Jaguar F-Type (2013-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Sublime styling	Only two seats
Great fun to drive	V8 drinks fuel
Relatively good value for what it is	Tiny boot in convertible models

Quick Summary

The Jaguar F-Type (2013-present) is a stunning two-seater sports car that finally gave Jaguar a worthy successor to its legendary E-Type. Available in both coupe and convertible forms, the F-Type offers a compelling blend of striking design, engaging driving dynamics, and genuine performance credentials. The 2020 facelift brought significant updates, including a new 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder entry-level engine, sharper styling with slimmer headlights, revised taillights, and an improved infotainment system. The coupe provides a practical 299-310 litre boot, whilst the convertible offers 200-233 litres, both impressive for compact performance models.

The F-Type range spans from the agile P300 with 300hp to the formidable P575 R with 575hp supercharged V8 power and four-wheel drive. All models feature eight-speed automatic transmissions and come generously equipped with leather sports seats, LED headlights, climate control, and premium sound systems. Running costs reflect its sports car nature, with the P300 achieving around 29mpg officially and the V8 models returning 25-26mpg. Insurance falls into group 44 and above due to the aluminium structure's repair costs. Fixed-price servicing plans range from £1,000-£1,500 for three years, making ownership relatively manageable for a car of this calibre.

Best for: Drivers seeking a stunning, engaging sports car with genuine performance credentials, those wanting a British alternative to Porsche or German rivals, and buyers looking for excellent value compared to supercars like the Aston Martin Vantage.

Not ideal for: Families requiring more than two seats, those prioritising fuel economy, or buyers concerned about aluminium repair costs and high insurance premiums.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the F-Type if: You desire a stunning, engaging sports car with genuine performance, prefer a British alternative to German rivals, or seek excellent value compared to supercars like the Aston Martin Vantage.

Consider alternatives if: You require more than two seats, prioritise fuel economy, or are concerned about aluminium repair costs and high insurance premiums.

Competitive Position: The Jaguar F-Type is a worthy contender in the sports car market, offering sublime styling, engaging driving dynamics, and relatively good value for its performance credentials. Whilst the Porsche 718 Boxster edges ahead on expert ratings and user satisfaction, the F-Type provides a compelling British alternative with distinctive design and character. It outperforms the BMW Z4 and competes favourably with the Audi TT, making it an excellent choice for drivers seeking a distinctive, thrilling driving experience without the premium badge premium of its German competitors.
