What makes a car fun to drive?

[summin]

so your drivings that bad?!


sorry man.... you walked into that one

Hehehe, fair enough...

No forums before coffee in the morning, lesson learnt

Wasnt my bad driving as much as it was the car wanting to change lanes by itself

Anything about the car that requires driver input to make it do what you want.

ie, not much power so you have to really "drive" it to go fast
Old/ sus suspension may roll/pitch but that just makes cornering fun
Etc

But Mr2s have the engine at the front, when they snap oversteer.

P.S. What makes driving fun for me?

The car having actions that require the driver to react to.

Locking up a wheel, getting sideways, spinning a wheel, lifting a wheel, changing gear, using the clutch, turning the wheel, etc etc is all what the fun is.

If there was a car with a million units of power, a million units of grip and a million units of braking, it'd not be much fun to drive at 50 or 100kph.

Having a car that reaches its grip and adhesion limits at a fairly low speed can be a hell of a lot more fun than you'd first think.

grip... nothing like throwing a guless shit box through corners with your pasengers holding on for deair life and wimpering... oh and the ability to thrash the arse off of ut without warying.. but g forces are a win for me..
oh and has to be manuail. and its own little qurks
