Aston, Ariel, Hyundai…? We crown Britain’s Best Driver’s Car 2024

[@adamleitch444]

Take an extremely interesting theme with extremely interesting cars and make it extremely boring. Well done

[@keyboarddancers7751]

How do they manage such a seemingly impossible feat? It's like watching old men with guitars trying to 'rock' on stage!

[@carlwinslow4175]

Literally excruciating to watch

[@MisterDillPickle]

Autocar's video department has really fallen off hard

[@user-js2dr9gv1u]

Maybe if they had a shave it wouldn't be so bad.

[@jamesnewtonx]

Strange and really dull format for the topic at hand. The conversation would be more fitting as a follow up on a podcast rather than the actual BBDC video.

[@JBOsurf]

Yeah...let's include a car that isn't finished. What a great idea.

[@drfubars]

You have the best job possible, but this was bad. You’re filming yourselves more than the cars.

[@shaunsimpson9902]

I had to turn off half way through. There was no enthusiasm for the cars. I found these presenters a bit boring. Sorry.

[@PaintProtectionPro]

Compare something like this to the content Throttle House are putting out 😂

[@KarelBeelaertsvanBlokland]

Noble 500 uses the Noble 600 chassis. Beautiful car!

[@abs8551]

Deadpan delivery - try to be a little more enthusiastic driving these amazing cars

[@belkeddashamdi3887]

Drive them on track, but like you are in the middle of the city, is the drifting prohibited

[@ChrisHolland-kr6yc]

I think I agree with that ranking, not that my opinion counts! I think I would drop the Aston and lift the Yaris because of their size and threading down a country lane. Plus I would worry about the Aston if I parked it anywhere. Cadwell is great.

[@sp3483]

A prototype for the best Driver's Car 2024? It's not finished and isn't available for sale but still beat out 2 cars. Why not add jaGuar to the test?

[@AlexRoebuck]

I watched until the end, and for a video entitled "Britain's Best Driver's Car", I learned very little about how the cars drive.

[@benmarr352]

If the Lotus isn't fun, isn't as adjustable as a Porsche equivalent, then it isn't a Lotus. The End. Fortunately, there is another Lotus in the test, which has done rather better. How many times do i have to ask for politics to get sorted and recognise that the 0.7 tonne Lotus that has been rebuilt will create less plant food than the 2.5 tonne Lotus with the massive battery over its useful life. Almost zero remanufacturing CO2 and if driven as you have to drive, the Electre will hardly use any fuel. If you drive the Electre hard, you will be plugging it in amazingly quickly. Moving a car that weighs nearly 4 times as much takes a lot more energy. Isaac Newton 1687 Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica.

[@nauhidsheik3883]

most boring car review video ever. What the hell did I just watch

[@ametti000]

God help me, I had to skip through. 37 minutes of two dull middle-aged men on board video, esp in the GolfR was like watching paint dry.

[@cuprashoe]

It's a pretty good achievement to have all these exciting cars and make such a dull video

[@ThePedroDB]

The Artura Spyder might have been even better. That's where my (🤞) Lotto win would be spent!

[@larssonk22]

same same!

[@jayman9177]

Sorry, but boring video

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

Then why did you comment?? Troll

[@cuprashoe]

​@@DavidLimofLimReport It's called an opinion, that's the whole point of a comments section

[@DavidLimofLimReport]

@@shaunsimpson9902 because someone has to stand up

[@DavidDatura]

I was surprised how high up in the rankings the Vantage was. Surely the GR Yaris is better around the corners than the Aston? And the Artura is number one here and not the 750S! What’s wrong with the latter in comparison to its stablemate?

[@paulmcgee1867]

Hopefully ride height and speed bumps won’t be issues with these choices

[@BurtSampson]

Love Cadwell.

[@davidmarshall6409]

Really poor video. Utterly dull delivery with no enthusiasm whatsoever. Let’s hope the Evo COTY video is more entertaining

[@RSADYNAMICS]

I love that article in the back of Magazine about a hard Weekend Lee NOBLE HAD

[@mattb4353]

That yellow milkfloat is not a Lotus. How is it any sort of drivers car?

[@briankennedy5176]

Couldn’t get past the Lotus. I had to turn off

[@richjohn9356]

What's the point in driving the cars on track, when 99.9% will never see the track, should be city driving, motorway driving, country roads etc

[@Jone911T]

Thats why cars became heavier and heavier

[@philipjamesparsons]

Usual Autocar, track test. No camera shots out of the window; just interior shots. For me, I wonder if the cars were driven hard enough for a credible test.

[@thomasmiller2395]

This was great to put on before bed. These guys put me right out.

[@gregheah7385]

Makes no sense to include a prototype Noble that’s far from ready.

[@cupidstunt22]

[@flyinghedgehog3833]

Prior ...best sleep inducer...EVER ! WTF....

[@williampresley3000]

Oh yeah,had an American here. On we go.

[@aleggs146]

Do we know what price point the Noble will come in at? Colin Chapman would approve!

[@vyrnmn]

I've read circa £150k

[@Mike-1000]

Yep, around £150k as the previous gentleman said. Harry Metcalfe stated this too.

[@AR-gk1kt]

I'm guessing the Alpine wasn't included as then there would be no competition.

[@IrugaZERO]

3 Lotus wow hell must have frozen over!

[@nathandepasquale9571]

Noble F8 🤔

[@Rex_Racer]

A Lotus Emaya but NOT an Emira?! Not going to watch.

[@boogboog8097]

Before i watch, i know its not an EV 😂

[@jerusdc]

This video made me feel like I was at a doctors office going over my cholesterol results. Zzzzzzz They seemed UN-enthused about every car.

[@jose-Maki]

Its not a lotus,its a zeeker or what ever the geely brand is called. They use the lotus badge to sell the cars where people arent really into chinese brands basically

[@armo28]

Lotus shouldn’t be there it’s a milk float and a kick in the teeth to the original brand. The Porsche shouldn’t have even been included or mentioned as you can’t buy it.

[@MarksChannel52]

They choose the McLaren Artura, the video is that boring.

[@KN-jw7ts]

Why/how a stony brook hoodie?! That’s local to me! lol.

[@whichbike]

No Emira!! Poor.

[@larssonk22]

I feel like the Lotus Emeya is still yet to be launched. I drove past my local dealership and saw several in the car park, I had no idea it had been launched. The photos don't do it justice, in flesh it's a stunning looking car!

[@vyrnmn]

I had no idea either. I've seen absolutely zero press about it. Barely any on the Eletre either.

[@richardconway6425]

I am baffled. Where was the Alpine A110 ? In the top 5, at the very least, is where it should have been. The Vantage may be a 'fine car', but it's hard to think of it as a true 'drivers car', especially for real world British roads. It's too heavy, too powerful, has lifeless steering, and is also, for most people, silly expensive. As the reviewers rightly said, it's not a sports car (too heavy), but equally, it's not refined enough to be a proper GT either. It's a silly, pointless car, for people who like to flaunt their wealth and imagined/presumed status. I can only conclude that it's a misguided attempt at propping up AM's reputation, in a bid to stave off their inevitable demise as a British manufacturer. If only they could design and build the kind of cars that people actually want to drive and own. It also seemed strange to me that there was no porsche in this test. Of course no 911 S/T, because you can't buy it, and it was silly expensive at manufacturers msrp anyway. But surely, there are several porsches which would have slotted straight into your top 5, whether cayman or 911. What was the Emeya doing in there ? What a waste of 3 tonnes of resources. And no, it is not a lotus. The badge is just meaningless on this car. The Artura is a very impressive car, a very impressive piece of engineering, no doubt. But it just seems like too much for British roads. In this case, too fast, and too powerful. These cars have been created for an environment that doesn't exist outside of a le mans racetrack. The cars themselves seem like racing cars in disguise. Driving one on a public road must be an exercise in frustration. Now the Alpine A110, that's what I call a proper drivers car. If only it had a manual gearbox ...

Avoid wasting thirty minutes and go to the end. Two of the most boring motor presenters on the whole of YT… Autocar DO SOMETHING!!!

[@richjohn9356]

Lotus elise 2nd ????? I drove one 30 years ago and thought it was crap, not a car but a go cart . HOW THE HELL YOU CAN PUT IT ABOVE THE FANTASTIC VANQUISH, SHOWS HOW DETACHED YOU ARE FROM REALITY

[@MrNufzed]

How is MCclaren best drivers car when , build quality,service back up is very spotty. It shouldn't qualify untill they ante up their game at factory level and quality control.

[@dnice362]

*McLaren drive one. Nothing drives and feel like they do. Best steering in the game. That’s how.

[@benmarr352]

Mr Nufzed, enjoy the Toyota Corolla, the best drivers car. Will always be available for a fun run in the country. Yes, McLaren need to up their service, but this is best drivers car.
