Default Need help deciding

First post, so hello all. I've been stalking around here for a few weeks as I've done my research. I'm curious for the opinion of those on the board between two F Types I'm eyeing.


Which of these is more appealing to you and why? I have my preference but in an effort to keep things neutral, I'll keep my opinion to myself for now.


Used 2015 Jaguar F-TYPE S For Sale in Houston TX | Stock: TF8K21752


Used 2016 Jaguar F-TYPE 2DR CPE AT PREMIU in Tacoma SAJWA6AT1G8K29366


Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
Does it really matter what the rest of us think? My advice is to go for whichever you prefer. Your first inclination is usually the right one.

Well...

You're getting more grunt for your money with the S, but std seats and no switch on the exhaust.
Base has lower mileage, nicer seats, switchable active exhaust and is a year newer.

Depends what *your* priorities are.

Pass - your choice!

They may have changed it from MY to MY. The 'S' may have had Active Exhaust but not the switch as std in 15 - I can't remember? Anyway, the switch ain't there in the pic.

Or maybe somebody stuck fake 'S' badges on the car, and its really a base(!).

Go for the "S"- extra power comes in handy, but I would test drive both and see what you prefer

The base car, but just barely.
If you care about performance, go for the s. It 'feels' faster.
I think the base model here ends up looking better though from the interior, which is where youll spend most of your time.

Thanks for the feedback all. I was leaning toward the base, but honestly was curious if I was missing some great, must-have feature that I would miss out on.


I would love an S, but I feel like in this instance, in my price range, this base is the better option.


Wish I had the funds to just go purchase the perfect F Type, but maybe someday when I'm older I can buy a perfect G Type. Haha.

I obviously misunderstood. I thought you were warning him off a specific F-Type with a jaded past.(Stohlen's first one to be precise, but that was an R)
