Hi all - so I’ve got a fair bit of disposable cash each month (I’m doing ok) and considering leasing a new car (leasing as works well for me tax wise).
I’m considering a Jaguar F-Type would that be considered too douchey? I remember a guy in here posted about getting a Maserati Gihbli and he got shat on for it. So thought I best asked to get an idea.

It's cool. My mom is super thrilled with hers.
MM got shit when he posted about his Ghibli probably because the people he lives around know he is MM, not because of the car. Anyway, considering the F-Type is $82K I would think you get get more elegant cars (even sports ones) for about that much or less but it depends on what preference you have; sporty or classy. My choices over the F-Type would be:
Sporty:
Porsche 718 Cayman
Lotus Evora 400
More Elegant:
Maserati Ghibli
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio
Lexus GS F
Mercedes AMG C63 S Coupé
Personal preferences so feel free to disagree. But to answer your question, it isn't that douchey
Do it right. Go for the V8 or SVR variant.
Does it even really matter if it is? If you don’t want any perception of being douchey, get a Honda Accord or whatever.
Or the Fiat Multipla - the one and only pussy wagon.
How about not caring about peoples perceptions and getting whatever car you want
Determining your car choice based on the opinion of WSO posters is no way to live dude
A colleague has it and no "douchey" comments so far..personally I think it looks great and it is less frequent on the street..
They are fun cars but not great for the money. Would rather spend more and get a Porsche 911 or m3 as those yield more bang for buck. Btw the jags also have absolute trash resale.
Maybe grab a certified used Porsche 911 with warranty and sell it in 1 or 2 years while it still has another year on it. My business partner did that and didn't really lose much money for the 2 years he kept the car.
Father has a 911 Carrera 4s... can attest its an absolute blast to drive. Agree you really don't get bang for buck with Jags.
I say go for it. Not sure where the $82k came from, last I saw they were around $60k. I Would also check out the 718, Quadrifoglio, and the M3/4. If you are going to buy, I would echo M_1. I have owned a few 911's and if you buy them right you will not lose a ton on resale.
Never driven one, but the one thing I'd say about the F-type is that it is IMO one of the most beautifully designed cars since...well, the E-type. I can more than understand why many buyers would weigh that enough to opt for the jag over an objectively "better" car. Also, when you get to that level, I find splitting hairs over performance is kind of pointless unless you're going to the track regularly.
As for douchey, it's about how you flaunt it and how you treat it. You can be just as douchey in a lambo as you can in a low-rider civic with a loud exhaust.
