Caterham Challenge - Can You Daily A Caterham? | 6 Days, 700 Miles & The 170R 

Just had a drive home in my 170hp x-flow Seven from the M23 to the M25, good fun through the Dartford tunnel greta noise and Jets of flame from the exhaust on the downshifts, the best bit was that I was only doing between 40 and 50mph so they are enjoyable to drive even at low speed.

Kia Ora & Good Morning from Caribbean Drive, Unsworth Heights, North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand ... Another Great Video Bro.

Brilliant review. Made me smile from beginning to the end. What a fun car. It was great. Loved the doughnuts!! 😊😍

I have a 1700 cross flow with 135 bhp. It is still fun after twenty five years and I could sell it for what I paid for it. An every day car, no way, if in doubt try and put the roof up in a hurry! Try driving one in ice or snow, even rain makes me think twice. Cross flows prove that you don't have to spend a fortune to enjoy a 7.

I’ve been waiting for someone to do this video for this long thank you sooo much!

Fab video. We have just bought our first Caterham (second hand and being rebuilt at the mo - delivery in 4 weeks time!) hence bashing through RU-vid for videos etc. This is easily one of the best out there for understanding the day to day stuff. Half hood ordered for ours ... just need to get out there now.

Brilliant video Bex! One of my comments on one of your videos a long time ago I think I suggested a hoot in a Caterham on the track, it's great that you did a week as a daily driver and shared your experience. I have been fortunate to be a passenger in one around Donnington Park track and had the chance to drive one on the road many years ago. Like you I love them. They may be built to a style long gone but the raw feeling of driving such a little 'motoring dart' on the roads is a cherished memory for me. Seeing this video has ignited my want for one if only I had the room to park it and maintain it. Thanks again with proving that you can actually carry a passenger and a take away meal. And praise to your mum as well for taking part as well.

Really loved it😊 I get my 485S in August this year...cant wait💪

Great review, really liked it. I'm building a Locost from scratch, here in the States. Duratec 2.5L, NC MX-5 6 speed and LSD diff.

Great video… I think your mum loved every minute of the donut… x

Belter. first time watching your channel and you showcase my fave car type.

You made doughnuts with a 170. I can orden mine!

It's so sad that Lotus quit making the Elise. It still looks great.

Kind of one step above a motorcycle! Awesome!

New subscriber Bex, great video. You're brave going on a motorway in something so small, much more suited to doughnuts in that trading estate and a track 😂. Can't believe they couldn't figure out a better roof in this tech world. Caterham have joined up with Aston Martin dealerships, there's one right near me in Walton on Thames,, a test drive is on the cards! 👍

great video becca 🔥 great car 👏🏻 love that but the angle of the camera should be changed .. on the side seen piloting or from behind seen piloting angle camera 10’31-10’35 so good and perfect keep it up 💪

Great daily review, thanks.

Class video Bex 👌🏼

I really want a Caterham, great review

Great video, made me want to go drive mine 😊

You are young, slim and fit. What’s it like getting into that for a 60 year old pot bellied bloke with knackered joints I wonder? I’d be scared to get stuck if I actually got in.

Awesome video 💕

When driving topless I used to wear ear plugs. They take away the wind so you can hear everything else but, the wind.

15:46 Automatic subtitles are pretty accurate: .... [Music] ... [Applause] ...

I love these ! Am seriously debating after 1 year of driving jacking in my a1 and buying one of these to daily, doing a 20 mile drive to work everyday 12 of it on a dual carriageway do you think it would be fine for that ? Great video keep it up 👍

How easy is it to do slides in the corners if you want to on the 170 compared to the more powerful models? Do you think you would prefer the non-R suspension for road use? I really think I need to test drive one of these and a Lotus. The problem with these luxury 'sports cars' like BMWs, Porsches, Jaguar etc is that they're so insulated, refined and capable that they just end up feeling like a boring cruisy luxury car. That said I have sat in a Caterham and it was such a tight squeeze and very uncomfortable. I also don't really like the interior on lotus cars for the price. I'm going to have to make a compromise somewhere though as there's nothing really in between. I guess there's the MX-5 which I do like quite a bit. Have you tried the large body Caterham's?

I brought an ev around Christmas time just to be cheap due to the fuelcrisis In the uk but if that wasn’t an issue I really would have brought the 170r I’m really curious what mpg you managed to get as if it does get anywhere near the claimed 60mpg I think I’d have to bite the bullet and get one

That roof did not look tight when you put it on in the rain

If you can Daily a Bike you can daily a Chaterham easily .

Why toggle switches for signals that's just Lazy change . Easily done add a lever ... They use them in Sand Rails the are street legal . Easily installed ... Steering colum.

Defiantly not a grocery getter, for more than a days worth (maybe not even that?). ;-)

Drive this beside truck..is something scary
