I kind of agree with these points. For street use, I want a car with great brakes...acceleration is less important. I want great handling, and am less interested in the quality of the interior materials. The streets are dangerous, and I want the improved dynamics that are common to newer cars, which make driving more enjoyable and safer, too.
