Most fun to drive
"Fun to drive" is a subjective measure—an elusive quality that can mean different things to different people. From our experience,
a car can have a very powerful engine and accelerate quickly, but without handling agility, it’s not much fun. For us, fun
is a combination of factors such as handling response, sound, and the nature of the power delivery that lead to grin-inducing
satisfaction. Here are the top fun-to-drive models that we’ve recently tested in order of ranking:
- Porsche 911 Carrera S
- Porsche Boxster
- Honda S2000
- Mazda MX-5 Miata
- Chevrolet Corvette Z06
- Mercedes-Benz SLK350
- Infiniti G35
- Mazda RX-8
- Volkswagen GTI
- BMW 328i
- MazdaSpeed3
- Subaru Legacy GT
- Mini Cooper S
