Caterham 7 Review

Running Costs5 out of 5

Even with its barn door aerodynamics, the little Caterham has some of the lowest running costs of any sportscar. Officially, the Roadsport 175 averages around 37mpg - an optimistic figure that would see you squeeze 300 miles out of the tiny 36 litre fuel tank. We expect most owners would be happy to see 200.

Insurance is pricey, with the Roadsport 175 falling into group 20.
