I drove a friends Honda S2000, and it was really good, very fast and with the roof down, it makes you feel like you have arrived!

I also drove a 5 litre black mustang, but it was as dull as ditch water....

99 Fiat Sciento Sporting, had a 1.1 engine so was really fast as its a small car, could beat any normal sized two litre at the lights any day. Also had the sporting bosy kit and a bonnet vent to keep beast cool so it looked the biz aswell.

Hehe, the best one has to be your first car. I bought it a week ago, for $700. Its a dodge dynasty, with a 3 litre v6. Goes like the wind, can beat any seicento off the line. Its only got 300k on it, and the steering is a bit ****ed, but everything else works. Engine has a bit of a rough idle, but still seems to have most of its horses intact. Flooring it at medium speed results in tire squeal, hilarious. Its not a terrible gas guzzler, its a mitsubishi built engine, with multi-point fuel injection. Gets 350 miles out of a tank that you can fill for $20:) Insurance is $460 for 6 months, all in all fairly bowled over. Only problem is that free parking takes about 10 - 20 minutes to find in San Francisco.... but I shouldn't complain

The funny thing about the 99 Fiat Sciento Sporting is that it's 54BHP and it's 735Kg weight makes it sound like a real performer on paper, i.e. a 0.73 horses per kilogram which is up there with sports cars! but the 0-60mph of 14 seconds tells me it's a dog.
solly!
were did it all go so wrong

Nicest car I ever drove was a powerful deep-wine coloured Chrysler Sebring Convertible (see here for info) on holidays in Maryland, USA in 2000. Drove it with the top down on a beautiful sunny day going up the beltway to Baltimore. She was a beaut'.

Nicest car I ever owned is the only car I ever owned - a metallic green Volkswagen Polo 1.4l 5-door (which can be seen here).

yeah, defo, the sebring is a nice jam jar, last time I was in LA I rented one for a week. Drove around with the roof down for 6 days, nearly burnt my head off!

Not the most perfect or expensive car ive driven but a '79(i think) Dodge charger was the scariest and brutal car, Lifting that monster clutch and flooring it left a very long line of melted rubber on completly dry road, the car crabed soooo badly trying to get its ass to swap places with the front while i was fighting to keep it straight, never have i ever been so intimidated by a car.

had a go in a few nice cars; M3 - insane power, not for Irish roads! Old Volvo T5s have some poke too.

Best car I drove has to be the Mercedes SL500.

Max speed (before wind and engine noise make you deaf) is around 70 but GREAT fun.

1. 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 - Very fast, love the engine noise.
2. 1992 Hona Civic VTi - The best car that I ever owned.
3. 2002 Alfa Romeo GTV - Really like it. (But its a Fiat, so it had to come third!)

Well I will have to stick up for my car and say the best car I have ever driven is my Ibiza Cupra 20VT.

In terms of looks its just a bit different to the standard mk3 Ibiza nothing major. Inside its got plenty of cow hide, Air Con, Climate Control, 4 air bags and all electric widows, mirrors, sunroof etc. In fact the only options for the car was a CD changer. Preformance is very good as standard and very easily improved on... and the look on BMW drivers faces when you go by is always worth a giggle .

A good bit of changes from standard have been carried out to improve the safety and preformance of the car. Oettinger remap, Miltek exhaust (its not a loud exhaust when driving normally), Forge DV, Brembo 4 pot brakes, H&R PCS Coilovers and wider wheels with spacers to give the car a wider track to settle down the tail end which can be a bit gittery at high speeds (on a track, not on public roads).

All in all its a great little car with plenty of poke and has held its own around Mondello against some much more expensive cars and has even passed one or two of them .
