Check out how much I spent modifying the F-Type: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6-hn8-Zs7Lcj4E.html

These are reviews I’m looking for I can’t sand someone who does a “long term review” with 20,000 miles on the car

Thanks for the update. As someone who is considering a used F-type, but worried about the reliability reputation, it was good to hear that even though there were problems, they weren't "major". I hope she continues to be a good ride for you!

I love these high mileage reviews of high performance car. Keep it up!

I am viewing as many Jaguar F-type videos as possible and have just found this one Sal, I am thinking of purchasing an F-type coupe rather than the soft-top mainly because I would require a reasonable space for luggage so I thank you for showing this video, I found it very informative.

Thanks for showing us the real life issues the F-Type can have. Appreciate you explaining them clearly.

I'm sure you will agree as an owner that this generation F-Type is a modern classic. I hate the update to the current gen and wished that Jaguar had gone a different direction with the headlights or just left it alone. At any rate as with all cars there will be problems that comes with age but if it is well maintained and you address the issues as they come up, the S-Type is relatively reliable. The fact that it is a high mileage car shouldn't deter anyone from seriously considering purchasing one if they know what to look out for. That's why I would just like to say thank you for this video. It really serves as a guide for anyone looking to get their hands on this modern classic. I don't own one as yet but I feel more comfortable knowing what I know now. My only issue is whether to go for the V6 or a V8.

Those angles on the f-type are so dope🔥keep the content coming !

Good job! Would like to see POV drives if possible, love the sound!

Very educational video! This is super helpful. Keep up the great work!

I was looking for a video with rhe exact content, very informative thank you! Keep it up!

Thanks for your honesty. I have been considering a Jaguar for a long time and would only lease new based on this video. Everyone’s perception is different but to me that’s a lot of issues for a car with under 70k miles.

Thanks for this video. I just subscribed. About to buy a V6 S so this information comes in handy. Greetings from London, England.

It's a really good video. I like the way you had video of each thing that went wrong. When you said sludge, I thought that sounded bad, until I saw it. Whoa! The only thing I would ask is that you turn the intro music down or the rest of the volume up.

Good work on keeping that tuned F-Type running healthy.

Thanks for a great video! I have a 2015 F-Type V8 S with 67k miles causing me some problems, the coolant reservoir will not stay full. Had it checked today & he says I need a new heating supply manifold, its causing the coolant to leak onto the catalytic converter & starts steaming. Thx so much for the info!

Thanks for you honest review!! Appreciate it :)

Nice video. My buddy has the V8 FT he bought re-built with a salvaged title but still maintained a warranty. Nice car. I own a Maserati GranTurmiso and invented a No-Drill removable front license/action camera mount.

As always thanks for the informative, video Uncle Sal. I'm very ignorant, when it comes to jaguars.

Very helpful and informative video. I am thinking about buying the manual trans version. But I'm a little nervous about owning a vehicle with such low production numbers. Worried about the availability of replacement parts.

Love the review it was so helpful, Thank you

Awesome video, thanks for your thoughts and honest input!! What song did you use for the intro?!

I have 42,200 miles on the exactly same car....no repairs since new.....same brakes and battery...maintenance is cheap compared to other sports cars. I have owed this car since May 2014....changed tires once..Michelin tires now.

I own a 2014 F-Type V8S convertible as a daily driver with 69,000 miles. In 4 years of ownership, apart from regular maintenance items, the only issues I have had were a slight leak on the differential, a known issue on early cars due to a small breather pipe which blocks over time, and a slightly leaking coolant pipe which was unfortunately deep in the engine. Both were fixed, the Diff seal by a main dealer and the coolant leak by an independent specialist. Otherwise the car has been totally reliable and is a total joy on every drive. I have owned many cars in 45+ years of driving, including 5 other Jags which were much more costly to maintain properly. The F-Type is the best car I have ever owned and one I hope to keep until I no longer drive. They are high performance means with soul and character, with that comes a certain expense, but believe me the cost is more than justified.

Beautiful car, im in the market for one. Great video!!

I love your reviews on your f-type. I don't have one but I'm really considering buying one by the end of this year or first part of this year. How easy has it been for you to find the parts, like the normal wear and tear parts? I can't find any videos on the suspension system, changing the shocks and struts, changing the alternator or even changing the water pump or thermostat. I like to do as much of the work as possible on my vehicle. So how much work have you been able to do on Jag yourself and how much trouble has it been to get the parts? Thanks.

I didn’t even watch the whole video… SO many issues for a fairly new-ish vehicle. Had a test drive set up but cancelled, you just saved me 50k. Thanks good sir 🙏🏽

Excellent review, beautiful car and I want one in the worst way!!!

100 dollar cost for part , 1500 cost for labor that's priceless.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I have a 2015 F-Type and you've hit all the high (or low) points. But I still love owning the car.

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful car.

Great video bro! Thank you

Good job Sal !

the designer, Ian Cullen, also did some Aston Martin's so that is why they look similar.

I started off with a 2017 F Type base V6. I loved it… But I recently traded it in for a 2017 F Type R AWD… Let me tell you it’s night and day. The V8 is a whole different monster and if you ever get a chance to upgrade I would highly recommend it.

Bought Jaguar F pace brand new , but always comcern about reliability reputation, beacuse i love the car !

Interesting and informative. Not too bad for a high end car with a lot repaired under warranty. And no disrespect intended, but I was itching to do a detailed cleaning of that interior. LOL

Typical mechanical issues for cars with 70k-80k miles. I'm there now with my 2016 F-Type "R:" too. Still, I'll probably pay the price of maintaining and keeping this car for it's second life to 150k+ miles. That's how much I like it. And, with Jaguar now changing to EV by 2025, I think I like my even more when we get there.

This is why I daily a Lexus IS, I have no problems at 240k miles. I still want this car but I'm definitely happy with what I have now

I was a month away from buying one of this as a daily, nothing crazy, just 8k milles a year... But this video makes me rethink about it. My other option is an RS3, more practical, more rational, faster and better handling but far far away in sound and look

F type is one of most beautiful sports car in my eyes, but I can't get over how unreliable it is. I had g35 with 150k with no issue. Now I have q50 with 50k with 0 issue. Tried and tested VQ engine

To add another one: Make sure you have a washer tank fluid level sensor for front and rear... Had mine simply stop working for no reason. Around $400 labour and $50-60 for the part

Good video but sure are a lot of commenters that know very little about performance cars. First the Jag F-Types are driven nothing like the toyota's or lexus they speak about keeping but driven very hard. Its near impossible to go casual cruising in one if you have the exhaust they do. Second this vehicle is a mutli owner vehicle who previous owners did not service needs based on looking just even at the rear diff especially for a first gen vehicle. Third, it has a tune and changes to it that will push the motor much harder. I have had 911 TT's, 911 air cooled and others and I can say the V8 AWD F-TYPE that have is bullet proof compared to the money I spent on post warranty for the Porsches. The amount spent by this high mileage vehicle does not even pay for the 1 of the 2 spoiler fails I had on the 991TT.

Im looking to get one so please keep making videos.

Surprising number of faults at this mileage. I ran a 5.0 XK from new for 12 years and 74,000 miles and experienced no issues at all aside from routine consumable items. Perhaps the 3.0 litre engine is relatively fragile.

Was your wearing steering wheel sticky with scratches as well? Very discolored. Iv been trying to find a suede stitch wrap but no one offers them for style flat bottom.

Nice FType, just to mention I have a 2011 XJL 5.0 my feul injectors went out at 80k along with some spark plugs cost me $ 3k thru private mechanic to repair dealer wanted $ 4300 but I love my Jag.

Good video. Thinking of getting 2019, just because I want to make lots of noice. I’m not a handywomen so I would be screwed. With the price at the dealership for repairs. Do you have any opinions on my take.

amazing, also in future will get that car, and + F-pace :p

Great video!

The guinea pig at the end 😂

Great video mate helped a lot. I have the v6s also. A year ago had to replace 3 of my injectors and after that I had the check engine light because of the cats clogged up but some spirited drive made my check engine go away. Since then I have done 2000 miles and now the check engine light came back. I hope after some spirited drives ot will go away or I will have to go catless. How does the sound change? Is it much louder when the exhaust flaps are open or closed? Thanks!

Whats your opinion on a ftype vs an Porsch 981 S or 981c S? Also taking about price stability

Wow your diff oil was straight up pudding. At least the seals aren't leaking, I had to have my seals replaced twice.

Great review

Good job bro. Nice ride

Thank you for the honest review. No surprise, 70k is considered as high milage for an F-type, it is a proof for its unreliability.

I've had an f type for nearly 3 years now. Has been totally reliable no issues. Dont know why they have reputation for unreliability. Got rid of my last BMW 330e after 4 electrical failures and then wouldnt release fuel cap. Had an Audi A5 that required full engine rebuild at 70k miles. German quality is a myth.

The sub frame... the rust is another thing to look out for (rear sub frame)

I always wondered.. can you supercharge this V6? The P300 with a remap only gets to 320hp. Any of guys know how to crank it up more? Thanks!

V8R 53k in no issues fingers crossed. Regular maintenance and servicing FTW.

Nicely sorted video, well done with great explanations. Kudos. As a guy (who’s name happens to be Sal) who has owned various sports cars since the 1970’s I don’t know that I consider 70K miles to be ‘high mileage’, but perhaps it is accurate given the newer generation of cars are 90+% plastic under the bonnet and accountants win out over engineers. I owned a used (pre-owned for the Millennial / Gen Z crowd) 16’ F-Type base and sold the car after one year. While the design is stunning, I simply was not impressed overall; and yes, I drove the S and R Types prior to purchasing. Regarding the S and especially the R, other than producing a great deal of exhaust noise, I wasn’t moved to purchase power I would never use unless on a track (I’m pragmatic like that). I admit it didn’t help that I elected to purchase an automatic transmission, which in my view is sinful in a sports car, though I’m speaking rather hypocritically here... Beyond the F-Type’s poor fit and finish as well as multitude of wonky parts for the price of entry, in my humble opinion, I have come to feel that today’s (the last 15 years or so) sports cars have become increasingly too sterile, offering no sense of oneness with the car. Get behind the wheel of a 1980’s 911, 93’ RX7, 97’ NSX (re mileage, I purchased mine with 76K miles and in 5 years of ownership and 20K miles, beyond normal maintenance I only replaced a worn tie-rod), 65’ C2 Corvette, a 68’ Jaguar XKE FHC. These examples will give you seat of the pants thrills and enjoyment that simply cannot be matched by today’s sports cars. Once more, this is simply my humble opinion.... no one’s baby is ugly....

How to you feel about the awd supercharged v8 models?

Would you still recommend buying one now ? Do you have an updated video ? I see this is two years ago!

Great info

The discoloration on the steering wheel is the soft touch material that fades away through time. I do not know why luxury car makers think we want this material when its really crappy. You can remove it all with Acetone and then spray a sealant/ clear coat/ or finisher on top.

I owned this type Jag for 4 years, drove it to 100,000 miles after 4 years. All I did was change the oil every 3000 miles and drove it easy, not like a maniac. Not one problem.

any rust issues with the cross members under the car?

I don't think Honda could fix your engine since it's really not damaged, it's really a design problem with direct injection engine so you'll really need to do shorter oil change intervals. Good to see that you could just DIY it.

every car has its issues but the quesiton is are you looking good in whatever other car youre having issues with

5:06💩 Nice review. A rollercoaster at that. Im thinking of buying but scrolling down you didnt recommend as daily so im reconsidering it

pretty solid car compared to the other euro rivals.

are you sure the diff was wining and the sludge was added to make it quiet before you bought the car

Love my F Type!... but has anyone had any issues with random beeping/chiming, like an internal alarm. Happens randomly when I'm parked and sometimes when I'm driving. Please let me know if anyone has a clue what this is.

Car is fire thou 🔥🔥

I had a 2016 F-Type . The rear diff is a common issue. they changed mine complete at 29,000 klms and everyone else that i know with F-Type had the diff changed . too many issues for the few miles i put on it . hood never fits

When do you change rear diff every what ?

Still i would buy it just for it’s sexy rear bumper🔥

I’d rather have an F Type than a Corvette. Love the styling. Really don’t care about the minor cosmetic stuff,it’s the mechanical issues that run up the cost of owning.

picking up a 14 base, also supercharged, whats the difference between the s and the base?

and everyone. 70,000 miles is considered high millage. On most European cars you must look at miles sort of like dog years. This is the same for Maserati or Alpha Romeo and the many others European vehicles. These cars are not built by robots for most of the brands mentioned. These cars are not for people trying to drive to work daily putting on 15 to 17 k miles in years. I own a F-Type and Maserati Quattroporte and never have problems with them. My primary car for daily use is a Nissan Murano and don't have any problem with that as well. Just know what you are buying and how to drive it. The issue is when people who can't normally afford these cars get them for cheap and then try to drive them like Nissan, Honda, or Toyota as their daily primary car. (Some people can get away with it though if drive with care and parked indoor in temp controlled environment). Otherwsise, you will pay if you drive these like a Japanese daily car in most cases. I have a friend that has a Nissan GTR and used it for 20k a year primary car and he also paid big time. It is also a performance machines and not made for daily high mile usage. It would be like taking a Nascar to work daily and complaining the car broke down. If you want a semi luxury every day car get a Lexus or Genesis they are great for that.

Hey brother, do you still have the Jag? Im really considering getting of these next year but worried about reliability. They look so nice 😍

I've had 2 & no issues whatsoever...but I've never won the lottery, so swings & roundabouts, really!

The v8 5.0 would have been a more solid engine.I know the AJ 8 v8 5.0 has been the most reliable engine jaguar has ever baked out the factory.That v8 is in Land Rovers too

Re injectors - known to clog up with poor quality fuel, solution is simply to use quality injector cleaner a every year or so

Would you recommend buying a f type with 70k miles?

Tbh, all the problems mentioned for a high performance vehicle is nothing. My XF has the similar coolant leak minor problems once in a while. Engine and gearbox is solid tho. And parts on jaguars is wayyyyy more reasonably priced that some of the German exotics.

get some JB weld for that coolant reservoir leak homie, works miracles too late now but if ever in the future

How does 6 injectors go bad at once? Maybe 1-2, and they just changed them all and comped it.

If your getting whine from the differential then it is on its way out unfortunately.

Song’s name, please!! The very first one

All easy fix I’m gona buy one

Whats that song in the intro

Previously poorly maintained car has some issues, who'd have thunk?

It’s looks like it been sitting for a while and runned at the same time , if you have the money there’s no problem

Beautiful car 😍

Watched this video to talk me out of buying one but now I want one even more. Lmao

This is my favorite car of all time and I've owned almost 30 cars. Yes the injectors are SHIT! If I ever buy another one the first thing I would do is see if I can get aftermarket injectors. The dealership will charge about $1100, for 1 injector and they are a mother fucker to change. If you buy this used get an aftermarket warranty that covers anything connected to the engine. The active exhaust is also a point of failure. The baffles fail. It's british so its just not gonna be reliable compared to a Japanese car or even an American car. About the same as most German cars. But this car put a smile on my face every time I drove it.

Name of the song at the beginning
