When it comes to driving a car do you need to have lots of power to have fun?
I recall my early cars, a 1.3 Nova for example. That could be driven on the edge and it was fun. There wasn't much grip or power and it would slide around as you fought for control. It felt like an engaging drive.
Now in my A3 which has great handling and loads of grip I can't recall the last time I lost traction or got anywhere near the limits of grip.
It's probably running at 2-3 times the power of my Nova.
I still enjoy driving it but if I'm honest I think I had more fun in the early days with my Nova or perhaps it's just rose tinted spectacles.
