It's certainly the most reviewed car of 2014. This is ... What our 4th or 5th?

I see journalists with it 2 or 3 times posting on Facebook.  LOL

Yea, and Top Gear and all the Brit mags will call it the best car ever made.

One of my pet peeves in life, but when I clicked on the video review to hear the engine music, I noticed the reviewer pronounced the automaker's name incorrectly.

It's Jag-U-ar.

(Sorry, can't resist. Kind of like when people end a sentence with a preposition. Or mix up fewer/less.)

That said, I would love to borrow an F-Type and drive through the scenic tunnels around where I live. I have done it in a couple BMWs and its a stupid pleasure but enormously gratifying.

I used to drive my cars through The Rat Hole to hear the exhaust note.  Edmontonians will recall The Rat Hole with a combination of fondness and hatred.

At least this car has real exhaust sounds.  On my Golf R, there's a device called the "Soundaktor" which supposedly is an electronic device that emits a "simulated" exhaust and engine noises.  It got so bad that my wife was complaining she was feeling buzzy after a 2 hour trip (in the back seat).

Pulled the plug on the thing (lots of videos on YT and other VW forums) and never looked back.  The car actually sound natural now.

Your first problem is buying a car with a 4 banger.  4 bangers sound like crap to begin with....
