Jaguar has become synonymous with a reputation for unreliable cars. Is this due to a complicated design or poor quality materials? Jaguar did make innovative cars in the 1960s and kept iterating on the same design for too long. Of course, there are people who own Jaguars that haven't had major issues, but they seem to be in the minority. YouMate you're looking at a Jag. You could have no reliability issues, you could either have slight issues or an issue very rarely. Or you could have constant issues with major problems. Everyone has a different experiance. My F-type I purchased used. In the 2nd week my carbon canister valve failed. I took it over to the nearest Jag dealership. I also work for Jaguar Land Rover. The 19+ V6 S has a larger gas tank, and the earlier V6s would get less than 300 miles per tank (25MPG but a small tank). They are quick and very fun to drive.
Phenomenal driving car with the V6 S engine (V8 feels nose heavy to me). The supercharged v6 is a pretty reliable engine, my friends with F types have mostly had only head unit issues that required a reset. That being said I have heard of lemon f Types. The 718 will be more reliable and hold its value better.
