The Caterham 310R, Simply Brilliant. Full review | Ben and Jon Do Cars

The lovely chaps at Caterham gave us one of their 310R's for a few days and it rocked! We believe this is the most fun car you can get in this price range. check out the video to see why.
Thanks Caterham, this was the best fun EVER.

Had the pleasure of driving the very same car awesome experience 👍👍

[@deseast1267]

I've often gone out to fill up my Caterham and then after leaving the gas station come back home with less fuel than I started with.

[@BenandJonDoCars]

We can see how that is easily done!

[@dbond9618]

It's a lot better than the number plates you supplied with my truck Ben 🚚🛻😜

Nice video chaps.

[@BenandJonDoCars]

thanks man, appreciate the view and the comment!

[@sproony2715]

Good video
Engine isn’t a 1.6 Duratec though, it’s a 1.6 Sigma

[@BenandJonDoCars]

Hi Sproony Sparks, thanks for watching and pointing that out! 👍

[@danielpickett4692]

How tall are you guys? I'm looking at a caterham as my next toy but being 6 2" may be a problem :(

[@BenandJonDoCars]

I'm 6ft 1" (Jonny) and I'm a lanky bugger but I could fit in it fine. We did have the large chassis one which supposedly is suitable for people up to 6ft 6". The standard chassis is suitable for people up to 6ft 2" but I sat in one and it was bloody tight!

[@stephenforster1960]

Daniel, I’m just under 6’2” with 32” inside leg. I’ve got a S3 chassis with composite seats and have loads of leg room with my knees nowhere near the steering wheel. I’m guessing my body is where my height is held as I do sit quite high. We’ll below the screen and roll-bar, but with the side screens (doors) fitted, my vision to my right is sometimes obscured by the side screen surround. I am however so pleased I bought a S3 as I much prefer it’s looks / proportions.
I did buy mine unseen from a dealer 500 miles from where I live without ever even sitting in a Caterham, it was quite an expensive gamble and I was somewhat terrified with the prospect of explaining to my wife I’d bought a car that I couldn’t drive or fit in.
One thing I imagine you’ll need is a pair of racing boots. I’ve tried to drive mine with normal trainers and can almost push all the pedals at once when braking.

[@danielpickett4692]

@@stephenforster1960 Thanks for the reply John, but I had my Caterham delivered on Wednesday :D and I fit nice and comfortably

[@kloppsliverpudlians88]

Is this an S3 or SV chassis? Lowered floors?

[@BenandJonDoCars]

It’s the SV chassis. Relatively roomy compared to the S3. More of a tourer feel in some respects

[@gavinivers8941]

Sir, you need to learn to do a harness up. The lap straps is way too high! It should be across you pelvise.

[@BenandJonDoCars]

Thanks Gavin. Did you like the video?
