- Life's Too Short To Not Drive a Jaguar F Type
How reliable is a Jaguar F Type? Does it matter? Remember, Life's Too Short To Drive Boring Cars, so finding's the right balance between fun, excitement, cost of owning and reliability is optimal.
Thanks for sharing Mark.
You bet, thanks again for watching. Hope you are having a great day. BTW my next VLOG is out in about 1/2 hour, just a little later, but there today nonetheless.
@@markholubetz oh thanks Mark. Gonna check it out. I enjoy both of ur channels. Take care.
The 911 fanboy (me) Googles the F type R after every one of your videos..
Wonderful cars, indeed! Thanks again!
911's are getting pretty pricey Thomas. Every time I look it seems like they are creeping up in value, especially the 997s. They are certainly catching on. 991s are holding and the 992 are still too new but time will tell. I would say I am seeing some decent buys on regalar GT3's, not cheap, but decent for the type of car that it is.
@@markholubetz your point, exactly! And the f type certainly checks the boxes and I'm seeing for the mid $50,000 USD.
More reasonable than the 911, IMO
Love the F-Types and Jags in general. I currently own two, an X-Type which is great in snow and an XE I use as daily driver. No big issues as I baby both of them. My first Jag was an ‘86 XJS V-12 loved it, but was in the shop all the time! Lol. Anyway, great vid! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing Tim. The newer cars do have a few glitches here nd there, but the charm is certainly there and overcomes the silliness. Wonderful cars.
Mark is best known for 3 things:
1. Hot V & N63
2. Heavy oil consumption
3. Leaks leaks leaks...😂
Haha, nice. And fun cars.
@@markholubetz haha yes, look forward to visit you once I go to edmonton again💪
Great job, because of you I got f-type, I loving it 😀. Thank you
Great to hear! You loving the car so far?
Hi Mark
Life's too short to drive boring cars...
This is why I bought the F-TYPE!!!
Great video, as usual: very correct and extremely logical speech...
Have a nice afternoon
Alessandro
Well said! Thanks Alessandro, as you see, they are wonderful machines and probably worth holding now as we are in the midst of the electric transition and we will probably never see cars like this again once Jag moves on.
Really true live is to short. I've been watching your videos and I really like it . I have really learned much from your videos .sir please am pleading if you can be the person to choose one of my next used car???
So nice of you
Great video and yes to the message.
Have a 2016 F type s awd with 50k.
I find your videos super valuable. Keep them coming.
My current struggle: finding affordable wheels.......I have OEM 19s and part of me wants 20's or 19's that are lighter. I am looking at adatpters too but they sort of scare me. Anyway, that might be something many are looking at...even with other brands. 5x108 is a really small option space.
Thanks! 👍 They really are great machines.
Mark, once again I say, a StuNNIng video!! So refreshing to hear honest opinions from someone who owns high-end luxury vehicles. You make me long even harder for my F-Type. Thanks for your dedication and love for these beautiful machines. Treat them well, and they'll treat you well in return, that my belief. Appreciated. Have a great week. Keep warm.
Thanks Wayne and I appreciate your comment and dropping in. Absolutely if a person looks after their car, usually it does so in return. Does it look like you have your f type by spring? I know this whole supply chain thing is getting a bit much so things seem to be a bit delayed these days. As far as the weather goes I certainly will try to stay warm as I see it got down to minus 20c last night. Bbtrrr
@@markholubetz Minus 20? Wow, rarely gets to about minus 5 here, and I hate it! Delays, delays, sorry to say. But I'm eternally patient. Worth the wait, for sure.
Looking forward to what you do in the winter. I just got my 2017 six speed. I plan to use it during the winter at least when it’s not snowing and just put on Michelin all season tires. I had a 2003 S type 5 speed and it was horrible in the winter even with all snows.
Sounds great! The AWD in these cars should help as long as there is some decent rubber below.
@@markholubetz Mine is RWD.
I'm quite annoyed with Jaguar. I just saw the Maserati MC 20 and guess what, it looks like the Jaguar C-X75, which never saw the light of day ! So Jaguar in their infinite wisdom screwed it up again by handing a great idea to someone else. What is it with Jaguar always snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Mark, do video on the MC 20 if you can. I'm planning on one to park alongside the F Type
I agree, and I will dig into this more, but did touch on it today. I agree, Jag has the potential.
I'm currently working to replace the upper/lower coolant outlet pipes on my 2015 F-Type R (32k miles). I'm also replacing the water pump while I have the supercharger off the car! This is a known issue with the design of the original coolant pipes on these cars. Not a big deal for me, as I'm doing the work myself. However, if your manufacturers warranty runs out, you will have to come out of pocket for parts and labor. If you get an extended warranty, it still may not cover all that needs to be done to resolve this issue.
Thanks for the heads up. Gotta love the use of plastic in cooling components, ie BMW. I will have to look into this and thanks a lot for the heads up.
@@markholubetz I first discovered this in the Jaguar forums. There's an amazing write-up that details the issue and repair! Thank you for the amazing and entertaining videos Mark!!
Hi Mark, I've another car for you to look up along with Ariel Atom , it's called the :
BAC Mono R and I think you'll absolutely fall in love with it 🤭
I will check it out. Those little decimated track Stars are always a ton of fun to drive. Almost dizzying. lol. There should be more like that. I know KTM also has one of these awesome rides too. Thanks David, have an awesome weekend.
mark its time to walk the walk, put some quality studded winter skins on and see how good that car can be in the winter , simple formula xf 19 inch rims non staggered, nokian duel stud tires with that awd system it will blow your mind , iwas ready to put my xj away for the winter , but fitted these and now cant wait to get it out every chance i get . Better than any other mod i have ever done just do it you know you wanna !!!
You are totally correct and I have been shopping again for winter wheels, funny thing is all g comes summer and I forget to buy and then winter comes now I need again. On the search right now for sure.
Oh man...Mark, you made it so hard for me to decide now..F-Type R vs M4 xDrive Competition..I almost decided on M4 because it is less expensive and has more trunk space..it is also little faster than F-Type R...but now, I am back considering R again mainly because it is such a beautiful car though it is 15k more expensive over my M4 design..I am so split on trying to decide if it will be worth it. Like you said, these cars won't be around for long..a lot of it has to do with my dad too..his dream was to own an E-Type when he was growing up..he is not getting any younger..a part of me thinks that when he is gone I will appreciate it more driving a car that he really always wanted..not to say that he does not like M4, he does, just not as much as the Jag. I still have till March or April to decide. I heard from the dealer that they will not have allocations until around that time anyways. Good job on the video. I am glad that you made a video specifically addressing F-Type reliability.
Thanks a lot Ermin for writing back. They are both great cars and the BMW is a bit more modern and tech, plus you can get a stick shift in the base M4 so that’s great but the choice was clear to me even when comparing to a Porsche 911.
My F-Type V8 VAP 2 pulley is twice as fast as my BMW JB4 FBO 135i (420 HP), maybe 3x.
And then you got the Honda it's reliable but you gotta drive a vehicle that looks like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
nice
Assuming you have some type of service warranty..what company do you use ?
To be honest I am not sure.
Hey Mark, what type of tires and rims should I put on for the winter. Should I go to the dealership for tires and rims?
if you go to jag they will recommend 19 inch non staggered rims with 245 /45/19 tires they will be very expensive, and the tire brand selection will be not optimal , those 19 inch rims come of xf s and many owners upgrade to 20 inch rims so there are lots of 19inch rims on the second hand market usually used very little . the 19inch rim with a 45 profile gives the exact radius for the awd i chose nokian duel stud 102 T not a cheap option but are the best winter tire i have used in 30 years of winter driving . i hope this helps i found it hard to find good info jag basicly said if you dont want our winter package dont bother us for info so i hunted around the forums to find the correct fitment , be prepared this is an expensive endeavor, each rim $100 second hand , powder coating per rim $200 each tire fitted $350 . the jag package with mediocre tires is a hair under $3000 all prices 2020 in cad $ full disclosure mines an xj but the oem tire sizes and awd are the same as the f type
Check out Callum's response below. Perfect.
Great video Mark. I have a question and maybe the other people who subscribe to your channel may have some insight. Just the other day I parked my F-type R on my driveway which has a slight incline....when I put the car into reverse, the car didn't move. I put it in drive to see if I can move it up and nothing happened. I turned the car off and then I had no issues. I am under warranty and will get this checked. Just wanted to see if you and anyone else had this problem. The car also went into Park twice when I pulled into a parking spot but I never pressed the P button a month ago. This concerns me. Thanks for any information.
Hi, I am not sure we are talking the same thing but mine does that sometimes where it’s the electric park brake that holds the vehicle and I put the car into reverse and give it a slight bit of throttle to tell the computer I am actually trying to move. It’s. A safety feature so a car does not roll back or only rely on the transmission park pawl.
Thanks Mark, yes I believe we are talking about the same thing. I have an appointment on Thursday with my dealership and they think it is a safety mechanism but since I am under warranty, they will check it out. I will keep you posted if they find anything. Appreciate the quick response and keep up the great videos!
