A great review of the 2021 F-type R.

I learned something I had no clue was a function of my 2019 F-type R too -- check out the video at 07:50 mark. When in the sport / paddle drive mode and you push the "P" park button, the gear shift automatically shifts back to center and then puts the car in park. Coooooool.....

 

I think it does that if you just switch off, no need to press P at all!

 

I like how he states that F-Type is the more fun car compared to newer 911s. I wholeheartedly agree with this, on the streets where you don't push a car to 9/10th or 10/10th, the Jag is more enjoyable and exciting!

 

And in the UK, people will let you filter into traffic in a Jag - in a Porsche you'll be sitting waiting for a long time!

 

I struggled through his review. I have watched a couple of his other YouTube videos and find him to be so annoying that I won't watch another.

 

i wouldn't mind the extra 25 HP but every time i see the new face of the F Type i want to cry. dang they are screwing up this car...

 

I wish that they had kept the headlights under glass homage to the E Type look as well, but the side, 3/4 and rear views make up for the new front.

 

I agree. I'm hoping they can change it up again over the next few years to make it look better. I'm trying to like it, but I just cant get there.

 

Just tried this... awesome!

 

And he still doesn't know how to pronounce it....come on Doug

Sadly if you look through the comments on his video, there are many from 911 owners asking if you can afford to buy two for when one is in the shop...

 

You can't help some people who still live in the 1980s ....

 

Nothing annoying about his videos, they are spot on good. He has 3.72 million subscribers and 1.1 billion views, he is clearly doing something right. Maybe he is not the annoying one...

 

Hmmm...doesn't work on mine.

Living in the 1980's probably goes along with owning a car that looks just the same as it did in the 1980's

 

I can't stand how the license plate covers up a huge chunk of the front grille.

 

Sure. And Scotty Kilmer has 3.61 million subscribers and 1,158,510,594 views. I find him even more annoying and quit watching his videos as well. I must have a problem if 3.61 million disagree with me.
Too bad there is no way to track views that are never made.

 

There are a lot of things many people seem to agree on that I do not - views and subscriber are just that numbers - if you had a user review about the host from each subscriber or viewer I bet there are plenty that find his presentation unappealing as I do. I'm sure the Kardashian's TV show, social media, and apps have many viewers and subscribers etc. but I don't feel left out for not being one of them.

I agree. I hate front license plates on sports cars. At least on the old car the license plate hides part of that big ugly bar in the grille.

Thankfully, I live where you can get a special interest rear-only plate. That way you can see the entire grille and appreciate the updated styling.

Getting rid of that bar in the grille along with the new, modern headlights updates the appearance of the car so it looks like it's from this decade, not the last.

 

At least here in Southern Calif. the 21's R's are few and far between. Local Jag dealers are devoid of any new F-Types, (MY 20 or 21) with the exception of a few 4 cyl. models. JLR seems to be sitting on their hands waiting to see what happens with the COVID economy, and they certainly are not waving any incentives around or doing any legwork to attract customers.

21 F-Type R's would be few and far between anywhere in the US.

Jaguar was selling something like 4000+ F-Type cars per year in the US but that dropped to a little over 2000 per year by 2019.

I assume that the sales drop is one thing that prompted Jaguar to modernize the styling. How that will affect sales is unclear because of the virus, but with 21's only having been on sale for a relatively short time, there probably aren't more than 300 21 F-Types in the entire US and maybe half of those are R's..

My local dealer sold their 21's but they do have a Fuji white 20 R coupe at a good discount.
