Of my current owned vehicles I find my '08 300C AWD Chrysler my favorite and my '23 Camaro a fairly close second. My '00 TDI Beetle is probably third at the moment. Going back over the years there was a '94 9C1 Caprice and way before that a '66 Chevy wagon (which I still have but don't daily it anymore).

My Maverick is supposed to be built next week so maybe in a few months that will be at the top.

damn! that's a lot of cars and some really fun ones in there.

I've only owned a few cars myself.

2002 jetta vr6 (lots of fun)
2009 honda fit (more fun than it should have been)
2013 impreza with 2.0 (slllooowwww!)
2023 rav4 prime (fairly fast/quick, but not super fun because it's an SUV so handling is compromised)
2023 mav hybrid (enjoyable to drive but again, a little too large for me to have serious fun)

Had a lot of cars, most of them slow, some really fast, 80% wildly dangerous. The fun for me is how you drive them and how far you push their limits.

I was lucky enough to get some of them really cheap and others were the result of impulse spending when I was working 16-18 hour days... I'd get these huge pay cheques, go pay some bills and blow the rest on some stupid car. Fool with it for a month or three, maybe it'd last a year or two and on to the next.

This is only my second one after my 2002 Accord. And while I loved my Accord, it had 100 horsepower less, way less torque, and no AWD. Never mind that it couldn't do light off-roading. So I'd have to say the Maverick. 🤣

Funny how a lot of people who like their mavericks also owned miata's at one point. The 2.5 in the hybrid I believe is essentially the same motor as what some miata's have sans the hybrid components. Great motor, a blast to drive, and bulletproof as hell.

While I wouldn't say our maverick is as fun to drive as a small sports car, the handling and steering dynamics are extremely responsive and planted for a truck, one of the many reasons why a unibody truck is a better all around vehicle than body on frame for 95% of truck buyers imo.

Hands down most fun to drive was the Model 3, it was a rocket ship on rails.

Nothing can touch the feeling of the Bronco with top and doors off.

But my most favorite was probably the 93 Nissan Altima GLE. I just fit in it and I really enjoyed it.

Hands down the Mustang Mach-E GT Performance is the most fun car I've ever owned. It's quiet, comfortable, the tech is amazing, it goes like hell off the line, and is even fun on twisty backroads because of the adaptive MagneRide suspension.

My 78 Camaro I dropped a 454 in was probably the most fun to drive vehicle as far as a once in a lifetime holy crap scary fast car is concerned. The open rear quickly broke and I put in a proper posi-trac with 3:42 gears.

However my 96 Miata is the most overall fun to drive vehicle I have owned. Beautiful MT 5-spd and top down rig that makes me smile. Like driving a go-cart on the street.
