Actually according to surveys Jaguars have actually been most reliable in certain categories. The XJ is the most reliable large luxury car and the F-Type was joint 2nd most reliable coupe. Ze Germans were almost consistently the least reliable in most categories although the Jag E-pace was also shit. That said the best executive car on the 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR. At 575 horsepower from its supercharged 5.0-liter direct-injection V8, the F-Type SVR rates 25 more than the next up in the lineup, the F-Type R. Both come standard with On average, Jaguar F-Types cost about $1,400 per year to maintain. These annual costs increase as your vehicle ages, ranging from $500-$2,400 per year. This is higher-than-average for luxury convertible vehicles, but the cost of ownership will be lower if you properly maintain your vehicle. Below, we’ll discuss more information on Jaguar F Some previous threads in here list some things to look out for on used cars. Check everything works opens shuts, door handles pop out etc. The cars can be prone to stone chips on the nose and rear arches, so check the condition/quality of the paint here. Some early owners reported misting inside headlamps. The F Type was on my list a couple of years ago. Tried a few of them and almost ended up going for the F Type S. It comes with the supercharged V6 and rear wheel drive. The standard F type has a little bit less horse power (340 in the base model and 380 in the S) but it did feel different when driving. Jaguars have bad resale because of perceived reliability and because of being a luxury car. I'll add an F Type R when I can get one under thirty, which will happen. Many Jaguar owners do this strategy of waiting. I'm also guilty of this, I'm trying to decide if my next car will be an XKR-S or an F-Type SVR. 5YxF.
