I traded in one "ten best" car for another

Can't really go wrong with any on this list. (Maybe the Accord and Honda fit...bleh)

This is just the beginning of the fame to come...

THANK YOU C&D. My econocar Jetta, Civic, and FR-S all had nice easy controls. Our Porsche and BMW are convoluted as shit. I also loathe auto climate control.

It's nice owning two of the top 10.

Cool, I espeically liked the handling chart that compares a near 100k car with the BRZ.

The only thing that I wish they did was do what Honda did with the Integra and make the car more Type Raw; extra seam welds, less sound deadening, thinner glass, removal of the A/C, removal of the radio and speakers in favor of a cubby hole, and finally, engine tuned more aggressively. GT86 Type RC is about as close to an Integra Type R in Japan as it gets. I only wish they had it here.

Not a Honda fanboy by any means.

I like how half of the cars on the list are RWD, despite that there relative few RWD cars in the market.
