I'm more a fan of german cars. my dad has a (2003) Porsche Boxster S and oh man is that thing fun to drive(with his permission after I wash/wax it, of course
). It feels so well balanced. 50/50 weight distribution is easy with a mid engine layout. Don't get me wrong, I love the grunt of a V8. BUT the sound of that boxer engine is my new obsession! It doesn't need a radio!
