Default Used F-Type convertible

Hello all, I currently have a 2009 Jaguar XF Premium Luxury, as much as I like it, the F-Type has become my dream car. I have found some used v6 base convertibles for a decent price and I am curious to know how the car has held up after 10k miles for everyone? Any big/annoying issues? Also, how do people like the base v6? Is it enough power?

I test drove a base 2015 F coupe today. More is always better but the base 340 hp is more than enough to get into trouble. TC

Foosh is the member to ask. I test drove one (along with R coupe), but was always planning to get the coupe.

Plus, the 340 only loses out to the higher power engine above 5000rpm (and you'll need a large throttle opening to get a measurable difference).

The differential ratio differs between the two models, leading to most of the difference you can feel.

Well I've decided on the base v6 because of how much cheaper it is than the v6s, however if I change my mind I will try contacting you, thanks!

Gotcha, how is the coupe compared to the convertible? If it was up to me I'd rather have the coupe but my girlfriend really wants a convertible
