I've been so impressed with the F-Type that now it's time to replace our SUV and having test driven the BMW and others, I've had a test drive in the F-Pace today and I must say that I like it a lot.
For me the only two downsides are the size (and there is rumoured a smaller E-Pace coming) and the name, but the car drives very well indeed and for the money, it's going to kick most of the competition's butt.
No wonder Jaguar are building new facilities in Coventry, they are going to need them.
I say do it! I think the F pace is a great looking SUV. If I could afford one, I'd run that and my F Type for sure!
Not sure the Electric car appeals to me, especially because most of my driving is long range
Can always de badge the F Pace logo ;)

I sat in the F-pace on Brighton seafront last Sunday. The size feels about right to me, smaller than a Range Rover but big enough for 5 people, (probably similar to a BMW X5). And the pricing is very attractive even though there are no discounts. Also it does look like a Jag. One of my work colleagues has recently ordered one, after saying 'I'm just going to have a look as I might be interested in changing my evoque later next year'............he was completely smitten after seeing and driving it apparently!
Like all car manufacturers the bread a butter volume models fund the exotics, so perhaps the F type is only the beginning for Jaguar. Maybe the CX75 from the Bond film will be in the showrooms one day?

The order has been placed for the 2.0d AWD Portfolio version. With a 7-8 month waiting list and with prices due to increase on 13th June, it was time to at least put down a refundable deposit.
Now for the name calling, 'East Winger 2 Jags'. I can see it now so I'm going to put the car in my wife's name
Well, funny you should say that Steve. We are torn between the Racing Italian Red to match the F-Type or the Blue. I did like the advertised blue, but apparently that's only for the limited initial orders.
As well as the blind spot detectors, I've also added the 360 surround camera system because it's so wide, parking could be tricky in town. Apparently the self park is a gimmick because it's so slow.
I hear tell they are selling like hot cakes...The dealer in Carlisle said they had sold their entire quota for 2016. What kind of waiting list is there?
