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?

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

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.

Dear Sifus,

Need your advice on the matter above. Recently when I shift the mmt gearbox to D the light was ok then a few seconds later the D light is blinking. What is the reason? After that I pull over at the road shoulder and engagse to N but the D light is still blinking.

Also, when I try to engage the E and S mode the selector indicator is not shown at the panel cluster.

I never experience this before.Please help... :banghead:
