Great looking car. Can it be had without the "infotainment" and navigation?

I went to a launch event for the F Type Coupe a few years ago, in the wine country of the Amador foothills outside Sacramento. The car was gorgeous to look at and a gas to drive.
The sales manager laughed out loud when I said, "Man, those are some bodacious Tatas!" (Hard to imagine that the company that owns Jaguar produces trucks you see throughout India with "Horn, Please!" painted on their tailgates.) Unfortunately, there's only one dealership in my sleepy little college town that sells BMW, MB and Volvo. There are also Ford, Chevy, Mopar, Totota, etc. Without local service, I just can't bring myself to consider Jaguar, Porsche, Audi, Lexis, Acura, Alfa, Maserati... |

It's not the fastest but still exhilarating. And it does sound incredible. Really sounds more like a V8 and that wail when you get on it, OMG. Very beautiful car. I nearly bought a CPO one but felt I needed a back seat. I kept trying to tell myself I didn't lol.

I know what you mean, it definitely can't be a first car as it's not practical at all if you need room for stuff. It is however a very good second or third car if you want to cruise or nice Sunday drive..

Thank you, yes it looks much bigger and wider than the F30 being all aluminum body and all but it doesn't drive like it's so heavy. And the looks and that sound

The Contour wasn't a bad car -- in fact, I had one in the late 'nineties and it was a comfortable, great handling car that was kind of a sleeper -- but there was no way a few different parts would make it a British car. |

F-type coupe
Ali,
Congratulations on such a beautiful car...!! Definitely one of the BEST looking coupes on the road. Congrats on switching to something different!! I agree with you, this generation of F-gen 3 series and 4 series was a big disappointment. Beautiful car!! JESM. |

I love the car but am generally speaking spooked by their long standing and well justified reputation on reliability.
Jag makes BMW look like Toyota in terms of reliability....but I really love the looks of their cars What sort of warranty did they give you and what are they going to give you when its in the shop for work? |

Thank you and appreciate it. I struggled to leave the brand for the Jag but at the end of the day the choice was to go with the same old interior design or dare to go to something more special. Not regretting it at all
