Most Fun Car To Drive
My 992 is, by far, the best car I have ever owned. That being said, it is not the most fun car I've driven. I'm not talking about long cruises, dealer experience, reliability, etc. Just a quick jaunt. What is the most fun car you've driven? I have to say, so far at least, for me it has been my 2017 Z06 MT. Just the sound, raw power, and ability to spin the tires at will was so fun!

Currently, my '22 Subaru BRZ six-speed manual is probably more fun around town than my '23 992 GTS PDK. It's just so light, tossable, bang the gears, slide around, and still be doing 60-80mph flogging it. My C6 ZR1 is also more fun than the GTS because it's modded and just SCREAMS at WOT. Spin city and a rocket ship in higher gears.
That said, the GTS isn't exactly boring to drive and it's incredible build quality, engineering, and rapid efficiency with supposedly "only" 473hp makes it a blast in it's own right too.

Smaller, lighter cars I had and still have a lot of fun in it - all more in the category of go cart driving experience
- RX8 - nothing compares how it can carve curves, lightweight and great weight distribution - sold it, wish I kept it
- MX5 - there is a reason these are used for drift and cross events, not powerful by any means but heck of fun to throw around - still enjoying it
- GR86 - for sure a bit underpowered car and you are not going to do burn outs but throwing in the gears and make it go around corners is where the fun is - my son enjoys it still
- Z NISMO - a bit on the heavy side for me, but as manual and with some bolt on very enjoyable - sold it
- CIVIC Type R FK8 - did not expect to enjoy a FWD and 4 door but Honda did a nice job here, aftermarket suspension and a tune make it even better. - my son is still loving it

Haven't gotten my 992 yet but my GT350 is crazy fun to drive. It is an incredibly capable car and nothing like a flat plane crank V8 connected to a six-speed manual. My 700hp Raptor is pretty fun in the dirt in Baja!!!

GT4 hands down. Still overall I prefer my 992.

For maximum fun, I prefer small, light, and not too much power. Of the cars I've owned or driven, I think AP1 S2000 is near the top of the list for fun factor. The pedal placement and shifter are so good in that car, you feel like part of the machine.

993 for me, which I no longer own. Driving it was an event every time that started with the crisp feel of the door handles, the sound of the door closing, the small, focused cabin, the metallic sound of the aircooled engine, the very distinct smell of that era's leather, the smell of warm oil, and of course, the way it felt to drive... like an extension of your body. Everything was perfect, because it had been perfected for 35 years.

I found my 991.2 GTS to be great fun. But not actually the most fun. Which is partly why I've traded it in for a 992 GT3. Hoping that'll be even more fun. Can't afford a Senna.
I had a Toyota MR2 (obviously many years ago) that was ridiculously fun to drive. The handling was so balanced and the car was so tossable that, if it was maybe 50 HP more powerful and a bit stiffer, it might've been the most fun car I've owned.
Thinking about it now, I think that the most fun car I've owned (and still own) is a Mazdaspeed 3 (go ahead and laugh, I get it). I put a much stiffer rear motor mount, wider lighter wheels, and a KW V3 suspension into it, and added a somewhat more aggressive tune. The torque-steering, turbo-lagging, traction-breaking all the way through 4th gear nature of the car is such that it still gives me great joy to flog it through twisty mountain roads. Best money I ever spent, the dollar to fun ratio is off the charts. The NVH combined with a cheap interior makes it not at all comfortable, especially for passengers. But it's fun just sitting and idling at a traffic light, car vibrating and chattering like mad.

So many fun cars on this list that I haven't driven. They're not all Lambos' and Ferraris, etc. In fact, my buddy claims his mini is more fun to drive than his Ferrari. I'd love to drive a BRZ/GR86, RX 7, S2000, GT 350, Hellcat. All obtainable cars for the most part. I had a Speed 3 also and it was fun!

My 992 gts is the most fun car i've had. I've changed my driving position lately and I'm able to position the car better and have more fun while doing it. Sports plus mode and manual control, oh man this thing sticks and goes. Mine is awd and I can oversteer in some cases when I go for a rip.
