The Sunny is mine 😂 35 years old, 143K and still in daily use! It does genuinely have new tyres haha
nah,.. if your buying they are part worn now ;)
4:13 for anyone wondering
Is this a british thing i don't get or have i missed something? i find nissan sunny's absolutely revolting. never in my life have i ever heard somene say i want a nissan sunny apart from in this video!
@@kidz4zisch yes you have missed something, there must be something wrong with you lol Nissan sunny are very very good cars and look very good as well 😂😂
@@kidz4zisch yes your missing retro-chic
The lady with the Audi sounded lovely - go buy that too and do a challenge series between both cars
@` NWK_ it's an NA auto lol, literally the worst MR2 available. Stop being a JDM fan boy
@` NWK_ if you think a non turbo, auto MR2 is better then you obviously don't know anything about cars and are just a JDM fanboy. "Oooooo Japanese import it is better than everything else" lol embarrassing.
@` NWK_ and an NA auto MR2 with no paint and suspension problems isn't a shit box?😂😂😂
@@seancorrigan3531 people have different tastes.
Imho mr2 is way better project car than audi 80, but as I said - everyone likes what he likes. Do you understand finally? :)
@@shas7ime493 triggered you so bad that you're using alt accounts and liking your own comments lmao.
Those are the faces of men who wish they bought an audi 80 instead 😂
After that test drive would have deffo gone for the Audi, bollocks
These cheap car challenges are the best videos you guys make. They're all great but I watch these over and over like repeats of Top Gear on Dave..
ye top gear this channel actually brings back good memories
Agree
Agreed and I like the way you see what they look for I always have a look and pretty cool to see same cars not just what they bought
This is the sort of content I absolutely love to see, it’s just the affordability of nice rusty shitboxes especially with car prices rocketing it’s nice to see that you’re able to buy decent cars at a relatively cheap price
Not sure about decent. I bought one decent car back in 2008 and its still fine now. Before that I had 17 different cars all were crap and broke for many different reasons. Mot time was always terrifying
Decent cars? Where?
@@Alekpowah haha the MR2 doesn’t seem too bad, there are many good cars available for £1000, we had a 05 corolla, put 18k miles on it and never spent a penny on it, sold at 152k mikes and it’s still going now. I’ve got a 05 Yaris now that I bought for £1000 as a run around, still doing jus purpose, put nearly 5000 miles on it
@@chrisredfield3240 lovely stuff, I suppose it’s ideal to buy something relatively new
@@Jahmed5635 That MR2 was a death trap even before the guy broke it, and it sounds pretty broken lol!
You guys literally need to do this challenge but all 3 of you purchase a car.....then do the comparisons and tests....would be amazing!
This is an original idea. A car show should use it and call it something like "the cheap car challenge". I'm sure it could be a million dollar TV series.
@that_dogeboi well they should make it a series
@@bhavzm9035 top gear used to do it
@@jahir4039 guess you missed my sarcasm lol but yeah, used to be one of my fav series.
Yess
I can’t believe you picked that over the Audi especially after that test drive! Baffled
Things you love to see!! Another cheap car challenge 😁
Things I love to see. A lime green seat Leon 👀
You submit your car to roast my ride
This is the guy who sits in McDonald's trying to pick up 14 year old girls, with that car🤣
Is that a K1? My mate has a bright orange K1 which makes 400BHP, absolute monster it’s for sale at the moment though but he’s asking £10,000.
@@MasonMountUrMum why is that what you did with your car 🤣
2:56 Best comment of the session
.. "is he a dealer?"
"He'll be some sort of dealer" 😂🤣😂
I felt bad for the audi lady. She seemed really nice and then Instagram chose a shitbox 😥
Ikr mate
Shitbox??? are you kidding me?! The MR2 is almost as nice as a Celica. Its a Japanese masterpiece.
@@1994ToyotaCelica doesnt change the fact its a shitbox...we only had to see te mr2 because of the 11 y old jdm fans. The audi from my perspective would have been nicer
@@valdisj2429 nah i dont get all the hype for german cars. No where near as reliable and it looks like shit. That audi looked so outdated. The MR2 is just fire, great lines, mid engine, rear wheel drive. They made a great choice
@@1994ToyotaCelica i refuse to believe that jdm ir more reliable sorry m8. German cars can really take a harder beating. Jdm is only used on one type of road. Germans atleast where i live in the baltics no jdm car would compare to a daily driven audi 80 their just build better. I had an audi 80 it had literaly no rust and its almost 30yr old
Can we have a Rally Challenge? Buy and modify a car on a budget ready to rally, and train Ethan up to be the next Colin Mcrae
Again... A U D I
@@Abraxium Go check out "rallynalle00" if u wana see an Audi 80 rallycar
@@johanjacobson1035 Thank you!
Never end with this series... *NEVER!!*
I would have been cool to see a rally build with that Audi
was very optimistic that they will pick Audi... well maybe one day on this channel we'll see one.
Would've been a bit of a waste of a nice old audi. I love the shenanigans from these guys but it's not like they could do it properly.
I used to have B4 90 the autobox really is a let down. Took audi 2 more generations to get the right trans.
@@aRYANz88 that’s not why people enjoy the 80 though, it was the start of something special
@@sysakPL nothing is a “waste” when the owner enjoys what he does with it, if someone wants too crush it because it brings them enjoyment so be it, cars aren’t meant for museums whether they are old or not
"1234, you know the facebook rules. It means I'm a twat"
I can't tell you how many times I saw a car for $1234 and was like "wow, this looks great for the price", because I forget people are assholes
because facebook flags it as too expensive, if you enter the VIN for example and it checks out as an 06 mustang gt despite beeing a genuine Shelby 281 for example. FB market place is bull
@@02lucy666 Doesn’t matter..I’ve been able to type ANY number in on ANY vehicle. It’s very simple to just put your price and not play games
I just fire a quick message offering a silly price, feel like I'm doing my bit to stop these kuntz
Oh man i was shouting at my phone "take the audi, take the audi!"
Hopefully with a couple of coins the mr2 will look the part lads
Only the poshest finest middle class men who like rusty cars eat at a kebab house with a knife and fork
@@michagabo8819 yo pass the blunt man that's some good shit
How else do you eat it????
with your hands :troll:
@@corinoliver7824 Only fork cause you don't need to cut anything.
@@0IO Like a Savage?
All their complaints about marketplace are so relatable 😂😂😂
Well if they'd stop requiring the price to abide by KBB then we wouldn't see so many $1234 ads lol
Actual price is $8,000,000 but Facebook wouldn't let me put that as the price for a 2003 WRX with the engine out.
Still, Gumtree had its problems too. How many times have you clicked an ad on there only to see "price is for engine only. The car is not for sale, only breaking for parts"
$1234 listing is so dumb
I wish they would understand that we put the price as that because fucking Facebook doesn’t allow you to choose your own price😂😭😭
“you’ll see more of this car very soon” considering how many cars they’ve had that they just suddenly stopped making videos on and were never seen again, I’m not so certain...
Yeah sad what this channel has become..
Prelude lol
@@Jakanddaxter1999 wasn't that because the guy who was building their engine was using fake Chinese parts and got exposed for it?
@@v6tex yup lol. they mentioned it somewhere and said the car got sold off because there wasn't that much interest in the build but I honestly don't think that was the actual reason
I think you just proved why Facebook is to be avoided.
I mean, the insane privacy issues, the anti-competitive monopoly problems, the blatant disregard for the responsibility on their platform, but yea.... Also bc you find shitty cars
@@MrJakson112 Allow me to rephrase my comment. I think you just found another reason to avoid Facebook.
im so glad these kinda videos are back
"I've put in cars, and a fridge has come up" xD
Just like the eBay. I am buying some electronic components, and eBay says "You may also like this dildo"...
@@DashCamSerbia there are ppl who use a dildo as a car shifter tho...
@@ilovemr2
Some cars have a dildo steering and driving the car.
The original plot to back to the future was going to be a fridge but they changed it as they thought kids might go into fridges and die
Everything has potential with a set of wheels
I don't think I've ever seen this level of being underwhelmed at the end of a cheap car challenge before!!! The bit where Jack almost lost his nose got me 🤣
I would have gone with the 80 personally sort of was looking forward to it haha
That Audi sounded mint and ready for flipping.
When your watching CZcams on your phone and hit a new car throttle video and pause it because this needs to be played on the big TV lol
Yessss
This is the way
@@cameecooose this is the way
@@szili76 this is the way
You missed a massive comedy moment there, hand the spoiler over and say "Spoiler Alert" we bought the car 😂
Ngl I’d rather have had the 80, but a CT video in the style that first made me fall in love with the channel?
I’ll take that! 🙌🏽
How can you not go for the Audi!? Them 80s are legends!
Probably because the question is which is cooler. The Audi 80 is a great car, but it's not that cool compared to an MR2.
Audi 80s are cool, but 1.6 base models aren't...
@@TheShinyShow true but i'd rather see that than this common car, next car challenge they will prob buy a common mx5..
@@Luckyjo21 same, if Alex had asked "which car should we buy" maybe the Audi would've been picked
The 80 beats the automatic mr2 any day,
Alex violating jack from being in Essex had me laughing 😂
Salaam jubair
"Violating" :-D
Sorry fellas, I’m not with you on this one. The Audi would’ve been much much better.
I thought after the test drive you’d say no.
I’m usually always on your side, this time I’m not though... shame
I love the MR2 personally, it's worth the fix
Me too! I thought they were for sure going to buy the Audi after that test drive, the MR2 doesn't have the same cool factor yet because of its condition
The thing is if the mr2 want bought, it would have gone to scrap if it hadn’t been refurbished or tuned
Ethans got so much more confidence compared to the first cheap car videos
LOL! Ethan reacting to the word "Calm" had me laughing out loud! 😂 😂
a shame, especially because you just know that that audi, for that price, would have been in mint condition.. Probably could have done rally stages in that.. would‘ve appreciated a bunch too, just like Phil, double probably
Cool video though! Nice to see a challenge once in a while, keep up the great work!
Yeah I was quite upset they didn't pick the Audi.
yeah but its a mr2
That Audi was so cool
@@sixunity1171 but not the cool version. Literally the worst combination, NA and Auto
MR2s appreciate aswell :)
The MR2 is the coolest of the lot, how is that a question lol
*nevermind, it’s an auto
Only 5sfe engine would miss from that perfect package...the only question would remain: do you want it converted to fwd? And why? :D
"You'll see more of this car" just like the Prelude, MGF etc....
And let's not forget the 100 pound MR2 they already have/had(?)
@@askbeforeplaying2983 exactly and that would of been a decent build
I’d have had the 80. MR2 looks ropey mcdope
Thank you for a new challange 🙌
The Mr2 is cool...but not as an automatic...with this fact i had taken the 80 :/
Maybe a Stick swap?:D
Yeah, bin that auto and manual swap it.
Audi 80s drive very unique, it remains wonderful to look over that long bonnet, and the B3 models are very light and therefore easy to throw through the bends. I love oldtimer Audi’s!😍
It's an interesting way of saying it understeers and drives like a poverty box.
@@blairinferno4675 BMW or Mercedes fan??
@@jellesnaterse6709 of the choices provided I'd take the merc.
I for one am really glad you guys started these videos again , I definitely enjoy these vids and your podcasts the most . Fingers crossed for lots more and son good long vids of Ethan fixing it up haha.
Of course Ethan wants to sleep in a car, the same man who doesn’t know what to search for, this man is me 😂😂
He can sleep in a car but not a vw split screen bus hows that work
Love how Ethan has grown. Best Denzel impression ‘My man’.
This is quite probably the nicest sort of video on CT, love it! Also love to see you guys improve the cars you've bought
I want to see a project build on the 80 I think that would be amazing
"He's going to be some sort dealer"
Like every other car you buy we're never gonna see this mr2 again just like the mk3 MR2 you got 10 months ago 😂😂
So thoughtful of you guys to continue the beloved cheap car series. I know you guys are probably dying to do an expensive build series but you stick with the 1000£ or less stuff out of love for your fans. ❤️
What happened to the “KICK IT” transition? 😂
Kinda bummed you didn't go Audi, we've seen a couple MR2's on the channel but a classic Audi would be a neat change of pace.
When you list most old cars on Facebook, their algorithm says "this vehicle is not worth £8000" like the P100 and doesnt allow you to advertise it for £8000.
Its a pain in the arse, hence all the £1234 and £8000 not £800 as li"sted
Is that a ford P100 pick up truck ?
Ah, I just wrote the exact same thing as I didn’t spot someone had already mentioned this. Nice one 👍🏼 It’s properly annoying.
Welcome to AI...
These have got to be one of my favourite types of Car Throttle videos - sitting round trying to find a car and going to get it. Great video as ever lads 👍
These are the vid's that interest me. Love the way you hate each other's choices, keep it coming
I always get second hand anxiety when they do the phone calls, but I love these videos! :)
Well this is routine, just sitting and waiting for a carthrottle vid. Nice and great to be early :)
Yes, been waiting for another one of these!!
these videos are why i'm subscribed. love the cheap car challenges
these are the best kind of ct videos
the deadpan "he'll be some sort of dealer" got me
"Let's go"! Says Vin Diesel as he slams the MR2 into "D" and creeps slowly away. "Shit if only I had bought an Audi".
Watching you guys has genuinely taught me so much when it comes to what to look for when buying a car
I needed this after a long week!
Audi 80 is such a good classic, can recommend it to everyone.
I have an A4 B6 with 253k on the clock, but I want to go backwards and get an A4 B5 then an 80! Shame they didn't pick the 80 for this challenge...
@@itchyscratch3829 My 80 broke down every month, but man the way it drives...amazing.
Oh I’ve been waiting for this! More videos like this Alex thanks 🌚
Great to see you guys doing these challenges. They are fun
Best project car you guys have bought so far can't wait to see more on the Mr2
That Sierra looked mint!
It was a wanted ad, just a pic off Google??
Hey carthrottle and Ethan I love these videos keep up the good work :)
i've been waiting for another one of these
Love these cheap car challenges!
Out of all the stupid cars they’ve bought and stupid decisions they’ve made this is by far the worst
omg i just found this channel a while ago and I'm having a blast, this is epic and I feel the Top Gear vibes somehow
So glad these are back!
i love these challenge videos so much XD
If you mentioned that the MR2 was an auto. The Audi would have won 😂
Always love your videos keep up the good work lads
Finally I been waiting for this for too longgg
That’s going to be a really “calm” project car! Can’t wait to see a series on that.
Cool or calm..
Tourettesguy: calm down, calm down don't get a big dick!
This has made a pretty bad week that bit better , thanks guys 🙏🏼👋
I've missed these kind of videos, always full of entertainment!
This is brilliant chaps, I've had an MR2 since 1994 (a 1991 model), so I'm keen to see you guys work on this!
man I got so hyped when I heard the c2 vts, love mine!
Cant believe the MR2 was chosen, 80’s are amazing!
@` NWK_ Imagine preferring a ghetto ass auto MR2 with shit paintwork n loads of problems over a clean stock Audi 80 smh
But they also said the 80 was cool 🤷🏻♂️ thats why it was a choice between them lol
@` NWK_ Ever heard of the Audi 80 Competition??
I've been having a look around the comments instead of watching the video because I was rooting for the Audi. Then I see this lady, @ ` NWK_ in literally every Audi comment, saying the exact same thing. At first I thought it's déjà vu . But no. Probably a bot.
@` NWK_ Its an auto, non turbo, has been mucked around with, and is making noises. Its a cool project car for sure. But compared to the audi a80, that mr2 is rubbish.
i’ve missed these videos, top tier content
Ah excellent, these are the best types of videos you guys make 😃
"if someone submitted that in roast my rides, we'd be talking about it"
That's litterally every car you have seen on facebook marketplace.
Yessssss! Challenge video!!!
The murky world of Facebook market place....it’s an eye opener for sure.
Love these cheap car challenges.
At last a cheap car challenge again love these videos 👍
When I voted on IG I didn’t know the mr2 was an auto. If I’d known I would have gone for the audi
an auto and the suspenssion was going through the car over every pebble lmao
Auto, NA, paints gone, panel gap, aftermarket parts, parts missing, suspension clunking. Great purchase! Thankgod we didn't choose the Audi A80.
Ngl, wish you’d got the Audi 80, some true taste in that thing, that mr2 needs to go to the scrap yard.
Finally these challenges r the best post these every week
Man watching Ethan grow is just awesome 🥲
Audi 80 would've been way cooler!
Would have chosen the Audi all day long!! Mr2.. or Mr Poo?😂
Love the cheap car challenges ❤️. Wish they’d gone for the Audi though. The MR2, although cool, looks like it needs a lot of work doing to it. Doesn’t look very cared for in the slightest. You guys love a challenge though 👍🏻. Looking forward to this project
Where the bloody hell have you boys been! We need more of these challenges!
Thank God you waited for the order outside as the sign said🤣
It’s crazy how some of these cars will soon be reaching classic status!
Love this videos please post more of them
Love the cheap car challenge, do more of them.
