    This tbh: people who hate driving are usually people who live in a city. It is objectively the worst way to get around a city, but in more rural areas it can be a lot of fun to drive around, depending on how windy the roads are or how fast your car is and how many cops are around 😅

      Once you stop driving cities should be great because so much stuff is in walking distance or has transit to get you close

      As someone who went through the experience of owning a pretty nice fast car, I’d say having a slower car that you drive fast is much more fun, in my Kia Stinger I could go 160km/h and feel nothing but dread about what if I hit someone

        I agree driving a slow car fast is was more fun than driving a fast car slow!

        I went through 3 Subaru WRXs before I switched to the Miata. The only one of them I miss now is the rally built one I had because rally driving is objectively the most fun type of driving.

        But throwing my Miata around a corner harder than a McLaren in autocross is pretty damn close too haha

        Yeah true, I was more meaning if you live somewhere that only has straight roads, a quick car(not necessarily fast: I said fast but I meant quick 😅) can be fun in that case.

          On a windy road it’s most important that the car is light weight than anything else for it to be fun.

          So sub-compacts from the 90s are generally best in that regard.

        You don’t experience speed, but acceleration. That’s why it way more fun to take bends fast but straight lines feels like nothing.
