I had a 5.0NA XF and a now a F-Type S. Both have been very reliable. Cost wise parts are on par with any luxury European vehicle, which isn’t to say the cheapest.

From my experiences, my friends with equiv. German “rivals” generally had more frequent and costlier repairs, which did surprise me. Now with JLR moving away…

I did just that, I cross shopped the Supra, Z4 and a used F-Type S. All were excellent cars, and on paper are very close, but they lacked a feeling I got from the F-Type. Subjective as it may be.

The build quality on the Supra/Z4 interior is what you’d expect from BMW and Toyota, and likewise the quality on the…

My 1992 Dodge Caravan, Old XF and F-Type all have the nozzles on the wipers, so this isn’t a new invention. What does appear to be new and quite nice is the amount of nozzles, which should helped with all that baked on goodness.

So if I were to buy a BMW under this program, all the hardware required for these features is already built into the car, and when I take delivery it will all already be there. All I have to do is pay to “unlock” the ability to use this hardware?

It’s one thing if the subscriptions are for software based things, like…

How Dare JLR build another Defender 130! The Audacity! It’s not like they ever had a long version of a Defender before, or that you can still buy the 90 and 110 versions with a myriad of engines, trims and capabilities.

Nope this spells the end of them producing any interesting vehicles, it’s done, it’s time to hang…

I work a 9-5 so thankfully get to miss these morons on my morning an evening commute (which involves the Beltway). However, I’d love nothing more than to do a couple laps with a large foam middle finger on top of my car right when they are doing theirs. I can only imagine the chatter.

I am a Jaguar guy through and through and the XJ is one of my favs, but this one is an instant pass. Anyone who puts those wheels and those graphics on that car is almost assuredly going to skip standard maintenance. Instant no dice, especially when unmodified better examples are out there for around the same price.

NP if you are comfortable with the repairs and upkeep it will eventually need. Surprisingly these aren’t that unreliable, but when they do have issues it can be expensive. Personally I’d look for a v8 version over the W12 as those have better part supplies and cheaper running costs. The biggest and most common issue…

Current 2004 Aviator and former 2003 Explorer (v8) owner here, so let me weigh in a bit.

They are both very similar and quite different from the Explorers of that generation. The interior is reworked quite extensively from the Explorer with a lot of features different than what you’d get if you went for the Ford.

First…

Not according to Toyota’s website. If you click on their upcoming vehicles and see the “GR Hot Hatch” it takes you to the GR Yaris. I remember reading somewhere a while back that the US will not be getting the GR Corolla.

According to Toyota’s website, we are supposed to get the GR Yaris but not the GR Corolla.

I am so glad we’re supposedly getting this in the US (according to Toyota’s website) and I have fallen in love with the idea of one since the Carfection review a few months ago. Assuming the markup isn’t insane and they are actually available, I may have to add one to my stable.

This is almost a copy paste from the F-Pace review. If the author really doesn’t care about these vehicles, then why the heck was he sent out to review them? I guess in the end Jalopnik has won by getting our clicks, but with reviews that tell us essentially nothing about the actual car, why we should buy it, or why…

This review told me essentially nothing other than “It’s okay I guess”. How does it compare to the competition? Were there any unique or redeeming qualities about this generation over the prior or against the competition?

It’s already given that people who are interested in this class of SUV are financially capable of…

According to a completely unverified source in the F-Type owners FB group, it was a manual F-Type S being delivered to a customer, the shipper left the car in gear, parking brake off when lowering the ramp and it rolled off. The car was “totaled due to frame, extensive exhaust, suspension and bumper damage”. They…

Easily my 2001 Dodge Dakota (SCSB, v6). The Dakota lived a hard life before I got it, it was a northern truck and was already 11 years old when she became mine. I spent $4k on it and probably invested another $6k-8k over 8 years into it before the rust started eating away vital bits. Other than wear items, it went…

*Structural Engineer, Civil Engineers wouldn’t have had anything to do with that pool’s construction or design.

This is an absolutely horrible idea, and probably overpriced. This is totally something I’d do and I approve.

Interesting, I was in the market for a mid-size truck at the end of last year. I cross shopped the Ranger Lariat, Colorado Z71 and Frontier. I couldn’t justify the cost of entry for the Ridgeline and am not a fan of the Tacoma. Believe it or not I was pretty dead set on a well optioned Frontier. It was the most…
