And finally- Autocar picking the top 10 cars that they like the best- ie that are FUN, or in their words- “They are not the greatest driver’s cars, nor the ones that most exceed expectations, or come from that curious confection where cars appear to be without reason somehow greater than the sum of their constituent parts. There’s only one superlative that applies to this group: they’re simply the cars we like best".
And they rated them:
1. Alpine A110
2. McLaren 600LT
3. Ford Fiesta ST
4. Porsche 911
5. BMW 320D

The way this car pacman on the front grabs the corner with the Quaif LSD up front, and pulls the front and drags the rear around like oversteer, and you feel like a pivot point between the pacman front and lively rear- just amazing- first time I punched it early in a corner I started laughing hysterically- such a fun car.
