Congrats on getting your license. The Polo with a 1.4 is a very decent first car. As someone who has been in your shoes my advice is to hold out on doing anything too fancy and treat this car exactly for what it is, something to build up car control, basic mechanical knowledge and getting you from A to B. Once you’ve mastered and discovered the true potential of the car safely, you’ll have the knowledge to step up to the next level and know when and how to explore the limits of a new car. Safe motoring mate 👍
Some good choices here, decided to get myself the 335i DCT instead of the M3, the rod bearing issue worries me too much and I prefer the facelift styling
Unpopular opinion: The BMW M3 E92 is one of the best M cars ever produced, like the 370Z it marks the end of an era if you ask me. All the later M cars became too much technological and besides having a 7 gear dual clutch transmission, this car still is analog M3. Also having tha naturally aspirated V8 in a BMW is something we probably never going to see again and its quite a shame... Great video as always JB!
As a fellow petrol head I see exactly where you are coming from and agree with you. There are hardly any new cars on the market that give you the same visceral feelings. All the emission regulations have made cars go turbo and the lust by the consumer to have more and more power from these engines have made the engineers and product managers shape the cars the way they are today. Dare I say cars are becoming less characterful than their older generations.
Another absolute banger! 🔥🔥🔥 Personally I would go with the TTRS definitely a great car at that price range and unique engine too. Do love an e92 M3 though the nicer examples are closer to 20k.
Bought myself an SLK55 AMG nearly 5 years ago. Mercedes hid the fact that it's 0-60 time is actually quicker than the SL. Probably because it was half the price. Not only do I love this mental little car to bits but it's now worth more than I paid for it. Win win.
Currently got a nicer daily (although WFH so might as well just call it a 'weekly') and a cheap-as-chips weekend car that has been off the road the last 3 years anyway. Seriously tempted to sack them both off, get a cheap daily them something like these for the weekend whip!
The TTRS looks cool, but if I got one I’d feel as though people would look at me and think it’s girly, especially my friends. Has anyone got one? Does anyone think it’s girly?
Lol who cares what they think bro as long as you like the car that’s all that matters. And 345bhp, awd monster with that symphony 5pot is defo not “girly”
A bit weird you didn’t list a C5 or even a C6 Corvette in here. Mind to ask u, why is that? I mean there must be limited availability in the United Kingdom, but your videos are being watched world wide my brother ;)
His vids are more tailored to the UK audience who prefer these style of cars to corvettes. If you looked at any street here, at least half the cars would be german
Most of these cars are not under £15k. You're really stretching this video, makes me want to unsubscribe. Edit: The cheapest TT-RS on Auto Trader in the whole of the UK right now with a clean title is £20k.
Cheapest in Au... (Expect to pay WAY more for a good one) Porsche Cayman 987 S: £26,000 GBP BMW M3: £26,000 GBP Mercedes SL55 AMG: £35,000 GBP Audi TT-RS: £24,000 GBP
Got my licence today, bout time. Got an 08' 1.4 Polo and already wanna upgrade
There is no such thing as an upgrade from the mighty 9n!
Seriously though that's a perfect first car.
Congrats! That’s great news
Cheers, chaps
My first car too! Got a Golf GTI 7.5 now but lusting after the TTRS at min.

Yesss JB, been loving these top 5 vids!
Thanks for your Volvo C30 suggestion! Inspired me to purchase an 11 plate R-design for my first car!
Keep up with the good work JB Lad 👍 Respect.
Any of these for 15k will be a dog, realistically this is a 20k list
Dunno if you’ve done this but do SUV’s under 20k

Insane to think you can pick up the greatest-looking BMW (E93, in my opinion) of all-time for less than 15k

9:55 how are these TTˋs that cheap in the UK? Even with way higher milage you would atleast spend 20k€ here in Germany for an RS.
They're cheaper here because everyone wants an RS3 lol
@@GhulamMustafa-ic3xr I also prefer the RS3 :) ….but it doesnt matter, both cars cost 20k+ here
@@GhulamMustafa-ic3xr TTRS are more than rs3 lol
They're not that cheap. JB is losing it.

The man with the greatest chiselled jawline on youtube.
I have about 12k I've been looking at the 2l petrol scirocco. Can't be crazy on insurance. Any ideas?
Hello everyone!
No E89 Z4?
J B- why no Bentley vehicle , such as the Arnage or early Continental .G.T ? You can buy high mileage examples for around this price...
Love it .... Cayman for me please ;)
One of my absolute dream cars is a AMC pacer I really want to put a Ferrari 458 v8 engine in it that is one of my dreams.
Haha. TTRS for under 15000 in the USA is impossible! Would love one though!

Yoo JB, you should consider making a top 5, top 10 electric cars to buy as the UK going to be electric car zone soon
TTRS🥰🥰🥰
4th thumbnail in a row that feature a blue vehicle
I love your videos but not every car is going to be a modern classic, it feels like every list you say atleast 1 car is a modern classic.
Haha you have got me there, I’m hedging my bets 👀
Prices in the UK and in RSA for cars same whatsapp group
in what world you living that any of those cars are under 15k?
I can get you very cheap insurance if you're interested
