Drove the F-type S roadster version, exterior and looks are really nice, interior is well laid out and hot.

It got a nice rumble upon start, has an extra button to make the exhaust louder and burble quite a bit. Nice power to get you quickly upto 100 km.h, and thats where the fun kinda ends. Beyond this it seems to have little hard time going up, as if parking brake is on, trust me its not. The exhaust gets really loud, and this is factory, but the speed is gradually going up but not fast enough. I tried different modes but still same. There is a dynamic mode, apparently I can tune things, will try that soon.
Handling is not bad but not the greatest, I expected it take corners really easy but felt heavy a bit.
I give it thumbs up for the looks, exhaust rumble and interior and it ends there. Oh, u get lot of thumbs up from ladies.
If you're ok with all this then get F type otherwise 911.
