The comparison with an aircraft interior is spot on.The only time I sat inside an E Type, that is the first thing that occurred to me.

Thomas, what is your take on the basic Meridian Sound system with 380W (not the Meridian surround system)? Is it comparable to the Bose sound system in the TT?
I dont think so
Great review. I'm considering buying an F type but that cabin looked really tight and it appeared you had to sit bolt upright. Seems claustrophobic?
it's not particularly fast, not very sharp steering, not the most refined, not the most cheap option. It is only quiet nice shaped and sounds really well. Doesn't makes me want to have one.
The S version couldn't drive away against my 190hp Abarth 500 on the autobahn. Lot of sound, but no go at all. I would go for a SLK AMG. Good sound, better finish and more exclusive. Yes in this case I would buy a German over a English car. And that's a really exception!
+skycrap Are you for real?
He thinks he could keep up with one in his Fiat 500..... lol what do you think? :-D
skycrap a fiat 😂
gilles esterhuizen I think people who drive a Volkswagen Golf should shut the fuck up about cars...
skycrap you wish haha i drive a range rover actually and thinking about a f type as a wknd car. But a fiat ???? 😂😂 classic.
I have a 2017 V6 S convertible. It's an absolute blast! More than fast enough, with a 171mph top speed, and high 12 second 1/4 mile on good gas. The thing that sets it apart from higher end and faster cars is the F-Type's incredible responsiveness. It's always stupidly fun, unlike the often numb offerings of other makes.
100% agree.
Having owned a V6 convertible and now a V8 R I would actually say the most fun and exciting version of the car is the 2WD R version. The 4WD version you tested is great on snow but is heavier and less exciting to drive. If you drive the 4WD V6 I think you would find the same thing - 4WD is heavier and not as direct to drive.
Thinking about a v6 S convertible. Seems priced right at about 31-35,000 USD
@@jamesdempsey5702 Fantastic car. Great balance and sound is amazing. At that price it is a bargain.
@@jamesdempsey5702 Hah, maybe $35K when you wrote that, but not right now!
For this one I can really just recommend: FULL HD, FULLSCREEN & FULL LENGTH of Autogefühl!
And in this case also FULL VOLUME =)
+Autogefühl Coupe is awesome. Just like the flowing lines and the reduced weight. Jaguar could enhance the V6 further with a larger supercharger and cold air intakes. I'm betting 375-400hp is possible.
+gbriank1 You are totally right! There actually already is another version of the V6 F-type: the V6 S with about 380 hp.
If u have the Adaptive suspension, but its optional. Still the R is always stiffer
V6S is 380 hp
***** At this price point, it should be standard.
4:12 I always pass behind the camera to avoid being a jerk. He didn't care :D
+ast5515 haha =)
Yeah but I don't think he knew
Amusing ad lib response though. Great to see this sense of humor associated even with review of such an expensive car.
So jealous where you live, beautiful country side. Thomas, you have great very detailed reviews , over the top ! This is my next car, upgrading from my Saturn Redline Turbo, which I love, but ready to step up.
This guy makes every review a science, anticipates every question and answers it! Thanks for the upload, brilliant! 😀
cheers ! :)
The F-type is such a beautiful car! I loved it from the moment they introduced the first concept on a car show and hoped the production version would be close to the concept. And it was!
I prefer the coupe, it's even more beautiful. In blue with a light interior. The V6 version would be fine. It sounds glorious and for me 340 hp is more than enough.
And with an automatic, please! A manual is good fun for 10% of the time, but the rest of the time I prefer an automatic. And for that 10% I can use the paddle shifters. (Also, due to the fact that the manual has much higher CO2 emissions, it's actually 14 thousand (!) euro MORE expensive than the automatic here in the Netherlands..).
So easy choices, actually. Too bad my bank account is somehow in disagreement! :-)
Wow interesting with that co2 fact. Usually the auto gear boxes note higher consumptions?!
+Autogefühl I was surprised about that too. The manual has 234 grams, the automatic 199. Quite a difference.
+artemusje2 very strange. Maybe has something to do with having less gears available
If i had the choice, i always go for the Coupé, the extra beauty and stiffness is worth it + basic V6 in Coupé form would be a dream!
I would personally always choose the manual, regardless of which engine and body. Auto takes away an element of connection with the car which is surely what we buy cars like this for in the first place. Both cars are very beautiful but I think the V6 is best value and quick enough for general road use.
Elegant car. Is the rear from Aston Martin? Just kidding.
I wish Jaguar would release another super car like the great XJ220.
I just love the reviews of Thomas,even when a pedal cyclist rides in front of him he isn't thrown for one second and comes out with a brilliant one liner.
+peter feltham thanks Peter =) I just dont feel like cutting away those situations because that's life :)
I'm in process of buying a V6 manual transmission coupe, I hope to get it in a couple of weeks. This review is very helpful in letting me know what to expect.
Hi Thomas, such a great review again ;-)
The F-type really looks nice!
Greetings, Tuukka
+Tuukka Varjoranta thx =)
I would go for V6 roadster with anual gearbox. In British green racing :) Nice review.
Very open minded to like English cars and excellent english.
thanks Adam!
A classically proportioned automobile. I drive a 2016 Mazda MX-5/Miata, there are many shared design cues between these two cars. The Jaguar seems like a grown up MX-5.
Was für ein unglaublich detaillierter Review!
Es ist einfach nur unglaublicher Spaß, dabei zuzusehen. Da hat jmd. sein Hobby zum Beruf gemacht, und das wird in jedem Review mit großartigem Ergebnis belohnt...
Respect & Thx Thomas!
+Mike Schmith Vielen Dank! Wir können die Unterstützung gebrauchen!
Great review and really nice discussion about styling, really enjoyed it and camera work is really good too. Thank you for posting
Obwohl ich ja Englisch hasse, gucke ich lieber hier als bei ausfahrt TV. Thomas, du bist einfach besser...angenehmer zuzuhören, wirkst kompetenter und sprichst flüssiger. Gruß ausm Pott.
+M4 für Alle Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße an den Pott-Bruder =)
I had the V6 S convertible over a weekend. Amazing on normal urban roads as well as more aggressive sporty driving. engine note is phenomenal. very special car indeed and turns heads.
The best or one of the best sounding V6 engine cars out there.
+cesar gonzalez so true
Fantastic Car, Nice sound and finest reviewer
I think the statements about tall people in teh F Type are too positive still. I really wanted this car, but the test drives were frustrating. I am 1,92m (6.4) and there was nothing I could do to make me fit in this car comfortably. If I moved the seat cushion all the way back then the back rest moved forward - and vice versa. I drove the version with manual transmission so both knees hurt after 2 minutes because they always hit something. Steering wheel adjustment did not help either. This car is way too small for tall people. Does Jaguar think tall people should not drive sports cars?
Unfortunately a common problem among high performance cars. Im 183 and still fit fine though, so for above average guys it's still good.
kein besseres Cabrios auf dem Markt aktuell!
der sound einfach geil
Unflappable review,, as usual. Thanks.
4:12 That line made me LOL 😁👍
i am so excited on the new f type svr
Thanks for ur review got a better chance to know about the difference between the coupe comparison v6 and the v8. Love your channel. Got to say that V6 is the sound!!!
+宋志成 thanks man !
That leaping Jaguar badge on the steering wheel is aesthetically unpleasing. I wish they would replace it with the Jaguar face badge they use for the grill. To quote Thomas, "But what do you think? Please leave your comments in the section below."
agreed
Colin Smith like my XKR....
I love the V8 sound of Ftype R.
I would take a V6 coupé. I need that trunk space.
This guy does the best reviews! Very thorough, and love the very detailed analysis of all aspects. Beautiful car too!
always appreciated!
Very detailed. Very fair. Excellent review!
+porsche lover appreciated!
Every Jag is a Classic !!
Poor build quality, 400 kilos to heavy, and 30k overpriced not to mention jaguars woeful approach to customer service. Official jaguar spec on gaps between panels is 1cm, that is laughable on a supposed quality car. The interior is a sea of plastic and cheap Chinese components. This is an awful overpriced overrated pile of junk.
Porsche Cayman blows this out of the water.
momentmal, sprit sparen tut man doch nicht wenn der gang draußen ist und man rollt. Sondern wenn der Gang drin ist und rollt weil die Reifen von alleine angetrieben werden und beim neutralen wird die Kraft vom Motor umsonst geliefert und kriegt kein Input von den Reifen. Richtig?
Allerdings haben moderne Fahrzeuge eine Schubabschaltung, bei Der dann weniger Kraftstoff verbraucht wird als im Leerlauf im neutralen Gang. Allerdings rollt das Auto in der Tat im neutralen Gang weiter. Also kommt es in diesem Vergleich darauf an, ob man gerade soweit rollen möchte wie möglich oder demnächst zum halten kommt. Dann kommt es noch auf an ob es ein Auto ist was einen Segelmodus hat zum Beispiel.
Would have bet that it's Düsseldorf from the looks, but should be Essen gauging from the traffic signs. :)
Interesting that Thomas says "interesting" so often. Interessant. Ja, das ist interessant. Anyway, perfect review. It'd be a bit small for me.
Just bought the F-type R coupe, really weren't kidding about the rough suspension... Not a deal breaker for my use, but if you go on longer journeys on rough roads, get a softer model. I personally still prefer the R even despite the hard suspension though, that v8 is a killer.
I would have a V6 S convertible, that really nice orange colour they offer with the black wheels (similar to the ones on the V6) and I would have a black interior.
Thomas, can you please do an updated review of the MY19.5 infotainment in the latest F-Type. It now doesn't have the hard buttons on the side and it looks much better. Perhaps showing the difference
Thanks for the great video~
👍
I like black interior for sports cars as 1st choice. Some rich colors like brown or red are good and come in close 2nd.
51:27 jaguar needs to add some kind of body design that has something in common with that half circle sticking out of the brake lights
Hi Thomas. Would you choose 981 Cayman S 3.4L 325bhp or F Type Coupe V6S 380bhp? I currently have 987 3.4L Boxster S, naturally next progress is 981 3.4L but I am blown away by the stock exhaust sound of F Type and it looks great too.
The ftype V6 has a lot of problems. Dont buy. Buy the V8 or nothing
Dat car ! Dat review !
+gib112 DAT COMMUNITY !
I have the AWD F-Type S Coupe. I think its the best blend of all (including price)
+1. .. Oh yeah, a blue metallic exterior with a linen colored interior works nicely...
Nice review.
nice review as usual
+Amari Amg great to have u here again!
thanx and really great to be watching ur reviews once more :)
Orange exterior with Black interior and orange stitching. Or red with red stitching.
Getting PHD on F type? Advancing 2 c driving...
the EU need to stop interfering with stupid regulations. given a choice i would prefer to hear a car approaching than be knocked down by an electric vehicle creeping up silently from behind. if they are planning to make these cars quieter they should make electric more noisy... imo :)
Indeed some ev cars make extra noise to be heard at low speeds
At 44.36 min. in the tunnelscene, the rpm couter does not work...
Sweet, sweet exhaust note!
Nice sunshine in Deutschland.
Coupé for me.
Topless version is stunning with top down I must admit.
Btw, when you demonstrated the soft top, I noticed the driver's door handle on the outside was extended outward.
Is that normal??
Nice reviews, Thomas 👍🏻
+Mario Dalla Riva grazie! Well it seems that in old British fashion, some electronics have their own mind ;-)
But basically, when the car is unlocked, they are opened, when car is locked, they are hidden
FANTASTIC PRESENTATION of this car!You made it so enjoyable to watch all the way thru..You covered everything with Class.I just may buy the convertible now. TY..good job.
appreciated keep supporting us!
Beautiful car ! Especially like the roadster, my only gripe is the fake air vent , should only be there if needed and functional .
Overall good drivers car .
Thanks enjoyed the review .
Joe
+TechExplorer thanks joe!
Great review Thomas ! Indeed two special cars but with two different purposes: the v6 f type roadster gives you a freedom feeling and is much fun to drive, even in the city, with a magnific sound, while the powerful R version is much suitable for the track.
+Cris FanCars indeed ! Thanks cris!
Any chance of Autogefuhl test driving the F-Type which has been tuned by Arden to produce 650 PS?
The tuners hardly give out test cars
@1:52 is this the new mx5 miata with a jaguar badge. lol
Hi Thomas - great review! Your Fave between F-Type V6 Manual or new Boxster?
+Tony Davids Styling: F-TYPE, driving: Boxster
4:20 Savage mode Thomas totally roasting that cycle =D
That cyclist might not have the horse power but with proper gearing he can still go fast :P
+Jan Šinkovec =)
Those wheels on the R AWD don't look like OEM Jaguar wheels to me....I guess the Swiss guys put some of their own wheels/snow-tyres combos onto it ? Can we find out what wheels/tyres they were using ?
+BertoniBertone that should be winter tyres from the parts programme, check your country's jaguar additional parts brochure for that
+Autogefühl . Those wheels are definitely not available in the UK. They don't even look like a Jag OEM wheel. I'm 100% sure they are 'after-market'. So, I'm very surprised that Jag would allow a car on an 'official event' to have non-OEM wheels. Unless, of course, it's not an official event by the factory.....but by the local Swiss concessionaire...? Any thoughts ?
Hi Thomas, toller Vergleichstest, wie immer! Witzigerweise auch ein Vergleichstest zwischen deiner Frisur "gegelt" und "ungegelt". Ich finde die zweite Variante besser. Sieht irgendwie kerniger, frischer aus. Aber das ist wohl Geschmacksache.
Ich bin jedenfalls Fan deiner Tests! Den Jaguar hättest du für meinen Geschmack im Tunnel noch n bisschen länger röhren lassen können.
Vielen Dank für die Videos!!!
+italopete hehe =) Besten Dank! Jo man muss ja auch immer aufs Speed Limit achten =)
This car look so nice. Red color for me pls.
I would love to see a Ferrari California T review if you can get your hands on one
We have that, yt search autogefuehl ferrari california review
Love to see you do a review of the Evora 400, you might be personally interested that I think you can get it with a full alcantera interior.
+Phos9 Lotus is not really existant in PR in Germany ...
Phos9 . Not exactly true! I drove the Evora recently and the new F-Type 2.0. The Jag is just much more comfortable. Also very nimble.
It has more storage and is very elegant looking. The Evora ist a great looking car. More like a Supercar than a Gt. Extremely nimble, yet a little uncomfortable for my taste. Almost a little stressful.Great acceleration, due to it’s little weight. Interior of the car was fine, but prefer the Jag inside. The Evora is fun and for sure reliable with the Camry V6. But I wouldn’t enjoy to drive it for longer distances.
We have some specialist in review thank you for the good job
+Prince E 👌
I like how you refer to the passenger seat as "co-driver" hehe
:)
I love the front, what a beauty
The side profil is very well done !
