Subaru WRX
What determines how fun a car is to drive?
The amount of fun you have while driving it
.
Obviously, the top two measures are back seat space and shaking absorption by suspension
Coolest tie between my dads partners at his firm and him. Shelby Cobra, a F40 Ferrari, or my dads 88 M6.
Funnest, I had a 2500 92 Suburban on 42s with a 6 inch lift, I also had a Typhoon in HS which was just dangerous. Both were way better than my 99 M3. Both I crashed haha.
Agree, although I've never driven anything close to an f40. The most fun I've ever had driving was a (budget) pre-runner through Johnson Valley.
Anything that you can drive stress-free is far better than the anxiety that comes with owning a Ferrari.

I’m a firm believer that it is more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow. The most fun I have had in cars were beating the shit out of old Toyotas and Miatas in parking lots or on back roads. There’s something religious about a teenage kid ripping a 90s shit box with a manual transmission without care.
lol yeah right on - pushing sh!tboxes to the limit in HS was the dream. My friend and I used to go full speed over this jump in a Chevy Corsica - was a blast. Also, when it rained we would blast the e brake in parking lots doing doughnuts. And some people would put lunch trays on the back wheels and just fish tail everywhere in a parking lot. Ahhhh those were the days.
We had lifted train tracks near us that people would just take their 4runners and jeeps off of, and one day, this kid took his S4 off it. Totalled it but it was amazing, the Sh*tboxes made it and the Audi didn't. I get it clearance and all, but it was so funny.
Tend to agree. I have a foxbody and I drove a manual Mazda3 in college. Absolutely loved ripping through the canyons in the Mazda, fully revving out 2nd gear exiting a corner and shifting to 3rd. Super fun maintaining some momentum even if it only had like 150-200 hp in that I4. Having three pedals made that car.
Rolls Royce Ghost, super quiet, feels like you’re driving a boat on the road. Truly luxurious
Cars that handle like boats is generally not a good thing. It means shitty steering, shitty suspension, shitty tires.
Yeah I’m sure the Rolls Royce was shitty lol, just cause it’s not a purist drivers car wouldn’t make it super fun and super cool to drive.
86 SL500 with a full restomod swap with a LT4.
AMG GTS. I just love the sensation of front engine RWD cars. I've driven a 911 Turbo S and Audi R8 as well, but the Porsche felt too robotic and the R8 just seemed a little boring. I never get tired of my GTS (until I hit a pothole)
For bonus points, the Mini Cooper S is a blast to drive as well
Hate to say it, but I really enjoyed a rental E53 Coupe more than most anything else.
My F80 M3 competition 6MT easily. I'm not one to spend hundreds to thousands of dollars driving someone else's car that's nicer than mine, and I don't come from a place where I can drive my friend's dad's Huracan.
Up next for me is probably a 570s, though the depreciation on the MC20 is making those intriguing as well. I know I'll never move past mid-level supercars (F8, or similar), but honestly I'm already way ahead of where I'd ever thought I would be and I'm ok with that.
F80 M3 6spd is a great car. I regret selling mine.
When do you think you will get 570s? How much are those going for
Probably in 2-3 years. I am an AS1 now and want more savings under my belt before making a purchase like that. They go for about $140k. But the plan wouldn't be to keep it forever; I would probably resell it in another couple years and retain most of the value that way, otherwise I feel like it's definitely more of a stretch financially.
MC20 is an extremely underrated car. I drove one about six months ago, steering feels incredible and acceleration kind of feels similar to McLarens.
Late to thread, but great choice. I got to drive a 6MT F80 M3 recently and also loved it. Coworker has a G80 M3 and it absolutely cranks - by far better power and handling than the F80, but the F8X lineup is still miles ahead of the G8X's lineup in styling. I daily a 6MT F87 M2C and it's a joy to drive as well!
Mercedes Maybach, Ferrari 458 Speciale (as a passenger), G Wagon in Africa with no speed limits. Looking back i could've easily died in that G Wagon I wince anytime I think of it.
My buddies dad had a kit car Cobra I think that was insane to drive. Incredibly manual and pretty fast. Got out of it tired and sweaty but it was super cool to drive.
Ferrari 488 Spider and a Dodge Challenger SRT Demon
I do a lot of my networking through cars and know a lot of cool people through my passion for supercars. Here’s a list of some of my favorites I’ve driven.
991.2 GT3 Akrpovik exhaust and headers
992.1 GT3RS Straight piped
McLaren 600LT Stock
Lamborghini Huracan Evo Spyder Ryft Exhaust
991.2 Turbo S Stock
Love talking about cars feel free to reply or PM with questions!
991 and 997 are the sweet spot I reckon, idk if they will ever make something better than those ones especially as regulation gets heavier
Ive never driven a Turbo S but the 992 Turbo S was far and away the wildest car Ive ever been in. I have limited experiences in cars of that tier but what I have tried out (e.g., V10 R8) simply didnt compare in the slightest. It was leagues wilder than even some of the other "nicer" 992 911s (e.g., C4S).
Curious how you get such excellent opportunities to experience such unique and rare cars?
Female monkey here, the Porsche Carrera. I know it sounds overhyped but it's so much fun to drive. There's a closed course in winter run by Porsche and it's awesome.
Could you +SB this? I want to post a local office question but can't. Thanks.
+SB cheers
Thank you!
Thanks for clarifying you were a woman.
911 GT3RS or McLaren 720s
I drove the McLaren on a track once, absolute beast of a car.
Honda S2000.
I've owned a BMW M3, driven Porsche Caymans, driven lifted trucks, etc., but found the S2000 to be the most fun by far. Incredibly nimble, impractical but entertaining need to stay above 6k RPM's for performance, tail happy, and very small.
+1 to the S2000. Especially the models from before 2004 when you could run the RPMs to 8,900. Brilliant fun to play with that kind of power band.
2005 Lotus Elise
Agreed. Drives like a street legal go kart. Skidpad is off the charts - turns on a dime.
Shelby GT500 turbo charged with a bunch of extra custom work for a metalhead I was friends with in high school. Nothing compares to the sound an American muscle car makes. I've driven Ferraris, Lambos, Astons, and while they might be "better" none of them came close in terms of fun.
Amazing
I have a gt4rs and it is quite fun
Rockstar
Stopped enjoying most anything since I started working lol. Used to love driving, always drove my sister’s F82 M4 competition at the end of high school and early in college with my friends through the hills.
The M4 is sick
My 991.1 GT3 and the 675LT are the best cars I've driven. The 675LT really impressed me - it is extremely raw and the steering is second to none. I am not typically a fan of turbo cars, but the 675LT is an exception and I've toyed with the idea of picking one up as they have depreciated considerably. The GT3 is like a go-kart for the road. Much less power than the 675LT, but mine is straight piped and sounds like a F1 car. The main gripe with the GT3 is it needs to be pushed hard to have fun in; all the power and drama is at 9K and the car is boring below triple digit speeds. I still far prefer the GT3 to a Huracan, although a Huracan is more fun just driving around town (more exciting at lower speeds).
My favorite car is still my old F-Type SVR. Opened my eyes to grand tourers. The exhaust noise was incredible, the car was very fast, and it is fun to drive hard and casually. I could drive it for hours and not be tired.
I have a GT4RS coming later this year which I am excited for.
Love my TLX Type S
991.2 GTS. I could feel the rear wheels in my seat. The handling made me feel like I could do just about anything with it.
Porsche 993. I just like that cars that are fast but not too fast with a good transmission.
Probably not the answer OP is asking, but most fun car, was the first one I bought with my own salary/savings. Es felt so much as achievement should feel. Irrespective of brand/HP/Speed/looks... (It was a second hand relatively crappy car).
1991 Camaro RS
Yeah the Corvette E-Ray is priced just below the 911. And this Corvette goes 0-60 faster than the fastest 911 (Turbo S). 2.5 seconds versus 2.6 seconds. The Corvette styling has gone to the extreme and I think it’s pretty cool.
1989 Porsche 911. The last of the classic 911 and with the desirable G50 transmission. Not fast by modern standards, but it doesn't need to be. It's a blast and a nostalgic experience.
Username checks out
There is no substitute for a 911. They are just divine. Except maybe the 992 range.
Exactly what I was going to write. Learned how drive stick in my dad's 89 Carrera. Amazing car.
Lamborghini tractor
Rented a GT3 RS for a track day. The pdk was fire and it’s the most fun car I’ve ever driven.
FBO F80 M3 or ‘99 5-speed MX5
Porsche 718 Spyder...as great as 911s are, I don't know if they're in the same league in terms of driving enjoyment (then again, I've never driven any of the hardcore GT3/GT2 911s)
Your mum's fanny
Try and say that to my face you POS and we’ll see what happens.
I would but my face is currently burried in your mum's snatch
Honda S2000, Porsche 997 4S.
My friend was drinking a beer when in the front seat of their Tesla
2024 Lotus Emira First Edition. Ultimate drivers car at value right now. Last of a dying breed. True romance.
Agree 100%. Heard it is one of the most fun to drive cars out there. And also the fact that Lotus made a nice interior in it.
On both sides of the spectrum, I’m a sucker for oldies and had the most fun ever in a 1980s 450SL cab
That said I got the chance to take a porsche 918 spyder for a spin and that was nuts
I've heard you tell this story in real life and didn't have the heart to tell you then that the 918 Spyder is potentially the least respected Porsche in history and known in racing circles as a "Nazi sled" and that you sound dumb when you mention this among real drivers.
I kind of got over cars that are too loud or too fast. Think in terms of supercars it's all about the emotion - 458 spyder is probably among the best of all time. Timeless design, fast but not dangerous if you know what you're doing, sounds angelic
I’ve driven Ferraris, Porches, and a few other high end cars - for me the most fun was the Mercedes S class.
Don’t remember the year or exact model - but that S class was like driving on clouds, turned on a dime, and had great acceleration. The best of all worlds of luxuriousness + performance.
Yeah def - I have been the passenger in an S500 - that sh!t just glides
Maroon Dodge Charger
Drove a Carrera S and a Turbo on track. The Turbo is faster, sure, but the Carrera S was incredible. I turned down an extra session in the Turbo just to drive it more.
Tried a Cayman as well, was also fun but a bit sketchier for me.
If you enjoy the fun of fear, a crappy old Chevy worktruck can also be 'fun.' Didn't drive straight, shuddered in the wind, and you could feel the NVH throughout your whole body, but definitely an experience.
