I've been thinking about getting an AWD F-type as a daily driver, and it seems like the F-Type S AWD prices get a lot closer to F-Type R prices than I thought (the S build I'm considering is about $98K while the R is about $108K).

So, I'm wondering if anyone who's purchased an AWD F-Type S would care to explain why they didn't spend a bit more to step up to an R?

 

Depends on what you want, alla cart menu. My 2017 R coupe was 116,000.

 

The price of my S wasn't all that far from an R (especially ones that had been sitting on lots for a bit). However, for me it was the exhaust. IMO, and it's just my opinion, the dual center exhaust has a classier look than the quad split exhaust. I honestly don't care about the power difference. I've had much faster/lighter cars in the past.

 

hated the Performance seats in the R. Can't downgrade them. Therefore I bought the most tricked out model I could with Sport seats.

 

Not that you asked the R purchasers, but didn't buy S because couldn't live without the V8 after having it in my XF supercharged.

 

Tho I didn't buy an AWD S, I bought the S over the R strictly for the fact that I wanted a 3rd pedal and a not so common gear shifter in my right hand.
