Depends what you mean by best, should think to most people the best car I have driven is Porkies F430 Spyder, and its certainly a hell of a machine, but TBH I have more of a laugh in my nova than anything else Ive ever drive so far, so its that for me, or my old trackday mini, miss that car so much

YUM (daves old escort at 700bhp) is certainly up there too though.

WHAT I MEAN BY BEST IS BEST HANDLING/PERFORMANCE/THE MOST FUN

Chip

The most fun car is rarely the most performance or best handling IME

Most fun Ive had on track in the last couple of years in a car was in my williams powered clio at bedford desperately trying to fight off porkie in a very similar (at the time, his is now much better) clio when he knows the track a lot better than me and is a better driver.
I think that being out on track with a mate in a well matched car is the most fun you can have, and it doesnt really matter greatly what the car is.

Most fun for me just in terms of the lunacy of driving it at all and the way I can throw it around is my nova, but the handling isnt good and the performance is ok but not the quickest thing I have driven.

The most fun car I've owned was my Mk2 XR2. The nicest (not necessarily the best and certainly not the fastest) I've driven was a Maserati GranCabrio.

The best car i have driven for fun is certainly my dads old mk2 escort race car...was ALOT of fun !!!

but best all round car is my uncles 360 spyder

danneth

For fun i loved the 205GTI

All round car, i actually loved rsmat's mk2 FRS

MadMac

R8 V10, without a doubt, easiest car to drive, and actually, I felt as if it wanted me to drive it faster! So planted round the corners it was unreal and the engine, not only sounded amazing, it just pulled as pulled and pulled no matter what the rev range was.

I has droved a coswurf.

Probably a mix up between my old 944 Turbo and my MK! MR2, the mk1 had the 3sgte lump in and was a quick little car, had 280bhp and everything else uprated to go with it and in the dry it just gripped, bit more respect needed in the wet but awesome wee car from a drivers point of view

mate had a westfield with a QED built XE, that was just an all out mental track car though.

p17fld

Had a lot of fun in my old Elise, was bum twitching in the wet. Not bad round corners either

rs clint

Best road car is an e60 m5 that's why I'm looking to buy one.

Best track car is my Leon track car best fun ever.

GVK.

Drove this 996 GT3 clubsport in Germany a few years ago, awesome car.



Swedish car + reg 'gt3'

havent passed my test yet

but..

The nicest car ive been in is my grandads conti gt. Has the nicest interior, and in my standards pulls/turns/stops like an absolute wrong'n

Best for shits and giggles is my dads 24v cossie mk3 capri thats still with the 2.8i badges on it, or my mates 1981 chevy c-10 because of the ability of it to lay rubber, and the noise it makes. Theres vids of it on youtube

Fastest (not road legal) ive been in is a 2-seater race car round brands hatch. i was 11 at the time but ive never been so terrified in my life
I remember them saying it had a 1.8 audi engine in it, but we were lapping porsche turbo's

Porkies 996 turbo at Bedford, scariest was a mates twin turbo Lotus Esprit

The best peforming car was my old mans old group a escos on 2.5 bar boost, I can honestly say the performance from 30-130 was scary fast. Just lit up all fournhot slicks without thinking about it, i think circa 740bhp at that boost!

Most fun car was my old mans latest toy, e39 m5.

Shit tyres, and awesome suspension and brakes makes for so much smiling, had it drifting at near 90/100mph (wasn't looking too much) through fourth gear I havnt giggled so much on track ever!

LHD220Turbo

sheer fun was my old saff, only stage 3 (370'ish) but a very quick road car.

my old lexus gs300 sport was great for luxury/long distances, 3 hour journeys felt like 20 minutes when you got out

Cossie Sean

Ferrari 458 Italia.

Perfect balance of driver aids and pure mechanics. A real event to drive and lots of fun without being afraid of it. Can be enjoyed by an average driver almost as much as someone who is able to wring it's neck.

Mk2 FRS..

Porkie

Agree. Equal cars are FUN

Had lots of fun with Sean this year at the Ring and lots of other tracks in our Identical Exiges.

pee vee

have you chased pollyx round anywhere, Porkie? I imagine that could get out of hand quite quickly lol

wattie

Most fun car I've drove was my dads ac cobra replica, had a hi comp big cammed 327 ci chevy engine and a 4 speed box, was an absolute animal to drive fast, any gear and rev put your foot down and it was off! Had around 440 bhp and weighed very little, exhausts side pipes about 2 foot away from your
head so on over run it popped and banged and shot flames, for sheer excitement while driving that's the one car I will never forget, also had a shot of a 600 brake skyline track car, best handling and brakes I've ever known but ac cobra all day long !!

howie1989

For me its got be between my mini and my capri they both produced smiles and just sheer fun to drive at any speed :-D u don't always have to speed to have fun you know XD

nah being in a lesser car and being quicker than better cars

fluxysaph

F355 track day at Thruxton. My saph on the road is fun, when she's running!

Java=Blue

Most fun iv ever had in a car is an AX GT, wernt exactly pretty or ferrari quick but they sure did move well with the back seats, spare wheel and uneccessaries removed.

my mums mini mayfair is pretty nippy too its like a well trimmed go kart

Fastest car iv driven would be a 2.0 escort gti,,,,

Tappage

me today, was a 2003 audi S4 avant with the 4.2 V8 growling away nicely.

JonnyBravo

Best circuit car I've driven is probably a Ariel Atom, superb package but you are kicking most people's arses so I do know where chip is coming from about lesser cars being more fun. I had a great time driving my nova, always surprised people although it wasn't especially quick off gas.

Road car wise although I'm not the biggest merc fan the sl55 AMG or S63 AMG ( I think thats what their called ) were staggeringly fast and comfortable, running costs are far beyond what I can afford for a road car though

I recently test drove an Audi s5 same v8 engine and it was one of the most disappointing cars I have ever drove.

NoRubNoDub

best car i have driven F430, best car ive sat in celica gt-4 wrc with multiple Irish tarmac champion Eugene Donnelly.

collierm

My old MK2 Golf 8V Gti. Not the quickest, but was so eager and I just loved chucking it about. Abused the hell out of it and it never let me down. Was genuinely gutted to have sold it in a way I've not felt since.
