What are the essential ingredients for a fun car?

The car I feel that epitomizes what "fun" is in a car has only 4 traits out of the 11 described at in this post.
1) small & light.
2) great handling.
3) superb brakes.
4) nice seats.
The car I'm referring to is the Mazda MX5.

So you've found the perfect car! NICE!

A friend has the YSL edition MX5 with red leather, and it was great fun.

Good to hear from you @mlm1961 how has your car life been since we've last seen you? Still got that lovely Integrale?

Hi Wayne. Yes sir I've still got the Integrale. I'd like to see that YSL edition MX5 that you mentioned. I've never seen one. I've attached a photo of my MX5.
