Cars Offering Most and Least Joyful Rides


Bangalore: The experience of driving a car varies from driver to driver. For some of the drivers, performance is the main concern, while handling, acceleration, mileage and looks are the main concerned subjects.

Cars are divided into different categories and so the experience with each and every car also varies. While talking about Sports coupes, Muscle cars, Luxury sedans, Small & subcompact cars and Midsized SUVs, ‘Yahoo’ has categorized some of the cars as cars offering most and least joyful rides.

1. Sports coupes

a. Most Joyful: BMW 135i

The BMW 1 series has been ranked as the maximum fun providing cars in the auto market. It has been the first choice for most of the experts.

The 135i series had an engine which has the capability to produce 300 hp, but the latest version of the 135i series has an engine which can produce 320 hp. The 2013 model has a turbocharged engine and also has the options of 6-speed, 7-speed and dual-clutch automatic. In terms of delivering power, this series is one of the best in the market.

They also like the 135i’s engine for delivering immediate power when they step on the gas pedal. Reviewers don’t comment on the transmissions as much, but one says both the manual and automatic transmissions deliver good acceleration. In particular, Consumer Guide reports that the manual shifter is very accurate and that the clutch is easy to use.

b. Least Joyful: Scion tC

Scion tc comes with a 2.5L four cylinder engine which is capable of producing 180 hp. It has a 6-speed manual transmission while the automatic transmission is an option. Considering the power of the engine, it is a good car in this category. But when it comes to the mileage, it gets lower rating from the experts.

Acceleration is also considered to be good while transitions are considered as average. It can be considered as a better commuter car rather than a sports coupe.
