i got my 180hp diesel new nearly 2 years ago, performance is more than adequate, it is not supposed to be a racing car with the 2 litre diesel, my portfolio came in at approx £57k and has all the toys and whistles, put it in dynamic mode and performance still goes fairly mental! electric seats is an option on most models, mine came with electric seats except i also added memory seats amongst the plethora of upgrades hence the price
Laurence said.."all the toys and whistles, put it in dynamic mode and performance still goes fairly mental!" ... I've had my 2.0D for less than a week, had been looking for a 3.0D but the one I bought came up at a good price... I'm used to a 3.0L X-type which is fast... the car I bought drives very well... first time I put it in dynamic and floored it... performance is totally mental.
True, its a big improvement. More in line with land rover. Glad they've ditched the wheel selector for the gearbox, it's gimmicky and doesn't function as well.
You are spot on re. the driving performance. Took one for a test drive today. Was excited to take it out but ended up very disappointed with the 2 L struggling and revving high to get moving. A lot of rust on the brake callipers too.
Thanks for the review. I've got around £25k to spend and am really struggling to make a decision in this class. Trying to find something with good looks, decent mpg return, reliability and very importantly for me, an engaging drive, has been a challenge. My conclusion is I have to compromise in the looks dept and settle on the new shape X3. Would you agree?? P.S. I fully appreciate I can't expect the rewarding drive of my 2018 120d!!
This is so much different then ours in Canada. Mine is a 2019 S. You didn't mention my 3L petrol, which before the tune was 380hp mow 459hp. The sound alone makes it the best pic. Things like my sunroof, I didn't even know you can get one like a range rover, that doesn't open the roof.
Yeah we don't get the 3ltr petrol in the UK, 70% of buyers went for the 2litre diesel and its terrible. The absolute worst thing though is the gearbox, worst auto I've experienced. Massive lag, making it dangerous pulling out at busy junctions etc. Hows the gearbox on yours?
@@motorshedsteve that's right, I forgot you don't have the 3L, in anything, which is a shame.l really. Yes there is some lag i guess, but very little, less than any turbo anywhere, I have only heard 1 review even mention. The ZF 8 is obviously everywhere and it's a perfect application here, it's a shame that it's that bad. I believe the exact on the Fpace is a ZF HP75 which is probably the same tuning on the 2L as it is on all models, except SVR. I'm guessing they've initially programmed for 3L petrol, hence why it's better suited?
@@timk.537 on a daily basis I find it a huge pain. Came from a bmw 640 GC, 3l twin turbo diesel with a perfect gearbox, so I guess it exaggerates the problem with the f pace. My XJ was the same but I don't remember it being quite as bad.
@@motorshedsteveI did by a F-Pace S V6 Supercharged. Loaded with all the options. Mid mileage but very nice. I did have a VW Tiguan it was noisy because of the tires once I changed them it was supper quite. I will do the same when spring comes.
@@ivanprotoki1121 Jags arent really reliable, especially the ones with 2 litre engines. I had the Jaguar XE and have had issues with the timing chain, engine mounts, lock mechanisms for the rear doors and gearbox issues. The car had only done 52,000 miles. It was fun to drive it while it was running though. I would advise you to get a petrol engined Jag if you were looking to buy one
I had a 2007 S-Type 2.7 In Emerald Fire. Ran it for 10 years and it had everything. Was looking at possibly getting this car. Thanks for your review. I have decided they there is not a hope in hell that I would get on. Jaguar has been trading on a historic view of quality - when in reality, I think I would rather have a Trabant. At least it’s not pretending to be something it’s not!
I have had a r sport for the last 3 half years not a single problem put it in sport and checked flag and it goes fast enough on British roads plenty of kit further money it's not a rolls for noise but neither is a merc or bmw had a go in a glc and gave it back it was slow and the breaks felt like wood and the x4 wasn't much better I've had a evouge and a xf jag and this fpace and they are are all fine by me
I'm in the US and am looking for a used luxury mid-size SUV; what other options would you recommend in comparable price range as a 3 year old used luxury SUV? You seem quite disappointed and bored with the Jaguar. :(
@@chucktodd60 hmm, I can see an autocar review from 2017. How come there isn't a single one for sale in the UK? Means if they do that engine they are super-rare so irrelevant for a used car review.
This was very through thank I’m on the fence on purchasing a used f pace. I refuse to buy it brand new lol 😂 not just this car any car it loses so much value just driving off the lot
You're probably right. I went for the good looking one though, hate the way the portfolio looks, alloys are small and naff looking and bumpers aren't as nice. I used to have an XJ portfolio which I loved. I believe the portfolio should be the most desirable but doesn't seem to be with the F Pace. I've replaced this car with a 7 series now and couldn't be happier.
Ooft, no easy answer to that one. I would say that the best all rounder for that sort of money is the VW Toureg. The R Line is a nice blend of style, performance and features. They are really common where I live though which is the only reason I didn't consider one. I'd also recommend the Porsche Cayenne, for 15k you could get a 2010/11 model. Great engine, drive is lovely and has the most comfortable car seats I've ever sat in outside of a rolls Royce. If you want something a touch newer you can't go wrong with a Mazda CX5. Not as luxurious as the Porsche but built well and they are superb value. At this price point I'd avoid the X5 because in all honesty it's crap. Horrible driving position, feels like you're sat on top of the thing and it just doesn't feel like a nice car, the older ones are better and the new ones are great. I have a lot of experience with Jaguar Lnad Rover cars and couldn't actually recommend one as reliability with electrics is an issue. Buying one is a gamble. I have videos on the Toureg and CX5. Hope that helps.
Hi there! Which advice would you give me? At the moment I own a BMW 3 series MY 19 but I plan to change it within 3 years, 3 and a half years! I really want a used Jaguar and I'm considering the XF and the F-Pace! Thanks a lot
My advice would be DON'T. Get the latest 3 series instead in a decent spec if you have the latest one anyway. The jags would be a downgrade in my honest opinion, would also lose more money and be less reliable. Check out my video on the bmw 640 gran coupe. Might be a car that you would like.
@@ToOpen6seven The type of gremlins that interfere with the electrics. the window switches, rear camera, infotainment screen, unless they are just an option in my F"ing" pace. !!!!
Far from fabulous. I own this car, wish I didn't. It has so many flaws I actually held back in my review. Jaguar really need to up their game to compete with the MUCH better German SUVs. I still stand by the fact the 2ltr is too small and doesn't work with the gearbox. Looks is the only thing going for this car. As for the jibe at my weight, very obviously a sign of your low intelligence.
@@motorshedsteve Technically it was a comment on your size(weight and mass/size are different). Those type of comments are more a sign of class rather than intelligence( the speed/ability/capacity to learn), but I get you.
Dumber so-called product vehicles in England, They either don't know or don't care or both & most likely similar to Canada, And completely rules out dealing with the dummy because said jag Dummy don't know what to dumb down to bargain for the final price, this l would never purchase new just like the rest always wait for some other dummy to eat the sucker sticker as well as depreciation on most vehicles. But stupidly funny the dealers dealing these things don't even know what they come with standard or the money Grab option mental disorder.
Good Vid again 👌The car is rubbish, not worthy of the badge. The infotainment system is taken from a 2014 XF. It's a diesel, just horrible. May be worth buying an entry level Skoda SUV, save the badge money
Lol. That's Matlock in Derbyshire, a beautiful place, but I did find a rundown spot on purpose, to make the shiny car stand out. Incidentally it's really hard to find good filming locations, as they need to be quiet, accessible, and discoverable in a short space of time. I review private owner cars all over the place, and don't always know the areas. Finding a good place to do the exterior shots is the the most challenging part of the review. Thanks for watching.

Brilliant thanks brother bless you and your family 🙏
Thank you! This is an awesome review
Good review !
The other advice I would give is to avoid the manual versions at all costs.
Why do you say that?
Because fuq manual transmissions in luxury brands like this one.
great review mate...cheers 🍻
