Another FABULOUS gift is the glorious amplified sound with the top-down. The top is very strong and well insulated when up, and it only takes 4 secs, at up to 30 mph, to tuck behind the windshield on the way down. Though it takes 8 secs to lock. Best convertible soft top design, ever. Its also the least turbulent convertible money can buy. Normal conversation at 100+mph.
The luxurious seats are a fan favorite, too. Gorgeous thick leather and perfect stitching, plus outstanding adjustability and support, but somehow, also so comfy they put you to sleep.
Definitely would have had the boot size and comfort in the top 5!!! It's a fantastic GT car, we went on a 3 week long European road trip with the wife in our V8R, 10 countries and 4200 miles 😁👍 We had from beach gear to hiking gear, tripod 2 big camera bags etc. Try that in any other 2 seater sports car with this much power 🤩 No McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini or Porsche can do that that I can think of 👍
Thanks for watching and commenting. I definitely agree! It’s impressive what you can get in there (unless it’s a convertible, of course!) The road trip sounds epic! What countries did you go to?

That’s hilarious I just bought a 2015 R that was barely driven and took it in for inspection.. posted a bunch of notes pleading them not to update the software! These earlier models just have so much personality. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the information, enjoying your videos, just found your channel as I’m thinking about buying a low mileage one, 5 litre, around 2015/16. Any particular things to look out for? Thanks Mike
Thanks Mike. I really appreciate the comment. I’ll be uploading a buyers guide video over the coming weeks so keep your eyes peeled for that. I hope you have good luck in your search for the right car!
A great question. It was because of the amount of fuel going through the cats. It degrades them. I've released a recent video on this, which may explain it in more detail.
#2 is the oil extractor pump nipple under the oil fill cap. A $75 extractor pump reduces an oil change to 2 mins, from above. The filter is on top of the engine so it can be changed within the 2 mins it takes the oil to drain, or changed out of phase with the oil. Why don’t all cars have this set-up?
Man i love your car, F-Type is one of the most beautiful cars
My #1 is Supercharger tunability. Easy 650-700HP without changing the transmission or intake or exhaust. Amazing.
A very good point! It’s amazing what these engines are capable of. Thanks for watching and commenting again
Wow what does that do for insurance or fuel economy?

My #3 is the ZF8 dual controls, paddles or shift lever, to shift manually. The proximity of the stereo volume knob with the shift lever is genius.
It's an impressively quick shift speed for an auto, single-clutch box. The ZF is a marvel of engineering genius!
The luxurious seats are a fan favorite, too. Gorgeous thick leather and perfect stitching, plus outstanding adjustability and support, but somehow, also so comfy they put you to sleep.
Thanks for another great comment. They are! Also the facelift seats are a real step up IMO. Happy driving!
Liked for the sound. My fav V8.

Thanks for watching and commenting. They certainly are an experience! I hope you enjoy your new car!
The bad thing about the door handles is they’ll lock with your keys inside. Car washes can be dangerous.
I can’t say I’ve had that one! Will it unlock again if they’re inside?
@@MrGB_UK
Oh no, it will not unlock.
Nudge the door handle and zzzzzzt.
You’re done.
I have an SVR 2017, the car won’t lock with the key inside. I loved your video btw!
@@hugq14
Maybe your second set is in range.
Love this car ❤
Wish I could afford one 🥺
I’ve had mine since new going on 7 years. Best car purchase that I have made. 5 years of service and warranty? Crazy…
Great Video. Efficient & Classy like the Jag. Absolutely love what you did with accent wraps. Going to check your other videos. What year is yours???
Thanks for the great comment. This is a 2018 5.0 V8. Happy driving
I LOVE the F TYPE Coupes !!! why must the Great Jaguar V8's end ?
I couldn't agree more!
My XK 5.0 is great and rare being 1 of 25 in the world
Besides initial purchase, is there a big difference in ownership costs between the 3.0 and the 5.0?

Why were pre software update cars ruining the catalytic converters? I'm considering buying a pre owned F-Type and am educating myself on it. Thank you

Totally off topic, But what king of sun glasses are those?
They're the blue/gold RayBan aviators 👍🏼
