I see many posts where members are considering changing to a particular car and a variety of comments are typically posted offering thoughts and opinions on the choices; but if you had to give up your F type, what would you get and why?
For me if would have to be either a manual Miata ND or a Cayman S (undecided between manual vs PDK and 6 vs 4 cylinder)
The Miata wins on pure fun in what is really a superb car but I have always been besotted by the Cayman - a car I knew I was going to buy..... before I experienced the F type.

 

Aston Martin V8 Vantage in all likelihood. Or if money were the issue maybe a BMW 1M.

 

It's a really different car, but I am eyeing a Camaro ZL1. The mag ride and alpha platform (amazing steering) have me really intrigued.

 

Miata? How 'bout:

 

I'd hate to give up the F Type especially for a sedan, but the XE is just gorgeous to drive and I think when the SVR comes out it will be amazing. But could I do without having my ego massaged as it does with the F Type? I dont know...

 

Used AMG or Porsche something. Nothing as good looking as the f type out there.

 

McLaren MP4 12C, 570S or R8 V10 for daily driver duty

Ferrari 458 if weekend car only and a cheap daily driver for to and from work

 

I had been considering getting rid of the F-Type for something a little cheaper when the lease is up, so the wife will let me add a 3rd car (something like a new RS3/S4) for all weather use. She recently took a new job, and I can no longer rely on being able to use the RR during the bad winter days. But for the money I can't find anything remotely close to it.

Right now I have a RWD 15R. If I swapped cars to add a 3rd, the new sports car would be required to have a manual. The only 2 cars that I've been considering have been the V8 Vantage or the previous gen R8. The biggest problem is price. The buyout on my Ftype next year is $50k. R8's are still in the high 60's lower 70's for an 09 manual. Vantages are much cheaper in the mid 40s - low 50s for a pre 2008. Mid 60s - low 70s for the 09+ with the revised 4.7L.

So right now i'm leaning towards keeping the V8 Ftype and get an older 'daily' like a B7RS4 / E90 M3.

If used V6S manuals come down in price or if i can score a ridiculous lease on an 18 next year when mine comes due, I might make the swap and then look to get the RS3 or S4.

 

If i had to give mine up I would probably get either a used Lamborghini Gallardo or Porsche GT3.

 

I have done the Porsche thing and did not like it; I need more power and torque. A 4 passenger or 2+2 does not do it for me either. If I had to give up my R, I would probably go back to a Vette, waiting to see what the C8 brings. Or, I might just quit the fun car game altogether.

If I had to give up my 2014 V6S, I'd get...

another 2014-2016 V6S. Nothing else interests me. Hate most of the styling changes on the newer models.

 

I looked for 10 years before I found something I wanted badly. I'm thinking that might not occur again within my lifetime. Another F-type with 8+ cylinders, 7 speed manual, and 400 lbs lighter, could change my mind.

 

you could probably get close to a 400lb weight savings with mods between wheels, brakes, seats, exhaust, roof (if you have the pano roof), a gearbox swap. and getting rid of some of the motors for things like the electric hatch, ac center stack

 

Ferrari California, but then again the amount they cost it opens up a lot of options and then a v8 F-type might be good too!! F-type will be the best car I can afford at the moment but lucky to have it too

 

Me too;

SL63AMG
911
2014-2016 Boxster S

I'd quit driving from being so devastated at the loss of my beloved F-Type.

 

If the F-Type was never made I would not have gotten a second car. I may have gotten the G65 AMG instead of getting my Range Rover Sport. That would cost the same as my F-Type and RRS - combined.

 

AMG-GTS as I think that is the car that for me is the closest to what I was looking for when I found the rwd F-type R.

 

I know what you mean. The F-Type checked all the right boxes for me.

Same..if not GT-S then upgrade to Mclaren 570S.
