Being late forties I would say I sit pretty much in the average demographic for this car.

I would say it is a mid life crisis, except that I think I can identify at least four other crises on that basis starting from my early 20's

 

I'm 30 years old. A Creative Director at an ad agency. Never really considered a Jag before the F Type. Was a fan of the XFR though.
Had a 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo before this for 2 years. Still have my 2005 Subaru WRX STi for winter.

Have a 2015 F Type R. White. Glass Roof. Black Pack. Microsuede/alcantara interior. All options except for carbon ceramic.

 

66.5 always regretted not buying a good used E Type in '80's.

 

Me too.

 

68 and retired after a very long career at IBM. I always have admired E-Types. I've owned many different cars over the years. I am currently shopping for a 2016 F-Type with a manual transmission.

I also tinker with old cars and own a 67 Hemi GTX.

 

Now is the time to place your order for the six speed. Dealers are already running out of their allocations for close-in months on those cars.

 

Thank you for the tip.

 

22, own IT company (Web / App Development) in Scotland. Recently purchased a Firesand V6S Convertible after unfortunately writing off my Audi R8 and fancied a change.
So it looks like I'm doing my bit to lower the demographic although one of the great things about the F-Type is I don't think it has a set demographic.

 

The significant variable is not how old the owners are, but how old they feel. I'm guessing that's represented in a fairly narrow bell curve peaking somewhere around adolescence.

 

Based on how often I purposely give it excess gas and let off so it sets off the barrage of fireworks and then giggle at my girlfriend, I would say you are correct.

 

I'd recommend you eat less beans then!

 

Joke about beans and gas...
I can confirm this user is old.

 

67, retired. I've had 3 Vettes, a Porsche 912, 3 chrome bumper MGBs, and a Daimler Dart (SP 250). Looked hard at the new Vette, and was eligible for a supplier discount through my company, but I don't like the body. 2016 coupe on order for late December delivery. Merry Christmas!

 

51 with a 20 year old son who is a car nut from age 2. Got me deeper into the sickness 6 years ago. Have progressively got more sporty cars the last 10 years as I have just decided I want to have some fun in life. Not about midlife it's about living life.

 

56. Veterinarian. I've owner 20+ Jaguars, even some at the same time! I usually don't buy new, but when the F-type came out, I was smitten, then the MT tipped me over the edge. I think this car will be a keeper; definitely not a daily driver, but a Sunday or date-night car. I can't wait until it arrives!

 

How can you possibly deny yourself the joy of driving this car on a daily basis? I commute 60+ miles/day with the F-Type and it's still not enough.

 

63 but I live my life according to the words of Shimon Peres who said "A man may feel as old as his years, yet as young as his dreams.". No mid life crisis just a love for performance vehicles including motorcycles that are within my modest means. I fell in love with the F-Type coupe while in the hunt for a used (I.e. affordable?) Aston Martin V8 Vantage. Decided the AM upkeep was too expensive for me and was so!d on the F when they announced the MT. Loving it and glad it's not common like all the Vettes and Porsches on the roads where I drive.

 

I'm 36 now, but was 35 when I ordered mine in June this year, still about a month's wait... oh yeah, I work in IT as an infrastructure architect.

I've always considered Jags nice cars, even more so since the XF, but still felt it's rather for the more matured ;-) Coming from a BMW 330Ci (e46) the XE and F-Type caught my eye for being ready and more fit for the younger... finally something worth parting from my beloved Bimmer I had now for over 12 years. Actually handing it over this week to the new, second owner :-(

However, I suppose the growl of the Cat will help me get over it quickly! :-D

 

I know what you mean about the BMW 330Ci (E46). It's why I did not get rid of mine as of this point. Love my BMW although I find I can't drive it too soon after driving the F-Type as I now feel the difference in performance. If I let it go in the future I'll need to find it a good home!
