But is it possible that newer and faster is better than what came before, in some cases? We were comparing M3 generations after all, not against track-prepped Miatas.
My whole argument is that in my experience, the F80 is just plain better - and more exciting, and better handling - than the car it replaces. I just don't see how you can turn these into negatives, and still call yourself a car enthusiast, that's all.
