GTI handles well for FWD.

It's completely subjective, and again, it's apples to celery to morningdoves. The article is definitely worth of a

This, the lack of s2000 kills the list instantly.

But the NSX and S2000 are discontinued models, and I'm assuming that this is a new car comparison. All things being equal, though, I agree that those are amazing handling machines!

How did those two get in there?

Who knows if the article was meant to be definitive. You could easily expand the list of cars listed into classes of vehicles. The GTI is a cost-conscious hot hatch, the Corvette a high-end muscle car, the GT-R the Japanese counterpoint, BMW M3 a luxury sport sedan (consider C55 AMG, RS4, or possibly CTS-V instead), the Mazda RX-8 a ~$30k import coupe (consider 370Z or Genesis Coupe instead), and so on. There would be little reason to have both the Boxster and Cayman.

Not to mention the MX5 too, i guess there are many good handling cars and his makes choosing very hard. I have driven a 370Z and they handle great!

C&D can test drive my Dyson Ball. It handle all sorts of curves and corners like no other. Not sure why it didn't make the list.

Was it C&D or MT that did a similar article (pure subjectivism) a year or so back? I remember the BMW 135i placing LAST, something an owner of was, of course, very against.

But as before, it was just a "seat of the pants" test. Get a bunch of different cars together and race 'em around the track. Vote what's best. Seemed a random sample then - same here.

I find it interesting reading. Of course, I'd find it more interesting to see how the Z would fare. Mebbe they can't test as many as we'd like due to time/$$$ concerns?

They crashed a Z, so its handling sucks d!ck...
