RX-8 Takes 7th in "Best to Drive" Portion of TG Survey
http://www.topgear.com/content/carsu...ures/03/1.html
"It'll come as no great shock that the top ten best drives are all sports cars in one guise or another. Mitsubishi's Evo (4rd) edges out its traditional rival, the Subura Impreza (8th), while there's a strong showing from Japanese roadsters in the shape of the Honda S2000 (3rd), Nizzan 350Z (6th), and Mazda's RX8 (7th) and MX5 (10th).

i pwn therefore i am
For the lazy:
1. Lotus Elise
2. Vauxhall VX220
3. Honda S2000
4. Mitsubishi's Evo
6. Nizzan 350Z
7. Mazda's RX8
8. Subura Impreza
10. MX5
I don't know what cars were 5th and 9th. Maybe I'm dense because I couldn't find it. Then again I didn't look very hard.

I'd happily take every car on that list.
But I only want 1 car, so take that same list and ask which would make the best daily driver by adding the usual daily driver criteria like comfort, ride compliance, smoothness, refinement...
Which is best? Now add comfort again...but for 4. Again, which is best?
...the reason why I bought the 8.
