Initially yes, and they were probably grinning ear to ear when they first bought it, just like we were all grinning ear to ear when we first drove by ourselves, but once the novelty and excitement wear off it goes back to the meh face.
It’s like skiing/snowboarding, the first couple times you go down a run your having a great time, but once it doesn’t become a challenge then it loses its excitement and fun. With skiing though theres a lot more elements of variation (trees, bumps, jumps, narrow trails, grade variations, snow conditions …) to keep things interesting whereas driving roads can only vary with curves and grades, both of which are in a much narrower band of variation for safety reasons.
There’s a reason tons of people spend tons of money every year going skiing but not too many people are renting super cars to go and drive around the hills.

Yeah, this dude has never spent time behind the wheel of a nice sports car. Shit is sooooo fun.

Even a shitty sports car is a blast. I had a lot of fun in my manual BRZ.

A manual BRZ is far from a shitty sports car. Hell, it’s more agile than a lot of $100K+ ones.

Oh I drove a Saturn sky and wrecked it. That car was fun but I was to young to properly gauge its quality.

It really is. It’s almost half as much fun as bombing down a winding forest road with no car traffic on a bicycle.

I have an older 911 and that is just fun to drive. It’s just a fancy go-kart. My little Grom is also a blast to ride.

Between 250-400bhp depending on weight is the sweet spot IMO. I’ve got an old 996 and it’s so much fun away from traffic.
