Default Washington Post F-Type review

The 2014 Jaguar F-Type coupe: Pure, impractical fun - The Washington Post

Pretty funny review from an otherwise staid newspaper. Some quotes...

The F-Type is a "motorized bauble".

"The car ... is necessary only in the sense that fine art, music, dance, drama, poetry and good novels are necessary. You don’t need them. But your life would be pitifully poor in their absence."

"Don’t drive if you are in a witness-protection program. You will be noticed, maybe followed."

Thanks for posting this review.. the Post writer's command of language and writing style certainly is a cut above the blather I usually have to read in the 'average' newspaper, although I guess the Washington post does have that reputation.

Great article but it is a shame the writer didn't use the "R" specs for the V8.
It would have been even more impressive for those reading.
