Aston Martins are significantly more expensive

Sounds like you drove a base spec

@@nessuno5403 No, the Type R is the top spec, V8 awd.

@@335i101 no, the Type R is a Honda Civic. You obviously mean a Jaguar F-Type R. It can be optioned to be more luxurious, but sounds like you drove a base spec one.

@@nessuno5403 Ok, you are obviously trolling or know nothing the F-type trims. Show my a type-r that using different plastics than another type-r? They don’t exist. If you want the car great, it just seemed very cheap to me.

@@335i101 OK, you can obviously only rent cars and don't know anything about high end cars and the endless options you can fit to them, which do exist.

That would be a big lose for the Jag.

@@philsalley3278 well in terms of renting, I’d rent the Jag over the Lexus. Jaguar=Poor man’s Aston.

Yup, the 6 sounds so much better than the V8. Plus I think it fits the character of the car. It's not bruiser.

Yeah, it makes a good rental. I’d never own a ‘Jeeaahhg’-Jezzah.

@@skullsroad3642 on what planet does the V6 sound better?

You can option various colors

lol no one's shopping a Jag against a Mustang or Camaro. You're clearly a muscle car fan boy, but you do you.

@@iamthelaw69 You're very correct. No one is cross shopping them which is how jag gets away with this. The issue is that they actually are cross shoppable due to just how awful this f type is. It's not really I'm a fanboy of muscle cars, I'd never buy a muscle car. I just know my car and know this thing is a pos

Same here. Old one looks better.

Good car for Doug DeMuro, who doesn't need reliability.

The AJV8 is a pretty solid engine

4 Jaguars in my household since 2011. 2 fiends with modern Jaguars. Not one significant issue. Lexus was the most unreliable vehicle we ever had, the Jags have been fine.

@@inomad you're definitely in the minority, especially with the lexus

@@inomad are you commenting from an alternate reverse universe? 😁 (JK) Mo powah to you man!

Should’ve gotten the R

@@mikeamizzle I had the V-AP tune and pulley, power wasn’t the issue, if it was a manual trans, I’d have been happy.

@@thuwakanda965 I just got mine with a manual this week :) From what I can see there where only 1,000 or so manuals sold in the US - get them while you can.

I picked the AWD R over the LC. LCs interior was definitely nicer - though the tan leather in the Jag makes it appear much richer than the black reviewed here - but I already have a daily driver. The Jag simply handled better and was more fun to drive; definitely more sports car -like than the LC. LC500 looks more exotic in person - but the Jag is simply gorgeous in a more classic way. Can’t go wrong with either…

In your cold, wet, miserable roads... not elsewhere in the world. And you can get an AWD if driving skills can't cope.

@@nessuno5403 I regularly track my car, and have lots of fellow enthusiasts that echo the same sentiment about the P-Zero, and they roll in more powerful C7/8 vettes, Type Rs, even a few GT-Rs. AWD don't mean squat when tires can't grip. Any seasoned racer can tell you that. Only keyboard racers would think AWD can cope with anything.

@@iamthelaw69 😂 who mentioned tracking? It's utterly funny that only North Americans criticize tyres and have to have a winter and summer set. The USA is not the world and - again - in the rest of the world, the P Zero works just fine or it wouldn't sell or be a top tyre in Pirelli's catalogue :)

Unrelated

I own a 2019 F-type R V8 and I agree with you, I had a 2009 Aston Martin DB9 prior and a Toyota Supra previously. The interior and finishes on the Aston Martin are miles ahead of any Jag. What this car is vs the others is pure fun, and it’s been very reliable, but comparing this car to borderline super cars is apples and oranges Regards

"super reliable" and "somewhat inexpensive for service and repairs" You are looking at the wrong brands lmao.

Neither brand is reliable at all. They're two of the worst brands sold for that, and likewise for repair costs. Parts are expensive and scarce, since so few of these cars are sold in the US and there are very few dealers. As for models, Maserati doesn't make anything comparable to the F-Type. They make mainly sports sedans and crossovers. Their one current sports car, the MC20, is an entry-level supercar, with a base price three times that of the Jaguar (well over $200k). If you're looking for a convertible sports car in the $75k-$100k range, the obvious choice is the Porsche Boxster. The BMW Z4 Is a bit cheaper, but its performance isn't comparable and it just feels cheaper inside, and doesn't look that good. The Boxster is famed for the excellence of its handling and is plenty quick enough. It's smoother, quieter, and more refined than the Jag, and also quite a bit more reliable, with better parts availability. but it isn't as beautiful and doesn't have the roar of that supercharged V-8. Choosing the Jag means putting up with more deficiencies, like the antique infotainment system, and likely more breakdowns.

@@markmiller3279 Appreciate that detailed response brother.

Stay away from British and Italian cars. If you’re into wrenching, then you can probably go with a German car. …just get a Lexus, Acura, or even Genesis.

OK, there is just one British exception: that’s Lotus. And I’m only saying that because it has a Toyota derived drivetrain.

GM dealers suck

@@09Ateam On what basis do you make that statement. 25 years and 6 Corvettes later, nothing but great service from multiple Chevy dealerships and the best part of it is with Corvettes you rarely visit the dealership other than for scheduled maintenance.

Unrelated cars, dude

@@nessuno5403 How you can say unrelated defies logic. Similarly priced but Jag not competitive with the Corvette unless you value the name. Does nothing as well as or better than the C8.

@@philsalley3278 typical American 😂 one is a European cruiser import with a front engine, the other an American mid-engined sportscar still made of plastic and glue? The only common thing is they both have a V8.

I love the Camaro ZL1 engine

@@nelsonthomas5743 ah I forgot the gm 6.2 🤦‍♂️.

Ferrari 4.7 is at the top; everything else is pretty much how they rank in terms of sound. GM 6.2 would be above Mustang 5.0l.

@@trevorsutherland5263 oh I forgot. The V10 in the R8 or LFA 😀

@@naveenthemachine that’s more Aston territory. Jag is to Aston the way Fiat is to Ferrari.

People who can afford these cars (old people), don't drive manuals.

@@skullsroad3642 good point with the “old people” comment. This car’s estimated 50k lifespan will outlive those boomers 😂

So... the older versions are the best.... because are cheaper (used) and manuals...

@@faygox955 well let’s not jump the gun. Based on consumer report statistics, any jag over 50k miles is basically on life support. That’s around the time it becomes a money pit of repairs. (Not maintenance)

Kidding, right?

I’d rent this over the stang. Never buy either one! 😏

This Jaguar V8 is kind of related to a Ford V8 anyway

You're living in the past, John...quality is much improved; I (my wife) owns a 2017 F-Pace and a 2021 F-Type R; zero issues. You can see them both on our YTC, click my avatar.

@@CatNMrDJ Quality doesn't look good at all. Look at how small the interior screen is, and all that hard plastic, yuck. New cars from Kia or Toyota have better interior. The few people that buy Jaguar's, do it for the brand name. A simple M3 is better than anything Jaguar can offer.

@@John-hp2hg you didn’t look at mine obviously, soft touch throughout. Anyways, we’re very pleased with ours. BTW, i also own a 2020 Toyota, 2021 Kia, a 2019 Corvette, etc. Happy with all.

It’s supposed to be the budget Aston. Even after Ford ownership, Jag still takes queues from the Vantage and DB.
