Yep, I like his style. I'm just starting a channel too. Don't quite have the stable he has but an S4 and JCW Roadster are fun. Please take a look and let me know what you think ?
I really love the amount of effort you put in your videos. Everything you mention has a supporting clip to it, which just adds to the fun. Awesome stuff man. Keep it up.
Just bought an Audi S1 on Forza Horizon 4, and holy crap time flies I just realized and remembered you had one right at the beginning of the channel when I began watching! So crazy to see how far you've gone James! Continue the magnificent content please!
My S1 has got 320hp, Forge intercooler, high flow dump valve, BCS titanium downpipe with sports car and light weight team dynamic 18" wheels with Michelin pilot super sport on 👍🏻 get this done and it transforms the car 👍🏻
I have a Yellow S1 as well. I had mine remapped at ABT and it's now 310/320 bhp. and 440 nm torque. You think 230 bhp makes you smile. Try it with a remap lol
To be more specific why FWDs torque steers is that one driveshaft is longer and other driveshaft is shorter. So what's happening here is that the shorter shaft gets instant power delivery were the longer is suffering from slight twist and you have tiny power delivery delay on left wheel. Right wheel gets instant delivery and it pulls you to one side. 😉 -Sorry if my English is not the best.
+A2 Yo1a FYI that's BS FWDs torque steer because the driven wheels are able to move the steering wheel depending on which wheel has more grip. More grip on the right; steering wheel turns anti-clockwise. More grip on the left; steering wheel turns clockwise.
Sir hats off. you very well know what colour a car should be bought. Living an ultimate life. god bless you and wish you do more good stuff dont stop uploading.
Daymn you are good at making videos. I still think you should upload more frequently these videos. And please do garage tour and rev battle between your cars. Thanks
Glad you like the S1 .Appreciate that you have a garage full of exotica but glad you still like this manual pocket rocket.I have had mine since March and love it also you don't many on the road which is nice.
This is my favourite car atm I have the A1 sline I wrapped it chrome matte blue. Love it and I also went a test drive in the S1 stunning. There's a guy selling a 14 plate s1 for 25k but he's done tuns of Apr maps to it so it's now putting out an amazing 400hp and 390lft WOW
This looks like the perfect little car for where I live, near the mountains! I imagine the cornering through canyons would be so much fun, and without the worry of having so much power to lose traction which could be quite dangerous in tight areas. Very very cool man!
Your videos are getting better and better man - stylistically of course; an F12 or speciale is always going to be more exciting than an S1 ;) Although I too have a special place in my heart for manual hot hatches
Whoooahh dude, you in a car with passenger back seats and four doors!! Thought you were gonna freak out for a moment! (lol) I have never seen an S1 until this video (didn't even know about em) and I've been driving audi's for years. Thanks for the clip. By the way those seats look bad ass from our viewpoint so while we know this is a step down from the supercar seats you're accustomed to being glued too, and that most of us have never even sat in, we appreciate your honesty here but forgive us if we take that part with a grain of salt. ;-)
Ha ha sure - I think it's just a personal preference. They look cool but I don't seem to get truly comfortable in them and they might be a tiny bit too "high" too
Can I just say that I'm enjoying watching your vids immensely. But after switching between a couple of vids I've noticed you have a way bigger smile on your face from using the manual box in this car. I've just bought a 987.2 Cayman S and I'm SO happy I went with a manual box - they're a dying breed and seeing as you have the means I would HIGHLY recommend buying your next supercar/sports car with that option if it's available. What you lose in 0-60 you gain in man points and driver involvement! ;-)
Agree manuals are a lot of fun but I'm smiling because this thing is cheeky - the F12 makes me feel the best by far! A proper manual Supercar would be cool...we'll see 😉
I got a 2013 current shape Fiesta ST. It's a great car and fast and it would be stupid with a flappy paddle gearbox. I kept it standard so even though it's front wheel drive it's around the 197BHP mark, love the thing. I think I'll buy the next one when it comes out. Living in Dorset it's great for the country roads. If the Audi was cheaper I would have looked at it too.
Haha, no way! Love these things; I have a Celtic tuning remapped black edition A1 2.0tdi (I commute 70 miles a day so need the economy), so this video grabbed my attention. Started watching, and I can pretty much see my house go by in the first two minutes of the video! Good video. I'll keep an eye out on the roads. I'd love to know how well the remapped tdi pulls in comparison to one of these, and I'd LOVE to see what a 300bhp+ S1 would be like!
In my country, Romania, you can't get the driving licence if you don't know how to drive a manual car. You can have driving lessons on an auto, but the driving exam must be taken on a manual.
Hey man, great video once again! Nice pocket rocket for the run around when u can grab it off your girlfriend! Thanks for explaining torque steer lol. Think 99% of ur viewers already know what it is...I hope :)
I currently have an a1 185, my S1 comes March the 1st, I haven't test driven one yet so it'll be a surprise, but I'm going for revo map after a while hoping for 330bhp, then maybe stage 2 later on with golf r turbo and other upgrades to about 400bhp !:)
+F50Nick Hey buddy, because I was also buying it for my partner she also had a say in it and she wanted something really small and in this space that narrows it down to pretty much ht he S1 or Mini John Cooper Works which she felt was a bit too "boy racer" for her.
Love the video, but a lot of what you said about the A1 Quattro was wrong. The A1 Quattro was more powerful (256bhp vs 231bhp). There was 333 made, and I believe 17 in the UK. I say all of this because it is a dream car for me. The A1 Quattro can also go much better with tuning, MTM can get it up to 380BHP.
I actually think it's 20 in the UK and the S1 has more torque than the A1 Quattro - the type of power you really want from a turbo car. I'm sure they can both go a lot further with tuning.
In the UK they use a system called RON for octane ratings, whereas in Canada and the United States, we use AKI. 91,94 and 95 are the highest, but they are nearly equivalent to the highest RON octane ratings in the UK.
+Mr JWW That Ferrari is an absolute masterpiece, I only ask because some people enjoy thrashing low HP cars more than driving supercars they can't exploit on the road.
Hows it geared? I can imagine its probably quite long geared because 5.9 seconds although is fast doesn't seem quick enough for the power and AWD when you consider the GTi has the same engine and FWD but manages to do the sprint to 60 in 6.5 seconds (also weighs more)
+S Miller Gearing is a little long but not too bad, and honestly that 5.9 to 60 is conservative it's very low 5's maybe high 4's in the right conditions.
Mr JWW Fair enough because ive got a 180hp 320nn Ibiza FR so same chassis with FWD and get times of 6 seconds. Guess they lied about the acceleration times on the S1 so nobody would buy it over the S3.
1st like 1st view I think volvo s60 is better because it goes 280 km an hour or 110 miles per hour an the interior is surprisingly like that car it has the same style seats anyway nice car and nice vids keep up the vids!! 😉👍
I don't think I've seen any of your cars wrapped. do you not like all the matte black/red wraps that other youtubers are so fond of?....also are you into detailing, like do you wash your own car and polish it??
I bought my S1 on the strength of this vid,do some upgrades on it.As a S1 is the best some of us can afford it would be nice to see what could be done,and you would do it properly, hint hint.
By far one of the best automotive youtubers! To think that your only a few months into it too! Only great things will come of the channel!
Thanks Ethan! Hope to have some new content live soon!
Yep, I like his style. I'm just starting a channel too. Don't quite have the stable he has but an S4 and JCW Roadster are fun. Please take a look and let me know what you think ?
I really love the amount of effort you put in your videos. Everything you mention has a supporting clip to it, which just adds to the fun. Awesome stuff man. Keep it up.
Appreciated, thanks bro!
Agree, it makes some other car vloggers look quite lazy
Just bought an Audi S1 on Forza Horizon 4, and holy crap time flies I just realized and remembered you had one right at the beginning of the channel when I began watching! So crazy to see how far you've gone James! Continue the magnificent content please!
My S1 has got 320hp, Forge intercooler, high flow dump valve, BCS titanium downpipe with sports car and light weight team dynamic 18" wheels with Michelin pilot super sport on 👍🏻 get this done and it transforms the car 👍🏻
And it's chipped too 👍🏻😆
This sounds awesome!!
+Mr JWW it is awesome 👍🏻 takes care of a 911 at Santa Pod 😉
How much extra power does just a remap give? I've just bought an S1 and due to collect it this week
How much are looking at £ wise for these upgrades please??
This is your best video to date, really well shot.
Your videos are getting better and better! Keep it up!
Thanks buddy!
I have actually ordered one of these, I'm picking it up in March, can't wait!!!
Big excitement coming your way! 👌🏼
Hey mr jww, what a nice car and especially with a manual gearbox! I love your videos, your my favorite youtuber!
Very kind of you buddy!
dang love your collection of cars and your reviews! :)
+Yusen Pictures Thanks bro!
+Mr JWW no problem!
I have a Yellow S1 as well. I had mine remapped at ABT and it's now 310/320 bhp. and 440 nm torque. You think 230 bhp makes you smile. Try it with a remap lol
+Ian Whiffen I think i need to - it would be a nuts little car! Make a good video too ha ha
Did you have to upgrade the clutch?
How much was the remap
@@jasonhowes6431 £1975 for the Abt piggyback ecu. Lot of money but it came with a year's warranty and is untraceable on a diagnostics machine
@@rare6499 yes I have the Sachs organic clutch
That's so awesome! I wish we had the 1 series here in the US and a Manual S car would be awesome! Enjoy it and can't wait to see more of it!
Many thanks!
Great choice, looks awesome in yellow and the manual gearbox is a cool extra too, enjoy it!

More grip on the right; steering wheel turns anti-clockwise. More grip on the left; steering wheel turns clockwise.

Robert Skuriat And yes. Thank you for taking this to consideration.
It also depends from this as well.
Robert Skuriat Please do your own research before you tell me in wrong 😉
The seats in this thing look insane from the back. Another great vid. 👍
Loving these! Great presenting style and production quality - great cars might be helping as well...
Thanks a lot Alasdair
Keep up the good work! My new favourite youtube car channel :) Merry christmas man!
Flattered, many thanks Johan! Merry Christmas to you too!
Sir hats off. you very well know what colour a car should be bought. Living an ultimate life. god bless you and wish you do more good stuff
dont stop uploading.
Thanks buddy!
Great car, great sound, great attitude towards driving, towards driving pleasure and towards speccing and owning a car.
Daymn you are good at making videos. I still think you should upload more frequently these videos. And please do garage tour and rev battle between your cars. Thanks
Thanks dude, can't always upload as often as I'd like - too busy with work most of the time!
Brilliant video, great run around. I'd absolutely love a video on the vogue at some point? Not a supercar but equally as special!
Thanks buddy, sounds good I'll get around to it!
Glad you like the S1 .Appreciate that you have a garage full of exotica but glad you still like this manual pocket rocket.I have had mine since March and love it also you don't many on the road which is nice.
Your channel is growing so fast ! Prouves that your making awesome content :) Again excellent job on this one !
Thanks dude!
another great video mrjww, love the back seats in yellow
Hard work pays off, grats bro
Lol. Hard work?
You're very good at showing every angle of the car!
Thanks buddy!
No problem! I can't wait for your all-car lineup!
This is my favourite car atm I have the A1 sline I wrapped it chrome matte blue. Love it and I also went a test drive in the S1 stunning. There's a guy selling a 14 plate s1 for 25k but he's done tuns of Apr maps to it so it's now putting out an amazing 400hp and 390lft WOW
Sounds massive fun! 🚕💨💨💨
This looks like the perfect little car for where I live, near the mountains! I imagine the cornering through canyons would be so much fun, and without the worry of having so much power to lose traction which could be quite dangerous in tight areas. Very very cool man!
This over a Mini JCW any day! Really cool car.
great vid man :) your car collection is brilliant
Thanks buddy! More content coming soon!
Your filming style and editing is much better than the likes of Schmee/SOL/STG etc. Good to see someone looking to try that little bit harder...
Great content! Keep 'em coming!
Great review! The S1 is such a great pocket rocket :D
Awesome thanks bro
The spec on that is absolutely stunning, what a car
Had a S1 for nearly 2 year now. Amazing.
I had one of the first ones as a company car when i was in sales. Great fun!
You live the life man! it's so cool! enjoy
M135 money and that sir is far superior than the bumble bee your misses is rocking. Regardless, great vid! Again!
Lol I agree but horses for courses!
Cool Video Mr. JWW keep it up I'm really enjoying your videos :)
Greetings from Vienna
Thanks buddy!
Your videos are getting better and better man - stylistically of course; an F12 or speciale is always going to be more exciting than an S1 ;) Although I too have a special place in my heart for manual hot hatches
I actually love the spec on that s1 with the matching interior, veeeery nice
+Inaki12 It's a fun little rocket!
Whoooahh dude, you in a car with passenger back seats and four doors!! Thought you were gonna freak out for a moment!

Ace video, love the colour! 😍
Thanks dude!
You are such a cool and awesome guy,keep up the good work and please make a garage tour video !!
Many thanks David!
wow you're really good at making videos man you should upload more often
Thanks bro! I'm working on it - can't always find the time 🙈
your gear changes are slick mate
Great Upload keep them coming !
Thank you sir!

Sweet, these little cars are so good on tight country roads 🚕💨💨💨
awesome car and color!
MR JWW, it's got to be about time for that trip to ABT or REVO. 330-350hp S1, oh yes!
I like your channel mate keep going @JWW
+Théo Blanchard Thanks Théo - working on lots more cool stuff this year : )
Very cool! I would love one of these in my garage! A man can dream...
+Dylan Petersen It is a lot of fun!
Why do you remind me of Danny from Grease, in a good way! I think it’s the hair and the jacket, so so cool!! That car is immense still I love it!
Nice write up! Loving mine, especially now in the wet. Mine is Misano red with the black pack, so has the black 'dechromed' grill. Looks ace 😉
Awesome 👍🏻

Lovely car. For me, the GTI PP is spot on for every day useability with that remarkable LSD.
I agree
Another great Video Mr JWW love the review on this beast of a car, maybe a Porsche GT4 is coming soon, cause if it is, THAT is a proper drivers car 👍🏼
i really do love your channel!
You don't get more power putting in higher octane fuel, unless it's tuned for that or you have different maps to change from.
Nice little run-around. However I would've waited for the Focus RS or got a Golf R or Cupra Sub8.
love your video's man!
Awesome thanks!
You have the perfect garage in my opinion
Many thanks
British Scott Disick
I seem to get this a lot...is that a good thing? 😂
+Mr JWW hell yeah!
a girl who knows how to drive a stick. she's a keeper
Most people here in the uk know how to drive manual. even women.
Ha move to the UK
+soubido No way man, it's better that a girl doesn't know so she won't touch your car and curb all your wheels, scratch your car with her nails, etc.
In my country, Romania, you can't get the driving licence if you don't know how to drive a manual car. You can have driving lessons on an auto, but the driving exam must be taken on a manual.
soubido yea it does now fuck off and have a good christmas :D
You should put the A1 Quattro Gear knob in this thing. It looks great!!
It could do with lots of cool upgrades!
It's funny how out of place you look in that car because we're used to seeing you in supercars
I´d say torque steer is when the torque turn the front wheels. A common problem as mentioned.
Nice man ! cool looking S1
don't wait a year or 2 for the upgrade, do it now, go on, you KNOW YOU WANNA !!!
Awesome one, man!! Looks mean & lean :)
Thanks bro!
+Mr JWW Keep the content coming. Love it, JWW :)
Hey man, great video once again! Nice pocket rocket for the run around when u can grab it off your girlfriend!
Thanks for explaining torque steer lol. Think 99% of ur viewers already know what it is...I hope :)
Ha ha - most do but shouldn't neglect it for those that don't 😋
I currently have an a1 185, my S1 comes March the 1st, I haven't test driven one yet so it'll be a surprise, but I'm going for revo map after a while hoping for 330bhp, then maybe stage 2 later on with golf r turbo and other upgrades to about 400bhp !:)
Hey Mr JWW, did you consider any other cars before choosing this? Such as the Mercedes A-Class 250 AMG, or was it always going to be the Audi S1?
+F50Nick Hey buddy, because I was also buying it for my partner she also had a say in it and she wanted something really small and in this space that narrows it down to pretty much ht he S1 or Mini John Cooper Works which she felt was a bit too "boy racer" for her.

Nice video, as always. By the way, are you filming your videos with the new DJI camera? Because the exterior shots are reeeally smooth and stabilized.
In canada I've never seen anything over 94 octane, so I'm wondering if people with supercars here just put 94 octane?
+Sukun Paul In Canada if that's all you have then I guess so?
Mr JWW So i guess it's not a requirement to have the highest octane then, the supercars can take lower octanes without issue?
also just watched your R8 V10 video with the camera just falling down LOLd hard man
Ye, there is a system called "flex fuel".
In the UK they use a system called RON for octane ratings, whereas in Canada and the United States, we use AKI. 91,94 and 95 are the highest, but they are nearly equivalent to the highest RON octane ratings in the UK.
How much fun do you have in this compared to when you take your Speciale out for a joy ride? Is it a comparable amount of excitement and enjoyment?
I can't pretend..no ha ha - but it is still a lot of fun in it's own space and I enjoy being in it.
+Mr JWW That Ferrari is an absolute masterpiece, I only ask because some people enjoy thrashing low HP cars more than driving supercars they can't exploit on the road.
My sister has one of these. Crazy little car!
+Andy Longhurst So fun right!?
Incredibly good car.
5.9 seconds to 60 in a car the size of a Fiesta.
Great review,really like the car. Should be a bit better on fuel than the f12 lol
Hows it geared? I can imagine its probably quite long geared because 5.9 seconds although is fast doesn't seem quick enough for the power and AWD when you consider the GTi has the same engine and FWD but manages to do the sprint to 60 in 6.5 seconds (also weighs more)
+S Miller Gearing is a little long but not too bad, and honestly that 5.9 to 60 is conservative it's very low 5's maybe high 4's in the right conditions.
Mr JWW Fair enough because ive got a 180hp 320nn Ibiza FR so same chassis with FWD and get times of 6 seconds. Guess they lied about the acceleration times on the S1 so nobody would buy it over the S3.
Tbh I'm disappointed with my GTI. The gearing is so long it's almost tedious. I shouldn't have overlooked the S1
***** Wonder if theres a difference in gearing lengths with the DSG and Manual on the GTI? Going to guess you have the manual?
Damn that's a good looking S1!
Although I may have gone for the 'Engineered by AMG' 250 A class....
Or M135?
nice videos! what do you do for a living? any advice for a 18 year old like me? (drive a skyline r34, my dad bought it)
Mr JWW looks so much like Scott Disick its unbelievable
legend
great video as always, love the car!
but am i the only one who can watch it only in 360p? :(
+ajhb wtf now it works in HD...
+ajhb yeah i think once the video is uploaded to youtube it takes a little while before it renders in HD etc, dont worry, you're not the only one! :P
1st like 1st view
I think volvo s60 is better because it goes 280 km an hour or 110 miles per hour an the interior is surprisingly like that car it has the same style seats anyway nice car and nice vids keep up the vids!! 😉👍
+Follow these people 2015 instagram 280km/h isnt 110mp/h and why would you want a daily driver ish/practical car to go 280km/h?
Ye well I live in Germany and you can go around about any speed you want
Follow these people 2015 instagram Lol
I don't think I've seen any of your cars wrapped. do you not like all the matte black/red wraps that other youtubers are so fond of?....also are you into detailing, like do you wash your own car and polish it??
Hey man, maybe one day but a great paint job is hard to beat! R8 & S1 I take to get washed, Ferraris I wash myself 👍🏻
Nice vidéo!
love your videos man, keep it up! what do you do for a living, that allows you to have all these cars? :D
Thanks! Getting round to a bit more insight on www.MrJWW.com soon!
Hi mate, what made you choose an s1 over the s3?
Awsome video you beardy legend! Please keep making vids! Would be interesting to hear your views on business too...
Excellent and yellow too no .iwas not keen on Audi but I had a a1 s line recently and it totally changed my mind grazie Mille ciao ciao
Get an M2 in 2016 with manual, exactly what you want and what we would like to see! Thanks!
Did you consider the likes of something more powerful such as an Audi S3/RS3 or Golf R?
I didn't buy it primarily for myself - my partner wanted something really small and I wanted something quick > there it is!
Damn you got badass cars and a beard too haha
It's too bad (for me) that they aren't available in the U.S. It seems like an excellent little car.
I bought my S1 on the strength of this vid,do some upgrades on it.As a S1 is the best some of us can afford it would be nice to see what could be done,and you would do it properly, hint hint.
How come you decided on yellow?
