"Flat out all the time." - Dale McGloin
2. Mazda MX-5

3. 1979 Fiat 126

4. Honda Civic
"Went on a hills cruise today and it was surprising how well it handled the high speed corners." - nik_d13
5. Standard Eight
"26bhp!" - The Jackflasher
6. Mini Cooper
"Definitely not quick but insanely fun!" - Matt Perrin
7. Tata Nano
"We had it at Ford as a comparison vehicle. As it was an Indian model it was not road legal in Europe and so we could only drive in on our test track, it was the funniest thing ever. My passengers had to lean out of the window to counterbalance when we entered in the turns because we were scared it would flip!" - Daniele
8. 1970 Volkswagen Beetle
"Slow as anything but my god, he sounds sweet." - Widgemyster
9. Sisu SA-240 (Rasi)

10. Little Tikes Cozy Coupe
"One of these bad boys!" - Cory Brayshaw

I can proudly say from now onwards.. Finally my cars featured on carthrottle
I OWN A TATA NANO😎
or A NANOTADOR
Smart forfour
I have a Daihatsu Cuore (Mira) but the next generation. The one featured on MCM. I agree it doesn’t have much power but it’s definitely fun to drive.
How can a damn Tata Nano get on here and a Ford Ka cant… The Mk1 Ford Ka that I drive, has to be one of the funnest small car I’ve drove. Although it is my first official car, I have driven some other to, so I’m not just saying it as its the only thing I’ve drove. Granted, these cars get a lot of hate from people, admittedly me to prior to ownership. But as I’ve been driving it the past 6 months, its really grown on me. Yes, the suspension is a decently soft and bouncy, but that all adds to the fun. With it being so light (898Kg) its fun to chuck around and 69hp moves it reasonably well, with 1st and 2nd gear wheelspins being plentiful, especially when damp :D
That is all, just wanting to defend my little Ka from the hate :D
My mother had to use a Ka for a driving lesson because her instructors Clio was in for a service. She said it is the worst car on the road and drove like a tank.
Well you see, when you swap an LS into #10, on the quarter mile you can get…
I had a little tyke cars and me and my friends would always bring the cars to the top of a hill and roll down. and since ther is no steering i went down the hill and the car started to roll with me in it and hit a dumpster. i hit my head and started bleeding, i still have the scar.
Best Day of My LIFE
Also fun
Mazda 2 do it very well in corners, with a bit of bodyroll, that it can be fixed with a roll bar. I drove “mine” in a track, without any modification
I drive a Daihatsu Sirion mk1. You could call it a Mira, Storia or Cuore, but an european version of them with chrome and stuff. Definitely fun to drive! 4wd, 56bhp and 850kg, especially in snowy conditions!
AW11 mr2?
