FTFY. 1. Sclass550. • 8 yr. ago. They're arguably one of if not the least reliable in the category. Their reliability has improved over recent years but they still lag. That said even unreliable cars these days are fairly reliable. You don't buy a Jaguar because it's reliable or the smart thing to do. You buy a Jaguar because it's a
The SVR uses the same supercharged 5.0-liter V8 as the F-Type R, but it adds 25 horsepower and 14 pound-feet of torque. That’s not a ton, sure, but it means output levels are a staggering 575 hp
The F-Type is pretty solid. But there are three important issues to watch when buying one (and none is a deal breaker imo): Supercharger isolator rattle, fuel injector smoke screen and the diff. E-Diff is known to cook itself, all the diffs are known to fail and/or weep due to bad seals.

In that respect, I think the base F-type is the best, design-wise. The exhaust is similarly overdone. It wouldn't be so bad if it were just a problem of volume, but the pops and bangs are a bit fatuous.
To get a Porsche with similar specs to the base Jag, you’re looking at at least $120k, and that’s before we get to the F-Type R. The F-Type R, with 575 horsepower, 575 lb ft of torque starts around $103k - to come close to that level of power in a Porsche, you’d need the 911 Turbo (which only has 572 horsepower incidentally) and starts at Tata has left Jaguar to it's own devices, but the change in ownership happened in 2008. A car design cycle is 4-6 years, and usually has a similar sales model cycle (typically longer for Jag). We're 10 years out. The F-Type arrived in 2013, 5 years out from the change of ownership. wmPen5j.
