Mercedes hasn't been kenown for driving dynamics, but perhaps their solidity is great. Porsche is absolutely renowned for the driving experience they provide.
There are plenty that can match these in every class. If you only consider brands based on an overall perception, then sure, maybe not.
The Cadillac ATS and Alfa Romeo Giulia are almost universally regarded as dynamically superior to their 3-series equivalents, for a common example.
- amartya916 8y agoCompletely agreed. Similarly, most cars in Jaguar's current portfolio have good Dynamics.
- mav3rick 8y agoThe Audis were better than any other Japanese car I test drove.
- vinay427 8y agoThat's quite reasonable, and I may agree depending on what exact cars you test drove, but that's a rather different statement than the one made in the comment I replied to.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoI would believe that for Acura or infinity, but Lexus?
- jcims 8y agoS series yes (have an S5 and an SQ5). A series pretty much drive like a Toyota minus the reliability.
- sk5t 8y agoHad a B8.5 S4, now a B9 A5 with sports suspension. The power/transmission leave a little something to be desired, but the A5 is otherwise a very nice ride, and not too wallowy for an Audi. I have also a much more powerful sports car for the weekend, but the A5 has its charms too.
- mav3rick 8y agoI love the A4 drive as well.

Exactly, my 2017 Focus RS is so much fun to drive and has a lot more power than any German car of equivalent price. I mean where else can you find AWD, 350 HP and 350 ft/lb torque with a 6 speed manual for under $40,000?

- 2trill2spill 8y agoYea sure, but we all knew the Focus RS was a limited production release and they would only be making it for a couple years.
- fein 8y agoA used R32 or Golf R and a stage 2 ecu tune (downpipe) will easily do it, and be a better car overall. I like the RS a lot, but not $40,000 a lot.
- 2trill2spill 8y agoYour comparing the price of a used car vs a new car? Of course the used car will be cheaper. A Golf R brand new is more expensive then a new Focus RS. Also I'm a Minnesotan I need a real AWD system not the Haldex system in the Golf R, which is basically FWD unless it detects low traction then it will engage the back wheels. Also the Golf R has only 288HP and 280FT/LB torque compared to my cars 350HP and 350FT/LB torque so I'm not sure why you think the Golf R is the "Better" car.
