So the performance version is way faster but less fun. For even more fun, I’d drive almost any car with a manual transmission over one of these appliances.

- rasz 4y agoTransmission? whers the fun in that? Try riding a horse like real men.
- fragmede 4y agoA horse? Where's the fun in that? Try long distance running, from before horses were domesticated
- Kaibeezy 4y agoRunning? Swinging on vines. Hoot!
- quickthrower2 4y agoTry doing a big bang and starting the universe!
- Kaibeezy 4y agoAgain?
- quickthrower2 4y agoHa ha you youngsters and your time dimension and causality
- pjc50 4y agoFun analogy: horses have about four distinct "gears" (gaits), and there's a certain amount of skill in achieving smooth transitions between them.
- nickserv 4y agoSkill for the rider or the horse?
- slaw 4y agoSkill for the rider. For me 3th gear was the most difficult.
- brianwawok 4y agoThat one time I killed the clutch was rough.
- lionkor 4y agoAbsolutely agree - I still drive my old mini one because its just way more fun than any car ive touched since then, other than pre-1995 porsches, i enjoyed some of those. I wouldnt give the direct feedback of those controlsy and the manual control, for anything.
- rsj_hn 4y ago1970s BMWs - 2002 style -- are great fun as well. 1970s was the golden age of German Auto Engineering.
- interstice 4y agoI have an old mini, 135i manual and ride a motorbike, you could say I’m an enthusiast. but I’d take an EV today if it weighed less than 1.5 tonnes, affordable, had awd and wasn’t essentially an SUV with no clearance. There’s nothing inherently wrong with electric to my mind, but attaching a heavy and huge battery pack is like building a car with a permanently attached boat trailer. Takes the fun out of things a bit. Touch screens can also go. Hopefully this changes in the next generation or two, I really would like to get away from gas.
- fragmede 4y agoYes hopefully! as soon as we collectively get over range anxiety and they sell cars with 50 mile range because that's all you really need when you plug it in at night, most of the time. And bring back the Smart FourTwo sub-sub-compact form factor. All of which will serve to bring the price down immensely.
- fragmede 4y agoIs it really fun to lose the race to someone driving an "appliance"?
- Kaibeezy 4y agoTotally fine. I’m sure they enjoy pressing the ‘go’ button.
- jgilias 4y agoHave you actually driven an EV though? The first time I drove one I was pretty surprised how fun it is. Anything that doesn’t have two exhaust pipes doesn’t even come close to your median EV appliance as far as pure driving fun is considered.
- saturn_vk 4y agoThere's nothing fun in needing to move some stick in a mechanical contraption, especially when driving through a city
