Great video and some of my favourite cars. Always wanted an RX-8 but never actually got around to buying one. On the Alfa question - GT or Brera - I have driven both in 3.2 V6 form and owned the GT 3.2 V6 for several years. The GT 3.2 has the wonderful Busso engine which the Brera doesn't. The GT also handles a lot better and is better build quality in general. They are both getting old though and the GT suffers from floor pan rust issues so be careful. The GT clutch is also not great for reliability. I'm not sure about the Brera floor pan. My TT MK2 was a nice car when it worked, but watch out for the CDAA engine and excessive oil consumption. Looking forward to another video on this topic at £10K....
my Dad was one of the first people to get an RX-8, he loved it. Very smooth and progressive power delivery all the way to about 9000rpm, nice steering and gearbox, very good handling, and carried 4 people though the back was a bit claustrophobic. Engines are prone to flooding if you aren't careful so read up on how to avoid that!
Im currently binge watching your videos as im getting ready to buy a new car as im starting my first graduate job in january. I'm gonna have to be doing a lot more motorway miles so looking for something a bit more enjoyable to drive than my current 2010 1.4 Seat Ibiza. Decent car considering the price I paid but a bit boring xD
"Did someone sit on your Mini?" Got to be the C30 T5 or 330Ci, although a Celica is never a bad choice. The RCZ is the sexiest, but it's got to be an R with one of those.
In 2002 someone I know very well bought a brand new Mercedes CL500 back then it was over £74 grand, he still has the car as he says it would kill him to think what he would get for it. He still has a 2 door Mercedes an E400 d coupe. The Hyundai they look great but for the performance.and Tax of £675 a year you would have to be nuts to consider it over the 140bhp 2.0L.
Man those old rx8's have gone up massively in price. Not even a year ago you could pick one up working (lol) with decent bodywork and service history for less than 1.5k. Could get a broken one on its last legs for £500 and get it rebuilt to perfect spec for £2000. So sad :(
The problem that causes reliability issues on the RX 8 is down to it being overtuned and thus as most drivers never burn off the carbon build up in the rotary engine. If you regularly take it to the redline and hold it there for a while the engine will run much hotter and then burn off the carbon dramatically improving the reliability. This is a known issue with all rotary engines. Especially when they are tuned to a higher output than what such a small engine should put out.
Hopefully one of these is decent! You could also get a ropey fiat coupe 20v turbo in this price range for a bit of a classic but will probably need some work
the mini coupe just doesn't look right. the back end's too high up imo, and the roof don't flow with the car very well also, i like the e46 most. i luv the 330ci due to it's pure enjoyability! still... i luv the brera and c30 too...
I really love all your films but WHY do you talk so quickly? You said you were going to try to speak slower, but you've actually got worse!! Do you do this deliberately for a joke, or is there a reason you have to speak so ridiculously quickly?
Awesome video. The Brera and RCZ are real lookers.
Agreed - the Brera is a real consideration for me as a cheap daily!
Dude the brera is so stunning, actually tempted
This guy here thinking he's Thanos, collecting rings lmao
Except Thanos collected stones.
😅 my friend runs a jewellery company so I’ve literally just bought a bunch of his stuff hence all the hardware!
@@CarsWithJB😂😂😂😂 fair
Thanos collected jem stones...ffs he's obviously B A BARACUS
Would love to see a cheap ULEZ exempt classic car video. Love the content keep it up!
At last the C30, thank you oh & the GT over the Brera on looks. Great vid.
One way u could improve on your videos is to add the top speed, weight and torque figures of the cars. Love your content as always, thank you!
Love the Celica t sport, good entry sports car! It doesn't suffer from the pre cat issue mentioned, that was specific to the MR2 mk3
First! I would love to see a video dedicated on sleeper saloons that are decently practical, but are also really powerful as well.
The RCZ looks so good!
Why is the Mazda top of the list, when you are really critical of it?

Surprised the scirocco was not there…

330ci or Brera for me. Maybe the Volvo if it had an aggressive kit on it.
Pls do cheap sport saloons under 5k and beg you put the Mazda speed 6 in it!
7 seater video would be awesome to see!
Out of these I would choose the 330ci
how much insurance would i expect to pay for a celica or a hyundai coupe as an 18 year old new driver?
Big like, 😂 yes do the next one

Is it just me, but did that French baguette look like an Audi TT side on with a little longer back
It actually looks like the TT was supposed to ...
I think the rcz is a good looking car and well I guess the days of cheap family cars are now gone its only ever fast cars coupes or gt cars
Please do track cars under 10k with mods all in price and suggestion on mods? Having done track cars for a while ?
Quality shout would have been the Renault Laguna Coupe
If no positives for the RX-8 then why is it no.1? 🤷🏻♂️
vid idea cheap 4x4 with good perf?
Currently on the hunt for a cheap coupe that looks good under 5k!
Hopefully one of these is decent! You could also get a ropey fiat coupe 20v turbo in this price range for a bit of a classic but will probably need some work
@@CarsWithJB I’m caught between the TT and the 330ci either would be brilliant
I had a 330ci, cost a fortune in maintenance, always something wrong with it and 26mpg at best. TT would be far cheaper to run mate
@@stevetrayhorn2680 Cheers for the advice 💪
Pls do good fun cars for students under 5k that gets the ladies eye pls
NSF Underground was shit lol. Other than that good video though even though not sure why you put the RX8 up top just to then slate it ha
the mini coupe just doesn't look right. the back end's too high up imo, and the roof don't flow with the car very well
also, i like the e46 most. i luv the 330ci due to it's pure enjoyability!
still... i luv the brera and c30 too...
Yeah it just isn’t quite right!
I would swap out the Peugeot for a Kia Koup
Can’t put hatch backs in a coupe list 😂😂
The RCZ really is the most deceptive one here
All those nice looks and no performance to match the looks.
It’s the French i8🤣
None of this prices are close to european market
That Peugot looks like an Audi TT!
No1 ABSOLUTELY nothing positive...so why no1 😂😂😂
I really love all your films but WHY do you talk so quickly? You said you were going to try to speak slower, but you've actually got worse!! Do you do this deliberately for a joke, or is there a reason you have to speak so ridiculously quickly?
Why watch the video then?
😅
E46 doesn’t have i drive system so wtf you talking about
Yes sorry I realise that wasn’t very clear - I meant that people complain about infotainment or a lack of idrive, but didn’t get my words out!
Mazda number 1 - nightmare car with catastrophic engine problems , BMW E46 has I- drive problems!!! Blimey some people are just clueless !
Dude, slow down ! You speak so quickly I miss some of the details, take a breath
Brother do a van video
That's all we need 😅
