    Episode 167 - £10,000 Used Car Challenge Part 2

    Summary  Teeks and Riri return for the second round of their £10,000 used-car challenge, comparing the best-value and fastest petrol and hybrid cars across multiple body styles. They also investigate alternative fuels, surprisingly high-mileage listings, and whether buying used makes more sense as new-car prices continue to rise.  In this episode:  Teeks wins the challenge 53-42 after comparing hatchbacks, saloons, estates, coupés, SUVs, convertibles, and MPVs.  Petrol hatchback highlights include Teeks' 2017 Volkswagen Polo GTI, while Riri considers a Mercedes A-Class, SEAT Leon, Volvo V40, and Citroën C3.  Performance picks include a Volkswagen Scirocco R, Audi S6 Avant with a 5.2-litre V10, Audi S5 V8, and several high-mileage performance cars that would be risky to own.  The pair debate what counts as a sensible estate, comparing a 2014 Skoda Superb with newer Ford Focus and Fiat Tipo estates.  A Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid becomes the surprise performance winner in the hybrid SUV category.  Hybrid highlights include the Suzuki Swift, Toyota Prius, BMW i3 Range Extender, BMW 535i Active Hybrid, and Toyota Prius V.  Riri explains why hybrid convertibles are almost impossible to find under £10,000 in the UK.  Alternative-fuel cars, biofuels, ethanol, LPG, and chip-fat conversions are discussed, with both hosts noting how difficult these cars are to find and insure.  The highest-mileage listings include a 2018 Dacia Duster with 801,000 miles, a 2016 Audi A3 with 770,000 miles, and a 1965 Morris Minor showing 640,000 miles.  The challenge reinforces the value of the used market, especially as the average new-car price reached roughly £34,000 compared with £18,000 a decade earlier.  Timestamps  01:07 - Petrol hatchbacks: best value under budget 05:33 - Volkswagen Polo GTI wins the first round 07:01 - Fast petrol hatchbacks and the Scirocco R 12:31 - Petrol saloons: Lexus versus Toyota Avensis 16:56 - The dangers of buying a damaged Mercedes C63 AMG 19:20 - Maserati Quattroporte and high-mileage performance bargains 22:31 - Finding a sensible petrol estate 25:10 - Skoda Superb versus newer Ford Focus estate 30:54 - The Audi S6 V10 estate surprise 35:14 - What actually qualifies as a sensible coupé? 39:23 - Audi TT wins the petrol coupé value round 42:06 - Audi S5 V8 versus BMW 645 performance battle 45:54 - Sensible SUVs and the Suzuki Grand Vitara 50:23 - The Infiniti FX as a potential SUV sleeper 54:47 - Petrol convertibles: why the Mazda MX-5 makes sense 60:12 - Jaguar XKR versus Mercedes SLK performance 61:39 - MPVs and the problem of finding a fast one 66:16 - BMW 2 Series Active Tourer wins despite being unpopular 67:16 - The hybrid categories begin 69:43 - Suzuki Swift beats Toyota Yaris for hybrid value 73:44 - BMW i3 Range Extender wins the hybrid hatchback performance round 75:32 - Toyota Prius versus Ford Mondeo hybrid 78:11 - BMW 535i Active Hybrid beats the Mercedes E300 80:09 - Hybrid estates are becoming harder to find 88:11 - Hyundai Bayon versus Suzuki Vitara 90:09 - The £10,000 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid discovery 92:13 - Hybrid convertibles are almost nonexistent 94:00 - Hybrid MPVs and the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer 96:40 - Why alternative-fuel cars are rare in the UK 98:24 - Searching for the highest-mileage used car 100:17 - Cars with 800,000-mile odometers 102:36 - Rising new-car prices and the case for buying used 106:00 - Why hybrid ownership can offer the best of both worlds   Important information  If you enjoy our podcast and what we do here, please consider giving us a like and follow on your podcast platform of choice.

    Episode 165 - F1 2026 Spanish Grand Prix

    Summary  Teeks reviews the inaugural 2026 Spanish Grand Prix at Madrid’s Mad Ring, from the circuit’s limited overtaking to Kimi Antonelli’s dominant victory.

    Episode 164 - £10,000 Used Car Challenge Part 1

    Summary  Teeks and Riri put a £10,000 used-car budget through its paces across electric and diesel body styles. They compare value, performance, mileage, range, practicality, reliability concerns, and the strange bargains appearing on the used market, with the challenge ending in a narrow 26-24 score and a promised petrol, hybrid, and alternative-fuel sequel.  In this episode:  Riri sets the rules: every car must run, cost less than £10,000, and avoid Category C, D, and S write-offs. Cars under 60,000 miles earn a bonus point.  The EV challenge begins with hatchbacks, including the £9,695 Dacia Spring and a £9,500 Vauxhall Corsa Electric. Riri’s 2019 BMW i3 wins the performance round with a 6.9-second 0-60 time.  Electric saloons prove extremely difficult to find under budget. Riri finds a 2019 Tesla Model 3, but it has 150,000 miles and raises questions about battery degradation.  The MG5 dominates the electric estate category. Teeks chooses an £8,690 2021 MG5, while Riri finds a longer-range 2022 version for £9,990.  A £8,995 Jaguar I-Pace gives Teeks a major comeback in the electric SUV performance round, delivering 395 bhp, 696 Nm of torque, and a 4.5-second 0-60 time.  The electric MPV and convertible rounds reveal how limited the market is, although Teeks finds a 2023 Citroën ë-Berlingo and a low-mileage Smart Fortwo Cabriolet.  Diesel hatchbacks offer far more choice. Riri picks a £6,990 Hyundai i30 with 44,000 miles, while Teeks selects a £10,000 2018 BMW 120d Sport for performance.  Diesel estates deliver practical bargains, including the Ford Focus Estate and Škoda Octavia. Riri wins the category with a newer, lower-mileage Octavia.  The diesel SUV performance round produces the episode’s most outrageous car: a Porsche Cayenne S Diesel with a twin-turbo 4.2-litre V8, 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, and 150,000 miles.  Timestamps  00:00 - The £10,000 used-car challenge begins  01:03 - Why new and used car prices are so high  02:14 - Challenge rules, mileage bonuses, and no write-offs  03:49 - Why alternative fuels are included  04:48 - Searching for the best-value electric hatchback  07:57 - The £9,695 Dacia Spring  09:27 - EV range, home charging, and real-world usability  10:19 - Riri’s £9,500 Vauxhall Corsa Electric  13:10 - Finding the fastest electric hatchback  15:13 - The BMW i3 wins the performance round  16:30 - Why electric saloons are nearly impossible to find  18:46 - A £9,485 Tesla Model 3 with 150,000 miles  20:17 - Battery degradation and EV range loss  21:18 - Electric estates and the MG5 problem  24:15 - The £8,690 MG5 value pick  25:17 - A longer-range MG5 for £9,990  29:01 - Electric coupes and the Smart Fortwo  31:39 - The Smart Fortwo earns double points  33:27 - Mazda MX-30 range concerns  34:12 - The DS 3 beats the Mazda on range  36:28 - Jaguar I-Pace performance for under £10,000  38:12 - Why electric MPVs and convertibles are rare  40:39 - The Citroën ë-Berlingo versus Nissan e-NV200  42:42 - Electric convertibles and the Smart Fortwo Cabriolet  44:21 - Switching from EVs to diesel  47:29 - Hyundai i30 versus Volkswagen Polo  49:04 - The diesel hatchback score  51:16 - BMW 120d performance under £10,000  53:51 - Diesel saloons and the Mazda 6  56:36 - Why the Kia Optima looks like the sensible choice  58:41 - BMW versus Jaguar diesel performance  60:50 - Diesel estates: Ford Focus versus Škoda Octavia  62:49 - Comparing price, age, and mileage  Important information  If you enjoy our podcast and what we do here, please consider giving us a like and follow on your podcast platform of choice.
