Can you buy a fun, sports car for £1500? Well, we tried - and to see who chose the best car, we drove 700 miles, tested them for faults, took them on track and even got a bit stuck.
We decided on a maximum budget of £1500 for each car and anything left over could be spent on ‘upgrades’ along the way. I hate to sound smug, but I’ve definitely picked the quickest car, so let’s see what we bought.
Now you’ve seen the cars, let’s look at where we’re going. We’ll start out at the office, fill up with fuel along the way and then make our way to a retail park just outside Manchester to buy our mods. From there we’ll head up into the stunning Lake District, stop for lunch and then make the final stretch up to Knockhill. 374 miles in total.
💰 Want to buy one of these three cars? (We'll do you a deal) Drop us an email. cars@driver61.com

If you continue to make content like this, you will get millions of subscribers. Carry on guys 👍
This is outstanding. I feel like that food critic in Ratatouille being transported back in time. The chemistry between you three is fantastic.
Loved this Top Gear-esque video from the good old days. Can't wait for more.
The TT has aged really well.
Been a huge fan of Scott's content for years, glad to see what it's growing into. I'm a sucker for old school circuits too, would love to see you guys keep that motorsport flavour in future videos.
Some really strong Old Top Gear vibes, but loved seeing the chemistry between you three! That JJJaaaggg needs some proper setup and it'll devour all, so long as Scott is driving...
Great video ! 😃 I like the fact there is humor without ruining the other’s car. 😍 The mood of the video is great. This kind of content reminds us the fun that can be had, without breaking the bank. Keep doing what you’re doing. 😄 Take care.
I feel like I've found my home when I'm watching these types of videos from you guys. I didn't enjoy a video like this in a while so thank you Driven Media!
18:26 Never a truer word spoken 👌🏻 "It doesn't matter what you drive. It's about driving the car close to it's limit and not how fast you are going" After shopping for something tasty like a BM 330 I've finally realised I just want something cheap and fun to feeling around. Decided on either an MX5 or a mk3 MR2
Please more of this. Could even have been a two parter. Amazing work guys.
Great vid, loved seeing the jag bounce around, no replacement for displacement, and a racing driver behind the wheel 💪. Great vid
Great stuff 🙂 Hope there are some more "old Top Gear" challenges coming, since they are the best!
This is giving me classic Top Gear vibes... AND I LOVE IT WE WANT MORE!!!
I am absolutely loving the content you guys have been putting out lately. An educational + a fun channel is absolutely perfect
OMG was this good, obviously needles to say we want more. Lots of Top Gear comparisons, but you do you and 3 friends having fun is all you need, Hope we get more adventures from you.
Your enthusiasm really makes this style of episode awesome. Keep at it!
11:03 - "Funny, I've got a beetle in my way as well," as he films the TT ahahhaa
Congrats guys - enjoyable to watch and seems you were enjoying yourselves too. All three can talk while driving (it's harder than many people think) - especially an a track full of other (faster) cars. Definitely make more similar videos.
I missed this, thank you for creating a top gear-esk episode of buying some car and driving with it, love it!
Good stuff! Lots of genuine fun and enough jokes without going over the top.
Man this video was awesome, love how in the end you focused on the fun instead of picking at each other, this video was just so chill to watch. Thank you.
This was such a great watch and the result in the end really tied in how much fun this video ended up being. Huge Top Gear vibes and loved every second of it.
I love this format. It definitely feels like the good old days of top gear. Please do more of this.
Great video, really enjoyed how well integrated the sponsor was too
This is the next grand tour. The top gear. This is the best of both series. These personalities, oh I'm in tears. Thank you for reminding me of the best car show. You've got what it takes to shift it a gear higher, to go on an even grander tour.
Just discovered you guys and have been going on a binge the past few hours. Great content lads, keep up the amazing work!
You would assume just by seeing these three cars in the beginning, that they were a bit ambitious but rubbish. But now after this video, I'm more inclined to get myself my own car to use on track !
Next test. Which sports car under 1500 quid is the best for dogging?
This was a fun video! Yes please more of this. I also appreciate you converting the numbers for your American viewers for mpg and gallons, cost etc.
Them jaguars are deceptively fast. I have an old XJ myself and I remember leaving many a boy racer in the dust. 🤣
This was great! I was a bit worried by the low production quality at first, but it was well edited, the order of events flowed well and the chemistry was great!
Interested in the lap times with the same driver. TT should be quickest by far
Please more of this instead of "upgrading x untill i am faster", the chaotic format of 3 guys driving some cheap cars is so entertaining!!
This channel has become what was the best of 2000s Top Gear and it's so bloody welcome!
The reason I liked Top Gear USA was because of Taner Faust a professional driver, and I'm very excited for this series because of Scott. It gives a different vibe from Car Trek or throttle house challenges.
Absolutely loving the top gear style episode! I feel like the Audi was the most Hammond choice, the Mercedes was the most James May choice, and the Jag was the most Clarkson choice because V8 rear wheel drive Or the SLK is Clarkson and the Jag is May because captain slow with the spongiest suspension and heaviest car.

seeing the price for gas was eye opening. I am here in texas, where my local gas is about $4.50 per gallon (.986 pounds/litre if my calculation is right), so seeing you pay $146 on gas was quite surprising. For reference, 15.5 gallons (58.674 litres) of 93 octane costs me about $65 (53.96 pounds).
Did you clear the codes before doing that part. Could have had someone unplug some sensors years ago and it'll show a fault for it even though they're plugged in 🤔 grey area in the rules right therrrr

Really cracking content lads. The camera work has a long way to go and the editing could be sharper and length cut down a bit but those are relatively minor things compared with the spirit, the banter, the raw vibe of the thing, which you have absolutely nailed and it's great.

Those Jags are bloody brilliant! I took a 4.0 around the Nurburgring back in 2018 a number of times, absolute hoot! Cruising at 50-60mph they will do over 40mpg as it is hardly ticking over, genuinely great cars!
Glad you enjoyed yourselves chaps, it was fun to watch.
