I know this channel is *technically* just promo for the website, but I have to be honest, Mat and his team make such great content on here 👌

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..

There’s nothing more expensive than buying a cheap performance car 😅. But as always great video Mat!

It's scary, how car prices almost doubled in the past 20 years.

[ricequackers]

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 YouTube 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

Fiesta ST150 should be on the list too!
Blew the engine on mine after 3 years, but would still recommend it to everyone because it was so cheap.

[stuartpeacock]

Excellent advice Matt, well researched and honest

[MogsterKupo]

I was like "ooh, sub £5k EP3" then Mat says "it's the EP3 model for those Honda geeks." 😂

I'm not actually a Honda geek though.

Cars are so cheap in the UK I’m so jealous

[wassgoodiebruh]

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
