The M2 has brought back a playfullness to the brand that has been lacking for some time, many reviewers attest to that, and is well reviewed.

Steering feel is NOT subjective. It is part of the sports car experience. If you don't have steering feel, it's very hard to call a car a REAL sports car.

None of these are subjective. Not even a little bit. If you're missing one? You don't have a true sports car. PERIOD.

I'm looking for a true sports car.
