I spent 47 minutes of my life watching it, so you don’t have to. Here is the full list of cars they recommend buying it, divided according to their segment: 1. Toyota Yaris GR 2. Hyundai i30N, Audi RS3, BMW M 140i (a lot of divergences between them here) 3. Lexus IS 500, Lexus GSF 4. Skoda Octavia RS, Mitsubishi Evo 9 Wagon 5. Porsche Macan GTS 6. Mazda MX5 7. Subaru BRZ 8. Nissan R35 GTR 9. Porsche 911 (any of them from 997 onwards) 10. Lexus LC 500.

And no 2, I'd add the golf R just cause it's such a great daily and has AWD. The RS3 is great but it's twice the part The macan GTS is the only SUV I'd consider, next to a stelvio quadrifoglio.

Reckon you guys need to do one for ‘older’ cars. It’s a bit hard to compare to stuff mentioned in this and the others in this series vids. Also given the nature of older kind of ‘collectable’ type cars, doing it on price rather than car shape / size categories. Just a thought anyway.

Cool wagon time: it’s impossible to agree more about cool wagons. My wife, coming from a sports car/car club background, has VF Calais V 6.0 LS2 wagon and she loves it: three car seats across the back and more useable volume ‘in back’ than a stinking Prado or Kluger. Time came to get a second wagon for my daily driver and I lusted after an Octavia RS TSI-162 wagon with a manual gearbox, but we just couldn’t , but we just couldn’t get three seats across the back. So, for less money than a new Octavia we bought a one year old MY 2019/2020 Skoda Superb TSI-162 wagon with the wet-clutch DSG 6 speed, digital dash and wide format infotainment system. Essentially the same running gear as a DSG Octavia RS but so, SO much more civilised, much more room, beautifully quiet and absolute pleasure to drive and with surprising depth of capability. I love it. It’s a brilliant ‘semi-sleeper’ much like our Calais V and super practical. However, if the DSG goes to lunch, I’d be tempted to drop a six speed manual in its place: the ultimate family wagon?

[@jonathonedwards6741]

I have a 2013 swift sport and a 1960 Austin Healey Sprite. Both very fun and capable cars, both track proven with the Sprite still a popular track car 64 near 65 years later. Though they’re not “powerful”, the Sprite especially putting out 43hp from its 948cc A series, they’re both incredibly fun at normal speeds and I attribute this to weight or lack there of. The Swift coming in under 1000kg (I’ve done some weight reduction) and the Sprite at 630kg. It’s amazing what no power, lightweight can do.

[@johnphaceas7434]

Love the video fellas, and some great picks. Just going to throw out my own favourite in the small/mid sedan class (a-la Accord Euro R). Admittedly I'm biased as an owner - but if you've ever had a go in one, its very hard to go past the Alfa 156 GTA. Greatest sound imaginable and decent performance from the 3.2L Busso V6, in a practical sedan that has killer looks and brilliant handling (best handling FWD I've ever driven) especially with the usual GTA mods like adjustable coilovers, Q2 LSD, and 330mm Brembos. Yep they are relatively hard to find - only just over 100 were imported new - but prices have returned to "reasonable" (anywhere from $15k to $40k - I paid under $10k for mine in 2021). Nor are they especially fragile - mine's 22yo, clocked over 275,000km and was my daily til about 2 months ago (you just need to look after them properly and have access to a good indie Alfa workshop). I know you loved the 147 GTA, but the 156 sedan version is just a better, more "sorted" and cooler alternative to the more predictable choices in this class. Also, kudos for nominating the Echo Sportivo - I bought a near-new Yaris YRX 1.5 myself around 2007 and ran it for 4-5 years. Totally bullet proof, impervious to abuse and neglect and good fun to drive. Still see my old one tootling around the neighbourhood, with faded clear coat on the roof the only real sign of its age.

I think there should've been some budget bracket too. An i30n is perhaps 30k, an equivalent rs3 is 50. Tough to compare two cars when one is almost twice as expensive as the other For sedans, i would've added the stinger GT and the Genesis g70 I'm not sure if I'd go with a hatchback or a sedan, but if would probably be between a golf R and a Giulia Veloce q4 (I'd get the g70 but it's barely available in Europe 😥 ) The entire Genesis lineup is stunning, the gv70 is one of the only SUVs I'd ever consider buying (the macan GTS would be on that list, but i dont see myself having that amount of money anytime soon)

You are worried about steering when parking?, for me its when your actually driving and the feedback, but okay. For me though, the engine note makes it worth it.
