    There’s a sad truth about cars: not all of them are considered “cool” by enthusiasts. I mean let’s face it, not every car can be a Corvette C8. But that doesn’t mean uncool cars can’t be fun to drive! This is a list of 9 cars that are certifiable rippers, even if most people wouldn’t look twice in traffic!

      I also drive a Yaris, gen 2, 2006. Man, I love that car, it's super roomy for it's small size and weight, so reliable and fuel efficient, but IT'S NOT A SPORTY car at all. Maybe newer ones are, but this one IS NOT, and it's not a good idea to recommend it as such at all. It's a tall, narrow, low-length and lightweight car, and as such - kinda prone to steering issues, sliding or rolling over, just like other similar cars - A class, Twingo etc.

    One of my favorite cars I've had was an 04 xB - the TRD lowering springs and some halfway decent tires allowed it to be absolutely flung around corners, but then you could haul a stack of six pallets or a loveseat in the back (I've done both). They were on the same platform as the early Yaris, but with somewhat shorter gearing.
    Also, tortoises have stompy feet, turtles have flippy feet.

    I drive my slow '02 S40 fast all the time on the freeway and I freaking LOVE IT. Couldn't agree more with the driving a slow car fast quote.

      He should totally do it. Car guys making cars for car guys? Sounds like a great way to go bankrupt

      You know one time a little video game magazine decided that they could make games as good as the ones they wrote about. That company was Game Freak and they created the largest media franchise in the world. So maybe donut making cars isnt the craziest thing in the world!

    The honda fit is so fun to drive, it feels like a go cart because of how you sit in it and, it has a sport mode with paddle shifters.

      That's true af, no point driving a ferrari 488 at 20mph in the city streets, it's so boring, and can't go quick in the bends on country roads cos you'll break the speed limit so easily

      overtaking with 100hp is it's own thrill as well
