Have you thought about fitting a VAP exhaust. Lots of US owners swear by (not at!) them. ;)

Well, I got round to checking and all my ambient lights change to the same colour, including the inner door handles.

I have a P340 R-Dynamic MY20 and the handles also don't change color for me and I have the configurable ambient lighting.

Maybe it's a V8 feature?

I specced the ambient lighting on my first F-type and didn't bother with the second, because I thought it was rubbish. Unfortunately all the backlighting for the the controls had a blueish tinge to them which made the whole thing look a mess when anything other than blueish ambient lighting was selected.

Agreed and I regret it too because the blue one looks the best anyway and I would have preferred that they stayed blue in Dynamic if not all lights turn red anyway.

My F-type has sat in the garage for several weeks now, due to too much else going on. Took it for a spirited drive today, and remembered this thread.
Tried to figure out what I did not like, but could not find anything 😄
It's a MY15 made in 2014, and I have had it since early 2015.
It still feels thight, no rattles, loads of power (actually first car that I think has just the right amount of power), very well ballanced, good brakes that are easy to modulate, great comfort for a sportscar, loads of fun, great sound (also in the stereo - no rattles and good quality sound from the 770w system), easy to use satnav without too many unneccessary functions, great seats with great support, lots of leather and nice looking interiour and great looking exteriour!

Quality wise I had a few minor things the two first years (center went would not drop, vertical scratch in side windows and a minor leak in the pinnion seal in the diff), all easilly and quickly fixed by the workshop on warranty. Last two years it has been trouble free.

Only thing I miss is a traditional oil dipstick, but the electronic one work well.

So no - there is actually nothing I dislike with my F-type 😎
