Default The Manual Jaguar F-Type S Ruined Other Cars For Me

What you are looking at may be my favorite new car I’ve driven to date: the 2017 Jaguar F-Type S Coupe. It’s luxurious. It’s powerful. It will provide hours of joy trying to nail the perfect downshift, as it comes with three pedals as God intended sports cars to have. Look at it. If that’s not drop-dead gorgeous to you, you need to get your eyes checked.

"it comes with three pedals as God intended sports cars to have."

Amen to that!

Schrader nailed it, pros and cons. I'm hoping to fix the spongy shifter issue.

It's also as God intended, without side skirts (IMHO).

I can't argue with the article - except for preferring the convertible. I hope the comments section is right about the depreciation - not that I plan on selling mine anytime soon.

I've usually aspired to something better (and of course cost-no-object) no matter what I was driving at the moment. But yesterday it occurred to me that with my manual F-type, there isn't anything else I really want, except maybe in a few years the next version of the same car with an added option or two.
