Hi!
Love the colour, I have only had mine for a couple of months so can’t comment on reliability or issues as haven’t come across any yet.
From what I have seen and heard, look after it and it will look after you.

The F-Type is my 4th Jag and all of them have proved to be no less reliable than any other make I've had, and more reliable than some! The myth of Jaguar unreliability is usually held by people who think Jaguar is still in the bad old British Leyland days, and have probably never even ridden in, let alone owned, a modern one. When I my bought first jag back in 2007 (a 2001 XK8) I kept my Nissan Almera as a backup for when the Jag was being repaired - since then it usually does about 20 miles a year to be serviced and MOTed. I don't think my experience is unique, though, just keep on top of the maintenance and your only expense will be fuel and tyres!

The main downside to F-Type ownership is the aching face from grinning so much! :)
