> That's tight cornering, well-balanced front and back, feeling of total control and precision of big chunk of metal and similar.

That is nor really the interesting part of car fun, neither is acceleration.

Going to barely accessible trailhead high in the mountains, fording streams, going on a narrow mountain road, that what makes car driving interesting. I always look in a car 1) what is the biggest tire I can fit, should be at least 33 inches 2) ground clearance 3) suspension travel.

Thats not the interesting part of car fun. The part that is fun to me is to drive a couple hundred miles with the car doing the lane centering and passing for me, so I arrive fresh.

On a highway I don't care for lane centering and passing, I want car to drive itself while I am taking a nap.

That would be a fine next step. Can’t buy today though.

Can but it's a coin flip whether you reach your destination or end up in a ditch.
