No need to apologize for defending your opinion. What is "fun to drive" is subjective by nature. Just because reviews say that a Lucid drives better than a Tesla does not make it a fact.Oh yes, I get what you're saying. I am talking driving dynamics here though. There is no doubt that the Gravity is a nicer riding vehicle...it is probably the best I have ever driven, but she is a big car, granted it does not drive nearly as big as it actually is, which is a credit to the engineering, but it still feels bigger that my Plaid.
The Plaid is also a big car, but it also does not drive like a big car. Best description I ever heard was its like bringing a big girl to the dance, but if you lead her well, she can dance....Im sure I could lead the Gravity just fine, but it would be a little more work, to me, is all I'm saying.
I also know fun is a relative term, even for me on a day to day basis, but in this context, I can throw the plaid around almost like a big go cart, with the Gravity, I'm defiantly driving a "car".
I mean no disrespect in that sentiment; it's just my feelings about it.
I have lots of track time in many different cars, so I certainly understand what you are saying.
Tesla's get a lot of bashing in this forum but they are certainly fun to drive and have the most linear mapping for an accelerator that I've ever experienced. I love that. They also have a way of feeling smaller than they are. Again, this is my opinion. Others are allowed to disagree and I totally get where you coming from with preferring the feel of a vehicle that "drives" smaller.
