I had an ‘05 Lotus Elise. That car was a blast. Getting another one was on my short list when I was looking at the 911. I couldn’t have road tripped the Lotus with my family though. I could put luggage in the trunk or the kid in the trunk (if folded correctly) but not both. That’s a lie. I couldn’t fit either.
Sorry for the bad pic. And those aren’t my kids. Those are my cousins. They’re now older than I was in that pic.
This. My daughter has a Mini Cooper S. What a hoot. That car feels like it is moving so fast and like a little go kart. Only downside to that car is the maintenance. It’s been an expensive little car for dealer visits out of warranty. I told her the next 4 digit service is not going to be worth it and she needs to trade it in for something else.
Hmmm, that I own
Probably the 458.
I always have fun at any speed with that car.
My 991.2 can be also fun, specially in a wet and cold day with sport tires...maybe too fun
That I have driven...hmmm I don't drive manuals so my pool is somewhat limited, perhaps the old black series amg sls. That car was stupid but fun

Yeah they are notorious for being unreliable. How many times have you changed the crank seal? Power steering pump? Chain tensioner? I really wanted one of these but I don't want to deal with the problems

All of that has been done and then some. I can’t even count the amount of $1500+ visits that thing has had. It has far surpassed the actual value of the car I will say that. Oil change is a pain in the butt having to remove the fluid reservoir as well. They built a fun car but it is not reliable in the slightest way.
It may not sound credible, but the funniest car I've ever driven is the first one, my grandpa 1st gen Fiat Panda 45.., where 45 is a hint of the power. The clutch was burnt and it worked almost like an automatic: floor the accelerator, leave the clutch abruptly and go! Over 50 km/h a lot of vibes shaking everything down to the bones. Over 60 km/h and back to the future. Brakes not available, just floor the pedal. Too scary to try it on the highway.
It's heavy, ponderous, noisy, slow, creaky, inefficient and wanders all over the road like a drunken fratboy, but my Wrangler Rubicon doors & top off is my favorite car I have ever driven bar none. (Well, not a car, but still.)
