Test drove an F-Type V8 convertible

Coupe doesn't look better in my opinion it looks too truncates at the back..... Although I wouldn't mind the extra 50hp :-)

Thanks guys, it's my first time in a Jag, I'm in the "honeymoon" period at the moment. Hope it lasts :-)

Interesting. I have a V8S Convertible as a courtesy car at the moment. I'm not in love with it.

It makes a good noise, but otherwise it's not really capturing my imagination. It goes, stops and turns. It doesn't feel like it wants to play like my XFR-S does and it doesn't excite like my TVR does. The boot is too small to just call it a cruiser. I have to admit that for the time being, I don't quite 'get' what this car is all about. I have it for a week so we'll see how I feel about it next weekend after using it for driving back and forth to work a few times.

Have you set it to "dynamic mode" and made sure all the settings are dynamic? Also switching the gear change over to sport and using the flappy paddles.

Transforms the car into a monster, if you leave everything in normal it very much is a cruiser.

Also re: boot does it have the spare wheel? Mine doesn't and the boot is ok really you can fit quote a lot of stuff in it, however I was used to an Audi R8 which also had quite a small boot.

If you want it to be like the TVR switch off the traction control :-)

The Alfa will hold value well, if residuals are a factor for you? it would be for me, the rare, exclusive and stunning 4C is the one to go for out of your line up.

Jags will go through the etype period, where no one wants them until 30/40 years on, when they will hit the roof, providing that is, quantity is kept low and exclusive.
