Thats why a Fiat Palio 1.2 nv with 0-100kmph of 17 secs gives me more driving pleasure than a zen doing the same in 13 odd seconds...

What are the views of fellow t-bhpians on this....
Driving Pleasure takes different meanings for diff People and Diff drives.
Take ur Eg. The Indica provides excellent Driving Pleasure on a Highway for 100 kms(i.e. free roads) when comp to Santro/Wagon R but the same Indica is a nightmare(Irresponsive Engine/Poor gear shift) to drive in the stop go City traffic. Here the Santro/Wagon R provide more Driving Pleasure than the Indica.

And there's also an emotional angle to it(Don't know how many of you would agree to it)!!....think about this..My first vehicle,TVS Scooty (1998 model) gives me more driving pleasure than my Suzuki Fiero...can't explain but it happens!!

Frankly when u like ur car/bike u say ur car/bike is the best in Driving Pleasure..I mean..u wont bother if the driver seat has no height adjustment.(My scooty didn't have Gears at all!!)
