For the year 2015, the Jaguar F-Type has been offered in coupe form. This means that range topping R coupe will be added to the list as well. The R coupe has been offered with various upgraded performances along with a supercharged V8 engine with 550 horsepower.

It does not matter if you are looking forward to have a newly introduced coupe or a convertible, the 2015 Jaguar F-Type is known to have one of the most suggestive shapes on the road today. It has adopted several styling cues from the history of Jaguar and hence the F-Type brings to mind nostalgic feelings with its handsome design. But truth is that 2015 Jaguar F-Type has much more to offer to its users than its looks only.

The attraction towards the car starts with what it has to offer under the hood to its buyers. You are willing to possess a sports car but you are not at all willing to pay for another mortgage in order to get the car then affordable 2015 Jaguar F-Type will serve the purpose really well. Its V6 engine provides acceptable performance to the users. Similarly at the other end V8 R coupe and S roadster offers a tuned exhaust note and warp speed acceleration that comes straight from NASCAR.

It does not matter that which F-Type version you select for you, it will provide you with a smart cabin that is well trimmed with high quality material and attractive upholstery. Several sporty touches are there in the vehicle such as hip hugging seats, contrasting stitching and the flat bottom wheel that is optional but it must be kept in mind that they do not get in to the way of luxuriously interior vibe of the 2015 Jaguar F-Type. The infotainment system of the 2015 Jaguar F-Type is a letdown. It is because it does not offer feature of smart phone connectivity as compared to what is offered by the rivals. Also it can be slower in responding to your inputs.

Added another drawback to the2015 Jaguar F-Type is mundane aspects of the car ownership. The 2015 Jaguar F-Type offers impressive agility through turns but then again the suspension tuning offered by the vehicle makes it little stiff. It has been observed that the vehicle is too stiff when it is driven on poorly maintained roads particularly if it has been installed with optional 20 inch wheels. This feature along with the firm sport seats and daily transpiration via 2015 Jaguar F-Type will not be as comfortable as it is expected of it.

Now the question is that will you really be careful or concerned towards the fiddly touch screen or rough ride when you are capable of driving a vehicle that is good looking in every manner. No doubt the 2015 Jaguar F-Type is sensational and is good enough to ensure that a rating is given to it. Competitors of 2015 Jaguar F-Type, provide same driving experience as offered by the vehicle but at a little higher price.  This list includes the 2015 Porsche Cayman and 2015 BNW M4. The list also includes the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and 2015 Porsche 911. But apart from all these names, we are sure that 2015 Jaguar F-Type will make its place in the competition in an easy manner. It will remain itself as a better option for the car buyers in every sense and manner.


Interior design of the 2015 Jaguar F-Type:
As soon as you will slide in to the driving seat of the 2015 Jaguar F-Type, you will see that there has been no mistake in it and it is completely a sports car seat. Even its base trim gives clues that this vehicle means business paired with well bolstered seats, racy stitching and a beefy passenger grab handle well placed on the center console. Still it’s a Jaguar and this means that the car has top notch materials. Excellent finishing touches like central air vents rising from the dash orange start button and shift paddles add to the cool factor of the car.

Top down motoring is calm at highways while buffeting is kept to acceptable levels. In case the weather turns bad even then the top can be deployed in only 12 seconds moving at 30 mile per hour speed. The coupe offers a confined felling inside, giving a sense more of a cockpit from the driving seat. The optional panoramic sunroof offered by the vehicle offers extra headroom and added airy feel.

Regardless of if you are on the convertible or coupe, the size of the truck is notable. The convertible offers space of 7 cubic feet while coupe has 11 cubes. Medium sized suitcases will be tight while the awkward lift over adds to the complications related to the cargo loading feature.

In short the vehicle offers what is expected of Jaguar by the users and buyers of the vehicle.
