After spending 6 months or so looking for testimonials, watch-outs, advices (and other rants) from this forum, I decided to take the plunge and got myself a MY 2017 F-Type V6S Convertible
What sane person would buy a convertible in December, in Switzerland!
35k KM, all services done by Jaguar, great condition... except a dead battery (but I was already prepared, I knew a lot more than the dealership... ahem)... and 3 months later the squeaky exhaust issue just poped up, I recon...
Other than that, even if it's not the V8, it does bring all the child in me and I must remain careful in any tunnels that I may cross, not to be tempted
Was tempted by a 400 convertible as well but its history was less convincing... too bad, but better safe than sorry!
Other than that, had to sold a GR Yaris to make room for the Jag' - it was an amazing pocket rocket but had to move out from my "mountains" to the city... it did not deserve that! Had a 987.2 Cayman S in the past... and currently also drive a Skoda Enyaq for shopping because yeah... I still need to carry more than a pack of green beans (silence can be nice).
Anyway, after those, I needed something properly noisy again (whilst we still can) and a convertible to enjoy the scenery and the sound..
That's it! Thanks to current and past contributors to this forum, this is truly a fantastic source of knowledge
Already took it on a snow track day earlier this month - very predictable, even with all electronics aids off (well, not sure if was truly off but still):
Truly terrifying amazing roads indeed! That was such a blast. Would not be doing the same with the F-Type, that's for sure
You are obviously already familiar with our F-Type forum so no need for a link to it from me. You are in the right part of the World to enjoy the F-Type. Last time I was level with the cloud like that was emerging from Mont Blanc tunnel on the road down to Aosta driving something considerably larger!
If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Hello, Ken,
Congratulations on your new F-type Jaguar!
V-6 is nothing to sneeze at. I drove one of those for several years, not Jag, but every time I stuck my foot in it I was Pleasantly Surprised!
