    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

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

      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.
