[@Fresskrot]

Great video! Been waiting for something like this for ages

[@alexandergrey5913]

The Mito was & still is the 1st car for my daughter. Her boyfriend has an A3 & now prefers the Mito for its lightness & handling. I’m a good dad I think getting my daughter straight into an Alfa ❤

[@scotta5579]

Hope you have a recovery truck

Next street to me an old gent late 70s early 80s had an 08 Mazda 3MPS sold it & bought a brand new Cupra Ateca with almost 300bhp. He said this wipes the floor with my Mazda 3MPS. The Cupra dealer wouldn't offer him what he wanted for it. The Mazda he bought brand new & when he sold it last year it only had 14,000 miles he had people from as far as Australia wanting to buy it. In the end we live in the leeds area someone from Scarborough bought it. His wife has a 17 plate MX5 lol.shes also in her late 70s.

[@jamessheehy4895]

Got my fiesta st a month ago love it to bits! ❤

[@alexwalters9523]

You forgot about the Volvo c30 T5 👌😉

[@latsword3513]

I saw an Abarth Punto on the way to work and I have to say it looked damn good

[@jamessheehy4895]

Love that tee a video on cool car merch and where to get it would be sick 😊

[@andrewallen7919]

3:36 is my car for sale hahaha feel famous now

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha that’s sick!

[@ollycollie]

Since the two Italians are basically the same car, I'd suggest replacing one of them with the 2004-2006 smart forfour Brabus. 1.5ltr turbo engine making 177bhp in 1,094kg gave a 0-60mph time of 6.6seconds, 6.9 to 100kph, quicker than all those in the video bar the Mazda. And it's also rare, fewer than three hundred were sold in the UK, while prices today start from around two thousand quid. I absolutely adore mine.

[@carsnstuffuk]

Not sure if it's counts as it's a diesel but the Alfa Romeo 147 Ducati Corse is a fantastic drive! 1.9 JDTM turbo engine with 170bhp. Torque is insane too. Only 200 made for the UK I believe

[@wakaflockaproject]

Now 10k and 15k jb!!

[@MrLense]

I got a clio 182 and it's gotten me more attention than my VW polo gti

[@michaelg8821]

a hot mazda hatch doesn't exist anymore for us in the UK but america has 2.5 turbo in gen 4 mazda 3, I don't know any details about them though, I'm a UK watcher

[@mcraide]

Mitsubishi colt turbo missing from list

[@shabba890]

The mk2 ralliarts looked great

[@nekite1]

The Alfa for me...but then I'm biased, having owned a 159.

[@joeg8186]

You never talk about the smart forfour brabus would have been my number one

[@shabbatronjo3071]

The Mazda is dead. Best car here and My personal fav of many. But it's dead. They're all rusted underneath. The red one in the video shown on AT. Rust bucket. Go look at its MOT history. It's such a shame.

[@brandonkhan3790]

I like checking mot historys too 😅

[@ApothecaryTerry]

I've managed relatively rare...I don't think most people would say it's "cool" especially with the decat though 🤣 I get genuinely excited when I see the top 4 on this list at least, the Ignis after a 2nd (or 3rd) look to confirm it's not modified, looks a bit aftermarket. I always thought it's a shame that manufacturers didn't do slightly tuned versions of kei cars for other markets. I'm sure many of them could handle a tune to 100hp+ and they'd surely be insanely fun with that. Edit: Forgot to answer the question...yes, very much so, sadly. Ford and Peugeot have given up on hot hatches entirely, Most others, like Honda and VW, are only interested in "but it's faster bruh" which is great, but if I'm going to die young, I'd rather it wasn't of boredom 🤔

[@derekmulder1012]

They Ignis Sports usually make 120hp on the dyno’s if they’ve been taken care of properly. They are sharper than the T-Sport in all aspects.

[@shabba890]

They gained 15bhp over time? Nonsense. Yaris all day. These Ignis were rough as hell to drive. Cheap and nasty

[@kapucakapuca]

@@shabba890 Suzuki claimed 107, buts its actually 115 (didnt hear 120 tbh) on dyno. Ignis is not only faster in straight line, but also drives better in corners - it has 200 kg less than the Yaris! Yes, the interior is most likely better in the Yaris, but for this type of cars and budget I wouldn't look/care at interior quality.

[@shabba890]

​@@kapucakapucano way is it 200kg less although they are such cheaply made things. As for dyno, they overread.

[@kapucakapuca]

​@@shabba890 the Ignis was made for homologation reasons so the interiror is dull and there is almost no sound isolation. Body panels are also very thin and some you can bent them with an arm. Made just for performance with not much having inside hahaha For a daily the Yaris T is a better car, but for trashing around, the Ignis Sport is the winner.

[@shabba890]

@kapucakapuca all Ignis were very thin and coarse. The 5 door 1.3s were the same. Would love to see a proper head to head stock vs the yaris. Probably nothing in it at all.

[@gymbruh1824]

How is the megane 225 not on here,,,,, 3k

[@sol-hb8zg]

I also think the mk1 cupra should be on here two

[@adrianbunyard6015]

My liquid yellow Mégane r26 turned heads for sure. I got more comments daily about that car over anything including my integra type R dc2.

[@bebetrixxx]

This is a 5k budget video and some of yall are complaining that he did not include a type r, a swift sport etc. like do any of you actually know how much these cars cost? like a swift sport, even the first gen, is at least 8-10k and lets not talk about type r 💀

[@jm1860]

First gen swift sport u can get for 2k? Civic type r's are 4-5k for decent ones. This is based in UK if ur not aware.

[@bebetrixxx]

@@jm1860 2k for a low mileage, well maintained mk1 swift sport??? Let me see where because I’m buying rn And 4-5k for a decent type r? Again check the mileage, the maintenance, the history etc and what gen type r because if it’s cheap there often is a reason for it being cheap :/

[@brotherabid]

@@bebetrixxxagree, the cheaper type r are very high mileage although mileage really doesn’t matter with hondas, a clean type r will be over £6k I agree, I would personally buy a jdm one more special, no rust etc so the chasss will easily last another 20 years once imported into the uk

[@bebetrixxx]

@@brotherabid exactly, I’d rather spend more money on a good example and import it to the uk rather than buying a clapped out civic type r for 5k just for the sake of having a type r

[@jm1860]

​@@bebetrixxx are u a child or something. You said 8-10k for one. If you don't know how to buy cars without getting ripped off that a you issue. Even on auto trader from dealers with warranty you can get them for under 5 easily

[@alexgoonie3320]

Starlet gt turbo ep82

[@LukeGB003]

The first video that you used for the Ignis Sport was taken at my place of work. Batchelors. I remember that car been sold by us.

[@CarsWithJB]

It's a beaut!

[@LukeGB003]

@ sadly I didn’t get to drive it :(

[@stevenbennett3922]

What. No Suzuki Swift Sport!

[@ApothecaryTerry]

2nd gen must be turning up in a £10k version of this list, I'm predicting. I'd check whether I'm right with my price guess in that, but Autotrader currently tells me no cars available and no postcodes are valid (including their office), for whatever stupid reason...technically works fine on my phone but getting that means getting up 🤔 Anyway, I think it'll turn up in a later JB video - definitely deserves a spot, unless it's rarity that kept it out maybe?

[@ghostinthemachine76]

Civic Type R.

[@VividBullox]

Mate you like rare cars because you’re not buying the replacement parts for them 😂 Mass production ensures affordability

[@matthuggybear]

What a "T"axi .... Tim!

[@amex8876]

All terrible cars.. no offence
