It's a GT car and feels like it. The looks, obviously, blow away any Porsche. Can't wait to put the top down and listed to those noises in the summer.
The more you drive the Jaguar the more deeply you will appreciate its character. The percentage of Jaguar owners who have more than one Jaguar is very high - these cars (meaning Jaguars) become almost an obsession. They combine true elegance (a simplicity of line), classic beauty, attention to detail (do you like the discreet Jaguar name on the air vent chrome? Have you noticed that the Start button awaits your attention, visibly imitating the resting heart beat of a Jaguar in the wild?), driving excitement, luxury and exclusivity…and these are the characteristics of almost any Jaguar model ever built. Be prepared to spend hours just looking at it. This obsession doesn’t get old. I write this after spending 3.5 hours detailing my 2006 S-Type 4.2 - fun!

@sov211 I resemble that remark. I also have an S-Type and F-Type. I get a sore neck just walking down my driveway. Haves spent may ours detailing the S. Can't wait for better weather to get out and polish up the newest addition. It's going to be a fun summer!

Interesting that you traded your Z4 M40i for a Jag. I just did the same thing this week. I had a 2020 bmw Z4 M40i that had 19.5k miles on it. While I loved this car, I had itch for a new vehicle. I saw a 2021 Jag F type R coupe or sale at a local dealer so I checked it out. It only had 25k miles and two and half years left on the warranty (original plus the CPO warranty) Two hours later, I had traded my Z for the Jag.

I love the Jag but I do miss the bimmer. It was a bit more "fun" to toss around, however the 575 ponies in the jag gives me a thrill, even if I will rarely use all that power.

Enjoy your new toy! I'm loving mine!!

23 P450 R-Dynamic AWD in Carpathian Grey with tan/tan Windsor leather interior
Amazing price for a real beauty. Carpathian Grey look great with the Gyrodyne wheels.
