£1000 Most Fuel Efficient Car Challenge

Alex needs a new car. Specifically, he needs a more economical daily than a shabby NC Mazda MX-5, so he and Matt sit down for a dive into the murky depths of the classifieds to see what fuel-sipping heroes they can find for £1000. Will he end up with a gem, or a complete dud?

Seems the new owners have remembered what actually made people like this channel.

You've got some comments in your bot section

[zaidkidwai]

Never ceases to amaze me how cheap used cars are across the pond

[ethanhatch]

I honestly can't see why everyone is moaning about these guys, things change grow up and move on you lot!

Really enjoyed this video, easy to see the new Alex has got more confidence on camera, be awesome to see some more content on the new daily, good luck!

185k 508 with one of the best engines? Nahhh
350k extaxi octavia? I WANT IT
😂

This was a fun video, I don't have much to add to any conversation, but given a lot of the comments are a bit negative, just wanted to throw a positive one out there. I'll keep dipping in and out of the channel as you guys find your style. More channels making good stuff is a good thing, so I'm genuinely rooting for CT to weather the negativity storm and evolve.

It’s good that you added walking away from a purchase 👍

[MrRHeath]

Tragic what this channel has become.

Poor, self destructive management, and the brand will never recover from that now.

Getting ~14k views from an apparent 3.08million subscriber base is not good.

[zaidkidwai]

A Miata being "uneconomical" is news to me haha. 40mpgs is a number I've never come close to hitting

[thewheelman]

I almost fell out of my chair when you said your Miata wasn't a high mpg vehicle.... in the US it is LOL.

[drzoidbergmd]

That bit with the phone message was hilarious, we've all done it..

[KTMMOTOIE]

They are so painful to watch .. it’s like the American top Gear 😂

[JackP]

Old presenters left because of no car buying budget… new owners finally realised that’s what made the channel lol. Bit late now guys 😂

[izzystuart]

I don't know how the car channels can find cars this cheep, I was looking for a scooter and was struggling to get one for a grand.

[bokexd]

the car you chose in the end used to originally be so good that audi cancelled that line

[ptrbitl]

This channel is still alive !?wtf can't believe. ALL THE GEAR, TDC and AutoAlex for ever!!!

[abueesaaluthmaani]

Don't try and copy the old presenters very cringe, make your own mark

[ekoturnip]

I got my little A2 remapped, goes a lot quicker than it has any right to! Love the thing.

[jackgibb]

Not sure why “ex-taxi” puts people off.

Taxi’s have to be MOT’d twice as often as normal cars and are usually kept well looked after.. no customer wants to be in a car with knocking suspension or noisy brakes.
