Great video and refreshing content! Well done ladies
Thanks Grace! keep watching each Friday for new REV tests.
great to see Vicki back doing reviews!
I gotta say ,this video was a pleasure to watch , when the sun shines UK is a completely different place .
Fitting as I’m the 124th comment, I have owned this actual car that vicki is driving (fiat 124 spider) for over 18 months now and it’s absolutely fantastic and a lot quieter than the mx5 at hi speeds due to the improved sound deadening on the doors, the Mazda has bare metal on the doors where as the fiat doesn’t, if that doesn’t say higher quality, then I don’t know what does!
Prefer the exposed body-coloured areas on the Mx5 doors - particularly when it’s soul red. Much better than the all-black look.
@@brickmissing8295 I agree with the soul red! It’s a stunning colour, I ended up getting soul red mirror caps goes so well with the Pearl white 👌🏻
I'd go with the 124 too. Bet it's a treat!
Well I enjoyed this and would love to see more group tests and original content. Awesome to see VBH on the screen again too.
Ive just bought an MX5 and I could not be happier. Can someone now tell me where to get a woman like Vicki Butler-Henderson?😁👍
I really like the REV test format, more please. 🙂
Love it - keep up the great work!
Heeeey :-) Vicki, its good to see her again.
Very refreshing videos, keep them coming.
Good to see hoover moulinex has still got it :) If you are going to have two in a car I think it works better if you have more of a conversation rather than doing two ‘presentations’ but as a first attempt at a double act I think it has potential :)
Great video, thanks , I’ll start saving for the TT cab . Lovely , fun car with amazing build quality . Thanks .
Exellent ! More please.
Great video
Wise choice ladies, mx5 is the best in fun driving
Vicki and Rachael in the same car! Awesome vid. Miata all the way.
Was just waiting for the Golf ball and shout of fore!!!!!!!!! :)
Mx5 for sure, TT is faster but it's a mellowed out sports car, more like a small gt. Mx5 is the definition of sports car. Small, light weight, rwd, and more fun being a convertible
Great review, congratulations! I don't know about the UK, but the Audi is worth double the price of the MX5 here in Australia, so that's another consideration :-)
Best review ever , girls you awesome
I have a Mk2 version of both the mx5 and TT. The mx5 is fun when the weather is great and is so small it’s great for country lanes, not good in the winter or wet conditions. The TT though just makes me smile more due to the 2 litre turbo performance. The TT performance is intoxicating, reminds when when I had a 5 turbo. Both great cars though, TT for daily drive and mx5 for the sunny days.
Had a Black Mk1 TT and it was a thing of beauty - the inside was like an SS officer’s uniform. However the steering was dead-feeling and the handling sucked. Basically a Golf with a nicer body and styling. I understand they improved the handling on the Mk2 but IMHO they never recaptured the aesthetic purity of Mk1 design. Now I’m considering an MX5 for my mid-life crisis car so interesting to see them compared.
The Fiat/Abarth 124 Spider is already a considered classic. People who know.....KNOW it is a fantastic sports car. Don't believe me....look at prices online. They are going up not down. Abarth 124s could be had for £15k a few years ago, now they are £18k plus and most are over £20k.
Clicked on this for the TT, stayed for lovely Rachel. Rebecca Jackson, this is how normal people speak!
Nice video :) I would go for the TT, but duh ;)
Vicki!
Mx5 all the way Reliable, RWD...more fun and a cult classic.

Vicki!!! I have missed you! So happy you re back

Having driven both a Ferrari 360, and a Mk1 MX5 for a number of years, I can tell you that the MX5 is nearly as much “fun” but it packs no thrills, compared to the Fezza. The Italian car is a thrill-machine. Its engine vibrates through your spine a bit at idle, the suspension is like a magic carpet ride compared to the MX5, and the effortless speed and sound you are rewarded with make the Ferrari raise your pulse too, whereas the MX5 only manages to raise a smile. Seating position is very similar, that’s quite funny.
great video
Proper review and winner.
Not sure that tt is in the same category, if you want a fun convertible it’s not going to be in the running.
Vicki !!
Great item thanks girls
I love Rachael's voice so much, I might ask her if she wants to come round and read the newspaper to me.
Need the ABARTH
It's built on the older Mx5 platform..so why not the reliable Mazda over unreliable Fiat.. The Mazda will hold it's value better , never breakdown.. Fiat Spider...very stupid choice.
@@265justy hmm... say what you like but I've owned an Abarth Spider for over a year now, it's absolutely brilliant and quite reliable. Plus being built on a Mazda chassis in the same factory, finding parts and replacements are easy. It's a great car, I was originally looking to buy an MX5 but for me the Abarth has that extra element of oomph and allure about it. Each to their own I suppose but it's quickly becoming a modern future classic.
You can tell who's got passion for cars and who's there because they need the job....
All damned good at the job as far as I'm concerned. All clear, direct and comfortable.
@@brianerikhay1873 you can not even compare between the 2. Only one of them is to be trusted as an opinion. The other one feels like reading a script (bad) straight from the manufacture..
Nice
I love Rachael voice💞💞💞
Rachael Hogg needs to do a ASMR video!
OMG the amount of sociological flags are stunning. This must have been a lot of work.
Take the ABARTH 124 Spider with 1.4L engine and 170 hp for the test and not the FIAT
8 seconds in, this gets a like
Do a REV test on saloons
We are working on it!
better than the new top gear
Why not include the TT convertible ?
Mazda more fun but TT build quality is amazing !
Still I am trading my TT shortly for the 2.0 MX5
Refreshing to see women review cars! It helps a lot to see what it’s like.
Yes
Also there's Rebecca who previously worked at carbuyer
The moment they anywhere upscale or to impress, they're all reaching for the keys to the TT. Plus, the TT will easily exceed the performance of the other two.
Not everybody cares about impressions.
And exceeds repair bills, Tiny money pit. Buy Jap
124 best looking
If I get a Fiat, will people think its James Bpnd coming?
What? Only three (3) cars worthy of testing must be English. Two (2) of them are the same car.
Mazda mx5 the best forever!
What have you all been drinking ? Shots of Jaeger on an empty stomach ? TT in second ? I'm speechless
If you need a rear parking camera in an MX5 you need to retake your driving test!
The MX5 is also the smallest.
TT in a (fevered) heartbeat..
Put some money aside for repairs, lol
@@javigar133 Done the cam chain revision and is man-trans also got low klms so pretty sorted here, but my best wishes for U2 lol
Great to see VBH with sports cars, but what the fuck is a golf doing in a sports car test?
Should be the mx5, Toyota 86, and 2 series
Audi TT
Well at the end of the day i will buy GT 86
What owner of a small coupe will EVER need to carry that much stuff?
@Jacob Thompson: That's why we've got an A4 Avant S-Line TFSI Quattro (what a mouthful) alongside the ND 2.0 MX-5. One fast and capacious, the other just puts a smile on your face. Cliche I know - but it's so true. Whisper it quietly but if you can't be arsed to put on all the motorbike clobber and the full face helmet - then the Mazda does a great turn at a blast in the countryside. Just at lower speed.
3:50-3:55 that why i like Vicky..
Drive Fiat's Abarth version forget mazda
If you have the money you would buy it - it's a resellers paradise cove, but all is left is plushy Warcraft toys as you praise them to stop in a Tesla.
hands up for Mazda guys
MX-5 is ALWAYS the answer
02:08 You wot m8? 😨
‘Looso’ trim? 😂 Try Lusso, it’s a double ‘s’ preceded by a ‘u’!
Audi TT Coupe vs Roadster . Joke ?
There are those Who chose the Mazda, and those Who wish they had chosen It. No contest here
My bears are having sex already
I thought that this was going to be a good review about cars because I like Vicki's enthusiasm and style but this was boooring. Who are those other 2? They seemed to be there for PC purposes, enough already! They might have been more useful if they had draped themselves across the bonnets.
the thing i'm happiest about is the quality comments! *knocks on wood* but this is also interesting, even tho i'm not really a car person ahaha
That Audi TT is just plain dull and actually its a hatchback more than a sports car. Give me the Mazda / Fiat every time.
Or just buy a BRZ
👍👍👍
A very real mistake on this review. The Fiat 124 Spider has more soundproofing than the MX-5 in the cabin area. Double lined convertible roof on the Fiat and single lined on Mazda. Extra thick sound resistant front windshield on the Fiat and regular on Mazda. Extra thick rear window on soft top on Fiat, not on Mazda plus extra sound proofing on the floorboards on Fiat that isn’t on the Mazda. This has been confirmed by both manufacturers. Sorry that you got that point wrong on this video. I have driven both extensively and the Fiat 124 Spider has definitely less interior noise especially with top up than the MX-5. Top down they are pretty much the same depending out outside noise.
Vbh
TT is on another level :D
Wait what, is the Fiat and the Mazda the same price? I mean, they both come in a 1.4 version.
No they dont. Fiat is a 1.4 turbo whereas the mx5 is a 1.5 petrol n/a or a 2.0 n/a
Take Audi TT all day long 🏁🍻The performance levels on the TT blow the other two out of the water.
Depends of what you choose. If you prefer pure performance, TT winss, far away from the other two.
But if you look for fun over lap time, the Mazda is far above the TT.
TheMiataDriver Depends on personal preference and if you take your car on a track.
It's a front wheel drive golf, you clearly don't understand sports cars, power isn't everything
Christopher O'Grady The chassis isn’t.And the quality in the interior is much better.Dont see a Gulf in this line up 😆 Yes I know some of the mechanisms on the TT are the same as the gulf R.The Gulf R is AWD by the way.
Reflection Car Care Detailing these R is still FWD, haldex systems only send a small amount of power to the back when the fronts slip, and the rear driveshaft is tiny. Not a sports car.
Only one out of those 3 where any decent and worth while taking out for a spin. Audi TT all day long, but not a tall mans car.
I take the Mazda any day over those TT money pits, no contest
Don't even need to watch it, the mx5 wins easily.
#wheremymazdaboisat
Fiat reliability is tonk, Audi parts are expensive. MX5 is always the answer.
Mx5 interior etc feels cheap,body roll is unacceptable
Who would not choose the TT: much better interior quality, almost double the amount of interior space, much more powerful/faster than the others, way better tech, less noise from the road... only downside is its price. I'm a big fan of the MX-5 and it will probably be more exciting to drive at lower speeds but if money was a factor to be ignored (as it is in the conclusions of the video) anybody would go for the TT.
The Fiat & Mazda are real sportscars, the Audi is a small comfortable GT with gadgets.
or actually just a rebadged golf chassis. If you want a sports car you take the mx5. The tt is nothing in comparison for driver involvement
yikes
Beats me................ Seems from your owns comments you have the " Brilliant handling" and "Sharp syling and desirable " round the wrong way on the Mazda and Audi. Also why oh why do presenters want to spend time on the boot capacity of Small 2 setter sports cars??? Getting back to your decision and remarks...again the Mazda and Audi....Mazda = "Fun" and the Audi "Fund and comfortable" . Seems to me, not a high paid knowledgeable presents fun and comfort beats fun...........whayever that is in a car..........Try driving a 3 wheeler or a CV£ and you will have Fun. Then there is the performance, quality, reliability and residuals....... so you think the Mazda which admittedly looks great outperforms in terms of value for money.
The design of the new MX-5 (ND) is just hprrendous....bouahaha....Yeurk!
Why would you compare a mx5 to a TT ?. not a comparison completely different cars, prices and driver attitude
Any proper normal manly bloke is going to feel a proper twerp in any of these whimsical silly things.
W Trolleybus no, just insecure little boys like you.
worst review !!!
Hair dresser cars being reviewed by step english step moms amazing 😅
Love VBH she is great and has real passion for her job but the millennial girl was so annoying her voice is as bad as that Rebekah Jackson’s the mother didn’t do much so can’t like or dislike.
Mr Ortega: another "sing song" millennial. The voice really grates.
Fiat nominated the gayest sport car money can buy , just saying .lol
What a load of rubbish. In the real world people would prefer the Audi
I want the Mazda but the RF Version.
Huh? Because buying small sports car is all about having a boring understeering and heavy FWD driving experience?
True, you have truly woken me up from my delusion 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
Chatta290 I'd take the BRZ
Alastair Morton yeah but apart from the driving experience we all know the Audi is better especially for residual value and quality.
You can't go wrong with any of these cars tbh , y'all need to stop .
How Sexist of Auto Trader having only female reviewers. You have 3 cars here and 3 females driving them. This is pushing sex equality to stupid limits. As 95% of motor magazines are bought by men, I am sure the vast majority of your viewers are male also. While Vicki has many years in the business and a professional background in the motor industry, the other 2 do not, especially the last one, her voice is also so weak & pathetic.
Of course you should have female reviewers, but not 3 out of 3. I see this as some limp, sexist statement which is not justifiable nor acceptable, if you were reviewing lipstick, then it would be okay, but Cars - NO. Sex equality works both ways, but in a totally male dominated industry using all females is a poor choice and shows your lack of understanding your audience and Sex Equality. I am now fed-up with Auto Trader pushing forward unsuitable, uninteresting female reviewers who are very, boring and poor at their job, so now I am unsubscribing.
I think you've got this wrong. For the record I also didn't enjoy this review/advertisement but it wasn't due to their gender.
grow up
He’s kidding! 😂
you grils should stay home doing what u do best cleaning it you dont know what you all talking about audi TT is miles better than any of the other 2 cars
Lets hope the digital dash in the AUDI TT DOES NOT FAIL. Like what happened to my old audi TT. COST A SMALL FORTUNE TO RECTIFY! 💩 🚽 . Then the WHOLE ELECTRICS FAILED. Car was a right off, 💩 do NOT BUY TT ever !
