The two-seater Jaguar F-Type is one of the best, most characterful sports cars you can get. It certainly looks the part and feels great to drive – the most powerful models are positively thrilling. It’s comfortable enough for long journeys too, and while there are more practical options, it has enough space in the boot for a weekend’s worth of luggage.
The F-Type has been sold new since 2013 and was updated in 2019 with redesigned bumpers and distinctive new headlights. There are two bodies to choose from: the soft-top Roadster and the hard-top Coupe. Both have two seats.
You’ve got a choice of 2.0-litre, 3.0-litre V6 or a 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine, characterised by the different sounds they make and how much power they have. But any F-Type is a fast car that sounds great. Manual gearboxes are available, but some models have an automatic and some also have four-wheel drive.
You can also choose from several trim and equipment packages, and some special edition models feature unique exterior and interior styling details.
All F-Type models have a touchscreen infotainment system with sat nav and smartphone connectivity, as well as climate control and parking sensors. Most also have heated leather seats, adaptive cruise control and a more advanced infotainment system with extra features. Some Coupe models have a glass sunroof.
According to official figures, 2.0-litre F-Type models can give up to 32mpg, 3.0-litre models can give up to 30mpg and 5.0-litre models can return around 25mpg. All that performance does come at some extra expense when it comes to running costs; Vehicle Excise Duty (car tax) costs are in the higher bands and most models are in higher insurance groups.
The F-Type’s rivals include the BMW Z4, Porsche Boxster and Porsche Cayman, which like the Jaguar are all great to drive and practical enough to use every day. It’s the F-Type’s style and character that make it a really compelling option, although driving purists may tell you that the Porsche models feel slightly sharper to drive.
