Could you make another video on cars for new drivers to get with cheap insurance in 2024. Or does the old list still apply?

Maybe it's an age thing. I'm 53 years young so I grew up with a decent generation of hot hatches. They may not be as quick as today's cars but you can't deny the likes of the Peugeot 205 gti and Renault 5 turbo weren't more fun back in the day

Just bought a BMW 1 series hatch 140i I6 shadow edition from 2019 with 17k miles for 22k fully loaded with tech and extended warranty , bullet proof car . Audi S3 is a good shout too

Great vid i do enjoy this new trend of depreciating car list it’s fresh feels different and it feels like am getting more info out of it concerning the cars themselves which is fantastic 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Buy a M140i bulletproof performance and depreciation

I think the Abarth has actually done well... Dropping £4.5k in a year is good going! Most cars will drop 20% almost instantly, as 20% of the new cost is actually VAT.

I picked up the Megane RS 300, 14.5k miles 21 plate for £26,700 from approved used Renault. Fairly high spec, bose speakers, rear camera, alcantara, heated front seats. Great car.

AMG - all money gone takes the cake

Pretty sure the VZ2 cupra Leon comes with heated seats and steering wheel, at least that's how the formentor vz2 comes.

Can we get top 5 door fast cars under 30k

You are very good with your presentation with so much information. Perhaps slow down with your cadence as I found it to rapid to follow and take it all in. I have subscribed.

Wonder how many people would change their minds on an abarth if they could drive/ride in one. I always though minis were feminine cars but I got to sit in a JCW and after that no amount of girly connotations can stop me from having one if I had the opportunity

Hi an interesting video. I’m both a petrol head and a fan of Ev’s having had both fast petrol hatches and currently a fast Ev But the thing I hear all the time of late is how Ev’s depreciate but it’s obvious looking at your videos all cars at the moment depreciate however they are powered. The one Ev that gets pulled apart by Ev haters is the Porsche taycan but what these people fail to realise is that when that car was launched it was both leased or pcp,ed by hundreds of people and some of which paid over the retail price for but as a result of these contracts coming to an end there is now a glut of them on the used market. It was and still is a brilliant car the only thing I see it’s been a victim of it’s own success pretty much the same can be said of the tesla modal 3 and give it a year or so and that will apply to the y. The only comment I make about your video is how you commented on people buying these cars new. Yes I can see you can buy a dam good used car for a lot less than new but somebody has to buy that car new to enable you or I to buy that car used.

You think 30k for a brand new car is cheap?

For me for a hot hatch its either between the golf R, A45 AMG or RS3. Golf for the handling and VW DNA or the merc or audi for hyper hatch performance. Nice selection of cars in the video. The new 1 series ive driven and liked but dont know on the M135I especially as the engine to me is a downgrade to the inline 6

Cupar sounds good, more than enough performance in the real world, and a comfortable ride, which with the state of roads and traffic makes sense to me, this continuously rise in performance is stupid, tax insurance and fuel before service and repairs makes it unaffordable to many, and how often can we drive hard for a 5 mile drive if you don’t live in Wales or Scotland lol.

The 695 might be the slowest stock but they are easy to mod and pull 300hp out of 👍

Does high depreciation mean manufacturers were over charging?

Hi mate the Mercedes A35h BHP is 316.

I feel like the Golf R and M140i's have really evolved what defines hot hatches. Their performance is hard to beat

The statistic you state where 64% of people will not buy a car because of its badge is wrong. There are so many Chinese brands flooding/about to flood the uk. A big majority are buying them

My previoulsy owned Cupra Formentor is shown on the 3:CUPRA LEON review :)....KR70YDT.....Seat CREWE Dealership

Are hot hatches too fast? Maybe. My Pug has 224hp/tonne, that's more than a Ferrari 348GTB/GTS (222hp/tonne). An A45S has 266hp/tonne, noticeably more than a base 911. For reference, the M135i has 206hp/tonne, a 2002 Megane RS has 160hp/tonne and an R.26 R has 186hp/tonne. For roughly 15-20 years, that's not a ridiculously big step, but the roads and speed limits haven't really improved with the performance, so it's no easier to use now than it ever was. I chose the Pug because it still feels like a hot hatch (i.e. a meth-addicted chihuahua), for A and B road fun. The AWD ones are all about being fast, which is fine, but it's pretty pointless really - being able to press a pedal and do nothing else while your car does 0-60 quickly isn't anything to brag about. It's kind of fun, but cars can do far more fun things than that, if a Fiesta or Swift had the refinement and tech of the C-segment cars then anything in a performance range between those would be perfect really. For performance, well EVs win in a straight line anyway.

M135i growing on me.

Who can afford to lose 10k+ in a year on a car? Even if i was a millionair I would go for it.

Wow I’m shocked to see how much money the M135i has lost. I’m shocked by the ugly comment, but I know from experience it’s not a very dynamic drive.

Those new 1 series are so bad, nothing like the old 1 series. A totally different car

1st

£30K+ what's this dude smoking. No one has that much money. Should make a £10k or less video.

Hot Hatches should not have 4 doors. 😁

The BMW is ugly looking from the front

£35k for a small Hyundai?! £26k for a poorly-specked 1.4 Fiat?! £41k for a Seat?! £46k for a 4-cylinder A-Class?! £42k for a 1 Series BMW?! These people fully deserve to lose a fortune on these hideous pieces of junk! You could buy an E55 estate for the same amount your first year of hairdresser hatchback ownership would cost you!

The BMW is ugly, look at the front overhang from front wheels, looks weird, big depreciation when I was car dealing is because hard to sell often because of high running cars, insurance on this is horrendous, same now with second hand EV’s dealers don’t want them as very hard to move on because of battery issues, not rocket science, initial cost of small cars is way overpriced, so not a great bargain after two years, still costly.

Who would buy a girls car Fiat 500 (ok Abarth 695 but same thing), for £22 grand, when you can buy something like an M140i ? The Fiat is a flimsy, slow, shitty thing, which will continue to drop in value. OK I know the cars in this video are newer, but unless you particularly want a brand new car which nobody else has driven (aside from being ragged by the importers, ragged by the valeters at the dealership, and kerbed by the test drives), then what is the difference between a year old driven without even being washed once car, to a 3 or 4 year old carefully loved car ?
