Drove an E92 as well, albiet briefly, and I got the same feeling from that car. A Luxo-Barge that wasn't really designed for drivers, but had enough pedigree to fool people. The E30 I drove was nice though! It wasn't an M3, just a 325is, and it felt great. Far from stock though. I'm a bit of a hater though. I despise Audis as well, having beaten on many S4s, S5s, and even an R8 V10. They all just pretend to be sports cars but don't give you any of the enjoyment of driving. Genuinely disappointing. Plus the concept of "German Engineering" is a complete scam, as the Germans build their cars as lazily as the Americans, just fool people into thinking it's clever. But that's a topic for another day... God, I love to rant.

4 door E36 M3 or an E30 325 with a s54 swap (cuz e39 M3 is almost as expensive as a new twin)

@Ultramaroon Here's a clip that I mentioned earlier. So many mistakes, going into blind crest and blind corner too hot. Really forced myself to not panic brake or else things may have been more hairy. [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9LOWzr92PE"]Saved by traction control - YouTube[/ame] |

Don't take my word for it! Drive one yourself! I tell this to everyone and it holds true always: use other people's car advice simply as notes to reflect on. Drive the car yourself and feel everything through your own senses. Does Guff's experience hold true? If not, then perhaps the car he drove was was just crappy. If so, then perhaps there is something to what he was saying. But above all, your own visceral experience is the only litmus test for how "good" a car is. Because even that same "tinny" exhaust note that I dislike, might bring joy to the heart and soul of another. And if you enjoy a car, and it makes you happy, then it's a good car no matter what anyone says.

mrs humfrz and I are providing day care (before and after school) for our two granddaughters ..... which pins us down on the weekdays. The weekends are tough to figure because I don't much like driving around in the rain ....... sometimes I just don't feel up to listening to mrs humfrz "gasp", pound her foot in the floorboard and state "I just know I'm going to die in this car".......... And then there are my naps ....... mid morning and mid afternoon........ Besides, with my nameless muffler and K&N drop in air filter ....... I'm not sure you could keep up. Even if you could, you most likely would tire of looking at my turn signal, which I usually leave on. Then, when I do get on the road, I have to stop at every rest stop and overview pull out ...... because I can't remember being there. While stopped, might as well have a smoke, take a leak and rest my eyes for a few minutes. Yep, going around Mt Rainier can be a two day trip for us. humfrz |

But really, it's interesting coming in the way I have. Before I got the FR-S I was not a car person. In the last three years I've learned a considerable amount, though I can't say I'm much of an official car guy. So a lot of what I like is extremely personal preference, and I'm hard to influence. I don't like the E46 because everyone else does. I don't like it because it's considered the ultimate driver by some. I like it because of those stupid fender vents.
