What is the point of driving a car that doesn't allow you to enjoy the sensation of speed at legal speeds?Originally Posted by AdamD
Gotta say, I feel a bit sorry for you triode if you reckon refinement makes a car boring! You'd miss out on enjoying a raft of fantastic performance cars that can also play smooth and quiet... including the MkVI GTI.
A friend and Golf MKV GTI owner used to have an AMG SL55 and he says that while the performance in a straight line was alot better in the Merc, he enjoys driving his MkV GTI a whole lot more. The SL55 was so smooth and refined that travelling at 100 was like travelling at 60. Boring.
Have a look at this video to see what Jay Leno thinks about the (born again) Morgan 3-wheeler. Take note of what he says just before he puts in his order for one (4.11min/secs).

That is what driving is all about. Not cossetted/entombed in silky smooth car - what is the fun in that?
If you to drive a smooth and boring car, you are better off getting a Lexus LS350.
