The 2016 Jaguar F-type Combine Its Heritage with Modernity Perfectly

As said, stereotypes die hard. Hence, whenever the car enthusiasts sit to have a discussion about the Jaguar, they still associate the brand with some of the luxury cosseting cars that have already flipped down the wooden tray tables back. And while considering any of the models of Jaguar Greensboro NC the 2016 F-type is never the model that comes first in mind. One thing that is completely ignored while assessing the cars that Jaguar was once a brand that used to build some of the classy 2 seat sporty cars back in the 1970s and the early 60s. It's this sporting spirit that the F-type is supposed to evoke in their latest launch.


The entry level F-type comes with the supercharged 3.0 liter V6 engine that has been rated at 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. There has been some thorough studies done on this particular version and the EPA has determined it to run at 19 miles per gallon in the city and 28 miles per gallon on the highways. While this is available at 8 speed automatic transmission, the 6 speed manual gives something around 16 miles per gallon in the city and 24 on the highways. But those who've always preferred a bit of more energy and speed, they've claimed the S models available in Jaguar Service Greensboro NC to be their choice. With just a boosted version of the same V6 engine used in the entry level models, they tend to provide 380 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Although there's slight dip in the fuel economy running at just 19 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highways, the power makes it up for the entire lot.

The technicians at the Jaguar repair Greensboro working for the safety of these vehicles are all good words about the standard stability control that the F-type Jaguar features. The four wheel anti lock disc brakes and for the convertibles, the rollover hoops behind the headsets makes the drivers feel completely safe. Although it has not been crash tested yet, all these features guarantee to insure the lives riding within. Since the hydraulic power steering system has been completely replaced by the electronic versions, there's a complete new feel. Most of the riders who've been on a test drive agrees that there's a video game controller feel that dominates behind the wheels.

Generally, a Jaguar having a manual transmission is something off beat, but for a sports car it is must. So while the F-type was designed keeping the sporty feel in mind, they had to consider putting the manual transmission beneath the bonnet. As far as the driver's involvement is concerned, the paddle shifters serve the purpose stabling the entire control of the cars in heavy traffic. There's nothing to be depressed if one feels it comfortable with the automatic version, it's just a different way of being modern.
