Introduction
What Car? says...
Heritage is a double-edged sword, and while the Jaguar F-Type can be proud of its lineage, it’s name probably reminds you of something rather special.
That’s right, the legendary Jaguar E-Type – a car that's been revered by many as one of the all-time greats (even Enzo Ferrari commented on its beauty). So, how exactly is the F-Type Coupé we're reviewing here supposed to live up to those expectations?
Whichever engine you pick, it remains a strict two-seater, though. You’ll need an 8 Series or 911 to match the F-Type’s performance while carrying more than one passenger.
So, can the Jaguar F-Type take on all-comers confidently, or do rivals leave it bruised and bloodied? Read on and we’ll tell you exactly how it drives, what it’s like for passengers and how much it’ll cost you to run. We’ll also explain which engines are our favourites, and why.
By the way, if you like the look of the F-Type Coupé but fancy open-top thrills too, check out our Jaguar F-Type Convertible review.
