Welcome to the annual paultan.org Top Five cars list, where each author picks the vehicles that have impressed them the most over the past 12 months. We’ve switched up the formula this year – we’re breaking up the usual big roundup post to give the individual writers the space to go into greater detail with regards to their selections, and some of them also get to be on camera. Enjoy!
Greetings, and welcome to my little corner on paultan.org where I reveal the list of the top five cars I’ve had the chance to drive in 2018.
There were many candidates to choose from this year, and picking out the ones that appeal beyond just performance figures remained a challenge as in previous editions of our yearly feature.
My choices, as you’ll hopefully find out, place a priority on how a car makes you feel when you’re behind the wheel. Slight bonuses are given to cars that showcase clever thinking on the part of the manufacturer, be it a nifty feature, or something else.
So, let’s not waste time. Here’s my top five cars for 2018 (in no particular order):
5. Subaru BRZ
Kicking off the list is the Subaru BRZ, a sports car that emerged from the Subaru-Toyota partnership. Yes, it has been around for many years, and yes, the powertrain has remained unchanged for most of them, but the BRZ continues to be proof that you don’t need big power to have fun.
With performance that is approachable, the BRZ delivers an engaging driving experience that provides a sense of satisfaction with every turn of the wheel, manual gear change and correcting a slide due to a little overexuberance with the throttle pedal.
To go along with that, you get a comfortable seating position, good ergonomics and some degree of practicality – this thing comes with Isofix child seat anchors and folding second-row seats for some reason.
It’s for those reasons that I decided to take the plunge and bought myself a 2013 model year BRZ in 2018, and I’m enjoying every moment driving it.
