Having owned the F-Type for almost 3 years I do have an opinion on this. If you are looking for a beautiful car with great street presence and you have the money, the F-Type is a fantastic car. It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. It’s one I’m proud to own. However, if you are...

Okay, so having owned the F-Type Coupe for two years and loving it, she has not quite reached 3,000K miles. Has anyone done less miles per year on average than me ? I really enjoy the car, but its not a daily driver and I'm out of the country quite a bit. Sometimes I wonder if I should have...

Took the F-type to the seaside today. Great day for a drive and no need to have it locked away all winter. It blew the cobwebs away from the car and me. When I first saw the fixed spoiler on the back of an F-Type, I though it looked to agressive, but having one that goes up and down has a...

I saw a red 64 plate F-Type coupe parked at the WeBuyAnyCar area in Coventry today. I hope it was parked in the wrong place. It's sad - I hope they got a good deal.

I saw an F-Type 2.0 last night near Rugby. The exhaust pipe gave it away and it's more Porsche-like. It's not my cup of tea. It's a shame.

We have had a leaflet though the door (and speed stickers for the bin) about a village meeting to 'reduce speeding' and the best ways to do this. It's very nice to have this type of consideration rather than me waking up to a speed camera on the lawn. I can't say we have a problem with speed...

Now for those under 45 who own an F-Type this does not apply to you but for us older ones (especially the guys) it may. I see a lot of people in their late 50's or 60's in F-Types and wonder how it looks to others. Is it like an old man wearing leather pants (trousers), or an wealthy retired...

Does the AWD have less effect in Dynamic mode that in the standard driving mode or snow mode?<div><br></div><div>The reason for asking is that it was raining the hard this week and I found myself at a 'T' junction turning right onto an 'A' road which had lots of run off room and no traffic. So...

Looking back on your Jaguar Mobile App, what is your best MPG and over what distance. <div><br></div><div>On the 13th September I got 35.2 mpg over 43 miles at an average speed of 58 mph. For a British sports car with a 3ltr petrol engine, that's not bad, not bad at...

It's a year since I first placed the order for the F-Type and started the 105 day wait. Long enough to decide on the optional extras and wondering what people might think of this expensive present to myself.<div><br></div><div>Well that time has flown by and although I have not driven as far as...

Most married men know that their wives are always right and that's the way we like it. However there are some times that you begin to wonder.<div><br></div><div>Today we were at a Dealership buying a new car for my wife. My wife was on the phone to the bank to authorise the payment. At the same...

I decided to take the F-Type for a pleasure drive tonight and invited my daughter along for the ride as she is back home for the weekend. Anyway, we were just going down a nice long country lane at a sensible speed when we saw two cars pulled up on the grass in front of us and 4 young men stood...

If you see a fellow F-Type driver on the road and you are in your F-Type, is there an special gesture that one should make. Do we flash our lights, do a royal wave or just smile broadly. <div><br></div><div>I'm never sure of the etiquette <img...

I finally figured out how the options price list is figured out for cars. The Director of Marketing writes the cost of the option on a piece of paper and then sets is on fire. They then drink their second cup of coffee, turn on their iPad and start the random number generator App. See what the...

If you want an F-Type as a secondary car for fun at the weekends (or during the summer) then what is the minimum specification ?<div><br></div><div>I think I could get it down to £54,400 with a 340bhp Coupe. The extras that I would put on are the cruise control/limiter, the front parking sensors...
