F TYPE R - AWD / RWD SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON

Jagman100 · Post by **Jagman100** » Mon Jul 20, 2020 9:12 pm

Hi gang, I came across these two videos and found them interesting so thought I would share,

This is meant to be a side by side comparison (not VS as shown it the video title) as both of these cars are fantastic in their own right and there are pluses and negatives for both models,

These are USA cars so may differ in spec slightly,

There has been much debate on here as some prefer RWD and some AWD and I respect that completely as we all have individual taste,

There is no right or wrong decision when buying these cars but they will offer slightly different driving experiences,

This is merely to show those differences in some detail which both owners and prospective buyers might find interesting,

The first video looks mainly at the cosmetic and component differences and the second video gives some driving and handling comparisons...

Posting second video in a few minutes...

Okay so here is the second video looking at driving comparisons...

As I said both of these are fantastic cars and both offer a great driving experience...

Hope you find it interesting...

Kind regards,

Steve

Interesting viewing - thanks for posting.

...just a shame you can't have subtitles and turn the commentary off

I've not experienced the electric steering but have to say, the hydraulic steering on my V6 is sublime.

And although the earlier Performance seats may be firmer they are still very comfortable - did me fine for a trip from Surrey down through Switzerland to just past luzern in one go.

...and you trust what people say that can't even say the word ''Jag - you - are'' correctly

Interesting, thanks for posting, one thing I noticed was what a difference a dry climate makes to the underside of these cars, no comments on underbody corrosion on the my15.

So Arne, the conclusion is, 2015 was the best year ever for the F-Type still being RWD.

I tend to agree
