[2.0turbo]

It is very popular among car enthusiast to say that contis are more fun to drive. However, what determines a vehicle to be fun to drive. Is it the engine, chassis, suspension, steering or what?

Kindly discuss..........

What type of fun IS fun to you? Drifting, dragging, sprinting, highway driving...
For me, drift. Tyre smoke is nice. And suspension tuning made the car make Gs, HARD.

The only thing that makes a car fun to drive is the driver/owner of the car.

Balance. Balance is key.

Yaya, I'm with you bro...
For me, balance is important means that a car should equal in all the mods...
And at the same time, comfort, handling, power, outlook should be in place...

my personal preference of a fun car.
1. sensitive and straight forward steering respond
2. linear, sensitive and quick throttle respond
3. handles like a go kart (point and shoot type handling)
4. Power wise around 200~350WHP is good enough
5. Light weight body
6. No driver's aid (except PS)

Similar criteria like mine but it doesn't have to be super light weight like Lotus Elise or Ariel Atom though, as long as not too heavy (maybe not more than 1.5 ton curb weight) and have enough power to carry the weight and can still handle well (more neutral instead of understeering).

Agreed.

A Type R fits that description to a tee for me.

got to have the G force feel for @ least 3 of the gears, half meter revving for last digit on the speedometer & top notch handling.hmm do i make any sense here heheh

Handling and the feeling of the G force during acceleration. Exhaust sound matters too.

Great Throttle Responds, Able to tackle Corners almost perfectly, steady and stable at high speeds, sweet exhaust sound (not too loud), Power is just a pedal away at anytime when we need the extra push.

The car in your sig is a perfect example for me.
