The problem is the the enjoyment delivery from the car skews the results. Don't get me wrong, the car is downright brilliant given the right set of circumstances. I was playing around on the Lime Rock Car Control course this weekend and the little Scion that could was able to keep up with cars that by all rights should have left it in the dust, even when sliding around corners. I would absolutely buy it again in a heartbeat. If the car delivered like that day in and day out, I think the only thing you'd hear in this forum would be crickets. (Actual ones, not the fuel pump.
)
That said, the window of opportunity to put that kind of ear to ear grin on your face is generally so limited for a daily driver vs the amount of time you have to put up with little annoyances makes a mountain out of a mole hill.
If your little sister daily runs around pointing at you yelling 'I'm not touching you.' that one time you sock her is so satisfying... but it may be a while before you can do that again.
