Might be worth mentioning that despite depreciation making cars cheap, the running costs service costs and parts remain the same, so be sure you can afford this..
Also a lot of these will be in the higher road tax brackets. That really puts me off, would never pay£5-600 per year for a car that doesn't get used that much. That's why certain models are difficult to sell on (also when you factor in the servicing and parts costs).

What's even more interesting is how much new car prices have gone up by in the last 10-20 years (yes, I'm accounting for inflation), especially when it comes to affordable performance cars like hot hatches. Turns out that loading cars up with pointless "safety" tech demanded by regulators does make the modern like-for-like model far more expensive than it used to be.
My dream car is the 2017-2021 Audi TTS. Its so criminally underrated. Its very fast, has great tech, looks stunning, has decent luggage space, has an awesome exhaust note, has superb handling, and is very reliable. Its so sad how few journalists on UA-cam have actually reviewed this car. The TTRS is better in every way. I just think its too fast to have as a daily driver.
You can have such good deals for used cars in the UK, while here in Italy it's almost impossible! The CLS AMG in the video costs around 7 grand while here you can barely find a base model CLS for that price
@@bigduphusaj162 mate, maybe you can give a list of reliable performance cars that are better than the BMWs and Mercs mentioned in the vid. I am sure you know some reliable ones at the given price points
I'd throw in a Jaguar XK/XKR. Haven't checked in a while since I decided to buy new in a bout of madness, but they were going in the region of £12-16k depending on spec and mileage. XKR more expensive ofc. Beautiful car though albeit a big GT and not a proper back road twistie machine or track weapon.
A 335i E9x series should’ve been there on the list, it comes with a 3.0 twin turbo N54 engine (n55 if it’s the facelift) over 300hp but most of them come tuned with 400-500hp
I absolutely love the selection of performance car bargains in this video, it makes me excited to hit the road with style! 😍 It's amazing how you can find such great deals on these impressive cars, definitely giving me some serious car envy! 🚗
The 330i touring and the Z4 have the same engine. I have a 330ci coupé and it's truly lovely how smooth it is, how nice goes on low revs, and sounds so fruty
@@ThatFL232 yeah, I have upgraded suspension, brakes, semislicks and bigger antirollbars, and with that the car improves a lot his track performance, specially with better brakes and the antirollbars.
Honestly a used mustang gt or camaro ss are the best performace bargains period at least in the US. That's how they started out and are still true many decades later
Nissan Skyline GT-R, Nissan Silvia, Toyota Supra JZA80, Honda S2000, Mazda RX-7, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and also Subaru Impreza WRX STI. that also bargain as well.

I would strongly advise against buying aging German cars as the number of issues become an avalanche, especially with electronics. While it may sound a bargain now, but some short time later the cost of ownership and repair things like V8 will destroy your budget. I would rather look at older (even from 90s) Japanese cars - that was a time when they made it with 1M km engine resource.
Many or most of these cars will be very heavy on fuel. Cheap to purchase the car. You will likely spend a lot on: fuel, fuel, insurance, service, maintenance, tyres, fixing faults, etc. I have made a note of the 15 cars, but doubt I will buy any of them. Very good video though. Fuel costs must be noteworthy nowadays surely.
Mat has been getting some sun. Probably on a beach somewhere. Must be nice to be Mat. Yea I’m jealous. He just welcomed a little angel to the world and he gets paid to be around cars. I’m extremely jelly and happy for him at the same time.
I used to have an E60 BMW 535d (2008) and had it remapped. It was so much fun to drive and blisteringly quick and really comfortable with Michelin SS tyres on (just get rid of the runflats is my only advice). Keep the M sport suspension- it’s supple and does a good job on UK roads. Do not ruin with coil overs ! Honestly I miss that car and I bought a later model 2016 535i petrol in 2016 and it was not as nice as the earlier E60. Other than that a Focus ST with the 2.5 engine is a good buy too. I think an early (2002) R53 Mini Cooper S is a good buy but not as much fun as a 2004/5 Renault Clio 182. 😉✌🏼
@@AudriusLTT I think people would disagree with me. I just didn’t like the F10 as much but maybe the fact it was petrol and less torque? But the ride felt firmer. I did modify the E60 a lot though.
M135i should have been instead of the golf for car under 15k in sports hatch. Arguably the best engine you can get for the price. M140i would be better but it's hard to find a nice one for under 15k probably closer to 17-18
Dear Matt. Look could be deceptive. Except ,those cars have.□ A written cost estimation warranty by warranty wise recommendation. □ Those cars are sold by your trusted dealers,stating the cost of repair,repaired,and or cost of mileage guarantee after purchased.🙏
M4 is quite cheap for what it gives you. I have never driven it, but something has been driving the price down. I think they look fabulous, engines seems quote reliable, lots of power, tuning potential, LSD, lots of gadgets so can be a good daily.
You missed the fastest absolute bargain sports / performance car. The Audi TTS, 6-8k gets you an AWD car that does 0-60 in 5.2s standard or 4.4s with a standard remap. Why pay 17k for something like a Golf R or an S3 when for half the price you can get something that handles and looks way better!
Been watching Carwow for over five years since 15 years old! One of a kind car journalist! I have seen him work for other car dealers in ths past (is it that what they called! It is a website but ) I mean look at him now! He has become more hilarous and old (Very sorry, I have seen you for too long )since the years passed! I was a car freak since 5 yrs old! And my father had it too! He even studied it at as a basket subject at school! (Motor engineering) and my grandma too has it! But I did n't know it since 2 years back! Is it something genetic! 🔴He was kind of the only one who made me laugh during the bad times! 🔴As a car journalist his perspectives of distinguishing the best vehicle out there is truly unique! The verdict at the end! Is always agreeable 🔴It is like watching SHREK (the movie, I hope it is relatable I know it is a movie) there bits of phrases you just have to be old enough to understand!( Eg: the viagra situation) 🔴There website is too quite easy to use first you have to choose the manufacturer, then the drive train, after that the trim!
I believe that a Porsche Boxster could and should be featured in list of 15 cars. Also, Ford Focus ST, Renault Clio RenaultSport, Renault Megane RenaultSport, etc Most of the 15 cars featured drink far to much fuel for my liking.
Let me give y'all an absolute gem. Around 2k *Hyundai Coupe/Tiburon - 2002-2006* Comes with either a 143HP 2.0 or a 167HP V6. V6 might be hard to find in manual though. I personally went for the 2.0, and mine's from 2006. It runs way cheaper than the V6 and it doesn't change much in performance (and I really wanted a manual). Lovely car, never really had serious issues at all. If you get the right model, it comes with full leather interior, heated seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, sunroof that opens up, automatically dimming interior mirror, adjustable lower back support and a lil space for sunglasses near ur interior mirror. The car drives absolutely lovely and does 0-60 in 8.75 ish. Top speed about 230 km/h or 143mph. Mileage is also very decent IMO. When I drive it economically I get up to 32MPG or 1:13.7km. The cruise control of course helps a lot, I use it so damn much, and it works perfectly and is just lovely to use. The boot is very big and fits a shit ton of stuff. When you fold the rear seats down it is quite insane how much space there is. I've even slept in there (I'm a big guy fyi). Only things I've had to replace were two brake calipers in the 50.000km I've put on it, which I did myself and cost like 200 bucks with new pads. Oh and it uses very little oil. And the best part might be the amazing sound it makes with an aftermarket exhaust. Like unironically one of the best sounding 4 cylinder cars I've heard, and many people that hear it agree with me. It's a very low and bass heavy sound, actually lovely. If you're more into the high pitch noises, then you'll probably disagree, but I love bass heavy and low sounds. I think the only downside is the little amount of space you have in the rear seats, but I often have 4 people in the car anyway if it's needed, and at least it's an option, though not a good one lol. Things I recommend: - The car comes with a horrendous and humongous extending antenna. Get a smaller one or remove it completely. I personally pushed mine inside and disconnected it, that way it's gone, and waterproof still. - Get one with dark headlights. You'll see when you look them up, some come with light headlights and some with dark. The dark ones just look so much better. - The base rims are kinda dead, get some new ones, it makes the car look so much better. Leave a comment if you have questions or want to hear the sound lol. I'll add you on snapchat or Instagram or something and send a clip or two. This was my essay, I just can't recommend this car enough. Cheers.
@@ollijokinen1571 Except not, cause the looks alone are 30× better. The rear of the Toyota is so fucking ugly lol, it literally gets memed. The rear of the Coupe is literally stunning, amazing lines and design. And, the Toyotas for sale generally have crazy crazy mileage, but still cost over twice the price of the Coupe, cause so many more people know about the Celica. Not to mention the interior of the Celica also looks a lot less clean and modern. And... heated seats, sunroof, adjustable lumbar support in the seats, child seat anker points, better sound, more uncommon etc. etc. The only positive for the Toyota is that it has slightly better specs for performance, but there's not much in it. I've raced a couple of them, it's almost the same. If you get the V6 Coupe (still cheaper than the Toyota) then you're even a little faster than the Celica. Overall the Coupe is the way more complete car, with more options and way better looks, and all of that for like a third of the price
@@_-Anthony-_ I think looks should be left out of the question because its all subjective in the end. Both look fine to me tho. I do consume fairly much automotive content but I've never seen or heard people calling the 7th gen Celica's rear ugly. I really can't figure out whats wrong with it tho? The proportions seem fine to me. Sure looks a little old but all 20+ year old cars do. You mentioned that the Celicas have high mileage and cost a lot but thats the case for a lot of old Toyotas at least where I live. People know how damn durable they are which shows on the resale value of them. The fact that there are a bunch of 250 000km, 300 000km+ Celicas for sale is a testament to the reliability. And I'm not saying the Hyundai isnt reliable. After all, most cars can be reliable if you don't neglect basic maintenance. But the Japanese really take pride to their work and craftsmanship which really shows. Toyota's and Honda's are always praised for their reliability. And performance wise as you said the Celica has the upper hand. Not by much but still. The power is about the same for the less powerful models (140~) but the Celica is slightly quicker to 100km/h. It's fuel consumption is also slightly lower which is a nice thing with current awful fuel prices. The 190hp/T-Sport/SS-II model on the other hand has a more significant performance edge over the V6 Coupe but it is more expensive. Also, insurance and tax wise the Celica was actually quite significantly cheaper to me mainly due to lower Co2 emissions. Of course all that stuff varies depending on where you live. Now options wise I'l admit the Coupe may indeed be better but it's newer after all. Personally coming from a 30+ year old Corolla to my Celica, it almost feels rich on options haha. I even have power steering which I didn't have before lmao. So all in all, the Celica just seems like the better car to me performance, reliability and economy wise.
Why are all the big channels turning into this cheap content and hardly doing car reviews or driving others' cars anyone? Doughnut media has gone the same route. I remember when a car channel had to make quality content but now they are making cheap easy-to-make content. A British car reviewer covered this topic saying it's too much hard work for the numbers, so he just reacts to the videos now instead and is quitting altogether driving modified cars. Sadly, multiple creators are going this way. I remember creates said I would rather make your quality videos instead of making fast, easy content. But here we are with him doing exactly that
For under 5k you can't beat an a3 or s3, the older ones, better quality than the Ford and quicker. Also cheaper to tax and insure as they are only 1.8t, if you get the 1.8t quattro, you get 180hp standard, a tune takes that straight upto 225hp and like I said interior and exterior quality is one of the best
Better quality lol. Terrible to drive, the bodies rot like crazy, terrible gearboxes, the interiors melt in the sun and they blow turbos and burn oil like there is no tomorrow. The mk4 Golf chassis is a turd that can't be polished
@@Nakke144 bullcrap, I've had 3 and none had rot, my turbo had 149k on it by time I got rid of it, interior was mint on all 3, everything worked, quattro drove better than almost any modern pos, and the 6 speed in the turbo was perfect. You clearly bought some cheap ass beaters. Or your confusing it with a bmw. Look at my videos over 20 years old and nothing wrong with them.
You make me dreaming : Mercedes CLS 55 AMG, BMW M3 V8, Porsche 996 and of course the V8 4.0 liter twin turbo AMG on C class, on E class . Do you think that this V8 AMG is one of the best motor ever built ????

Might be worth mentioning that despite depreciation making cars cheap, the running costs service costs and parts remain the same, so be sure you can afford this..
For some cars, maintanence costs increase with time. So its not unwise to buy old cool enthusiast cars, if you have set aside money for maintanence
Yes, a CLS AMG service visit could cost the purchase price.
Also a lot of these will be in the higher road tax brackets. That really puts me off, would never pay£5-600 per year for a car that doesn't get used that much.

Or rusty Jaguar XJR X308 with 385hp supercharged V8 for under £2k. About the RX8 - you guys can't be serious recommending that car.
I'm glad to see the gt4 on here but I think an aristo would have been good for the video. 2jz engine under 10k
All those cars are insane and impressed me a lot!
Carwow didnt add 110S.
Insane 💤
Those cars are SO much more expensive in Canada, like these prices are shockingly low!
992 Turbo S and Tesla plaid real bargain in performance
Dear Matt.
Look could be deceptive.
Except ,those cars have.□ A written cost estimation warranty by warranty wise recommendation. □ Those cars are sold by your trusted dealers,stating the cost of repair,repaired,and or cost of mileage guarantee after purchased.🙏
Good video! RenaultSport Clio 200 from circa 2010 should be in there though. Even though the Civic Type R is good.
Nice job 👌 thanx! 👍
I wonder if carwow makes more money from Matts videos that buying/selling cars :D
Nice video!
The CLS is probably the best here
Seems like one of those videos Mat made just so he can add it to his playlist on youtube for which cars to buy next
Avoid the Mazda RX8 even if it’s free! You’re welcome.
Really good video Matt
Anyone recommending a second hand BMW has NO IDEA what they are talking about. DO NOT GO NEAR A USED BMW!!
M4 is quite cheap for what it gives you. I have never driven it, but something has been driving the price down. I think they look fabulous, engines seems quote reliable, lots of power, tuning potential, LSD, lots of gadgets so can be a good daily.
BMW M3 and Celica GTFOUR all variants are also cheap yet powerful.
Celica is my favorite mid 90's Toyota.
I was looking at that exact e63 last night wondering what issues it might have. Thanks carwow!
There is no bragin in paying huge taxes for big engines.
You missed the fastest absolute bargain sports / performance car.
The Audi TTS, 6-8k gets you an AWD car that does 0-60 in 5.2s standard or 4.4s with a standard remap.
Why pay 17k for something like a Golf R or an S3 when for half the price you can get something that handles and looks way better!
I hate those celica gt4 rims ..what were they thinking putting those on.
The cls55 is great. Best amg engine. But i would get the clk 55... I just think it looks better
Bmw M3 of the best V8 sound ever made because is N/A without turbo
Mr Watson will you please review the fiesta st, I'm looking to buy a used 2013-2015 models
FYI the r53 Mini Cooper s is also an oil fiend, so check it often.
Been watching Carwow for over five years since 15 years old! One of a kind car journalist! I have seen him work for other car dealers in ths past (is it that what they called! It is a website but ) I mean look at him now! He has become more hilarous and old (Very sorry, I have seen you for too long )since the years passed! I was a car freak since 5 yrs old! And my father had it too! He even studied it at as a basket subject at school! (Motor engineering) and my grandma too has it! But I did n't know it since 2 years back! Is it something genetic!
🔴He was kind of the only one who made me laugh during the bad times!
🔴As a car journalist his perspectives of distinguishing the best vehicle out there is truly unique! The verdict at the end! Is always agreeable
🔴It is like watching SHREK (the movie, I hope it is relatable I know it is a movie) there bits of phrases you just have to be old enough to understand!( Eg: the viagra situation)
🔴There website is too quite easy to
use first you have to choose the manufacturer, then the drive train, after that the trim!
Woow that was too long!
Always wanted an EP3 Type R. Looked at dozens of them, and every one in my price range was an absolute shed.
Ive got a mint one going up for sale very soon. Mines a premier Edition also.
Mat can you drag race a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport against a Rimac Nevera with Yianni?
Wish car wow app would work in South Africa
I believe that a Porsche Boxster could and should be featured in list of 15 cars.
Also,
Ford Focus ST, Renault Clio RenaultSport, Renault Megane RenaultSport, etc
Most of the 15 cars featured drink far to much fuel for my liking.
Damn, UK cars a quite a bit cheaper than here in Australia
good video, thank you
Let me give y'all an absolute gem. Around 2k
*Hyundai Coupe/Tiburon - 2002-2006*
Comes with either a 143HP 2.0 or a 167HP V6. V6 might be hard to find in manual though. I personally went for the 2.0, and mine's from 2006. It runs way cheaper than the V6 and it doesn't change much in performance (and I really wanted a manual). Lovely car, never really had serious issues at all.
If you get the right model, it comes with full leather interior, heated seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, sunroof that opens up, automatically dimming interior mirror, adjustable lower back support and a lil space for sunglasses near ur interior mirror.
The car drives absolutely lovely and does 0-60 in 8.75 ish. Top speed about 230 km/h or 143mph.
Mileage is also very decent IMO. When I drive it economically I get up to 32MPG or 1:13.7km. The cruise control of course helps a lot, I use it so damn much, and it works perfectly and is just lovely to use.
The boot is very big and fits a shit ton of stuff. When you fold the rear seats down it is quite insane how much space there is. I've even slept in there (I'm a big guy fyi).
Only things I've had to replace were two brake calipers in the 50.000km I've put on it, which I did myself and cost like 200 bucks with new pads. Oh and it uses very little oil.
And the best part might be the amazing sound it makes with an aftermarket exhaust. Like unironically one of the best sounding 4 cylinder cars I've heard, and many people that hear it agree with me. It's a very low and bass heavy sound, actually lovely. If you're more into the high pitch noises, then you'll probably disagree, but I love bass heavy and low sounds.
I think the only downside is the little amount of space you have in the rear seats, but I often have 4 people in the car anyway if it's needed, and at least it's an option, though not a good one lol.
Things I recommend:
- The car comes with a horrendous and humongous extending antenna. Get a smaller one or remove it completely. I personally pushed mine inside and disconnected it, that way it's gone, and waterproof still.
- Get one with dark headlights. You'll see when you look them up, some come with light headlights and some with dark. The dark ones just look so much better.
- The base rims are kinda dead, get some new ones, it makes the car look so much better.
Leave a comment if you have questions or want to hear the sound lol. I'll add you on snapchat or Instagram or something and send a clip or two.
This was my essay, I just can't recommend this car enough. Cheers.
The Hyundai Coupe is a decent car sure. I even considered one but honestly, its just a worse version of the 7th gen Toyota Celica lol
@@ollijokinen1571 Except not, cause the looks alone are 30× better. The rear of the Toyota is so fucking ugly lol, it literally gets memed. The rear of the Coupe is literally stunning, amazing lines and design.
And, the Toyotas for sale generally have crazy crazy mileage, but still cost over twice the price of the Coupe, cause so many more people know about the Celica. Not to mention the interior of the Celica also looks a lot less clean and modern.
And... heated seats, sunroof, adjustable lumbar support in the seats, child seat anker points, better sound, more uncommon etc. etc.
The only positive for the Toyota is that it has slightly better specs for performance, but there's not much in it. I've raced a couple of them, it's almost the same. If you get the V6 Coupe (still cheaper than the Toyota) then you're even a little faster than the Celica.
Overall the Coupe is the way more complete car, with more options and way better looks, and all of that for like a third of the price
@@_-Anthony-_ I think looks should be left out of the question because its all subjective in the end. Both look fine to me tho. I do consume fairly much automotive content but I've never seen or heard people calling the 7th gen Celica's rear ugly. I really can't figure out whats wrong with it tho? The proportions seem fine to me. Sure looks a little old but all 20+ year old cars do.
You mentioned that the Celicas have high mileage and cost a lot but thats the case for a lot of old Toyotas at least where I live. People know how damn durable they are which shows on the resale value of them. The fact that there are a bunch of 250 000km, 300 000km+ Celicas for sale is a testament to the reliability. And I'm not saying the Hyundai isnt reliable. After all, most cars can be reliable if you don't neglect basic maintenance. But the Japanese really take pride to their work and craftsmanship which really shows. Toyota's and Honda's are always praised for their reliability.
And performance wise as you said the Celica has the upper hand. Not by much but still. The power is about the same for the less powerful models (140~) but the Celica is slightly quicker to 100km/h. It's fuel consumption is also slightly lower which is a nice thing with current awful fuel prices. The 190hp/T-Sport/SS-II model on the other hand has a more significant performance edge over the V6 Coupe but it is more expensive.
Also, insurance and tax wise the Celica was actually quite significantly cheaper to me mainly due to lower Co2 emissions. Of course all that stuff varies depending on where you live.
Now options wise I'l admit the Coupe may indeed be better but it's newer after all. Personally coming from a 30+ year old Corolla to my Celica, it almost feels rich on options haha. I even have power steering which I didn't have before lmao.
So all in all, the Celica just seems like the better car to me performance, reliability and economy wise.
Dear god that e63 sure looks appealing
Vauxhall speedster/ or Gt should be on your list dude !
This video lets me know that the used car market in Portugal is crap...
Why are all the big channels turning into this cheap content and hardly doing car reviews or driving others' cars anyone? Doughnut media has gone the same route.
I remember when a car channel had to make quality content but now they are making cheap easy-to-make content.
A British car reviewer covered this topic saying it's too much hard work for the numbers, so he just reacts to the videos now instead and is quitting altogether driving modified cars.
Sadly, multiple creators are going this way. I remember creates said I would rather make your quality videos instead of making fast, easy content. But here we are with him doing exactly that
Intro had me laughing!
That w219 cls is so beautiful
Absolutely bonkers recommendations Mat.
Matt didnt include Alfa Romeo 8C.
Those sellers will be now wondering why all the many new messages are coming from 😅👍 Thought they are really nice finds! Nicely done.
The RX8 you showed pictures of is the low HP version with 190hp not 230. You can tell as it doesn't have the headlight washers.
Hot hatch have to disagree with the bad choice putting a Honda in there, should have been a ford focus st mk2 or a ford fiesta st180
For under 5k you can't beat an a3 or s3, the older ones, better quality than the Ford and quicker. Also cheaper to tax and insure as they are only 1.8t, if you get the 1.8t quattro, you get 180hp standard, a tune takes that straight upto 225hp and like I said interior and exterior quality is one of the best
Better quality lol. Terrible to drive, the bodies rot like crazy, terrible gearboxes, the interiors melt in the sun and they blow turbos and burn oil like there is no tomorrow. The mk4 Golf chassis is a turd that can't be polished
@@Nakke144 bullcrap, I've had 3 and none had rot, my turbo had 149k on it by time I got rid of it, interior was mint on all 3, everything worked, quattro drove better than almost any modern pos, and the 6 speed in the turbo was perfect. You clearly bought some cheap ass beaters. Or your confusing it with a bmw. Look at my videos over 20 years old and nothing wrong with them.
You make me dreaming : Mercedes CLS 55 AMG, BMW M3 V8, Porsche 996 and of course the V8 4.0 liter twin turbo AMG on C class, on E class . Do you think that this V8 AMG is one of the best motor ever built ????
All bmw's with n54 is insanee
Those old CLS were so well designed. Don’t look like a nearly 20 year old car
Looks outdated lol
@@mk3tsi it's 20, of course it does. But it still looks excellent for the period, fresher looking than pretty anything from that period.
Thanks nephew Mat for sharing this.
