I think there's actually 4 "modes" for the exhaust valves, the one you've missed is when you're in dynamic mode with the gear in "sport" mode and shifting with the paddles, it "pops and bangs" a lot more than when just in dynamic with automatic shifts, great video, love to see this beatiful car getting some attention

From my limited experience with my F-Type R so far, Sport mode only impacts the shifting behavior allowing you to control the RPMs. The "manual" shifting does impact the pops and bangs, but entirely based on RPMs and backpressure. At a dig, I've noticed no difference in exhaust between Sport mode and "normal" mode. In dynamic mode it's obnoxious either way, in all the right ways (which your neighbors may or may not agree with). :)

if you manually change gears with paddles then it perhaps revs up as in 370z with manual so you can hear it from the exhaust

Thanks for taking the time to pull these 10 features into a great video. I've had my 2015 F-Type R since May 21, 2014 - it was one of the first batch in the USA. I'm a multiple Jag fanboy (XKR, XJR) and I went over to the UK for a full factory tour the same year.

You're the first one to show what the different exhaust modes sound like. Thank you! Most of the other videos only record the great sound when they get on it and then decelerate. Yes, it absolutely sounds awesome! But, I do want to sometimes get out of the neighborhood early and not wake the neighbors in the process.

Great points. I use the front parking radar where there are low curbs, it's kept the front end safe. Also worth noting that the oil check is a bit of a process as no dipstick so must use the vehicle electronic check system, especially important after servicing as too often, too much oil is added.

@kurtbilinski1723

Жыл бұрын

Regarding the front parking radar, it only works with walls or other high objects. If you drive up to a low curb, like a wheel stop, it's too low for the sensors to "see", and it stops beeping. Learned that one the hard way.

question how long are you planning on keeping the car?

Familiar with most of these, as an F-Type S driver. The front park assist will only SOMETIMES recognise the curb and sometimes not. So I don't rely on it. LOL. Took 10 minutes, the first time in my garage, inching forwards, getting out, lying flat to eyeball the bump at the back of the garage, to make sure the car cleared it AND that the tires hit it, before the nose hits the back wall :) I've been practising "Oh no, Officer. I reprogrammed the spoiler to deploy at 60mph instead of 70mph".

Enjoying your F-Type videos... brought home my ‘17 R Coupe (white) yesterday and am loving the learning curve. What a great car (at least in the honeymoon phase!). Ahywho... thanks for putting these together. We should do a South Central US F-Type meet!

@rusty rose that is a terrific idea! Where abouts are you from?

I have an F-Type here in the UK, enjoyed your video, thank you. My experience with the pop up spoiler is slightly different. It pops up over 73mph and retracts at just over 50mph. I can extend and retract using the button as much as I want unless I am over 50mph in which case if I extend it I cannot retract until I reduce the speed to 50mph. I sometimes give a little wave to the person behind me in stopped traffic :-) This is a fun car not for economy or utility, just fun, enjoy and watch others looking as you pass 'em by.

I almost always park back first, and the backup camera/sensor system is automatic, and very reliable. Pro tip- EVERY time I go to a gas station/convenience store, I park at a pump, whether I'm getting gas or not. No door dings, no curbs, no terrible "other's" parking to contend with (if someone parks close on the driver side, getting in and out is damn near impossible) and it would take a total catastrophe for someone to ding it at a pump.
