Caterham Super Seven (01 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 06 November 2008 Last Updated: 05 November 2009 The Caterham 7 has essentially been in production since 1957, and it still looks much the same as it did back then - although not one component remains of the original car. The concept is unchanged too - providing the purest driving experience and the most performance possible for the money. These days you can specify your 7 to suit your intended purposes, be that belting around race tracks or cruising leafy lanes, and you can even have it upscaled so that you'd fit in it properly. But although its advanced over the years, the Caterham is still not a car if you're looking for comfort and offers a back to basics approach. It is hugely involving to drive though and great fun on an open road. 3.5 out of 5 Other Caterham reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4 out of 5 Lotus Elise (00 on) Hugely involving to drive, great performance, affordable to buy and run, decent economy Few luxuries, getting in and out is difficult, baffling number of models over the years Read full review 4 out of 5 Vauxhall VX220 (00-05) Refined engines, looks, driving position, dynamics.
