Thanks for the feedback. I have owned over 50 cars over the years including many German and British ones. I am currently driving a Tesla which has been great over the past 3 years, but when I bought mine they were fairly rare where I live here in Canada, but now they are EVERYWHERE. I feel that I am driving a Widget and as a car guy, I don't like that. I am considering the F-Pace as my next car. I will probably go for the P400 as the premium gas prices here are now pushing $8 CDN per gallon. Looking forward to getting back into a luxury ride.

Still have it. It’s been reliable but I’ve only got 15k miles. It had the front knuckles replaced there was some bad factory batch.

Regarding exhaust. Put ignition on before starting, press exhaust button to on, then disconnect the the leads from solenoid by the rear mufflers. This then keeps the exhaust valves fully open permanently and stops them shutting off when on overrun etc enabling reinstalling the pops and bangs from the previous generation SVR. The valves on the new Svr still shut off emissions even with the loud exhaust button on. Easy fix no need to pay for aftermarket exhaust’s.

Can't agree more, I got the same model as you and have been driving it for 7 months. Also want to add some points from my experience. 1. I really don't like how they designed the rear bumper, it looks too simple and too cheap to be an SVR, the rear bumper on P400 looks much better than this. 2. This is a heavy car, it should equip with bigger brakes. 3. The sound system compare to his comparators is terrible ( B&O, Burmester)， The treble is not clear and the bass is sloppy. *4*.Shopping is a pain for me because the SVR model doesn't have the foot kick to open the tailgate, and the tailgate doesn't have a close and lock button. So when I came to the car with my daily necessities in both hands, I needed to put down the bag and then open the tailgate. After I went home and took out the goods, I closed the tailgate first and then walked to the side of the car to lock the car or take out the key to lock it. 5. The headlight is dim, however, the pixel LED headlight is not available in North America. 6. the ambient light is boring, too light and the lower foot area only has white colour, why? 7. It's hard to believe that in 2021, Jaguar still doesn't have lane centring feature, very unfriendly for lone distance driving.

When you spec the car yourself you can select reclining seats and rear-seat release levers, they’re actually really cheap too so not sure why they aren’t standard. I’m guessing you bought this pre-built… the dealer didn’t tick all the boxes you maybe would have. Sorry - I’m partly wrong, the power recline isn’t available, but the release levers are. You have the gap behind the seats since recline is available on the standard car. My guess is the race-style seats means that some of the side or shoulder bolsters might rub and burn the motor out… style over substance maybe?

I do select eco occasionally. Comfort is fine most of the time, but in more congested city street driving the programing for the transmission and throttle response are a bit too much. The car wants to move quickly and as it goes through higher revs beyond +2500 and then over 3k, it really picks up... that is great I love the sound and it's fun; but what the car doesn't realize is i'm stopping again in 100ft because of a traffic light or another car. And now because it has picked up speed, you need to slow down quicker. Eco is more tame for that kind of driving environment.

They replaced both and no problems since (apparently a TSB for that so they knew immediately)

I’m waiting for my svr, just got in before the tech crunch with a week 51 build date. I chose every option incl svo paint - the rear seat release levers in trunk are optional.

I’ve had the AJV8 in my F-Type R since new in 16, when I needed a dad wagon for the newborn, there was no other option, that engine in a sea of neutered opf turbo v8’s and hybrids/ev’s needs to be enjoyed while it’s still around.

I did a review with smokingtire guys: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZGmOmKaInbK0d5M.html that pretty much sums it up. I honestly can't really fault the Kia; at no point did it not work perfectly. It just lacked some edge... something to put it over the top. Now that Golf R... I do miss that one. I would have loved to keep it if I could juggle cars around. I also had an SRT Magnum before the Golf. It is funny the Kia and the Magnum feel more similar to one another; while the Golf and the Jag are more similar.

It's beautiful. Did you shop the Rover SVR? I own the Range Rover Sport SC, 510HP. I feel about it as you feel about the Jag.
I too ordered the car with summer P-ZEROS: highly recommended! All seasons are no seasons. Pirelli Scorpions are now mounted for Tahoe snow use. The car is amazing!
Not all "all-seasons" are made equally
@@ELP1125 Check!
In 2121, factory tire choices for Jag F-Pace SVR's were limited to Pirelli JLR labeled tires. My '24 came with Pirelli all seasons, so I'll see how they work. I still have dedicated Scorpios winter tires which I will use this winter.
you can release the back seats if you have the cargo space practicality pack
You are absolutely right. Damn I missed that option.
Great review and wonderful car! Do you have any reliability issues so far?
So i've gotten a close inspection on 4 other F Pace SVR now. Definitely some trim alignment issues around each car. Mine had a trim piece on the front pop out; but dealer took care of it. I noticed at low speeds turning left or right I could hear a slight pop sound like i had a rock in my tread, turned out bad wheel bearings/knuckles. They replaced both and no problems since (apparently a TSB for that so they knew immediately)
I’m waiting for my svr, just got in before the tech crunch with a week 51 build date. I chose every option incl svo paint - the rear seat release levers in trunk are optional. Also the rear seats in regular f pace recline, hence the trunk trim cutouts. I’ve had the AJV8 in my F-Type R since new in 16, when I needed a dad wagon for the newborn, there was no other option, that engine in a sea of neutered opf turbo v8’s and hybrids/ev’s needs to be enjoyed while it’s still around. Enjoy mate
You are right, i should have called out that for the NA market those features are not available. I've heard in others they are. I wonder why the SVR seats don't recline in the back if the cutouts are there.
Glad you’re sticking with the brand!
@@esteban75lover23 not for lack of trying. Audi refused to build me an exclusive interior (they only approved exclusive paint) due to all the backlogs of orders I assume. Interior on rs6 in standard black or tan just doesn’t feel special enough for the money imo. My order got pushed back to my23 (2023 build) so I ordered the svr in interim
@@samcas707 ah, well. I think you will be disappointed with the engine and exhaust of the rs6 after the SVR! Both are great cars.
@@esteban75lover23 I already ordered a full akrapovic exhausted and eventuri intake to sort the sound - our market cars have the opf filters which need to be deleted. But yes having to spend 20k on parts and tune to sort sound when svr sounds perfect off the showroom floor
Gorgeous! I’ve been subbed since your Golf R. Did you go from Golf to F Pace?
Thank you andrew. No so i've had a kia stinger gt2 last 3 years. I for some reason never published my review on that car but just went ahead and made it public on youtube. I did a review with smokingtire guys: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZGmOmKaInbK0d5M.html that pretty much sums it up. I honestly can't really fault the Kia; at no point did it not work perfectly. It just lacked some edge... something to put it over the top. Now that Golf R... I do miss that one. I would have loved to keep it if I could juggle cars around. I also had an SRT Magnum before the Golf. It is funny the Kia and the Magnum feel more similar to one another; while the Golf and the Jag are more similar.
@@scharnscharnhorst7626 ha- I am literally considering all of those cars right now for my next car (including the fpace svr). One wildcard - I recently test drove an ipace and loved it. Put a grin on my face. Crazy that I’m simultaneously considering an old school v8 and an EV… Really strange about the lack of reclining seats and folding levers in the rear…
@@richardh3587 I like the I-Pace, they are kind of rare here in a sea of teslas. I will say the Jag fuel consumption wise can be a little jaw dropping at times. I think my first tank I got around 9-10mpg and I thought that had been outlawed... and I was taking it easy while burning it in. I will say it has gotten much better overtime, i get between 18-22mpg now which I think is far more reasonable.
I know that this video is really old but I'm just wondering where did you buy those shift paddles?
Hah it has been awhile but I still remember: www.s2tpp.com/VW.html
@@scharnscharnhorst7626 Thank you so much!!
Just bought a 2016 with 45k miles. Hows your R holding up 4 years later?
Unfortunately I sold it, and I do miss it a lot. They hold their value so when someone offered me 33k for it with 17k miles... and coupled with the fact I only really drove it on the weekends when I could. The reality is my commute is pretty heavy traffic each day in LA and the R just is not meant for that, and I felt a disservice each time I would subject it to that. I went with a Kia stinger gt, which has been a more comfortable cruiser. It is NOT the golf r.
@@scharnscharnhorst7626 They definitely hold their value, especially ones with under 50k miles as I am well aware haha. Would you say the stinger is a better commuter than the R and that the R is a better weekend ride/ better overall sports car? Just curious on your thoughts.
@@statrap122 yes absolutely. The stinger will eat miles up like it is nothing. V6 has plenty of punch around town and at speed. The 8 speed is very smooth, which is great in traffic, and coupled with adaptive cruise you basically can set and forget. However, I have some of the best canyon driving around me where Porsche everyone takes their cars and the stinger is nowhere near the R there. More body roll which is expected, no dsg which you feel, and especially in undulating corners the stinger becomes... hard to describe but loose. So you don’t carry the same confidence.
You're absolutely right about the R inspiring confidence, especially in turns.
