Rusty Crobar

Um, I suppose a lancia thema 8.32 wouldn't be classed as reliable. .. shame! 

The more I have the car the more I'm sure I won't ever have one of the rival German cars. Reliablity is such an underrated quality! 

I will be replacing my Michelin supersports with Michelin pilot sport 4s when the time comes. They are more expensive but everything I've seen and experienced suggests they're worth it. 

Welcome, lovely looking F! Nice colour combo on the SC too 😊

Good luck with the search, they're nice rims. My rear wheels don't clear the calipers but a 3mm spacer sorted it 🖒

I think the nismo additions really suit the Juke. Me and my wife like cars that stand out from the crowd to. This is her veloster turbo with the crazy asemetric doors, douche bag private plate and matt paint, probably as rare as the isf in this colour!

I'll try out the new front end if you guys want to have a whip round 🤑

I'll be there, I'll have to confirm about the overnight stay but it shouldn't be a problem. 

No 🖒

I think some dealers are attempting to cash in by making out that late model F's will be collecters items. I'm sure they will but not for a while and they'll depreciate a lot in the meantime. I doubt they'll sell at anywhere near those prices.

Thanks for the comments guys, absolutely loving the car! Off down to the Cotswolds today for a good run out

Hope you had fun, I'd be interested to know more about how it compares to the audi, as much as I dislike Audi's generally, the b7 seems to be one of the good ones.

Lovely car and great colour 🖒

I do want to 🖒

I got the apexi kit which retains the standard air box. It's not as bling as some but seems well made and makes a nice noise. It has made a small increase in performance but my old filter was filthy some any filter would have been an improvement! 

A lot of kits come from America so shipping can takea while.

I'll be at the midlands meet and I expect a lot of cake from you 3 🍰

Where's the dislike button... 😠

Why do I have to work  tomorrow when you two get to eat cake and argue whether the GSF is better than the rcf 🤔

Honestly, I would get a lexus from that list for the reliability and quiet commuting comfort. 

Gt86 would be great but probably a bit noisy for a daily driver.

Jaguar/landrover generally release a new model with an existing engine range to reduce at least some reliability issues, they then introduce new engines during the facelift. It's a sensible approach and I'm sure other manufacturers do the same where the can. It doesn't help with the low quality interior materials though. 

I do want them to do well though as they are great looking, good to drive and British built of course 🐯

No sure I wield that much power yet sorry guys but I am doing my bit for awareness. The wheel shop I used for the chav chariots new rims shared my picture on their Facebook page 😊

I have no interest in turbos or superchargers, the F is as fast as you need on the road although you have to work for it. And that is the difference between a driving enthusiast (terrible phrase 😶) and joe public, we enjoy actually driving the car whereas they just want the easiest way to go fast and show the world they have an expensive car. That's why diesels and turbo German cars are so popular. Don't even get me started on fast Audi's, the most boring cars on the road imho 😠

On paper the M4 has the performance numbers and good fuel economy to help convince the wife but in reality the engine is a backwards step from the previous model. If lexus goes turbo like I think they will I will be much less interested in them.

I really like jags but agree that the build quality is still not good enough. I also think they should introduce a turbo straight 6 with around 450bhp in the XE as this would be closer in spirit to the M4 and have lower tax and emissions which I think would put a lot of people off the sc V8. My feeling is the next ISF will be the 3.5 V6 turbo 😩

GSF for me next then... 😊

@GibletPH sounds great!

You know she has more expensivetaste than that! 🤑

Nice to see a review against something different. I like the volvo but it shows what you'd be giving up by switching to newer car
