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..........:idea::idea::idea:

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

Balance. Balance is key.

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.

One of those free saturdays without appointment. So decided to conduct a mini experiment.

2 abrasive type polish (Optimum Hyper Polish and Meguiars M205) and 1 chemical based watermark remover (Osren Stain X - professional range) were used. Let the pictures talk.


Common for all cars. The rear windscreen is rich in watermarks. This one has plenty distributed out evenly.
