    The i8 is kind of surprising, but chris harris loved it when he drove it.

    You didn't POST it for that reason, but you FOUND it while searching for new ST material to stroke to.

    You'd be surprised on how each model in the 911 range drives differently. A GT3 in the same comparo would finish very differently than say a turbo then say a C2S

    Now, your particular favorite sports car probably isn't in this test. Why not? First of all, we limit each year's BDC to performance machines that are either new or significantly updated for 2014. The cars also have to be available, either currently on sale or in a manufacturer's fleet. That's why there's no 2015 Mustang, Corvette Z06, Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, or Porsche GT3.

    I just dont think you can quantify "best drivers car" because everybody's idea of best drivers car is different...

    Out of that list the Fiesta or STi would probably win for me.

    Thoughtless computers, can you elaborate?
    "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age."

    Randy Pobst, the track driver/reviewer for MT has horrible tastes in cars and seems to like cars that are good but not great. The Camaro is a fine car but the best drivers car in the world? Forget that, no visibility, poor ergonomics, steering feel and build quality. The i8 is a technological marvel but not a drivers car, the Alfa romeo is no where to be found in the market place. Just a complete mess of a review lol.
    Looking for a new VW? How about a used vehicle? We are Central Albertas #1 source for pre-owned vehicles
    I will beat any deal on a new VW for beyonders
