caterhams... why?

not trolling on this matter, but i need an answer. bought an r300 on the 18th march. sold it 1 month and 3 weeks later. without question the worst car i have ever owned. it was like driving a bobsleigh. ridiculous in every respect. i cannot see what the fuss is about, which is why there must be something clearly wrong with me. zero fun on the road, especially with the aeroscreen, nothing remarkable on the track AT ALL.... me thinks it is the automotive equivalent of the emporers new clothes. what is the deal with them. why do people buy them and think so much of them. they are hopelessly compromised in too many ways (mechnically, ride quality, reliability, open to the elements) to make it a viable automotive proposition in this day and age.

i am sure this post will go down well(!), but please respect my opinion and refrain from personal abuse in any responses you may wish to give...

thanks for the reponses... without answering all points individually and posting a war and piece novel, i think this has summed it up best...
