Hi all, I'm Daniel from San Diego.

I bought it online on a whim and I'm waiting for it to be delivered. I'm going from a Kia Optima hybrid to a 2017 Jaguar F-Type V6 and I'm pretty excited about it. I was supposed to get it today but it was delayed until the middle of next week.

Started watching YouTube videos and I'm super disappointed that I don't have the Active Exhaust button. I'm trying to figure out if the Dynamic Mode button does basically the same thing.

I don't see sunglasses storage in the overhead console. Where am I going to store them?

 

Do you intend to use the cupholders in the central console?
If not then you can do as I have done to make a very handy storage cubby for my sunglasses - I pulled the cupholder insert out (just yank it straight up, a tight fit but doable) and then lined the cavity with a spare piece of black car carpet cut to shape.
Works great and free/cheap!
However if you do intend to use the cupholders you need to find another solution, I think there is a thread around here somewhere about it.

 

I need the cup holders. I already ordered the silicone cup inserts.

Maybe I will end up using something like this...

 

I am waiting on this... I thought it was black but it's listed as "Storm Grey-Premium"

Welcome to the forums Daniel,

I store sunglasses in my desk drawer. Umbrella straps in the vehicle are more important in my part of the World.

Hello, Daniel,
Congratulations on your new Jaguar F-type!
Welcome to the forums from ElinorB.

welcome to the forum - enjoy!!

 

Welcome aboard Daniel.

 

2017 Jaguar F-Type V6. Pulled it off the lot and was expecting the engine to sound amazing. Got on the freeway and gave it some gas. Engine sounds like crap! Check engine light came on.

I owned a Jaguar for about 20 minutes before returning it. Super disappointed! They said they wouldn't give me my trade-in back but I fought them on it and got it back.

 

I assume the engine sounded different when you took the car for a thorough test drive?

What did the independent mechanic who performed your comprehensive Pre-Purchase Inspection say about the engine light?

 

I bought it online from Carvana. It was the first time driving it. They have a 7 day return policy. I returned it immediately. It was definitely not supposed to sound like that.

 

I decided to go with the 2017 F-Type V8 AWD R in white w/ Black interior.

 

You can expect all sorts of problems buying a car sight unseen and without a PPI, especially a sports car that may or may not have been flogged halfway to death. Good luck.

 

Oh yeah, I'm going to tear this thing up. Won't be drivable after I'm done with it.

 

Gents,
This is the new members area which is intended for introductions only.
Please move to the tech section for further discussions.

 

I'm just going to leave. Thanks!

 

Hello, Daniel,
Congratulations on Vanquishing that Dragon!!
I hope it goes better this time.
