if u got to do all that maybe the Roll Royce dawn drop top may be a better fit for u guys poor jaguar so much for Agility 😀

Issue #1: It's British made

This unfortunate guy has no idea that there is a world outside of the city. Poor man, poor car.

i don't understand why some people are talking about the trunk. they said oh its too small, well duh! yes it is. because its a sports car not an SUV. small brain.

Ok genius so most jaguar F types run on run flat tires No Need for Spare buy u shud already know this if you own this car.
