Hi All, I'm currently in an M2 thats 4 years old. I don't do the mileage in it any more and the kids have moved out, so am looking for a new car. I have pretty much decided on an F-type convertible with the V8 engine.
I have a few questions - hopefully someone can help me out as i know very little about the F-Type
1) Is there anything specific to watch out for on a 2015 (ish) V8?
2) Are heated seats standard, as most adverts i've seen don't mention them? For the colder months i love driving my wifes mini roadster with the top down and heated seats on
3) Any must have extras - this will be my main car, although i don't use it much during the week as i commute on the train 2 days a week and WFH the other 3.
4) In car entertainment - what should i look for? Are there any 3rd party upgrades that enable carplay as this is one thing i will probably miss from my m2
Hello and a few questions
Make sure there is no transmission whine, diffs have been known to grow a whine until it gets loud enough to replace it.
Extended warranty might pay off. Good service history is as important as ever.
I recommend a rear camera and preferably front parking sensors.
Check for heated seats by looking at the aircon temperature knobs.
If you find a car, ask on here with the details for some history information. There are a few rogues about.

Great - thanks for the replies, i'm going to look at a couple at dealers this weekend. See what I like and what i don't.
I really want the V8, but suspect i may end up with a V6 as they are more in my price range.

Must haves for me when looking to buy were
Performance seats with heating
Meridian Stereo
Heated seats
Powerfold mirrors (I have a single garage)
Front parking sensors
Luckily I found a car with all these plus much more
Don't discount a V6S without driving one

MY14 3.0S Convertible. Polaris White with black hood, Black pack, Design pack, 20" Cyclones, Red performance heated seats, heated flat bottom steering wheel, Meridian sound system, plus lots more
By "base" do you mean the Jaguar one, or the Meridian non Surround? I'm quite happy on the rare occasions I turn on my Meridian 380W system.
