      @@as7zen405 Pretty much impossible to get that done if you're a new driver. I got a little 1.4 corsa as my first car at the age of 21 and had to spend 5k. 2300 for a car and 2600 for insurance. Car only, unless you really won't be driving a lot. Could get something really cheap under 1k and fit under 3k, but that also depends where you live. I live in a city centre so my insurance is in fact slightly more expensive also I recently moved houses

      It is a GTI in name only 2.0 with 115bhp was so slow, even when it first came out - there was the one shown here and another with the 1.8 Turbo that made 150bhp, that was the "Real" GTI then the 25th anniversary special he mentioned which has 180 bhp

    You *can* buy cars for £1k, but I'm 100% confident that most people shouldn't 😄 In 2005 it took me 4 test drives to find a car at my £1500 budget without a blown head gasket, so I ended up buying a Fiat which promptly disintegrated (except the head gasket). 18 years later, you've got to be able to work on cars yourself to be buying these, surely?
    Having said all that, that Civic Type-S GT may be less powerful and worse to drive than the prior Type-S (which had 158hp, so 20hp more...WTF Honda), but the proportions are just right, it still looks futuristic and it'll probably not break, much! Plus the interior is in my top 10 ever, even if the materials are cheap. Genuinely serious fun too, I have a massive soft spot for that car, especially in that weird yet somehow really nice bronze colour they did. It actually bumps the MX-5 into 2nd spot on this list for me, sorry...

  • @easydrive3662
    @easydrive3662 Před 7 měsíci +6

    One that definitely needs to be on the list is the mk1 ford focus, even today it looks great, drives just as well as any new car and very reliable. You can pick them up for well under a grand!
    What is clear to see is that many of these older cars in the list have lovely design to them still, in my opinion id say some look far better than todays new cars

    i would have added the Honda Jazz. for first cars they are small but surprisingly extremely spacious inside, reliable engine & amazing on fuel economy. i have a 19 year old Jazz & a full tank lasts over a week even with motorway driving to & from work 6 days a week, still averaging 50+ mpg which is rather good a 2004.
    let downs to a Honda Jazz is rust same as any Japanese car. keep an eye on the rust underneath, wheel arches & sills. engine wise as long as you maintain servicing regularly then like most Honda engines, they’ll keep going. if you have a vtec engine, pay most attention to the engine oil

    I had a streetka a few years ago. Fun little car with the roof down. Had no issues with rust but the thing went through discs and pads like no tomorrow plus I kept having to get the tracking done so it ate tyres too. I do miss it sometimes. Had real character and felt quicker than it was.

      You're asking a guy who owns a Polo and an MX-5, plus used to own a Fabia, which of the cars he'd pick...on a list with those 3 cars on 😁 Before anyone else comes along, I'm going to go ahead and say that, for me, the Civic Type S is a clear winner here...even having driven JB's actual MX-5 (don't think I'll get a go in the 4C after saying this 🤣).
