Should you buy one?

To say this is not the outright best sports coupe money can buy is not a damning criticism – the level of talent in this sector of the market is remarkable, with rivals including Porsche’s 718 Cayman and 911 Coupe, as well as other extremes such as the Aston Martin Vantage and Alpine A110.

Most of its competition is smaller and mid-engined and this, together with the handsome good looks of the Jaguar’s front-engined silhouette, marks the F-Type out as something distinctively and attractively old school. The sensible choice is the P300, partially because of the price and partially because it’s the sharpest handler. If you can stretch to a V8, we’d certainly consider it for the noise and improved performance.

What we like

The F-Type’s ride and handling balance is terrific. Soft enough to be comfortable but firm enough to have some fun, it’s something you could really live with every day. V8 models are quick and sound great, while the boot is bigger than on some rivals.

What we don’t like

The interior is starting to feel its age and isn’t as plush as you might hope for the money. It’s also more cramped for taller drivers than a number of rivals, isn’t particularly efficient and is about to go out of production. Sadly, they won’t build another.
