Default Jaguar F-Type S Coupe

Ok I love my new C7 Z51 Stingray and so does the wife but she wanted something a little different to drive. I bought her a 2015 Jaguar F-Type because she likes the way it looks. I have yet to drive the car because it don't get delivered for 2 more weeks and was wondering if anyone here has one and what do you think of it. Also what if any issues have you had with the car.
Thanks in advance

P.S. I still have my Vette

An old friend used to be the manager of the local Jag dealership, and when they got an F-Type in, a couple of years ago, he called me up and told me to come in and take it for a ride. It's a hoot to drive!

You may be selling your C7 to get another F-Type. They are friggen amazing. Just the sound the engine puts out is pure sex.

Someone I know just got a Maserrati Granturismo. I'd like to see that next to the new F type.

Funny you mention Maseratis. I got a post card in the mail yesterday, from the local dealer, wanting to know if I'd be interested in an "overnight test drive" of one.....

Best looking new, front engined car.

A few neighbors have them, leave the exhaust in sport mode, it sounds mean.

Did you get the V6S or the 8? Driven both, awesome, even the 6 banger. The V8 is just wild, but no joke the V6S is fun as hell and feels lighter/tighter and sounds like an exotic, hands down best sounding V6 by far. I think its great you can get he 6 now in manual trans, not a fan of how their switching to awd on V8 models adding even more weight... plenty of more powerful and lighter cars with more issues in regards to traction, but maybe they feel the avg Jag buyer has no clue what to do when they go even half throttle lol.

I got the V6S. It is my wife's car. She wanted the V6S, I naturally wanted to get her the V8S but she got what she wanted and she is happy and in the end that's what really matters. Happy Wife=Happy Life......
