    BMW yes - provided we're talking M-Cars
    The rest, not so much (though you could probably buy me with a Cayman GT4).
    Basically: spoken like someone who never owned an Italian car with some flair. :p

    Generally, German cars bore me to tears. They're great at what they do, but there is MUCH more to life than speed (as Top Gear once said: "designed by people with a large collection of very fine pencils"). Playfulness is something Germans can't do.

    This is why I love driving my little Mk1 Yaris T Sport. It might only have 105 bhp but going fast in a "slow car" is so much more fun than going fast in something that you expect to be quick.

    100% on point. Which is why my 86 is soooo much fun. Yes, it has Yaris tyres, yes, it doesn't feel fast in straight lines (hell - it isn't), but getting that thing through a corner fast is exhilarating.
