Apparently its a better drive. Faster doesn't always mean better. Also note that the E30 M3 is way ahead of the newer, heavier but faster M3s.

Yeah, whats the deal with that?

At least they are better than Motor Trend. In their Oct 09 issue, they were in search of the Best Driver's Car and not a single Lotus was even included as a contender

Light weight, top down =FUN FUN FUN

The list isn't bad but the order is nonsense. There is no reason why certain cars are ahead of others. There is no logic and too many contradictions to the order.

...absolutely, not a touch of sarcasm in my comment - the MX5's a fantastic driver's car...
