LOVE CARS? YOU’LL LOVE DRIVEN BY LEE

Owning a Porsche GT3 is an incredible experience, but like any modern performance car, there are a few ownership quirks that don’t always get talked about.

In this video, I share what happened when my 992 GT3 unexpectedly wouldn’t start, walk through the battery issue I experienced, and explain what I learned along the way. This isn’t about criticism it’s about real-world ownership and hopefully helping other Porsche owners avoid the same situation.

I talk through what caused the issue, how it was resolved, and what I’ll be doing differently going forward to keep everything running smoothly. If you own a GT3, are thinking about buying one, or just enjoy seeing the realities of high-performance car ownership, this one’s for you.

As always, I absolutely love this car this is simply part of the learning curve of living with a modern GT Porsche.

Is this really the best GTI Volkswagen has ever made?

In this video, I take a proper look at the 2026 VW Golf GTI to find out whether VW has finally nailed it.
From the design and road presence to how it feels on real UK roads, this is an honest, no-nonsense review no hype, no fanboy nonsense.

The GTI badge means a lot to enthusiasts, so the big question is simple:
Is this the best GTI ever… or just another step in the evolution?

2026 Golf GTI: Faster, Smarter… But Is It Better?

2026 is going to be a massive year for the channel.

In this video, I break down everything that’s coming to Driven By Lee this year, including moving into my new Snetterton-based building, where we’ll be taking on project builds, hands-on work, and proper behind-the-scenes content as things develop.

There’ll be loads of videos on my own cars, trucks, and bikes, covering real ownership, upgrades, running costs, and honest opinions not just quick walkarounds.

I’ll also be taking the channel further afield with big European road trips, using the cars the way they’re meant to be used and sharing the full experience along the way.

Alongside that, we’ll be continuing with real-world car reviews, borrowing and reviewing vehicles properly, and showing what they’re actually like to live with.

I also talk about my long-time hobby of building and collecting Tamiya RC cars because this channel isn’t just about high-end machinery, it’s about the passion for building, engineering, and enjoying vehicles at every level.

If you enjoy honest automotive content, project builds, road trips, reviews, and seeing a channel genuinely grow, this year is going to be for you.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported the channel so far this is only the beginning.

What’s a car really like when you live with it properly?

In this video, I take the new 2025 Škoda Kodiaq on a 2,000-mile family road trip to the Alps, using it exactly as it’s meant to be used loaded up with people, luggage, and ski gear, driving through multiple countries and facing real winter conditions.

This isn’t a short press-loan or a quick spin around the block. This is a real-world family test, covering long motorway miles, mountain roads, cold starts, snow, comfort over distance, practicality, tech, economy, and how it copes when it actually matters.

If you’re considering a Kodiaq as a family car, a road-trip machine, or an all-weather SUV, this video will give you a far more honest picture than a typical first-drive review.

🚗 What I Cover in This Review

Long-distance comfort for adults & kids

Real motorway refinement & noise levels

Space, practicality & boot usability

Fuel economy over 2,000 miles

Winter driving & Alpine conditions

Tech, infotainment & driver aids

What it’s like to live with day-to-day

The good, the bad, and what surprised me

❄️ Is the New Škoda Kodiaq a Proper Family Road-Trip Car?

This trip genuinely pushed the car harder than most reviews ever will — and the results might surprise you.

2,000 Miles to the Alps in a Škoda Kodiaq – Proper Review

My Lotus is back and even though it wasn’t gone for long, it was still great to have it back home.

In this video, I collect my Lotus and bring it back on the trailer after some work was carried out. I didn’t drive it this time, but just seeing it again, loaded up and ready to come home, was still a really good feeling. Stratton Motor Company who had the car were spot on from start to finish and looked after it exactly as they should along with Steve from 1st Class Windscreens

I talk through what the Lotus went in for, how the whole process went, and why it’s always reassuring when a car comes back exactly as you expect it to. No drama, no issues — just a straightforward, positive experience and another step in the ownership journey.

If you enjoy real-world car ownership, honest updates, and following along with my cars behind the scenes, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

As always, thanks for watching and for the continued support — it genuinely means a lot.
