Lots of fun... Sometimes - 2016 Jaguar F-Type
By Austin - August 1 - 6:37 amI got the manual transmission and like the early reviews, the clutch slips... BAD. Getting on the freeway and accelerating with a shift into third? Clutch slips, all the way to redline. And itll do it all day if you let it. Shift above 5000 rpms? Ditto. Heres where it gets even better. Jaguar says take it to the dealer Dealer says its normal. Drive slower, dont shift so fast! Well let you know if Jaguar come out with a fix. Turns out, Jaguar updated the clutch and flywheel part numbers. What for, if nothing is wrong? One owner even had his clutch explode. But Jaguars covering it up. The rep even acknowledged the problem in the piston heads review. Nobody will do anything!!! $72 grand gets you the clutch that belongs on a Corolla. Everything else, yeah its fun. Look great well built, sounds amazing. But who cares if you have to baby it? Its a joke. I wish the auto news sites would help me get through to Jag but nothing yet. Just the same runaround from their customer non-service liars and robots.
