The Caterham Seven 360R, the ultimate track weapon or the perfect daily? How about both. The 360R offers punchy performance, frugal fuel economy and some practicality all while having head turning ability. On track or in town, every moment is a fun moment - but just HOW fun??

Loved your practical, no-nonsense review of the excellent 360R. What a beautiful car & the fun that you obviously had came over in spades! Thanks too for detailing the 'extras' & coming up with a final speced price. In this world of electric cabriolet roofs your review left me wondering just how tricky that roof assembly would be...but with a car so retro & gorgeous who cares about modern electronics!! I want & will have a Caterham 7!!

@pierce324 6 лет назад

I fully advocate for the Caterham, they're amazing!

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

They truly are. I have a lust to take a 620R on a big road trip now. :D

@PetrolPed 6 лет назад

When I tried a pull away like you started your film with in the 620R I snapped both drive shafts !!!!

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

Boy racer aren’t you! :-)

@Catbat 2 года назад

Congrats dude!! that was the best Caterham 7 review I have come across!! 👍🏻 you even touch on things like a drive through! Perfect 👌🏻

@barrypeters4659 6 лет назад

Huge love for what you did. I own a 620R and would never consider driving it distance but you've inspired me to plan a road trip in mine now! Thanks.. :)

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

Glad to hear it! :))

I would think that anyone remotely mechanical could install softer Shocks and Switch up the Sway Bars in very little Time . Also if not doing that the a change of tires to some higher profiles could also soften the ride.

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

For sure. I think it’s not too uncomfortable anyway, if you’ve not got the track seats at least..

@BERTVVANHORCK Год назад

I ve just done a 2500 mile trip around France with my wife in my Caterham. It was very enjoyable, and with an "E" bag on top of the boot you don't even have to go Commando!

@daveking4229 6 лет назад

The trick to avoiding the "wuss" workout is just to learn to creep very slowly and then start turning the steering wheel. That takes most of the load off. You will need to be in control of your clutch foot first though lol.

@paulbarclay8699 6 лет назад

noise, power, smoke,.. love it!

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

POWAH as Clarkson would say..

Great review and such a awesome car :)

@tomazjimo2083 6 лет назад

i want it! so cool, hows the back lol,,

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

If anything you stretch out getting in and out, so my back was better than ever. :D

@James-gg9lu 5 лет назад

I'm looking to get a 360R shortly, i'm torn between getting the SV body and the standard. Whilst I have heard the SV produces more understeer on the track I am worried the standard body will just be too small for weekend journey's. Any tips? I want to use it 50/50 as a weekend car/ track car

@TheAutoDad 5 лет назад

The SV gives you considerably more comfort for weekend use, but I’ve read from owners about understeer on track. I didn’t experience it, very nimble car, but I can understand the physics behind it. If you want it for both, I’d say go SV, else you won’t want to drive it anywhere except the track I think.

@James-gg9lu 5 лет назад

@@TheAutoDad Yeah that's what I was thinking. I know that bookatrack down in donnington rent these out for a day for about £200. I think I might ask to test drive both to get a better idea before committing! I noticed that you have the more comfortable seats rather than the composite (which I think are standard with the R pack?) do you find the comfier seats hold you well when cornering?

@alexhurter5271 4 года назад

Tom, great vid mate! What size are you (in cm) - just to gauge which chassis size would fit me.

@TheAutoDad 4 года назад

I’m about 177/178cm.

@sammiewithers1009 6 лет назад

The noise is great, looks really low though. how usable was it really?

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

Very usable, even in the rain. :)

@sammiewithers1009 6 лет назад

Didn't it try and kill you lol?

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

Maybe once.. or twice.

@mookmusik 6 лет назад

400 plus miles for a gig? That must have been a pretty well paid one..LOL but I guess any excuse to drive the Caterham.

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

If only it had been well paid. Haha! It was worth it, made the journey there and back as much fun as the gig itself.

@alanhillyard1639 2 года назад

You afraid of the indicators?

@セブンマニア-w6f 6 лет назад

360R❗️

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

Yes! :D

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

Is the 360R the ultimate daily? Or would prefer it just on the weekends? Let me know!

@tomazjimo2083 6 лет назад

daily! :D,,

@sammiewithers1009 6 лет назад

weekends aha.

@barrypeters4659 6 лет назад

I'm now considering 'daily'ing mine, it would certainly wake me up in the morning!

@paulbarclay8699 6 лет назад

id daily it, go on!

@britw5102 6 лет назад

mmmm daily!

@garymurraya 5 лет назад

and multi story car park test please?

@TheAutoDad 5 лет назад

That would be hilarious and horrific! We've already got a 420R video coming, but maybe we'll try your suggestion in the summer.. :)

@garymurraya 5 лет назад

@@TheAutoDad maybe do a comparison to the westfield sport 250 vs the 420R, almost 10k cheaper and more power for the westfield, but generally does not get good reviews from top gear and the likes which can sometimes depend on deep pockets rather than genuine beliefs.... just a thought ;) .

@TheAutoDad 5 лет назад

I'll have to look into getting hold of one, not sure they operate in the same way as other manufacturers.

@quwers 6 лет назад

Should've called it the 321R.

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

I did wonder where their model naming came from. 321 would’ve made much more sense.

@britw5102 6 лет назад

loooooovely car :3

@TheAutoDad 6 лет назад

Oh yes, it is!

@neilg3364 6 лет назад

It's more like 600kg with s.v

@garrett3055 5 лет назад

These things bottom out like crazy! And they break like a cheap toy, total junk

@TheAutoDad 5 лет назад

Yeah, they're rather low. We've just had a 420R come in for review, fun in the wet! I've heard of some drivetrain issues, but only when they've been tracked etc.. what is your experience with them breaking? :)
