If you want a performance car, the only thing that matters is the car's performance, which is not subjective at all. It cracks me up to see people who thrown out BDC and lightning lap times to support one car over the other because of a second or two margin on the track, but then pull out the "make mine a stick" card. You either want the best time possible on track, or you don't.

If you want a fun/sporting car, then the subjective qualities come into play. But you're right about one thing - buy what makes you happy, because the internet isn't going to drive your car.
