Jaguar F-Type P450 First Edition AWD Review: Why You Should Buy One Instead Of A 911

Рет қаралды 233,706

3 жыл бұрын

I was never much of a fan of the Jaguar F-Type. I always preferred the looks of the older XK, and when I drove a V6 convertible a couple of years ago, it left me very cold.
However, some time with the SVR softened my approach to Jaguar's sports car and now I finally get to spend some time in their new mid-range offering, the still V8 powered P450D AWD. For £85,000 including options
Thanks to BOTB for sponsoring this video. BOTB now give away TWO cars every week in their Dream Car and Midweek Car competitions. And they've now added £50,000 cash to every single car in the Dream Car line-up!
You only have to be 17 or over to enter and they have over 150 other cars to choose from with tickets ranging from £1.50 to £5.
They've been around for 20 years and have given away £37 million in prizes so far, so now could be your time to join their list of winners. There's also the chance to win an EXTRA £20,000 cash in the boot.

What’s worse, is that the whole community has convinced themselves that they need certain options to keep their 911 sellable in the future, and boy does Porsche know how to capitalize on that! When I spec’d my GT3, I avoided ALL the hairdresser options, stuck with manual transmission, carbon brakes, carbon bucket seats and splashed-out on silver seat belts. Sod the rest of the list, they can keep it all!

@robertcroft2905 3 жыл бұрын

Jay, I'd like you to test the 4 cylinder, just to see if it really is "that bad". The difference in cost is like £25-30k according to this video. The car and experience should be fun enough and special enough that 300bhp (340 with a stage 1 map) is enough to have good fun at a cheaper price point. This, coming from a KZfaqr who regularly praises the lesser Boxster/ Cayman. Not everyone has 80k to spend on a V8 and it's running costs.

Plus, the Jag feels big and powerful when you put your foot down, and the exhaust note sounds like something between a Mustang and an Aventador: sporty but thick and low. The Porsche feels like a speedy Go-Kart to drive. The 911 isn't over, obviously lol, but there are definitely some who would prefer this.

Probably the most honest and the best review of P450 out there. At first, I kinda disagreed with some of the things that you said in terms of look of the car. I think it is incredibly..however, you did a very impressive job convincing me to get P450 AWD instead of R...R is little too much for my budget but I also like to have the best possible version. Knowing that P450 is good enough and that it will deliver the trill makes me feel better about my decision. My last sports car was 2001 MR2 Spyder..I haven't tried any other real two door sports car since. When I try P450 AWD, I am sure that I will be blown away. Thanks for this great review!

But I'll be keeping my M2C - less luxury, less style, but more practical, less money and just as good to drive. Having slated the steering when you tested one, you really should have another go.

I’ve been looking at the exact comparison. The Jaguar has an interior that appears to have the same quality and longevity, which is a given when you consider a Porsche. A friend of mine purchased a used Carerra, just outside of the warranty and has had it for a further 3 years. The one thing that he has been most impressed with is the robustness of the interior, and the long intervals between servicing. The depreciation of the Jaguar is the key factor in my decision, but like for like, and money not an issue, then I would choose a Porsche every time. Great review.

I own a 2019 F-Type V8 and I’ll agree with you. The Porsche is just better engineered and has more history to build on.But the biggest difference is the cost to maintain, insurance etc speaking only where I live. My F-type has been very reliable, fuel consumption is reasonable if you don’t (drive dynamic) all the time. I had a 2009 Aston Martin DB9 I loved it but it was a lover of the garage repair man something I despise when spending a lot of money on cars. So I’ll say the Jag has been a pleasant surprise from a maintenance perspective, and it sounds absolutely amazing in dynamic mode. I think comparing this to a Porsche however is a bit of a reach.

@TIMSANDYSURF 2 жыл бұрын

The F type has a few tricks up it’s sleeve which make it a great alternative to a 911. First is the way it moves down the road and the whole package comes together as an experience that defies the numbers. The second is the road/tyre noise which, for long distance or daily use, allows the F to be so much more. It seems a small point but in the 911 there’s no escaping it, where the F can convert itself into a relaxed and quiet drive. Maybe I’m just getting old 😟
