LOVE CARS? YOU’LL LOVE DRIVEN BY LEE

The 2026 Volkswagen Golf R might just be the ultimate everyday performance car. In this video I take a proper look at the latest Volkswagen Golf R, with 330bhp, AWD grip, sharp styling, huge pace, and the practicality that makes the Golf R such a legend in the hot hatch world.

Is this the best all-round hot hatch you can buy in 2026? And is it worth the money over the GTI, rivals, or even used performance cars?

I take you through:
🔥 Exterior styling & first impressions
🔥 Interior tech, comfort & quality
🔥 Performance, acceleration & handling
🔥 Exhaust sound & driving feel
🔥 Everyday practicality
🔥 My honest verdict

The Golf R has always been the sensible supercar alternative… but has Volkswagen perfected it this time?

Let me know in the comments — would you choose the new Golf R, a GTI, or something else?

2026 Golf R – Here’s the Truth

Getting there guys.! #drivenbylee #garage #workshop #automobile

😱Can you believe the price of this #bmw #drivenbylee #sportscar #car

Looking for a proper sports car without spending a fortune? This might be one of the biggest bargains I’ve ever reviewed…

Today I’m behind the wheel of a 2016 BMW Z4 2.0 — and for around £14k, it seriously surprised me.

Rear-wheel drive, great looks, solid performance… but is it actually worth your money in 2026?

In this video I cover:
• Performance & driving feel
• Interior & comfort
• Real-world ownership
• The good… and the bad
• Whether I’d actually buy one

This car was kindly provided by a local dealer for review — and I give you my honest, no-BS opinion as always.

£14k BMW Z4… What’s The Catch?

In today’s video I get behind the wheel of the Mercedes SLC diesel — a car that looks like a proper sports car… but runs on diesel.

So the big question is…
👉 is this actually a sports car, or just pretending to be one?

We’re talking:

Performance & real-world driving
Handling & feel
Is diesel actually better for daily use?
And whether this makes ANY sense at all…

Because on paper, this shouldn’t work.
But in reality… it might just surprise you.

🚗 Car featured:

Mercedes-Benz SLC (diesel)

Do you think a diesel can ever be a real sports car… or is this completely wrong?

⚡ ID.3 SHOCK… This Changes Everything

In today’s video, I get behind the wheel of the Volkswagen ID.3 and honestly… I wasn’t expecting THIS.

This isn’t your typical EV review. I take the ID.3 out on real UK roads to see what it’s actually like to live with day-to-day performance, comfort, range, and whether it's actually any fun!

With the updated 52kWh battery and power upgrade to 170PS (168bhp), is this finally the electric car that people will switch to?

Or is it still missing something…?

🚗 Key Stats (VW ID.3 Pure Match 52kWh):
• 170PS (168bhp)
• 0–60mph: ~7.6 seconds
• Top Speed: 99mph
• Battery: 52kWh
• Real World Range: ~200–250 miles
• Charging: CCS rapid charging supported

👀 In this video:
• First impressions & design
• Driving experience (is it actually fun?)
• Real-world usability
• Charging explained (no nonsense)
• The BIG surprise…

🔥 My honest verdict:
This might just be one of the biggest shocks I’ve had on the channel…

VW ID.3- I Wasn’t Expecting This!

In today’s video, I’m spec’ing my Golf GTI Edition 50 and trying to build what could be the ultimate daily hot hatch.

This isn’t just any GTI… this is the most powerful GTI ever made, built to celebrate 50 years of the iconic badge. From colours and wheels to performance options and interior details, I go through every choice and build my perfect spec from scratch.

But the big question is…
👉 Did I get it right?
