Jaguar F-Pace review (2023)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Overall a good car and a nice place to be but pick your engine carefully and make sure that you test drive it under all conditions, including the motorway. Also check the equipment levels and don't assume that a particular model has certain features which you might think would be standard.

How reliable do you find the car?

There was a raft of issues when we first got the car which the supplying dealer often failed to sort first (or second) time. It was only when we switched dealer that things started to get sorted so that we could finally enjoy the car. Fortunately it was all covered by warranty

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

In terms of comfort, ride and equipment it met expectations, but the 2.0D 180PS engine and performance were a big disappointment. It lacked oomph and refinement and would vibrate under certain circumstances. I think some of these issues were resolved in later cars and the 3.0D was a much better engine. I had the engine remapped which has helped quite a bit.
