After not driving an ST150 since I owned mine back in 2006, I jumped at the chance to review this totally standard, family owned car. But how does it feel in 2024?!

    Hey, do you think this is still worth a fair more thousands more compared to a RS3 nowadays? This is the closest vid I've come across where you've swapped from driving a RS3 to this back to back, but feel you didn't give more of a comparison between them other than feeling more old school and the more darty handling, etc. Do you think it's worth spending the extra? Thanks! Very seriously looking at them both atm.

    • @CarFocused
      @CarFocused 10 дней назад

      It all depends what you want from the car - obviously the RS3 will be more practical in terms of daily use but the TTRS is definitely more raw, and would be the better car for taking out for a spirited drive imo. I’ve had two of these on the channel now and loved them both, it’s a baby R8 😊 If you can find a low mileage 2018 car with sports exhaust I’d go for that, before the emission regs came in and muted the cars with the GPF’s 🤦🏼‍♂️ The RS3 felt a bit clinical really in all honesty, albeit still a great car.

    Great video! These are cracking cars and have flown under the radar for a while, but I think their time is coming.... They never made an RS version, so this is the 'hottest' version of it's time, almost like the XR2 / RS TURBO of it's era.... Always had a soft spot for these and have been wanting to get a really nice, low mileage cherished example into stock for quite a while! Finally managed to get one like in the video (minus the white stripes) that's been really well looked after! So much so, I'm tempted to keep it myself and take it to shows like you mentioned in your video! Cheers, Oakwood Car Sales Ltd.

    what speeds were you typically going on those french motorways? 38mpg seems horrible unless you were doing 85+mph

    • @CarFocused
      @CarFocused 14 дней назад

      We were doing around 80 - 85mph, with 7 suitcases, a roof box and 2 people in the car. Bear in mind the battery motor wouldn’t have been used much at all, it would mainly be the 2.0 petrol engine doing all the work as the battery motor only really comes into play at low speeds on light throttle. We are currently averaging 47mpg long term mixed driving.

The stock 150 is good enough but it dosent match the potential of the chassi unfortunately. 180 hp would be a good combo between performance and driveability.

    Agree wholeheartedly. For two main reasons 1. Inflation. The money printing catches up with you eventually. Magic money tree is always there to create more currency, hence the value decreases - prices inflate. 2. It’s all about the monthly payment. People don’t really care how much a car costs, they just accept the monthly payment, this gives credit brokers the upper hand. In fact the price is not really that important to them, only the price of their credit. If you knock £1,000 off the sticker price but then offer a higher interest rate over 4 years, you’ve made up that money. If people paid cash for cars, they’d have to save up, they’d have a much stronger sense of the value of money, and prices would fall accordingly. Fiat money rots society. Buy Bitcoin!
