Met a couple today who came up and asked me if the M40i was mine. They asked how it was performance wise etc. they were looking to get into a G29 from an F-Type. Don’t really know much about F-Types but they said theirs is a 2 litre turbo (circa 300 hp I think he said) and were extremely disappointed with both the 20i and 30i G29. They’ve got a test drive if an M40i tomorrow and think it’ll be much closer to the F-Type In performance stakes and if so will buy. HTH’s

Were they psychopaths with extraordinary large right feet?

Think the lower power F type is circa 298hp, the 30i is only 40hp down on that and is a bit lighter so there shouldn't be a massive difference in acceleration.

Of course, the build quality of the Jag will make it feel as if you're going a lot faster........

TBH Scubs, I’ve not driven either 4 pot G29 nor the Jag so taking them completely at their word. It was actually his Mrs that was complaining about it

If it's the Mrs, shouldn't they complain that it's too quick before they can feel anything

q96169we, if your Mrs can't feel anything, you have bigger problems mate.

She said the 0-60mph time of the car is too quick before she can feel it's 60 already
