Most and least PH cars!!!

[mwstewart]

Least: People carriers and Johnny Cabs - stuff like the Honda Jazz with the hideous upright rear end styling. You really must hate life to drive one of those.

Most: It can be anything that has been bought with driving pleasure in mind and is fastidiously maintained with a passion. Budget is different for everyone so I won't go into models and types.

Least PH car is a bus.

There can't be a "least" car on a car website.

I'd have said owning one of these would be very PH..

[EnglishTony]

Of the cars I have driven the 1 that brought out the most PH in me was Renault Megane Coupé Cup and the least a Mk1 Smart. Neither was owned by me and only the latter driven on the road. Interestingly both had sequential gearboxes but only the former provided any entertainment.

A joke has definitely been added to PH history; sitting alongside the greats that are frozen sausages and cans of Red Bull.

Most PH - BMW 320d. It's all the car you ever need, apparently.

Least PH - Golf R. Because it doesn't give people a hard on every time they turn the steering wheel.

I would usually agree with this but my eyes were recently opened to the hot hatch legend that is the Polo GTI, the most PH car ever.

Oh god this is going to be a thing isnt it

Polo GTI vs MX-5 (with a turbo of course) vs 335d (remapped) when?

polo GTi must be high on list, wasn't there also a V8 Passat , would look so dull it could be a real hoot. I agree with post about Tiff N in a Morris Minor, key to this is to look innocuous, even dull, avoid all " macho" mods

[Tony Starks]

Most PH would be a monster truck (smallish wheels, massive tyres and soft suspension) and least PH would be anything M Sport or S Line.

But seriously, I reckon most PH car is definitely an E39 M5. Its the one car that constantly comes up as one people would love to own.

Most PH car is anything that is interesting from a motoring enthusiast point of view.

Least interesting are cars that are white goods, boring and should have no appeal to those who should know better. Humdrum budget cars, while not exciting, serve a purpose. It's more the pretenders like the dull as dish water Golfs and Audi's.

VW's well made and Audi just posher versions, can understand appeal to those with lots of money, or more likely, able to afford lease, However, all are overpriced, not all are dull BUT, for what you get they are " funny money".

Least PH car? My PH decal is on a 2007 VW touran. Remapped to 185bhp, lowered on coilovers, uprated ARBs. I have become that angry dad who can't drive a "proper car" anymore!

It's not about the car; it's the spirit in which it's driven.

Most PH: One with a Smiley on
Least PH: One without one

Every car is a PH car, depending on the state of mind of the driver e.g. Tiff Needell drifting a Morris Minor.

I like mine, it's a really good little car, not rally a car for enthusiasts but going to the shops in a zonda would be hard work. Most trips are very easy in a Jazz.

Even easier & a lot more fun in an old Range Rover 4.6 HSE. With all smoke & ozones coming out of it.

Most PH Cars - Caterhams, Elise, Boxsters, MX-5, GT86...anything that's fun where the limits are attainable by the cack-handed, such as myself!

Least PH Cars - Those Toyotas with the Gold 'L' badges on them. Almost invariably dull to drive. Even the 'F' ones (and yes, living in the Middle East, I have driven many 'L' pool cars of various specs). LFA is probably an exception, but hardly mainstream and obviously designed by the relief team while the main Toyota design team was on holiday. Said relief team also responsible for GT86 and FJ Cruiser among very few other interesting examples.
