@@v12-s65 Very true. Mostly due to the entire body being made out of aluminum. I put Michelin Pilot Sport AS-4's on it, and it grips like my Vantage in the corners. The suspension dynamics are absurdly good.
Well the XJ 351 is known to be the most reliable Jag ever. The XF from the same era for example, is a piece of shit. You win some you lose some with Jaguar.
I have a question for you. I don’t like the black Jaguar Growler Badges on the 2024 Models. Is it fairly easy to swap those out for the Red ones upon Order?
Please convince more people to buy this car is very good. So I also get less competition and more chance to find an used stelvio QV with ceramic brakes and no sunroof ahahah
Shelling around 100k for a car I'd like to be sure it will be relatively problem free, at the very least for the first 3 years. But I know it's not the case with Jaaaag's.
It just hit me, but if regular throttle house was all they did, and or if extra throttle house was all they did, it would be so similar to everyone else’s formats. They offer two different channels from the same 2 lovable guys. Thank you both for continually making me instantly click!
@@beri232 So they generally have gotten better but all engines across the JLR lineup still have their issues. The 4 cylinders are plagued with coolant leaks from the turbo feed lines. They also stretch timing chains and destroy camshaft sprockets. You’ll get a nasty timing chain rattle on cold starts and when they’re really bad it’ll do it on every start. It’s not consistent, some will be dead reliable and some are just pieces of shit. The supercharged V6s and V8s (same engine in the 24’ SVR by the way this is the last model to use this engine as it has been in service since 2010) are plagued with coolant issues…BAD.. They mainly leak from the water pumps, outlet pipes and rear coolant manifold pipes, you have to remove the supercharger to access them so it is expensive to do. It’s not a matter of if it will fail it’s WHEN it will fail. Other than that they honestly aren’t bad engines. The superchargers start to get noisy when high miles but I rarely see catastrophic failures with all of the engines across the board. The V6s and V8s will come in blown up because they’ve leaked coolant for so long that they overheat and cook head gaskets but again it’s rare. They still have infotainment glitches across all JLR models that’s something that won’t change. Boy that was long winded, that being said I would still happily own any SVR preferably the older ones because they sound the best.
I have an F-Type R. Thing is brilliant and way way underrated/overlooked. I think and hope people are waking up to the fact that these things are real contenders.
Me too, a 2022 model, 575hp 700nm, great car and owned it for 6 months and not seen another one on the road. When circumstances change definitely will be looking at F Pace SVR as it was on the list when I got the F Type R. The model i was looking at was the 1988 edition so I think it has a few extras included.
@@Flat_6 oh I have seen the V6 previous gen/pre facelift but never seen the SVR/R with current facelift. Around here people actually comment on it all the time
I was considering an F-Type svr, they are cheap, but I was disappointed by general performances (the 550hp svr is barely quicker than a 420hp 2018 911 4s), huge weight, and bad 55/45 weight distribution.
Massively underrated I have had two, third arrived last week, 80.000 miles with absolutely no reliability issues, my colleague has Lamborghini and whenever he leaves the office takes my Jaguar
I’ve had one for two years now. Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Fuel economy is surprisingly good if you’re nice to it. Other than the transfer case output shaft bearing crapping the bed and being down for two months we love it. Lease is up next year and we’re buying it out; adding the extended warranty of course!
I've driven it now more than 24K km and haven't had any major issues outside of Apple Carplay getting hung up on few occasions. Restarting the car fixed it. Outside of that, there is a strange wind noise coming in through the driver door at +180kph. The dealer tried correcting it when I had the car in for an oil change, but to no avail. Again, it's not unbearable and only happens at high speeds. I think its caused by a defective window seal.
I own a 2022 F-Pace SVR (essentially the same car as this) in Canada and it is bloody brilliant. The ride is a little harsh in town, the brakes are a bit over-grabby but that's nothing against the sound, the look and the drive. If you look beyond the german brand snobbism, this is a very good deal.
@@JaySinead12 You tell me but maybe better than you think. Jaguar earned such a bad reputation in the 70s and are still suffering from that. They now have big investment from Data. To that reliability end, a Toyota Corolla is always the better answer.
For a long time I have felt the F-Pace is the best looking SUV on the market and that engine sound is amazing. Would certainly consider a slightly used one for the price savings with the depreciation. Great review guys
@elumalaisarala too many problems with the Volvos, and too dull. Nothing inherently wrong with being boring, just lacks the same excitement as the SVR
I own a 2021 and l absolutely love it. My friends with Aston Martin, Porsche, Corvette's, Mercedes-Benz are blown away with how fast, how loud and just want a great driving SUV this is. I agree with them 100%.
@@karlk.6819even the Macan/Cayenne owners, they'd only be missing the low price and engine noise...otherwise the Porsche's are still a step up in driving dynamics.
E@@SomeGuysGarage Even then, the 955/957/958 generation Cayenne GTS' were some of the sweetest sounding SUVs for their time with the Naturally Aspirated 4.8L V8. Those things sound so beautiful. The newer ones with the 4.0L may sound a little mute compared to the older Cayenne GTS models, but they still sound thunderous compared to the Audi RS models and whatnot.
Had a 2017 F type R and sold it for a newer AM Vantage and deeply regretted it. Had a 911 and AMG after that and will most likely make my way back to the F Type in a few years. The earlier RWD MY will be dirt cheap. My friend has the I-Pace and really likes it. The newer Jags are really slept on.
Funny, I drove the i-Pace and an Audi etron (the SUV) back to back a few years ago. The Jag was less expensive, but VASTLY superior in driving dynamics. Like, it wasn't even close, the Audi felt like a barge by comparison. I think the i-Pace is going to be my next daily, if I don't end up with an Alpha Wolf pickup first. Going electric for a daily makes so much sense; I can save all my gas money to use in my Vanquish on the weekends. 😁
Also nobody asked for a luxury sport SUV, but Lambo, Porsche and now Jag decided this is something we want lol. I just want a z06, I'm happy with my slow 4cyl daily commuters (08 CR-V and 23 RAV4 hybrid)
@@amorgan20111Even if it’s something that you or select few others don’t want, these super performance SUVs make companies like BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, etc. solid dough in profits.
I sold a lot of these. That engine is a personal fave, and in the f-pace it’s the best value performance car on the market. I was always baffled why there weren’t more singing it’s praises, and her you guys come! Well done for finding a diamond in the rough!
I've been saying this is the most slept on performance vehicle for years. I drove one for a job years ago and I was shocked how good it was. The exhaust alone is worth the entire price of the vehicle, but it does everything else exceptionally well. I drove the RR Sport SVR from the same year as well and I still thought this one was leaps better.
I had a 2005 XJR and never had any electrical or mechanical problems except I kept having to replace the driver's side electric window winder upper thingy. It otherwise gave me nary a problem and it was soooo damn pretty. I think Jaguar just needs to say in their advertising, "We don't break down like we used to." Just allay the fears that some still have about Jaguar once and for all. Maybe throw up some statistics and consumer reports. Also they could throw BMW under the bus for giggles.
Too many people are staying away from these based on reliability reputation, but the 2013-current 5.0 Supercharged is just as, if not more, reliable than the competition. ZF 8HP is nearly bulletproof, and ancillary components / electronics on modern Jags have shown to be... well, a lot better than they were, and from my experience pretty much on par with the Germans for random oddball issues.
@@regal842 I just changed the front rotors and pads on my XJL Supercharged for less than $125. If you do it yourself it's stupidly cheap and easy. Haven't changed the rear yet, though. Gotta find out what I need to do with the EPB.
My second FPace is a SVR. My S had over 165000km. 0 issues, change oil regularly and drove it like I stole it. Good off-road as well for what it is. Fun winter vehicle
As the current owner of an SVR, I absolutely, completely love the driving experience, I have love Jaguar since I was a kid, but I’m never buying JLR again because of how much time it’s spent at the shop. The water pump. The goddamn water pump. Tons of electrical/ wiring issues. Jag dealerships being booked for months. Things with driver assist, the infotainment randomly acting up and then fixing themselves a day or two later. Again, when it works, it is sublime. I just hate taking it out on the highway worrying that something is going to randomly malfunction. Love the channel
Glad that Jaguar sound is still going strong. I feel like I remember stories about them moving to all electric, and always questioned who would spend Jag money without the soundtrack.
We had one of these. Well, it was an F pace but it had the little 2.0L diesel engine. I was SUPER impressed with how nice the chassis was. I wasnt expecting the car to be as dynamic as it was. Sadly it only had 180hp
The Jags are beautiful and this car is always breath taking when I see it. But on my side I'm done with SUVs now, still keeping a 5.5L V8 Merc for the trills and loading.
Great Video as usual. Jaguar is always my number 1 "go to" Luxury vehicle, although I cannot afford any. They always are an underdog. This new interior looks great. For fuel economy... well, if you really care about fuel economy, Jag is never a brand to consider.
I laughed way too hard at that ending 😂 I must say though, both times I’ve seen you guys drive a supercharged v8 jag, I noticed how you just couldn’t help but smile and laugh the whole time! And that’s what I love about jaguars, the way they make you feel is like nothing else! I miss mine… can’t wait to own another someday!
I have an xjl supercharged that’s not even as fast as this bc it’s a 2011 .. nothing like feeling those 485hpnat low rpm plus the bark of the jag . Absolutely feels amazing . I also drive a lexus as my daily .. even purchased an Lc which is of the best soundtracks to a car …. Still nothing like the jag !
@@abovenbeyondlimits81 I agree, nothing beats a jag! I used to have an XFR with 510 hp, I loved that engine! Huge difference from my current Mitsubishi 3000gt lol. I do love my 3k because that’s what I had as my first car, it’s beautiful and very nostalgic but doesn’t even run right now so makes me miss my jag even more! Would love another xfr/xkr in the future, or even better, an xfrs.
You know what. I’m absolutely not complaining that I’ve just watched thestraightpipes video of the EXACT same car a couple of hours ago and then coming to watch this. Class video from both as always and class bloody car
My 2017 F-Pace R-Sport over 60k miles, ZERO issues, best car I've ever owned. Have driven for 12 hours in a single day on multiple occasions, never once felt uncomfortable.
Great review guys! Purchased a custom ordered F-Pace S in 2017 which was as reliable as my Acura or Audi and more reliable than my BMW. I sold it to a friend when my custom ordered 2121 F-Pace SVR was delivered. I love the styling, performance and rarity of the SVR.
Thomas and James, I freaking love you guys! Thanks for your epic content! As a former Jaguar F-Type owner, I too had a flawless experience with my JLR ride. My wife and I also love the F-Pace and the Land Rover Velar (same cars difference skins...essentially) and they do depreciate beautifully (for those of us that don't buy new cars)...but the kicker is that warranty companies don't trust JLR products and buying an extended warranty is nearly impossible. We had decided to buy a 2018 Velar with less than 40k miles, but my wife wanted a warranty. So we had the dealer price it out...and he came back with wide eyes and said "this is not like anything I've seen before." The RETAIL price of the 3 year, 36k additional mile warranty was nearly $10k! They were willing to discount it to $6500....but the price of the car was only $32,000! Sorry, not dropping nearly a quarter of the price of the car on a warranty. Otherwise...I love JLR's cars. (Currently shopping for an F-Type SVR...)
He said the ride is the only downside. The car they tested is on 22’s remember, bigger than rivals like Porsche macan. Remember there is a 21 inch option which looks as good and therefore may make this car have 0 problems. Also this engine is reliable and if you compare this car to the GLC 63s e performance, that car has so many more things to go wrong
@@joshuathomas512 obviously not😅… German rivals although may be more reliable, they’re not exempt from having faults. Plus they said that the price is cheaper, meaning if things go wrong, it will still likely workout cheaper than the rivals, people will just have to cope with the inconvenience of visiting the jlr garage.
I'm all the way from South Africa currently writing my Matric finals and I'm stressed to bits, and a video upload from you guys is just the right "refresh" to get away from everything. 🙃
@@evcanada1451 It’s got 85,000 miles on it. Three of the outside cameras have failed and a couple sets of tires is it. Been super happy with it. Lifetime average is 23mpg which impresses me the most.
Owner of the last gen F-pace svr here... Love the thing, best SUV i have every driven and will probably evee drive.. Also fuel economy is actually very good if you don't drive it like this! I got as low as 8.1l/100k driving from King to Oakville, highway traffic and all! My work commutes hardly touch 10 and can get 9's easily. even a little fun hardly changes the consumption.
Trading in/upgrading my 2018 F-face for this badboy. Hoping to get my build date soon. Extremely underated cars and its constantly turning heads (caesium blue, black package). Its sad the way people think of jag as unreliable. Never had an issue with mine. 37k miles. Cant wait for my SVR.
great suv. Ive had a 2010 Jag XFR (very similar/same engine as this) for years now and its been a treat the entire time. Maintenance is not that bad and parts are reasonably priced if you do some digging for them. Like most cars today, these vehicles are all made with nuts, bolts, screws, and push pins which is a good thing! You can work on them yourself if you are handy at all and have a wonderful driving experience. In 40k of ownership I have replaced a fuel pump, vacuum pump gasket. Everything else has been regular maintenance.
....the difference is in quality and reliability!!! I bought my (brand new) about 10 months now, and since day 2, it has been making NOISE everywhere...internal door panel, central console, etc etc and to get worst, my ABS module failed while I was driving...fortunately no accident, but it made me wait a month until it were solved.
I’m surprised you two didn’t bring up the similarities between this and the Range Rover Sport, which also has the 5.0 V8 Supercharged. This reminds me a lot of mine -which by the way, is now broken thanks to the hydraulic sway bar (no biggie, it’s only $10,000 to fix!!!). Thanks for the everlasting entertainment guys!!!
My buddy has one with 30k its not skipped a beat and he does thrash it on the odd occasion, seriously Jaguar have really got it together with these I now know a few people that have the SVR very rarely hearing about significant problems, I thought the steering was great handling too! For such a beast one can't help but fall in love may as well go buy one before they're all gone...
I had a 2022 and got rid of it in less than 12 months. It was one of the best cars I've ever owned in terms of performance, looks, comfort, and dear God that sound. It was absolutely amazing. All except the build quality. I had 3 issues requiring it to go back to the dealership in the first 6 months. I just didn't want to live with that constant fear of what next, and will it be something that leaves me stranded. I ended up getting an X5 M50i instead. To be fair, the X5 is also larger and I would say this more compares with the X3 in terms of size, if not number of cylinders.
I have a 2016 Jaguar XF Premium 35t with the supercharged V6, my first sports car. I've only had it since February, and I have such a love hate relationship with it 😂 about 2 months ago, it had the dreaded catastrophic coolant leak that Jags are known for, and it killed the engine. That's when the hate started, haha. I did a full head rebuild on it, and I've now had it running again for about a week. And now it reminds me of why I LOVE it... It's the most incredible driving 4 door sedan I've ever been in. The steering is like it's connected to your consciousness, because it just goes where you think about. It has such wonderful power, and a great sound! So, Jaguar is one of those brands that if they can actually make sure to fix the reliability issues, a Jaguar vehicle really is something rather special.
I sold my f-type r and ordered an f-pace svr in brg for my newborn as a dad wagon, just love that AJV8. It’s been surprisingly good, interior and tech is premium German, if not better in some areas. The ride was fine for me, given it’s on steel springs, jag know how to tune a chassis on those bumpy British b roads, that they can get a 2T suv to ride better than a German sports sedan is impressive, but that was in isolation - picked up a new Grecale trofeo for my wife and that on air rides noticeably smoother and handles flatter, it has none of that secondary roll you get in some German SUV’s on air and every RR product. I have an rs6 performance coming next year to replace the svr but these videos make me question keeping it - I’m going to have to remove the opf and tune it to get it to sound right
Wife has the 2020 version of this. 44k trouble free miles so far aside from a 360 camera issue on delivery. Brakes needed to be replaced at 35k miles, expensive as rotors needed to be replaced as well. One of my all time favorite cars.
I had a 2021 X6, then got a 2023 F-Type in June 2022. Then discovered the F-Pace SVR videos on YT - and had to have one! Ordered fall 2022 and delivered to me May 2023. Love it and exceeds expectations - especially on the highway. It's an SUV version of the F-Type, with better infotainment from Pivi Pro. F-Type is sunny day garage queen (so always sparkling clean) and my favorite vehicle ever. F-Pace is rainy day ride and/or hauler for items that dont fit in F-Type. Highly recommend both - especially F-Pace over the German options.
It's nuts that JLR is still plagued with the stigma of its past as unreliable rust buckets. The modern JLR is no worse than the German equivalent for reliability, and even better in some aspects.
Completely agree - I own 3 JLR products - all rock solid - 2 2023/2024 BMWs - M4 Compétition and an i7 - both had issues on delivery. I have never had an issue with any of my JLR products (2 Range Rovers, Ftype, Project 8, Defender)
I went a few months back to trade in my 2020 F-Type and pick up a 2023 F-Pace SVR...I ended up leaving with a 2023 F-Type R instead. But man do I keep looking back at this SUV, they're great in so many ways
I need to test drive one of these some day. I hear even the supercharged V6 F-Pace is quite good but yeah, this SVR is an angry, snarling beast so thanks for giving it some screen time.
Having the V6 supercharged I can assure you that this is the absolute sweet spot (great sound and acceleration)! The car is so good and fun I wouldnt even know what to ever replace it with…it’s reeeeally hard to find anything to complain about except that the sportiness comes at the price of a slight harsh ride for an SUV - but then again, it is astonishing how light an confident this drives around corners. Also, the cargo space is huge compared to the competition.
The reason no one buys this Jag or the Maserati or any of the other sporty SUVs is because auto journalists have ruined the marketplace. You guys are one of the few journalists who are willing to make videos of these "outlier" products, but magazine comparison after magazine comparison, and video shootout after shootout and the only luxury vehicles ever talked about are the Germans. They'll be 10 videos for an Audi, BMW or MB for every 1 video for any of these other products. It's ridiculous. I love you guys and love that you are one of the few outlets who haven't completely sold out to the German brands and you're willing to make videos of these other products.
Gentlemen. Yes absolutely! Stunning! Has been around for a while, the face lift has just elevated the Jaguar. It is 'under the radar'. The Range Rover SVR is the usual choice between the two. Beats the Lambo into a cocked hat! And yes better than most of the German rivals. [Not sure if the Jaguar salesman would agree, but buy a pre-owned face lifted version and you have a future classic. Amazing piece of kit! About to be 'killed off'. Thank you for a true review.
They seem to be making some of the most underrated vehicles. On the plus side, that means can pick up used Jaguars for a small fraction of what they cost new. I picked up a used F-Type and have really enjoyed it. It was the most car I could find for the money.
Great video as always, just recently reviewed a D200 model and the interior alone makes it an occasion over the earlier car. I can only imagine what the SVR is like to drive. Yes there is a catch and that's because the F-Pace is smaller than the X5 and Levante and is sized closer to the X3 and Grecale.
Yes, it is a JLR so of course it's gonna be off the road/on the side of the road more often than other cars, but when they are on the road they're wonderful
What a load of bollocks. Had my F pace Svr for a year now. No problems whatsoever. I have owned many supercars and sports cars including, Porsche, Maserati, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mclaren, BMW and Mercedes etc. performance beats many of this in a 5 seater practical car. Does everything. Up there with my most favourite cars I’ve ever owned.Just because the odd one has a problem 98% will be fine. All other top Marquee cars also have problems some more than others. Jaguar bad reliability is hopefully a thing now of the past.
I own a 2023 C8 Z51 loaded yet had to buy a new loaoded 2022 Jaguar Ftype SVR and it is a beast with 550hp AWD. That exhaust note is a beast. The ride is a blast and have blown the competition off the road. I get more was inspiring loos in my white SVR then I do in my C8. Love it that I had to buy it new because I’m keeping it regardless of JLR reliability. What a blast to 4drive.
It has always looked so good and that interior is now not a deal breaker at all. Didn't know the value prop was this good, guess everyone just forgot about Jag since Range Rover is doing so well.
Thomas, I bought a lightly used certified 19’ S with the 3.0 Supercharged V6. It was an amazing SUV for the money with so much character versus the competition. An amazing buy!
i’ve owned audi’s and vw’s since 2011. bought a supercharged XE and i’m never looking back. although i do love the quality of my audi’s over my jag, the jags are so few & far between and i prefer exclusivity over hype.
Not sure if it's the same globally but in the UK the 2025 model year has just been bumped to 575PS... no idea why as it didn't need it but I'm glad they did!
Thomas!!!! Love the t-shirt my man. I agree, that is a fab car and I’m trying to get my hands on one but very limited inventory. Plus this is the LAST year for it, ‘24 is the last year then DONE forever!!!!
I 100% agree with Thomas in saying that the world is sleeping on the F-Pace SVR. Other than the Ferrari Purosangue which is roughly $301,450 more than the F-Pace SVR MSRP, are perhaps the two most special performance SUVs when it comes to what's underneath the hood. We also can't forget about the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat as well. In a world where almost all of the ICE performance SUVs are 4.0 or 4.4L twin-turbo V8s, we have a 5.0L supercharged V8 in the SVR, 6.2L supercharged V8 in the Durango SRT Hellcat, and a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 in the Purosangue. While German super SUVs and the Lamborghini Urus are all cool in their own right, none of them really have the sense of occasion when you hear the sound that comes out of either that supercharged V8 in the Jag and Dodge or that naturally aspirated V12 in the Ferrari. It just isn't even close.
Everyone isn't buying these because JLRs inventory and advertising in the U.S. is abysmal. I've owned Jags for years, have never had mechanical issues and love them, especially the V8s. Still have a 2007 XK V8 that sounds great, looks great, drives great and has had zero mechanical issues. Jag V8s are one of the best sounding exhausts out there. The 2022-2024 are much quieter than 2021 and previous SVRs. My 2020 shook the house when it started. I was disappointed in how much they dampened the sound in the last few years, but regardless, trying to find an SVR this past year has been extremely difficult. The one thing I disagree with you guys on is the new interior. I personally hate this shift to these "stuck on" infotainment screens and think they look cheap. It's nearly $100,000 vehicle...integrate it into the dash like it used to be. It looked so much more polished. Aside from that, these SVRs are a blast and one of the sharpest looking on the road.
I woke at JLR, theirs no catch and that’s what I love these new F-Paces get looked over and I don’t get why, it’s an amazing looking car and for the price you can’t beat it at all, the new PIVI system on our brand has been amazing and compare to the old system it’s day and night difference.
I love the way Jaguars look, I even thought of buying one but when I look up the reliability on the car list, the name just ends up at the bottom of the list. I ended up with a Benz and have been very happy with my car now that I have reached 120K it and bought it new.
I owned one for 6 months and it spent 4 months broken in the dealership, constant issues with the steering rack!!!! On the days it work it was without doubt most fun car Ive ever owned
I bought this car (exact the same spec) 2 years ago. After 60.000km I still love it. My ftype R has 140.000 . Both 0 issues after many years of pleasure. no garage queens here
Jaguar is such an underrated brand. My 2011 XJL Supercharged is honestly one of the best cars I've ever owned.

I’m a JLR service advisor and the new SVRs are really nice. They sound freaking phenomenal in person and they drive very well.
As a service advisor…. can you elaborate on reliability for the newer models? Cuz the previous stuff truly has been garbage.
@@beri232 So they generally have gotten better but all engines across the JLR lineup still have their issues.
The 4 cylinders are plagued with coolant leaks from the turbo feed lines. They also stretch timing chains and destroy camshaft sprockets. You’ll get a nasty timing chain rattle on cold starts and when they’re really bad it’ll do it on every start.
It’s not consistent, some will be dead reliable and some are just pieces of shit.
The supercharged V6s and V8s (same engine in the 24’ SVR by the way this is the last model to use this engine as it has been in service since 2010) are plagued with coolant issues…BAD..
They mainly leak from the water pumps, outlet pipes and rear coolant manifold pipes, you have to remove the supercharger to access them so it is expensive to do. It’s not a matter of if it will fail it’s WHEN it will fail. Other than that they honestly aren’t bad engines. The superchargers start to get noisy when high miles but I rarely see catastrophic failures with all of the engines across the board. The V6s and V8s will come in blown up because they’ve leaked coolant for so long that they overheat and cook head gaskets but again it’s rare.
They still have infotainment glitches across all JLR models that’s something that won’t change.
Boy that was long winded, that being said I would still happily own any SVR preferably the older ones because they sound the best.
@@beri232so wish he had responded to that. The lack of feedback just perpetuates the perception of unreliability whether it has or hasn't improved.

I have an F-Type R. Thing is brilliant and way way underrated/overlooked. I think and hope people are waking up to the fact that these things are real contenders.
Me too, a 2022 model, 575hp 700nm, great car and owned it for 6 months and not seen another one on the road. When circumstances change definitely will be looking at F Pace SVR as it was on the list when I got the F Type R. The model i was looking at was the 1988 edition so I think it has a few extras included.
There are quite a few F-Type Rs around where I live, most of them convertibles. The joke is that they’ve become the de facto midlife crisis car here.
@@Flat_6 oh I have seen the V6 previous gen/pre facelift but never seen the SVR/R with current facelift. Around here people actually comment on it all the time
I think Jaguar is overlooked because of the whole JLR-unreliable thing. (Imo) I don’t think it’s because of the price.
I was considering an F-Type svr, they are cheap, but I was disappointed by general performances (the 550hp svr is barely quicker than a 420hp 2018 911 4s), huge weight, and bad 55/45 weight distribution.
Massively underrated I have had two, third arrived last week, 80.000 miles with absolutely no reliability issues, my colleague has Lamborghini and whenever he leaves the office takes my Jaguar
I love when a car exceeds expectations. Such a fun video
I’ve had one for two years now. Puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Fuel economy is surprisingly good if you’re nice to it. Other than the transfer case output shaft bearing crapping the bed and being down for two months we love it. Lease is up next year and we’re buying it out; adding the extended warranty of course!
Nice ! Looking fwd to buy one
How much is your lease payment?
Bought one in April and love it. It's the best performance SUV you can buy in that price range.
How’s the reliability?
I've driven it now more than 24K km and haven't had any major issues outside of Apple Carplay getting hung up on few occasions. Restarting the car fixed it. Outside of that, there is a strange wind noise coming in through the driver door at +180kph. The dealer tried correcting it when I had the car in for an oil change, but to no avail. Again, it's not unbearable and only happens at high speeds. I think its caused by a defective window seal.
I own a 2022 F-Pace SVR (essentially the same car as this) in Canada and it is bloody brilliant. The ride is a little harsh in town, the brakes are a bit over-grabby but that's nothing against the sound, the look and the drive. If you look beyond the german brand snobbism, this is a very good deal.
Do you have the 21 or 22 inch wheels?
@@Countspankulot 22 inch
And yet bmw is top 5 most reliable... where is jaguar on that list ?
@@Countspankulot 22 inch. I did not spec the car but I guess almost all are on 22 inch wheels.
@@JaySinead12 You tell me but maybe better than you think. Jaguar earned such a bad reputation in the 70s and are still suffering from that. They now have big investment from Data. To that reliability end, a Toyota Corolla is always the better answer.
For a long time I have felt the F-Pace is the best looking SUV on the market and that engine sound is amazing. Would certainly consider a slightly used one for the price savings with the depreciation. Great review guys
what about the volvo SUVs
@elumalaisarala too many problems with the Volvos, and too dull. Nothing inherently wrong with being boring, just lacks the same excitement as the SVR
Stelvio.
I'd say velar and audi e tron look better
Audi suvs are the most beautiful
I have the 2021 SVR and after nearly 3 years a grin widely every time I hit to accelerator. Love it and cannot sing its praises enough.
I own a 2021 and l absolutely love it. My friends with Aston Martin, Porsche, Corvette's, Mercedes-Benz are blown away with how fast, how loud and just want a great driving SUV this is. I agree with them 100%.
I assume your porsche friends don't have a 911 produced after 2017 then
I’m guessing you’ll be returning your lease before it starts costing you $$$
The only thing great about the car is the speed and sound. The handling is worst in class
@@karlk.6819even the Macan/Cayenne owners, they'd only be missing the low price and engine noise...otherwise the Porsche's are still a step up in driving dynamics.
E@@SomeGuysGarage Even then, the 955/957/958 generation Cayenne GTS' were some of the sweetest sounding SUVs for their time with the Naturally Aspirated 4.8L V8. Those things sound so beautiful. The newer ones with the 4.0L may sound a little mute compared to the older Cayenne GTS models, but they still sound thunderous compared to the Audi RS models and whatnot.
The only SUV I’d ever buy. I love recent Jags, F-Type is my dream car right now!
Had a 2017 F type R and sold it for a newer AM Vantage and deeply regretted it. Had a 911 and AMG after that and will most likely make my way back to the F Type in a few years. The earlier RWD MY will be dirt cheap. My friend has the I-Pace and really likes it. The newer Jags are really slept on.
2024 is going to be the last year for F-type and F-pace
Funny, I drove the i-Pace and an Audi etron (the SUV) back to back a few years ago. The Jag was less expensive, but VASTLY superior in driving dynamics. Like, it wasn't even close, the Audi felt like a barge by comparison. I think the i-Pace is going to be my next daily, if I don't end up with an Alpha Wolf pickup first.
Going electric for a daily makes so much sense; I can save all my gas money to use in my Vanquish on the weekends. 😁
They’re slept on but I think alot of it is that Jaguar to most non car people makes them think of the elderly
The best sounding SUV on the market right now
Abosultley for factory is insane. I don't know if the purosangue with an exuast would sound better but holy moly this car is underrated
@@0WhyNot3 Purosangue likely sounds better, but it’s also so incredibly rare and expensive it’s hard to even include it

@@amorgan20111Even if it’s something that you or select few others don’t want, these super performance SUVs make companies like BMW, Porsche, Ferrari, etc. solid dough in profits.
I sold a lot of these. That engine is a personal fave, and in the f-pace it’s the best value performance car on the market.
I was always baffled why there weren’t more singing it’s praises, and her you guys come! Well done for finding a diamond in the rough!
Jaguar is soooo underrated. Absolute stunners. Gorgeous.
I've been saying this is the most slept on performance vehicle for years. I drove one for a job years ago and I was shocked how good it was. The exhaust alone is worth the entire price of the vehicle, but it does everything else exceptionally well. I drove the RR Sport SVR from the same year as well and I still thought this one was leaps better.
I had a 2005 XJR and never had any electrical or mechanical problems except I kept having to replace the driver's side electric window winder upper thingy. It otherwise gave me nary a problem and it was soooo damn pretty.
I think Jaguar just needs to say in their advertising, "We don't break down like we used to."
Just allay the fears that some still have about Jaguar once and for all. Maybe throw up some statistics and consumer reports. Also they could throw BMW under the bus for giggles.
This is exactly why I bought the Velar SVA. Same 5.0 motor, air suspension, rear wheel steer, exhaust that screams. One of the best cars I’ve owned
Too many people are staying away from these based on reliability reputation, but the 2013-current 5.0 Supercharged is just as, if not more, reliable than the competition. ZF 8HP is nearly bulletproof, and ancillary components / electronics on modern Jags have shown to be... well, a lot better than they were, and from my experience pretty much on par with the Germans for random oddball issues.
The real problem is the insanely expensive brake jobs
@@regal842 I just changed the front rotors and pads on my XJL Supercharged for less than $125. If you do it yourself it's stupidly cheap and easy.
Haven't changed the rear yet, though. Gotta find out what I need to do with the EPB.

i believe you that you drive like if you stole it 😂😂😂 even your nickname's screaming for yourself on driving 😂😂😂
@@4gegtyreeyuyeddffvyt yes.
As the current owner of an SVR, I absolutely, completely love the driving experience, I have love Jaguar since I was a kid, but I’m never buying JLR again because of how much time it’s spent at the shop. The water pump. The goddamn water pump. Tons of electrical/ wiring issues. Jag dealerships being booked for months. Things with driver assist, the infotainment randomly acting up and then fixing themselves a day or two later.
Again, when it works, it is sublime. I just hate taking it out on the highway worrying that something is going to randomly malfunction.
Love the channel
Glad that Jaguar sound is still going strong. I feel like I remember stories about them moving to all electric, and always questioned who would spend Jag money without the soundtrack.
We had one of these. Well, it was an F pace but it had the little 2.0L diesel engine.
I was SUPER impressed with how nice the chassis was. I wasnt expecting the car to be as dynamic as it was. Sadly it only had 180hp
The Jags are beautiful and this car is always breath taking when I see it. But on my side I'm done with SUVs now, still keeping a 5.5L V8 Merc for the trills and loading.
Let me guess, a W212 E63 facelift? or an E550? or anything older?
Great Video as usual.
Jaguar is always my number 1 "go to" Luxury vehicle, although I cannot afford any. They always are an underdog. This new interior looks great. For fuel economy... well, if you really care about fuel economy, Jag is never a brand to consider.
Those cannon fire upshifts are sublime 👌
I laughed way too hard at that ending 😂 I must say though, both times I’ve seen you guys drive a supercharged v8 jag, I noticed how you just couldn’t help but smile and laugh the whole time! And that’s what I love about jaguars, the way they make you feel is like nothing else! I miss mine… can’t wait to own another someday!
I have an xjl supercharged that’s not even as fast as this bc it’s a 2011 .. nothing like feeling those 485hpnat low rpm plus the bark of the jag . Absolutely feels amazing . I also drive a lexus as my daily .. even purchased an Lc which is of the best soundtracks to a car …. Still nothing like the jag !
@@abovenbeyondlimits81 I agree, nothing beats a jag! I used to have an XFR with 510 hp, I loved that engine! Huge difference from my current Mitsubishi 3000gt lol. I do love my 3k because that’s what I had as my first car, it’s beautiful and very nostalgic but doesn’t even run right now so makes me miss my jag even more! Would love another xfr/xkr in the future, or even better, an xfrs.

My 2017 F-Pace R-Sport over 60k miles, ZERO issues, best car I've ever owned. Have driven for 12 hours in a single day on multiple occasions, never once felt uncomfortable.
Great review guys!
Purchased a custom ordered F-Pace S in 2017 which was as reliable as my Acura or Audi and more reliable than my BMW.
I sold it to a friend when my custom ordered 2121 F-Pace SVR was delivered.
I love the styling, performance and rarity of the SVR.
The supercharged AJ V8 is one the few mega V8's I wouldn't be afraid of buying. Its been proven as pretty solid in terms of reliability.
The proportions with the wheels are spot on
This thing is amazing!! I've honestly never watched a review of one and can't recall ever seeing one on the road. Thanks for informing me! 👍👍
Thomas and James, I freaking love you guys! Thanks for your epic content! As a former Jaguar F-Type owner, I too had a flawless experience with my JLR ride. My wife and I also love the F-Pace and the Land Rover Velar (same cars difference skins...essentially) and they do depreciate beautifully (for those of us that don't buy new cars)...but the kicker is that warranty companies don't trust JLR products and buying an extended warranty is nearly impossible. We had decided to buy a 2018 Velar with less than 40k miles, but my wife wanted a warranty. So we had the dealer price it out...and he came back with wide eyes and said "this is not like anything I've seen before." The RETAIL price of the 3 year, 36k additional mile warranty was nearly $10k! They were willing to discount it to $6500....but the price of the car was only $32,000! Sorry, not dropping nearly a quarter of the price of the car on a warranty.
Otherwise...I love JLR's cars. (Currently shopping for an F-Type SVR...)
He said the ride is the only downside. The car they tested is on 22’s remember, bigger than rivals like Porsche macan. Remember there is a 21 inch option which looks as good and therefore may make this car have 0 problems. Also this engine is reliable and if you compare this car to the GLC 63s e performance, that car has so many more things to go wrong
U think 21s will fix all the mechanical issues? 🤣🤣
@@joshuathomas512 obviously not😅… German rivals although may be more reliable, they’re not exempt from having faults. Plus they said that the price is cheaper, meaning if things go wrong, it will still likely workout cheaper than the rivals, people will just have to cope with the inconvenience of visiting the jlr garage.
All SVRs I have seen on the internet run the 22“s though. Would be interesting to sample the 21“s.
@@Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj completely delusional, sounds like u have no experience with them

I have a 20SVR as well. It's been great save a wheel bearing. They do have some rattles.
Love my 2019. An absolute pleasure to drive.
Owner of the last gen F-pace svr here... Love the thing, best SUV i have every driven and will probably evee drive.. Also fuel economy is actually very good if you don't drive it like this! I got as low as 8.1l/100k driving from King to Oakville, highway traffic and all! My work commutes hardly touch 10 and can get 9's easily. even a little fun hardly changes the consumption.
I have a V6 supercharged and hardly ever make it below 10 (lots of short distance commuting though and leaving somewhat on a hill). Amazing car!
i cant get enough extra throttle house. the largely unscripted videos are golden. thank you guys. keep it up love ya.
Trading in/upgrading my 2018 F-face for this badboy. Hoping to get my build date soon. Extremely underated cars and its constantly turning heads (caesium blue, black package). Its sad the way people think of jag as unreliable. Never had an issue with mine. 37k miles. Cant wait for my SVR.
Absolutely agree with you guys! One of the best my experiences in SUV ever. Amazing car!
I’ve been waiting for this review from you guys for two years! Thank you for finally coming through with your usual greatness on a car I just love 🙏🏿
great suv. Ive had a 2010 Jag XFR (very similar/same engine as this) for years now and its been a treat the entire time. Maintenance is not that bad and parts are reasonably priced if you do some digging for them. Like most cars today, these vehicles are all made with nuts, bolts, screws, and push pins which is a good thing! You can work on them yourself if you are handy at all and have a wonderful driving experience. In 40k of ownership I have replaced a fuel pump, vacuum pump gasket. Everything else has been regular maintenance.
....the difference is in quality and reliability!!! I bought my (brand new) about 10 months now, and since day 2, it has been making NOISE everywhere...internal door panel, central console, etc etc and to get worst, my ABS module failed while I was driving...fortunately no accident, but it made me wait a month until it were solved.
So much better than TheStraightPipes review. Great job guys!
I love this channel, please do more videos here!
The casual style is very nice.
I’m surprised you two didn’t bring up the similarities between this and the Range Rover Sport, which also has the 5.0 V8 Supercharged. This reminds me a lot of mine -which by the way, is now broken thanks to the hydraulic sway bar (no biggie, it’s only $10,000 to fix!!!). Thanks for the everlasting entertainment guys!!!
That ending was genuinely funny y’all rule
I get 15mpg on my 2020 and I fully send it daily. At 25k miles I replaced the squeaky breaks but otherwise no issues.
My buddy has one with 30k its not skipped a beat and he does thrash it on the odd occasion, seriously Jaguar have really got it together with these I now know a few people that have the SVR very rarely hearing about significant problems, I thought the steering was great handling too! For such a beast one can't help but fall in love may as well go buy one before they're all gone...
I had a 2022 and got rid of it in less than 12 months. It was one of the best cars I've ever owned in terms of performance, looks, comfort, and dear God that sound. It was absolutely amazing. All except the build quality. I had 3 issues requiring it to go back to the dealership in the first 6 months. I just didn't want to live with that constant fear of what next, and will it be something that leaves me stranded. I ended up getting an X5 M50i instead. To be fair, the X5 is also larger and I would say this more compares with the X3 in terms of size, if not number of cylinders.
Overall which one is a better choice? X5m60i, or f-pace svr?
I have a 2016 Jaguar XF Premium 35t with the supercharged V6, my first sports car. I've only had it since February, and I have such a love hate relationship with it 😂 about 2 months ago, it had the dreaded catastrophic coolant leak that Jags are known for, and it killed the engine. That's when the hate started, haha.
I did a full head rebuild on it, and I've now had it running again for about a week. And now it reminds me of why I LOVE it... It's the most incredible driving 4 door sedan I've ever been in. The steering is like it's connected to your consciousness, because it just goes where you think about. It has such wonderful power, and a great sound! So, Jaguar is one of those brands that if they can actually make sure to fix the reliability issues, a Jaguar vehicle really is something rather special.
I sold my f-type r and ordered an f-pace svr in brg for my newborn as a dad wagon, just love that AJV8. It’s been surprisingly good, interior and tech is premium German, if not better in some areas. The ride was fine for me, given it’s on steel springs, jag know how to tune a chassis on those bumpy British b roads, that they can get a 2T suv to ride better than a German sports sedan is impressive, but that was in isolation - picked up a new Grecale trofeo for my wife and that on air rides noticeably smoother and handles flatter, it has none of that secondary roll you get in some German SUV’s on air and every RR product. I have an rs6 performance coming next year to replace the svr but these videos make me question keeping it - I’m going to have to remove the opf and tune it to get it to sound right
I reviewed it this year too and it's one of my favourite cars of all time.
I have the p400 and I have fun driving it around I can only imagine how much more fun the svr is, it was just out of my price range
Loved your review. It convinced me to test drive the F-Pace SVR and I absolutely loved it. Just bought one and every drive has me grinning ear to ear!
Wife has the 2020 version of this. 44k trouble free miles so far aside from a 360 camera issue on delivery. Brakes needed to be replaced at 35k miles, expensive as rotors needed to be replaced as well. One of my all time favorite cars.
I have a 22 svr fpace 35k miles. Not a single issue. Runs like a bastard. Destroys almost everything I go against.
I had a 2021 X6, then got a 2023 F-Type in June 2022. Then discovered the F-Pace SVR videos on YT - and had to have one! Ordered fall 2022 and delivered to me May 2023. Love it and exceeds expectations - especially on the highway. It's an SUV version of the F-Type, with better infotainment from Pivi Pro.
F-Type is sunny day garage queen (so always sparkling clean) and my favorite vehicle ever. F-Pace is rainy day ride and/or hauler for items that dont fit in F-Type. Highly recommend both - especially F-Pace over the German options.
Eagerly awaiting a full Extra Throttle House review of James' NEW MX-5, post modifications! C'mon, James!!!
It's nuts that JLR is still plagued with the stigma of its past as unreliable rust buckets. The modern JLR is no worse than the German equivalent for reliability, and even better in some aspects.
Completely agree - I own 3 JLR products - all rock solid - 2 2023/2024 BMWs - M4 Compétition and an i7 - both had issues on delivery. I have never had an issue with any of my JLR products (2 Range Rovers, Ftype, Project 8, Defender)
No worse than others isn't the same as "good"
@@R03333but if it’s the standard, it’s not bad either😂
I went a few months back to trade in my 2020 F-Type and pick up a 2023 F-Pace SVR...I ended up leaving with a 2023 F-Type R instead. But man do I keep looking back at this SUV, they're great in so many ways
I need to test drive one of these some day. I hear even the supercharged V6 F-Pace is quite good but yeah, this SVR is an angry, snarling beast so thanks for giving it some screen time.
Having the V6 supercharged I can assure you that this is the absolute sweet spot (great sound and acceleration)! The car is so good and fun I wouldnt even know what to ever replace it with…it’s reeeeally hard to find anything to complain about except that the sportiness comes at the price of a slight harsh ride for an SUV - but then again, it is astonishing how light an confident this drives around corners. Also, the cargo space is huge compared to the competition.
The reason no one buys this Jag or the Maserati or any of the other sporty SUVs is because auto journalists have ruined the marketplace. You guys are one of the few journalists who are willing to make videos of these "outlier" products, but magazine comparison after magazine comparison, and video shootout after shootout and the only luxury vehicles ever talked about are the Germans. They'll be 10 videos for an Audi, BMW or MB for every 1 video for any of these other products. It's ridiculous. I love you guys and love that you are one of the few outlets who haven't completely sold out to the German brands and you're willing to make videos of these other products.
Gentlemen. Yes absolutely! Stunning! Has been around for a while, the face lift has just elevated the Jaguar. It is 'under the radar'. The Range Rover SVR is the usual choice between the two. Beats the Lambo into a cocked hat! And yes better than most of the German rivals. [Not sure if the Jaguar salesman would agree, but buy a pre-owned face lifted version and you have a future classic. Amazing piece of kit! About to be 'killed off'. Thank you for a true review.
They seem to be making some of the most underrated vehicles. On the plus side, that means can pick up used Jaguars for a small fraction of what they cost new. I picked up a used F-Type and have really enjoyed it. It was the most car I could find for the money.
Great video as always, just recently reviewed a D200 model and the interior alone makes it an occasion over the earlier car. I can only imagine what the SVR is like to drive.
Yes there is a catch and that's because the F-Pace is smaller than the X5 and Levante and is sized closer to the X3 and Grecale.
Yes, it is a JLR so of course it's gonna be off the road/on the side of the road more often than other cars, but when they are on the road they're wonderful
I truly don’t understand mindsets like this when shelling out 6 figures on a brand new auto.
What a load of bollocks. Had my F pace Svr for a year now. No problems whatsoever. I have owned many supercars and sports cars including, Porsche, Maserati, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mclaren, BMW and Mercedes etc. performance beats many of this in a 5 seater practical car. Does everything. Up there with my most favourite cars I’ve ever owned.Just because the odd one has a problem 98% will be fine. All other top Marquee cars also have problems some more than others. Jaguar bad reliability is hopefully a thing now of the past.
I own a 2023 C8 Z51 loaded yet had to buy a new loaoded 2022 Jaguar Ftype SVR and it is a beast with 550hp AWD. That exhaust note is a beast. The ride is a blast and have blown the competition off the road. I get more was inspiring loos in my white SVR then I do in my C8. Love it that I had to buy it new because I’m keeping it regardless of JLR reliability. What a blast to 4drive.
Love you guys - content gets better, never stop
My Dad bought a Similar F-Pace f250 But i am telling you no joke as I opened the door, the whole handle discombobulated itself. IT was BRAND NEW!
My brother got the 2021 F-Pace, its dont got a V8 but its is the best suv I have ever been in
The Jaguar AJ V8 is a tried and true powerplant with pretty good reliability. I'd trust it a lot more than any other hyper V8 on the market.
I’d really would buy this over its german rivals. F-Pace SVR is soo damn pretty, stylish inside and outside. Not mentioning this wild noise… ❤
It has always looked so good and that interior is now not a deal breaker at all. Didn't know the value prop was this good, guess everyone just forgot about Jag since Range Rover is doing so well.
Thomas, I bought a lightly used certified 19’ S with the 3.0 Supercharged V6. It was an amazing SUV for the money with so much character versus the competition. An amazing buy!
i’ve owned audi’s and vw’s since 2011. bought a supercharged XE and i’m never looking back. although i do love the quality of my audi’s over my jag, the jags are so few & far between and i prefer exclusivity over hype.
Own this in a 2023
Absolutely love it. ❤
Interior, styling, V8 🤤
I went on a track day at Jaguar & drove one of these. I fell in love that day.
I am not an SUV or truck guy but of them this is my favorite.
Great video. Funny thing you guys mentioned, I had the previous Fpace SVR, LOVED IT. Now I have a Rav4 Prime 😅😂 and I'm looking to add a Ftype R 😂
Not sure if it's the same globally but in the UK the 2025 model year has just been bumped to 575PS... no idea why as it didn't need it but I'm glad they did!
2025 ?
I'm sure that has always been the power output from the beginning.
@@damilolaakanni Definetely not. In US and Canada they got 550hp, I think the 575hp is UK only or Europe only
@@damilolaakanniit's the same engine as the range Rover sport svr from a few years ago with 550hp

Thomas!!!! Love the t-shirt my man. I agree, that is a fab car and I’m trying to get my hands on one but very limited inventory. Plus this is the LAST year for it, ‘24 is the last year then DONE forever!!!!
I 100% agree with Thomas in saying that the world is sleeping on the F-Pace SVR. Other than the Ferrari Purosangue which is roughly $301,450 more than the F-Pace SVR MSRP, are perhaps the two most special performance SUVs when it comes to what's underneath the hood. We also can't forget about the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat as well.
In a world where almost all of the ICE performance SUVs are 4.0 or 4.4L twin-turbo V8s, we have a 5.0L supercharged V8 in the SVR, 6.2L supercharged V8 in the Durango SRT Hellcat, and a 6.5L naturally aspirated V12 in the Purosangue. While German super SUVs and the Lamborghini Urus are all cool in their own right, none of them really have the sense of occasion when you hear the sound that comes out of either that supercharged V8 in the Jag and Dodge or that naturally aspirated V12 in the Ferrari. It just isn't even close.
About time! Glad you finally did a review for the SVR.
Everyone isn't buying these because JLRs inventory and advertising in the U.S. is abysmal. I've owned Jags for years, have never had mechanical issues and love them, especially the V8s. Still have a 2007 XK V8 that sounds great, looks great, drives great and has had zero mechanical issues. Jag V8s are one of the best sounding exhausts out there. The 2022-2024 are much quieter than 2021 and previous SVRs. My 2020 shook the house when it started. I was disappointed in how much they dampened the sound in the last few years, but regardless, trying to find an SVR this past year has been extremely difficult. The one thing I disagree with you guys on is the new interior. I personally hate this shift to these "stuck on" infotainment screens and think they look cheap. It's nearly $100,000 vehicle...integrate it into the dash like it used to be. It looked so much more polished. Aside from that, these SVRs are a blast and one of the sharpest looking on the road.
This was fun!! Thanks guys, that may be the best looking SUV, beautiful and brutish at the same time!
Hands down the best looking, best sounding SUV on the market. I don't even know what would come in 2nd behind it.
Im started to get anxious between ThrottleHouse videos, thanks for this appetizer while I wait.
I have a 2022 and it does everything well and knock on wood...no repair issues
that sound is like 10x better in person trust
I woke at JLR, theirs no catch and that’s what I love these new F-Paces get looked over and I don’t get why, it’s an amazing looking car and for the price you can’t beat it at all, the new PIVI system on our brand has been amazing and compare to the old system it’s day and night difference.
I worked on 1 of them that had after market tailpipes and straight through exhaust. Pair them up with that engine and wow it sounded amazing
I have an f type v6s, awesome fun car. Every drive is special.
I love the way Jaguars look, I even thought of buying one but when I look up the reliability on the car list, the name just ends up at the bottom of the list. I ended up with a Benz and have been very happy with my car now that I have reached 120K it and bought it new.
I owned one for 6 months and it spent 4 months broken in the dealership, constant issues with the steering rack!!!!
On the days it work it was without doubt most fun car Ive ever owned
