Things don’t look right so aka Forest Gump......Run!

There are LOADS of cars out there, so don’t buy one which you have doubts about! Take your time and buy right!
Agree totally, LOADS of cars out there.
Also before you spend your money just go and text drive the V6 and the V6s, I felt there was a sharper response with the V6s and normally they are much higher spec.
I use the active exhaust button a lot, so it was a must for me.
Even though you say it's a keeper, resale on the V6s will be easier.

Facebook have a very active F-Type Owners group page. Make sure you join the UK centric one. It has the yellow F-Type as it’s current page header with the cartoon character saying ‘banana’. Post an advert listing your requirements. Sadly, some enthusiast owners are having to sell. You might get lucky.

You local LE Jaguar main dealer has a very good reputation in the Jaguar community. Call them or pop in & get yourself registered. Again give them your wish list & see what they come up with.

Base V6 can come with everything you’ve asked for. Upgraded seats more difficult but if you buy the right car, you can upgrade down the line. As important is buying a low mileage, well looked after V6 with good provenance. Loads out there.

Best of luck & enjoy the process. Plenty of time before Spring 👍

That's interesting, care to elaborate? I've never found it to be of much use so would love to know how/why you use it.

1) I want dynamic mode but not the noise, often when the wife is in the car, or on a long journey.
2) I am on a gentle country drive enjoying the open top motoring on a crisp clear days like yesterday. On my own in the car and want the sound but not dynamic performance.
3) On a road that resonates sound i.e. tunnels but dynamic mode isn't practical.
4) I guess if you want to do a track day and noise limits are tight.
The fact it's standard on the V6s, why wouldn't I want it?
