I think the Jag is gorgeous, and would have one over a 911 in a heartbeat.
When comparing to the Boxster/Cayman it’s a tough call, as the PBS and PCS both drive sublimely……but, and it’s a BIG but, reliability would concern me with the Porsche, as would maintenance costs…the engine fragility of the new model is still unknown, but the last model was dreadful….not a concern in the first three years, but afterwards…
We were running shuttles on a local mountain and we heard a car being driven very, very fast. It came round the corner and slammed on the brakes. It was a bunch of Russian journos testing the new F-type. They were more interested in our bikes and wanted to know all about where we were riding and what type of bikes they were. I offered to swap for a descent but they didn´t take me up on it.
The cars are beautiful in the flesh, Iinside and out. The sound from the exhaust is amazing, real hairs on the back of your neck stuff. It´s not often that I´d turn down a descent on a bike for a drive in a car but I would definitely have swapped my run down the hill for theirs! We heard them driving down from the pass for ages, the engines wailing and tyres screeching.
