Nzoner's Game Room>Anyone Here Drive A Jaguar?
philfree 02:22 PM 01-23-2021
I've always wanted a Jag and then with my new house unbelievably my 4 door Silverado wouldn't fit in my side of the garage. So I sold it and now I need to buy a car or a smaller truck. The wife drives a Tahoe so we're covered if it snows or need to haul a trailer. So I'm leaning sports car. I've had a Mustang 5.0, a Camaro Z-28, a Vette and a couple Cadillacs. Had '79 Ford Thunderbird with a 351. My wife mentioned getting a BMW but I was like okay but I've always wanted Jaguar.

I'm looking at a 2017 F-Type Convertible



Anybody have any experience with Jaguars?

I absolutely love the car. The car has superb handling, great acceleration and and is extremely comfortable.
I've driven it for two years and I've had one issue with it, which ended up costing me about $4K to fix. The brake rotors have a tendency to glaze over and I ended up having to have all of them replaced. The car had 25K miles on it.
My Chevy Avalanche has 267K miles on it and I think I've spent maybe $6K on repairs on it during that entire time.
You have to pay to play.

So far they has been my only out of pocket expense with the car.
I test drove Audi, Porsche,BMW and kept coming back to the Jag.
To me, I just felt better driving it than the others

$4k to replace the brake rotors...? :-)

No, but I've ridden a cougar once or twice

that was the other big reason for me turning away from the jag.

Like a supermodel - very beautiful to look and drive, but the maintenance will kill you.

Uh, yeah, I would imagine. $2k for rotors would still be absurdly high, but that wouldn't surprise me. But $4k...I feel like a crime was committed there. And at that mileage no less. Is this something you're going to have plan on doing every 25k miles?

I sure as heck hope not.
I figure I’ll retire in the next year and will probably end up trading the car in on a Silverado. Go back to driving a truck again as I’ll need something to haul lumber on for my retirement honey do list

I traded my Ferrari in on a truck. It's much easier on the knees at my age. :-)

I'm still following along. The brake issue seems kind of strange. Sounds like more of an issue than brake wear. Sounds like it should have been a warranty issue.
