Default Interested in F-Type R

I've owned 67 corvette, 71 corvette, 1984 GTI, Couple 89-92 acura legends, 94 BMW 540, 04 Audi S4, 2010 Subaru STI, 2015 Audi S7 and 2019 Miata. And these are only my "fun" cars. Many others in the mix.
So obviously i've sampled a fair amount, but my absolute favorites were the S4, Miata, GTI in that order. So now i've become smitten by the looks and power of the F-Type R AWD. I'm not crazy about the 2021 front end styling, and it seems the best values are in the 2016-17's. So i'm shopping. But I wonder if I will love the "toss-able-ness" of the F as compared to my 3 favorites, or hate the pot-hole tire and wheel eating habits and heavyness of the S7. It will be a weekend car, but I like reliability of a daily.
I also like to do my own wrenching as long as good how-to's exist.
Any feedback and advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Forums.

The F Type Tech Section will have plenty of suggestions.
Lots of answers in the Stickies at the top of that same section.

Good luck.

Welcome to the forums RAWONE,

Good to have you with us.

I can see you've already found your way to the F-Type forum so there's no need for a link to it from me. You can also use the US Northeast Region forum by following this link https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/us-northeast-35/ to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
