Caterham Seven 170-Is it the answer for beginners?

Short answer, depends

The 170 is Caterhams new budget track day car, it was launched only recently and is promised to be a cheap way to feel the thrill of a track day. But the question I find myself asking is is it the best Caterham for novices to partake in to learn about our hobby or are they best with one of the 170s many predecessors. Well, I wanted to find out which is why I have spent the last few days hovering over spec sheets and the few YouTube comments from the launch to learn the answer. But before I begin I want to preface that I do love the new 170, I think it's great that we finally have an affordable Seven again. But, I just don't think it's the answer for a beginner.

I want to begin with a few downsides the 170 has and the first one is power because for long time Caterham enthusiasts 84 brake horsepower is enough to put a smile on our faces because we focus on the craftsmanship and history of the cars we drive, unlike beginners which is where the downside starts. After all, novices tend to focus on horsepower figures and top speed like we all did when we were less experienced. But, it has made me wonder if maybe a higher spec potentially secondhand Seven might be better because yes the 170 is the lightest Caterham ever produced only 440kgs but I’m just not convinced the power produced by the weight would be enough to satisfy some people.

Another benefit of buying secondhand is pricing, because yes the 170 is the cheapest in the Seven range at only 22,990 pounds. However, It is still too expensive for a majority of new Caterham enthusiasts. I understand and agree with the way Caterham gives people the option to keep the price low and know that since Caterham doesn't get as much business as other car manufacturers they have to regain that loss in price. This is why I think any novice buying a Caterham for the first time should take a serious look at the secondhand market before making their decision.

However, a benefit you get from buying one new is the ability to choose to build it yourself, something you can't get with any other car manufacture. And I think this is a big upside to any Seven because yes you have to source the tools yourself but Caterham offers a Draper kit for 400 pounds which gives you everything you need apart from an engine crane which you can buy for a couple of hundred pounds which may sound expensive at first but when you remember that getting Caterham to build it costs 2,395 pounds so it ends up cheaper to build it yourself. It's also a good alternative to buying a secondhand Project car because you don't have to worry about rust or the painful process to remove it, giving you peace of mind when you do want to do a track day.

However, on the unlikely chance that something goes catastrophically wrong, you have access to a great community that is amazing, this is my first post on this tribe, however, I have been a follower for a long time on multiple accounts, and I don’t think there is another community quite like this one no matter what website you go to everyone is helpful. So if want a car with a good community then I would buy a Caterham. And for me, a good community is what matters

My Favorite V8 Cars

When we often think of V8 cars nowadays we often think of classic American Muscle cars with their big six, seven, and sometimes eight litre engines, however, with climate change being one of the toughest challenges we are facing currently, people are now, if they aren’t buying electric, trying to buy smaller more economical engines squeezing the already tight market. We are told this rather sudden need is because of not only climate change but the ever-growing need for small practical cars, so, sadly, these challenges, might signal the end of V8s in cars. And with the saddening news about DriveTribe's future, I thought I would make these last posts on the platform some of my best to give DriveTribe the send-off and tribute it deserves, So I have compiled a list of some of my Favourite V8 cars produced, some from the twentieth century and some from the twenty-first. So without further ado please enjoy this Tribute to Drivetribe and to quote James May “Like, Comment, Follow.”

NO.3-Saleen S7
I want to kick off this list with the Saleen S7, a car that is, in my opinion, one of America’s best Supercars, yes I’m going to call it a supercar, and that’s because it was different from the rest of the market, I mean sure, we did get the Ford GT but that was flawed and problem-ridden and you could never get your hands on one since they were only given to loyal Ford buyers. Yes, if you got the naturally-aspirated S7 both cars produced the same amount of horsepower 550, but, if you get the twin-turbo engine that’s when you saw the difference with 750 horsepower at your disposal. Both cars were paired with a 6-speed manual but the Ford only has a 5.4-litre supercharged Ford module V8 engine, with a 0-60mph of 3.5 seconds, while the S7 has a 7.0-litre Ford Windsor V8 with a 0-60mph of 2.8 seconds, I’m sorry if I’m making it sound like a head to head I’m just laying out the facts, but, I want to now talk about the S7’s flaws. Because just because it’s good doesn’t mean it’s perfect, the brakes, for example, were terrible, some people found it hard to control because of the driver aids which were nonexistent, but, at least the transmission was terrible, however, if you don’t like the S7 you don’t have to stare at then very often since there are only 60 of them in the world, a bargain if you only paid 250,000usd for one when they were new. I don’t know how I can explain why I like this car, I respect it for what it did, but there are so many reasons that I don't think I could explain it in one article, I’m sure you all have one car that you like but you can’t explain why, and this is, for me, that car. It has firmly secured the number three spot in my dream garage for V8s, a title it truly deserves.

NO.2-Ferrari F355
The Ferrari 355, the car that starred in the James Bond film Goldeneye, is my second favourite V8, because, we’ll come on it’s a Ferrari, you’ve got to like them that’s the law. But that’s not the reason why I like the F355 the reason is the engine, because yes, it’s only a small 3.5-litre 5V F129 B/C V8, different from the typical V8s on this list, but it still has enough power to produce 375 horsepower with a 0-60mph time of just 4.7 seconds, 1.3 seconds faster than its predecessor the still rather new Ferrari 348, the F355 produces 35 more NM of torque with an official reading of 363 compared to the 348s mere 323 Newton Meters. The other thing I love about the F355 is the styling, its short sloping bonnet, and flat almost brick-like rear, nothing, in my opinion, can beat the style of the 355 because it is just superb, in some areas. You got a choice of transmissions you could either get a six-speed manual or a 6-speed F1 automated manual, however, there have been complaints from 355 owners about having to be careful when changing gear because of poor gearbox ratios and lack of drivers aids, they find if you change gear at too high of an RPM, the rear wheels will start to spin, but what do they know they’re only owners, that’s their complaints, but, I now want to express some of my own mainly involving styling. Both complaints lie with the convertible and body material, you'll get what I mean in a second, to start this rant I want to talk about the convertible because it looks terrible, you have to wonder who was in that design meeting got up and said yes let's cut a hole in the roof and just tell people to put the roof in the nonexistent gap behind the seats, I mean seriously Ferrari you should have done better, but, the biggest problem by a mile is the material because the panels on the 355 looks, from a distance or photograph, like a bucket, quite literally, if you go look at a 355 you'll get what I mean. But, even though the 355 isn’t perfect it is still my second favourite V8 ever produced, I admit it’s not a massive compliment considering it's coming from an obscure British bloke who spends his days writing rants for the internet, but it’s still on a list, not just mine but also at one point on Jeremy Clarkson’s. Which is one of the highest compliments any car can get from arguably one of the world's best motoring journalists.

Honorable Mention-Jenson Interceptor
The Jenson Interceptor like the Ferrari F355 starred in a few films, but, for the Interceptor it was a bit more modest than James Bond at first, it starred in a movie that I never knew of until I started researching for this post, it was called ‘The Junkman’ and has a rating of 6.8/10 on IMBD, but the Interceptor also starred in the James Bond film ‘Solo’, anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself back to the Interceptor. When it comes to the Interceptor it seems Jenson couldn’t decide which engine to put in, because when it was launched in 1966 it had a Low Deck Big Block V8 producing 335hp until 1971 when someone said, right this engine we’ve tested it we know it works with the market, so why don’t we put in a less powerful 255 horsepower High Deck Big Block V8 and then in five years change it again to a Small Block LA V8 to meet emission regulations, the small block produced only five brake horsepower less than the previous engine, presumably because they were all made by Chrysler. Despite all these variants, the interceptor never hit big with only 6,408 ever produced, It’s safe to say the lack of quality and strikes in factories put off a lot of people despite it only costing 26,650 pounds in 1976. But, I want to finish off the Jenson Interceptor by talking about styling, I know, it’s a car website but I’m going to talk about it anyway, don’t worry I'll make it quick. The Jenson Interceptors long straight bonnet moving towards the sloped rear boot is a style that I like to a great extent, even if it falls apart when it leaves the factory, but, I can see why it starred in a Bond film it has the shape and dare I say elegance for a 007 character. But, despite all the ups and downs of the Jenson Interceptor, I think it deserves to be number one on my honorable mentions, and in fact, if the Saleen S7 was a bit worse the Interceptor would be number three on my list.

NO.1-Ferrari 458 Speciale
I want to finish off my V8 dream garage list by talking about the Ferrari 458 Speciale, not only my Favourite V8 but my favourite Ferrari in general, like the F355 I first sat down to learn about the 458 after watching James May drive it up America’s east coast during season sixteen of
Top Gear, you know that now obscure car show on BBC one and two, and ever since then I wanted to learn about any 458 that Ferrari released until 2013 when at the Frankfurt Motorshow the Speciale edition was unveiled, at 208,000 pounds the Speciale was 30,000 pounds more than the standard 458 but that extra thirty grand gets you a vented bonnet, Forged wheels, a taller rear spoiler, redesigned bumpers, and movable front and rear flaps. The engine was also revised it was fitted with a 4.5 liter Ferrari F136 F V8 with the Speciale being able to produce 35 more horsepower than the standard car with an official figure of 597 horsepower compared to the original 458’s 562, the Speciale has a 0-60mph time of 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 210mph, there was also only 3,000 ever produced making it rare. But, the thing that I love most about the Speciale is not the exclusivity, the speed, the looks, it’s the feeling, as soon as you sit inside a Ferrari you know, it’s hard to explain but it’s almost like this sudden buzz, the sudden realization of, wow! I’m in a Ferrari, I'm sorry, I just can’t quite explain it, because you have to have been in a Ferrari to understand what I mean. Anyway, reader, it’s time to talk about the important topic of reliability, because according to reports the 458 had transmission failures during 2010 and into 2011, and the 458 was even recalled multiple times once for the Crankshaft which tended to fail causing a sudden engine seizure which according to Ferrari may result in a crash, now, I’m no crash expert but if your engine suddenly seizes at speed of course your going to crash, but, what do I know. However at least if your engine didn’t try to kill you the brakes would take over that job for you because a few years ago Ferrari recalled nearly 10,000 vehicles due to a potential brake fluid leak which could lead to low brake fluid resulting in a partial or full loss of braking. And who could forget about the 458’s tendency to catch on fire, as Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond made very clear to James May on their east coast road trip. From the differentness of the Saleen S7 to the Jenson Interceptor to the superb 458, this was my, an obscure British bloke, list of all-time favourite V8s and small tribute to DriveTribe, one of, if not the best car website ever.

With the dawn of a new era of cars. I along with many were surprised when Audi launched their new TT particularly since they are so determined to have an electric line up by 2025. However, even though the 2015 Model came out just before a huge advance in the car industry, I still regard it as one of the best TTs ever produced.

One of the reasons why I love the 2015 model of the TT is the performance. Even though the TT only has a finicky two-liter turbo it still has enough power to produce 211 horsepower with a 0-100kph time of six seconds and an overall top speed of 250kph. And even though Audi has been making two-litre turbos since the 1980s this is still an impressive feat, especially since this TT only has 89 fewer horsepower than their 1990 Rallycar that finished second in the overall standings that year. Furthermore, it isn’t the vast amount of power that is impressive it is how Audi has been able to keep that engine power while still keeping the quality that their customers demand and expect.

While we are on the topic of quality I want to talk about the TT’s style because I will be the first to admit that Audi’s styling can with some cars be rather awful. I mean all you have to do is look back to 2005 when Audi was still making the dreadful A2 to know what I’m talking about. However, when I saw the TT for the first time I was surprised as well pleased because it was a thing of beauty, with smooth lines and no panel gaps just like a car should be. And it is, in my opinion, the best-looking TT ever made.

I think that what helps the design is the large range of colors, some colors are Vegas yellow, Floret silver, Scuba blue, and Mythos black to name a few. I am not alone because there is a wide range of these colors for sale on Autotrader. This brings me nicely onto one of my last points, which is second-hand value.

No car is safe from the current inflation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and while some car values have skyrocketed over one hundred thousand pounds, others such as the Audi TT stay at a fairly modest price. For example, if you are happy to drive a car with a few minor faults you can buy a TT for as little as five thousand pounds, which I think is a fair price for what is arguably one of the most interesting sports cars on the second-hand market, behind only the Porsche 911 and 944. However, you have to be careful when buying a second-hand TT since oftentimes the cheap ones can be write-offs or untaxed, furthermore, previous MOT failures are a common occurrence in stating that if not taken care of properly the TT can be expensive to own.

My overall opinion of the 2015 Audi TT is quite good, in my days of research I have not been able to find any faults with the TT apart from the common MOT failures I discussed earlier furthermore instating that the 2015 Audi TT is the best produced

@carsoffortlangley
Thanks, also how do you get reputation and live in the UK

Short answer-Yes

The automotive industry is currently going through a monumental change away from the internal combustion engine, a sad day for petrolheads, but, while some brands such as Porsche have decided to go the way of Synthetic fuel a vast majority of manufacturers including Fiat have decided that their future involves electric cars a future we see once again with the new Fiat 500 action, with this way of transportation looking more and more like reality with electric cars constantly getting cheaper. With a price of only 23,495 pounds, the 500 certainly isn’t expensive so it seems to be the most logical way to buy into the electric car market. But This raises the question of, is it? Or are you better off with another brand

I want to talk a bit more about the price because like I said earlier at 23,495 pounds it is one of the cheapest electric cars currently on the market only 1,505 pounds more than the dreaded and tasteless second-generation Nissan Leaf(2018 pricing) but, don’t be fooled by the price and think it is just a bare car because as standard you get sophisticated features such as an E-Call SOS system, digital instrument cluster and a keyless go but I think the most amazing feature is the range because while some car manufactures think 81 miles is enough, Cough Smart Fortwo Cough, Fiat has taken the time to develop a good battery range which is something I want to talk about next.

Battery life is something that a lot of car manufacturers struggle with, however, the 500 is the first cheap electric car, that I'm aware of, that comes with a practical battery range for daily driving with the official figures reading 159km around town and 118.1km combined range thanks to the standard EV one-pedal system, However, I am rather skeptical about the brochure since Fiat once owned 90% percent of Ferrari which has/had an incredibly optimistic speedometer. I know Fiat now only has a ten percent stake in the Ferrari brand, however, that Italian ingenuity is contagious, I'm not saying it's just Italian car manufacturers but it is where it's most known.

Quality, is a word that is not always translated to Italian with a lot of automobile manufacturers in the region producing cars that are stunning to look at but have the interior trim fall off when you close the door, which is a slight oversight I’ll admit but over the years the Italians have gotten better at producing cars that stay together without superglue, but the Fiat 500’s quality is, from what I can see, is rather good its black fabric seats and dashboard provide a bit of style and more importantly comfort and the steering wheel looks high quality with the driver being able to turn up or down the stereo with a flip of their thumb thanks to the audio controls being placed on the steering wheel. You can also easily see the digital instrument cluster. However, with the goods, there have to be downsides for example when Top Gear reviewed the 500 they found that if you didn't get the radio pack for 850 pounds then “the infotainment screen is whatever size your phone is” and “the 500 has always felt like a car you sit on top of, and a redesign has not helped.” but these are both minor issues when you remember it's only 23 grand a price most competitors can’t beat.

Italian cars may have been some of the most unreliable cars on the planet but they do know how to make some real rocket ships for example Ferrari have won the 24hrs of Le mans an incredible eight times, speed pretty much runs in Italian cars formula with the country giving us cars such as the F40, Enzo, Stratos, and the Pagani Zonda type R and what Fiat has done is take all of this history all of this affection for speed and threw it out of their Turin window and created something spectacularly slow. With a 0-60 time of 9.5seconds and a top speed of just 84mph, it's unlikely to get any land speed records it also lacks refinement unlike other electric cars where you get your power all at once the Fiat gains speed at a steady but slow rate, a small price to pay I guess to get into the electric car market. But I still haven't answered the question I asked at the start but I feel I am now qualified to tell you that the Fiat 500 action is the most logical way into the EV market, I mean yes there are flaws but all in all, it’s a good little car and from what I can tell from reviews and brochures if you're looking for a small cheap EV look no further.

But I want to know what you think, is it a good car? Let me know in the comments

@dsm_or_die
I agree it can be an upgrade but also a sidestep but hopefully over a few years the models become more of an upgrade, you are also not the only one who has built one in the configurator.

The engine was also revised it was fitted with a 4.5 liter Ferrari F136 F V8 with the Speciale being able to produce 35 more horsepower than the standard car with an official figure of 597 horsepower compared to the original 458’s 562, the Speciale has a 0-60mph time of 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 210mph, there was also only 3,000 ever produced making it rare. But, the thing that I love most about the Speciale is not the exclusivity, the speed, the looks, it’s the feeling, as soon as you sit inside a Ferrari you know, it’s hard to explain but it’s almost like this sudden buzz, the sudden realization of, wow! I’m in a Ferrari, I'm sorry, I just can’t quite explain it, because you have to have been in a Ferrari to understand what I mean. Anyway, reader, it’s time to talk about the important topic of reliability, because according to reports the 458 had transmission failures during 2010 and into 2011, and the 458 was even recalled multiple times once for the Crankshaft which tended to fail causing a sudden engine seizure which according to Ferrari may result in a crash, now, I’m no crash expert but if your engine suddenly seizes at speed of course your going to crash, but, what do I know.

@orneryduck
Definitely EV will eventually become more efficient overtime but will never be as good as the internal combustion engine it’s just been around to long. I do also agree and acknowledge that people expect more range it was more an article seeing if it was an option who needed/wanted an electric car but couldn’t afford a Golf or an I3. thanks for reading and commenting

@mybirdistheword
Yeah, if you don’t get as much rain your probably best getting something cheaper, since rust isn’t a problem, thanks for reading.
