what the best car you have driven then?

mine had to be the new focus st. i love how it looks, the noise it makes than want you to keep pushing it. the power delivery is phenomenally smooth. the ride is nice not too hard not too soft. chassis is good, not as direct and the old shape focus but still taught. comfy seats, gear change is ok, brakes are good.

what! :mrcool: .. its a company car... they're faster than the normal ones... and in all fairness, the chassis is well sorted, light on the back so you can knock it sideways quite easily :teehee:

205 1.9 Gti, went like the wind and the handling was amazing. It was my cousins and his mum and dad made him sell it for a nova sri, fearing he may kill himself. The nova although fun just wasn't in the same league.

Best car i have driven is either my old Volvo 850 T5 after i had the boost tweaked, (aprox 260bhp) It was an auto (bear with me) but i found if you use the different settings on the 'box, you can see 90mph in 2nd gear.

Also, my Accord Type R is awesome, everthing is so well thought out. The driving position is just about perfect, steering is very nicely weighted, throttle response is awesome, gearchange is precise and it handles fantastic. Also, VTEC is so addictive, 8k gearchanges rock!

Got to be the audi rs6 estate with 19" on, so smooth and handled brilliantly, also the audi Q7 4.2 petrol is supprising for a big motor as are the new supercharged range rovers!
