Next car I'm buying is a Mini Countryman for my wife. She loves those cars. Probably going to get it this Fall.
The author got a little crazy at the end:
He mentions the FRS/BRZ twins and the Fiesta ST, but doesn't mention the GTI or Civic Si.
I've driven a recent GTI and outgoing Miata and he's 100% on those two. I would imagine the Civic Si would fail to. FWD kills both of them from a pure driving enjoyment stance.
RWD is better, for sure, but "pure driving enjoyment" is subjective, at best.
My first and only Miata was identical to the BRG SE version in that article. Wish I still had it but that was many cars ago.
