I applaud Nissan for having great electronics. On the same hand I like to feel a car and will never drive on a track to the limits to need most of those fancy gizmos. I test drove a cheap used Boxster about three weeks ago. The car just felt great. Sure it was slow but it felt right. Even as I got it sideways on the freeway on ramp with cold tires it felt right on.

Feel is something magazines can't rate. They can't compare the top ten best feeling cars. But they sure like to compare the fastest this of the fastest that. Some of the best cars I've owned and driven were not the fastest 0-60, 1/4 times, and probably were never tested on the "ring".
