    This car absolutely surpassed all my expectations. I was expecting this lower end model to be a bit lacklustre, but for the road this car is an absolute hoot! What are your thoughts? A daily caterham? 🤔

      Hi ! The video is great (the engine sound is present without being over the top, the pictures are amazing) ! However, there is a small niggle : your voice when commenting your impressions (in the car) . there is a lot of wind and engine noise so, at moments, it's hard to ear your thoughts. Otherwise, I'm glad you reviewed something different (especially in my country, France) and that has an "old-school" recipe (Front engine, RWD, N/A, light, enough power that can be envoyed everyday, on any roads).
      Following the old-school way, there the Subaru/Toyota siblings (BRZ/GT86). Have you had the opportunity to drive one (or more) ? If you did, what's you're thoughts ? If you didn't, this car(s) interest you ?
      And, finally, on an different topic, how is the Fiesta ? Do you plan to mod it more ? Any wish to put Ford performance suspension on your Fiesta ST ? According the your review of the performance edition, they are worth it (better ride control and more comfort if I'm right. ;)
      Keep doing what you're doing. :D
      P.S. : Sorry for the 62493 lines long text. ;)

    What an absolutely awesome car. I think it's so refreshing that in this day and age, someone still makes a car that is stripped back, visceral and FUN! Great video as always too.

      Cheers mate. I totally agree with your thoughts 🙌🏼

    JB, you are completely right - anyone who says you need more power doesn't understand these cars. The 270 is perfect. Sounds great, drives like a dream and you can put your foot down without losing your license or killing someone. The best Caterham in my opinion.

      Hi ! This philosophy is what aimed Subaru (and Toyota) with their coupe siblings. But somewhat, the BRZ/86 is still lacking for power according to 95% of the people who reviewed them.

    8:00 I'm sure you probably know about this already, but not getting the lowered floors really helps with this. SV with lowered floors is really only for very tall people.

    The best quote I ever read about the Caterham was “it’s the kind of car that makes other people put their two thumbs up…. Not their two fingers up”!

      So true as well :)

    Larger Serries 5 SV chassis which looks a bit awkward from some angles and heavier compared to the original S3 chassis models but still goes like stink!!

    • @betacam235
      @betacam235 3 роки тому +2

      If you stick a set of the carbon 'canards' on the nosecone sides, the SV looks far less slab sides from front 3/4 view. The centre stripes narrow it visually as well.

    • @betacam235
      @betacam235 3 роки тому +1

      Arrgg. 'slab sided....'

    How is the power. I've never driven anything close to as light as a Caterham, but does the 130ish horsepower engine leave you wanting more?

    • @JBCTR
      @JBCTR  4 роки тому +1

      Kyle Strangely, it didn’t. I mean, more power is always great fun but I never thought ‘this is slow.’ BHP per tonne is about the same as my modified fiesta and this would be faster through the corners.

  • @ColinMill1
    @ColinMill1 3 роки тому

    It's worth remembering that the car developed its reputation as the Lotus 7 and under Lotus manufacture was never fitted with anything more than 105 BHP (Lotus Twin-cam engine)

    If you're looking for a modern Caterham, you should be looking in the Netherlands at Donkervoort ;-D

    What's up with that huge rear wheel gap? Also, the rear wheel has a wrong offset, wheel has to be flush with the fender.

    You like the brand because they gave you a free car for a bit to make a pointless UA-cam video. Rubbish.
