      +Seen Through Glass I'm also tall like you, so i got the exact same problem with the traffic lights.
      Why not move the traffic lights across the streets, like in America.
      I think alot people would be happier with that !

    1. I don't have one

  • @Cornwall1888

    I hate the white spot, white stripe, white lipstick, tyre writing and black spoiler, basically put it back to stock lol

    • @fallingwatersnz
      @fallingwatersnz 8 років тому +9

      +Cornwall1888 I agree, all the white, the tyre stickers and the spoiler totally ruin the car. Doesn't suit it at all

    ...but if you don't have 10 mins here's the 5 "HATED" things : 1 Rearview mirror size (too little) 2 Windscreen visibility (limited for tall people) 3 Distractive electric front seats (too many options) 4 Excessive soundproofing inside the car (or low exhaust sound) 5 Front engine is too confortable.

    • @MrRerre97

    • @MrRerre97
      @MrRerre97 8 років тому

      Yeah I have been looking in to those kinds of cars but I also would like Sams advice, you know, cause he's awsome and stuff. And also thanks to you to mate

  • @USASPORTSCARDS
    @USASPORTSCARDS 8 років тому +2

    One of the main reasons I went for the F-Type S coupe was because it sounds so much better inside the cabin. Very classical, racy noise that just vibrates your eardrums. The F-Type R is insane outside, but inside you feel like your missing some of the action, quite similar to the maserati Quattroporte GTS for example. Other than that, the main reason I went with the S coupe is because iris lighter, and I won't lose my license quite as quickly.

  • @TheCoBBus
    @TheCoBBus 8 років тому +40

    Can't you put your seat lower? or is it as low as it can be already ?

    • @Kaisuke971
      @Kaisuke971 8 років тому +40

      Are you forreal... You really thnk he as never ever thought about that ?!

    • @TheDoosh79
      @TheDoosh79 8 років тому +5

      +Kaisuke971 From the position he is holding the wheel though I'd say the seat is quite high, so it may be obvious but if he prefers an upright driving position then he's probably not tried lowering the seat. Me, I always have it on the stops as low as it goes with the wheel slightly higher than mid point, and quite close as well. Check out Chris Harris videos, I sit a lot like him, it looks a bit odd but I do about 40k miles a year and I've never been more comfortable.

    • @IceFish.
      @IceFish. 8 років тому

      +Matt Jarrett I also set my seat the same way he did in the m235i and my m8 always says it looks silly but the amount of feel and control I think it gives its worth it lol

    • @LaurieMB
      @LaurieMB 8 років тому

      +TheCoBBus He's adjusting at least 3 of the switches each traffic light so he's probably covered that option...

  • @marksopuck
    @marksopuck 8 років тому +1

    the problems you have with your car
    1) you're too tall for your low slung sports car
    2) you're too tall for your low slung sports car
    3) you're too ocd to sit back and enjoy the fact you can adjust your seat in every way possible
    4) you don't like how 'jag' ish (refined) your jag is. open a fucking window
    5) you don't like how such an amazing car has changed your perspective on cars
    these sound more like things you don't like about you than your car

    What are your thoughts on the Alfa Guilia QV? Nobody gets their mitts on one until the end of next year and like many recent mainstream Alfas, it presumably looks better in the wild than on promo shots. But you can't argue with a 7:39 ring time, the thing shifts!

    @seanm1430 29 днів тому

    5 things I hate about my F Type
    1) The digital speedometer- is partially hidden by the steering wheel
    2) You have no real idea where the front corners are
    3) It picks up stones which get caught in the seals- and end up scratching the windows
    4) It drinks petrol, especially as you'll keep putting it into dynamic and sport
    5) Everyday someone - no matter what they are driving will want to race you.
    But none of that matters on a clear quiet road. I can see why you take the car abroad.

  • @sarkomatic4755

    Don't drill your car to make it more sporty on the inside just get a 'Soundracer' they plug into your cigarette lighter and mimic the sounds of other cars, you could get a V8 one (others are available) you could go for a V12 Ferrari one for instance, great fun, and won't damage your car. Paste and copy 'Soundracer V12 Ferrari Car Gadget' into Amazon, you'll see. Its akin to using a squashed up can in the front wheel of your bike as a kid....

    About the exhaust note inside the car. You touched on it yourself, it's sort of a GT car. No one wants their ears to bleed when going somewhere in it for several hours, it's not all that pleasant. I get that for quicker trips around town and whatnot, that LOVELY rumble from the exhaust is the best thing ever. It's just not a good quality in a car that is suited for being a daily driver/long distance cruiser as well. Also, what is the difference like with the active exhaust on/off?

  • @sunsetblue1759
    @sunsetblue1759 8 років тому

    Q. HOW TALL ARE YOU ?
    You do live in Blighty with its tight streets, narrow roads & stuff, so I can see visibility being a bit of a serious issue.
    But I live in the US & have driven a C5 Corvette for a few years & people in normal cars just don't get it - there's so little visibility. I dropped my seat to the floor, slid it back until it squeaked against the fire wall and transmission tunnel, then got it comfy, recorded the memory position - and I did find space. But I am certainly some inches shorter. So I really need to test drive an F-type & really find out if it's just you.
    Q. What is it like in the Jag, at night - do you get all the bigger vehicles shining headlights straight into the cabin ? That's very bad in the 'vette. Or I'm just not a night driver.

    if you want the exhaust sound more prominent inside just pop off the door panels and remove the sound dampening inside. there is also (usually) fiber padding under the carpets as well that can be removed but that takes a bit more work. a more extreme measure is to remove the plastic underpanels under the engine but that can have effects on the air flow.

    Everyone hating on his car - every single person who modified their car does it to their style and specs. In my personal opinion the white spot is a little much, but I love the rest. See, that's my opinion, I'm not shoving it in his or anyone's face, in fact I really didn't need to throw it out there at all. Appreciate that everyone has their own style and deal with it.

    Finding that optimal racing seat position is tough, account for heal toe, traffic comfort and visibility. Took me about 2 1/2 months after I got my 350z. haha

    Get a "LightInSight" fresnel lens and mount on your windshield. I use one in my Audi, which has a low windshield. Works great, no neck craning most of the time.
    Btw, why not crack open the sunroof into vent mode? That way you'll hear the exhaust more.

    About the sound, what about taking out some of the sound isolation that they put over the firewall in between the engine and the cabin? Instead of messing up with the chassis, take out some of the isolation haha

    The weather in the UK is just appalling. Every TV show, youtube vid, it's raining. Always raining. I've been the the UK twice, both times in May. The weather was cold, cloudy and rainy, every day.
    I honestly don't know how they get people to live there.

    If you go to 1710 am on the radio and crank up the bass it usually picks up the engine sound! Works great on stick shifts. Haha, try it. Not what you are going for with a beautiful car like that though.

    I have some similar complaints. I own a 2007 Ford Escape in America. Nowhere near the comfort and high performance you have in the jag, but I'm 6'6 and I fit very comfortably inside, with 4x4 and a compact wheelbase that makes parking beyond easy. I do have Visibility problems though. One being my Rearview Mirror blocking everything on the passenger side, handles on both A-Pillars, and a smallish windshield that prevents me from seeing some traffic lights. I have to do the Kangaroo dance alot too. The Engine is also dampened in the inside. Other than that it's been an extremely reliable and dependable vehicle.

  • @kleetus92

    You touched on something rather interesting when you said drill holes in your car to make it louder... Well, you clearly can't do that for obvious reasons, but what you CAN do and it's reversible is remove some of the sound deadening material in the rear of the car. It's adhesive backed, probably 3M material, I'd imagine a hair dryer would be all that's necessary.
    I'd start at the very rear, closest to the exhaust, then either move to the sides of the fenders, or the bottom of the 'trunk' well below the spare tire.
    Bonus is you can always put it back on, and if you like it, just leave it out and with the trim in place, nobody would ever know about it.
    Now this is also predicated on exactly how much you really want to have a louder interior. Too much removal and you start picking up that annoying hiss from the tires like every economy junker has. If it's worth the effort, it's probably only an afternoon's worth of work to do this.
    Just a thought.

    Remove some of the sound insulation from your trunk to get more exhaust sound. I had the same complaint as you with my Cayman and I took out a bunch of the insulation (carpeting etc.) and now it sounds much better inside the cabin. Like you I wasn't looking to make it any louder outside the car.

    Only thing I agree with you on is the rear view mirror, in performance cars having perfect 360 view is essential! I had that issue my Nissan 370Z's where the side view mirror is massive that it blocks the side view so I had to keep lookin up the same way you do just to see if there is a car hiding behind that mirror! really frustrating! As for the sound, you might love the noise in the bgnng but blv me you'd later on be tired of it on long drives and this shows that you have perfect isolation as well! 3rdly the seat positions, you better have more options rather than less! and the ones you have there are all useful, you yourself were using it so you know that it does work to fit your body perfectly! that's all! enjoy it as much as you can!! lovely ride
