Great drivers car. Caterham isn't wrong when they say "designed for racing, built for living". It is only a 1.6 with 115bhp but it weighs shy off 700kg so you're always the first to leave at traffic lights, without even trying. Braking follows the acceleration. Handling can only be compared to a kart. It is a race car so rear wheal driven, which means you do have to be more careful in more slippery situations. As long as you take care of the oil you won't have any technical problems. And when you do it's pretty easy to deal with it yourself. Everything is very accessible and mechanical (hardly any electronics). It's pretty Spartan, but if you only need a car do drive very well and put a smile on your face almost every time you drive it, this is the one for you. Carrgo capacity is OK for a car this size. You can manage luggage for a trip for two if you don't pack too much. Gas mileage depends on how you drive it but it's a lot better then most people assume. The tank isn't big so you have to fill it up every 210 miles, it takes about 30 liters. Although the turning circle is a bit on the big side compared to it's size, it's pretty easy to park, you have a perfect view where it ends.

The design is now 50 years old but the original formula still applies. Simplify. Add lightness. It has an old Holden engine, a ford Sierra gearbox, the rear axle out of a Morris Ital, and the front suspension from a Triumph TR5 and dispite all of this it could be described as the ultimate performance car. Nothing is allowed to comprimise the function of the machine. There is no heater, no stereo, no doors, and no roof. The 525kg mass of the car is distributed exactly evenly over the four wheels. The power is sent to the back, just like it should be. Most of the steering is done at the front but power oversteer is always an option! Every one is built by hand in Cambridgeshire by one of nine assembly workers, using Artisan techniques reserved for only the most discerning car enthusiasts. The chassis is clad in aluminium and the rest of the bodywork (also UK made) is moulded from Fibreglass. Needless to say, the drive is not comparable with any other driving experience. This little British car is a true Giant killer!

Amazing performance from a small engine, lightness being the key

Cosworth Turbo. Quick, quick, quick. We're talking motorbike speeds, and track-day car speeds. Handling and acceleration like a supercar (but without the top end to match), this really is about the quickest point-to-point car you can use on UK roads. However, it's so quick that you can't really explore its capability on the road, which means you spend most of your time journeying, which isn't great fun.
