Interior is well put together. Id say materials are on par with C7. Like the Corvette though there are plenty of upgrades to be check off on the options list. This is a base F Type Coupe.
Seating position and forward view remind me alot of the Corvette
Driver focused cockpit
Fighter jet inspired switches and Gear selector is a nice touch
Much needed updated graphics over 14-16 model years
Bits and pieces are solidly constructed, nothing like Jags of the 90s and early 00s
Plastic **** paddles on a $60k+ car is offensive...Corvette is an offender as well. I know, the fix is going with a 3rd pedal and an anti Gen Y security device in the middle
Key has a nice heft to it. Land Rover and Jag are now one company and share the cases

C7 has a clear edge in the infotainment tech.
It does share a similar style of temp gauge/ fan speed in control **** as the C7
These vents rise and lower with the ac system. Gimmicky lol impresses no one. Id rather they osolate to be honest. And like the Corvette, cabin is tigh and so its easy to cool down and i imagine to heat up in the winter.

Thanks!!! Thats probably its strongest trait is the style. The Automatic 8 speed might as well be a DCT without the downsides. Its a seriously good transmission. Quick paddle responses and all the right noises
Here i am days after i took delivery, removed the resonator and really woke up the engine sound!! I had a 4k tev limit at idle. Turn up the speakers for the drive by though!

Lowering it a little and some wheel spacers would make it look mean.

I took a break too.. Had owned 2 Z06s before...
I leased mine for 36 months until the kinks were worked out on the new Z06 (glad I waited). Mine has been flawless so far. Granted I only have 15k miles on it but I have beat the p*** out of it.
My lease is up in a few months not sure what is next I have been pleasantly surprised by this car

Looks like you have the R. I stuck with the V6 for cost reasons but i admit that im enjoying this on a daily more so than any Corvette ive owned. Alot has to do with the convenience if having an Automatic in the Jag. I never owned a Corvette without a manual trans, but have driven plent of automatic Corvettes. unlike the A4 in c5s and A6 trans in the 6th gen this 8 speed is fun!!!!
Going to an f type wasnt a hard transition at all. Shares alot with the corvette in terms of character, driving position etc. it really is the British Corvette.
Im suprised how lovable the f type can be even in base form
