As a former F-Type R owner I would take that over the R8. Had zero issues with mine over the years and I think it has alot more character than the R8. It is also a much better daily driver but if its going to be your weekend car the R8 is definetley not a bad option.
If it was an F type coupe R (with the full 550bhp) I’d definitely be keeping that as the coupe is so sexy. However I don’t like the look of the convertible so I would keep the R8.
Not even close for me. R8.....the Jag is a nice car but no where near as special as the Audi...Im sure you knows this in your heart TBH. plus you're not 60 !
I think it has to come down to how much you use them. If you need a daily or long range cruiser, has to be the Jag. If you use it as a weekend toy, and just use it for a blast, the R8. I couldn't choose without lots of internal debate, but I'd have to go with the one that best suits how I use a car. Good luck 👍
I never considered a 2 seater until I saw the FType. The FType takes on different personalities depending on how you configure it. This blue one is unique and is a keeper. My British Racing Green is arriving 10/18
To me the R8 is just so much more special. If you can afford to keep it running well it seems like the obvious choice. It's a supercar, the gated manual with the mid mounted V8 that you can see in your rear view mirror is amazing and you'd have to spend double the money to get that experience anywhere else. The jag makes more sense if you're doing tons of mileage, but it's just so much less interesting. If it were me I'd keep the R8 and pick up a convertible again when I had the money. There are a lot of front engine/RWD roadsters out there, I bet you could get a similar experience for less money. EDIT: Oh and congrats on the house!
Really I think the only reason to keep the R8 is if you really are sure you want a manual. I don’t think it has anything else on the f type. Sounds and looks can be argued either way but it’s slower, less reliable, has worse tech and I’d guess less comfortable. So brain says F type but follow your heart. Keep which you want most. Which you’re most happy with and look back at when you get out etc. i would sell the R8 but like you mention it’s not my or anyone else’s car so yeah pick whichever you love most
Hi Ben I saw you at Collecting Cars today at Bicester Heritage .I wanted to come over and say hi but you were surrounded by people . My name is Trevor and I’ve been a Sub for a few years and loved the Boxster and now R8 series. Anyway maybe next time I will make more effort to say hi . Keep up the good work on the channel mate 👍
Sell both and get a combination of the two which is a Firesand Orange AWD Jaguar F-Type SVR Coupe! 😁👍 575hp, much sharper handling, mega V8 noise and also a great GT car!
I am keeping my r8 because it’s easier to fine another f type than a gated r8 soon you won’t fine them and it will go up in price because they don’t make them with manual anymore 😢
I think AUDI R8 is way way better...it's sound ...it's power...it's manual Gearbox and it's looks and being able to see that stunning engine is incredible 😍
Such a tough choice ! I had the make the same and with the car being my daily…. I think you know which one I went with . The R8 is nice but the interior is definitely dated and quite frankly, the R8 would need some work due to its age
Both are fantastic. Keep the Audi…..looks that bit more special. I also think jags are for older people, bit like mercs! May be a bit controversial….but I am a bit older😂
Very difficult decision. If it was v10....I would definitely recommend the r8....im not a convertible person and the gated Transmission made me lean to the r8. That is a serious dilemma lol... which sold 1st? Betting r8
Hi Ben, great video. I'm in a similar predicament, I've got a 60's mustang and a 80's 911. one needs to go as i want to go for a V8 R8 also, its hard to make a decision!
As someone who hopes to own multiple cars in the future, can I ask how you do your insurance? Do you have policies for each car or a broker who covers all your cars under one policy or anything?
Keep the one you like more as long as you don't need luggage space...then neither. I have the F coupe...the coupe has space enough for one plus luggage....otherwise.....but the Jag is much better looking and sounding.
At your younger age I would say keep the Audi and enjoy it. You can always buy an F type in a few years time. That way you get to have both cars in time and in the right order😎
@@be1441 Just having a bit of fun with ya…Yer doing fine with that orange R8…You got me, I don’t own an R8 ;-0 If one was going to have a first world problem to deal with this isn’t a bad one to have. I do have an affinity for F-types… ;-0

But you can also take the R8, sell it, then buy a F type and have a couple grand of cash left over 😂
I would say keep the F-type but that's just because I just bought one yesterday and I know how awesome it is😊
A customer came in with one of those F-Types last week.. my god it sounded incredible!
I would keep the jag everyday. Jaguar today are not old man’s cars… looks a lot better than the R8…
I’d keep the manual R8 all the way. Both cars are great but the look of the R8 is just on another level.
Keep the f type and tune it 🔥
I’d keep the Jaaaaaag

Hi Trevor, thanks for your years of support. I really appreciate it. Hopefully see you at the next car show 👍🏼
Surprised to see so much love for the Jag, which is agree with…. I think

What a wonderful problem to have -- like choosing between two supermodels. Either choice is a winner, even though I own the Jaaaaaag and love it.
I think AUDI R8 is way way better...it's sound ...it's power...it's manual Gearbox and it's looks and being able to see that stunning engine is incredible 😍
You’ll be happy to know, I kept the r8 😍

F-Type sold first. Had my r8 for over a year before selling it for a facelift S-Tronic version
@be1441 s tronic is nice I prefer the gated personally...I have a 2014 v10 6mt black
audi superrr❤❤❤❤
sell the R8 because the other option is a Jaaaaaaaaaaaag!
Easy choice, the jag! That model will never look outdated whereas that Audi…
Hi Ben, great video. I'm in a similar predicament, I've got a 60's mustang and a 80's 911. one needs to go as i want to go for a V8 R8 also, its hard to make a decision!
Ooooo that is also a tricky one 🫣
Keep the R8! Its a much more special car and will only continue to go up in value since its a gated manual!
Sell jag as r8 super car and to dream of
Very hard choice.. both could easily be toured cross country not mention with ac lol. Very tough
The r is awesome but I have r8 and an xkr.
As someone who hopes to own multiple cars in the future, can I ask how you do your insurance? Do you have policies for each car or a broker who covers all your cars under one policy or anything?
I usually insure each car separately. In this case, I hoped to sell the jag on. So usually cancel the insurance within 14 days to avoid big charges.
keep jaguar ftype of course
Keep the one you like more as long as you don't need luggage space...then neither. I have the F coupe...the coupe has space enough for one plus luggage....otherwise.....but the Jag is much better looking and sounding.
Lovely cars 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️
Keep the F-type...100%
At your younger age I would say keep the Audi and enjoy it. You can always buy an F type in a few years time. That way you get to have both cars in time and in the right order😎
Have you decided?
Ben can you give me a recommendation for the best car detailer
My friend over at reflections automotive based in daventry
R8
Keep the audii have a tt but would love a r8 one day in black stunning car
Keep the r8
Hmmm, not sure have an f type r, very reliable rocket 670 bhp ... sush dont tell anyone, R8 nice but would have to be a V10 anyway, my jag is quicker.
Personally I prefer the facelifted F-Type compared to the original, so with that in mind in this instance I would pick the R8
The Jag for me also does'nt look good in a Cab.......same as the 911...the coupes are far nicer and look finished
Keep the R8 :)
That’s the v8 dinosaur r8, it’s rubbish.
Said no one ever 😂
It's nice to have a convertible but stick with the R8 because I believe the F-Type will be nothing but problems like its predecessors.
That orange is disgusting and looks horrible. The decision is easy.
What colours your r8 🤣
