The best handling cars ive had are a citroen AX GT500 and a Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI but the scooby is the best overall.
Ive also drive lotus elises,posche carrera and a ferrari 360......which wins hands down,absolutely awesome
But mate also used to have a peugeot 106 GTI which was incredible round the twisties,god I loved that car

I agree Integra type R ....felt like it was 'on its toes' so to speak...like a sprint athlete.
and my Mini - with 12" imp wheels, neg camber bottom arms, good tyres and adjustable Spax.......like a kart!

"I ran a Cayman S for a couple of years and that was a great car. All the inputs you gave it resulted in constantly good feedback and an amazing ability to carry speed through and out of corners. I went from an Evo VIII to the Cayman and although the VIII was a great car I always felt when I drove the Cayman that Porsche had engineered the handling into the chassis whereas the VIII (and Scoob for that matter) acheive it through some handling but mainly a good 4wd system that is controlled via electronics. Different approaches to allow you drive fast but I personally preferred the Cayman approach (although now need back seats, a decent boot and a towbar!)."
I know you feel the Cayman was a better handling car as said above, but
were the 4wd safer/more confidence inspiring in the wet? thanks JL

I recently took up the offer from Porsche of a 24h test drive in a 997 C4S and I can honestly say that it amazed me in terms of handling. It was much more planted and gave me more confidence to carry higher speeds on twisty country roads than my Elise R and compared to Scooby's and EVO's is just in a different league in terms of handling - far better - Porsche certainly know what they are doing in terms of making a great handling car.
I would guess that a C2S is even better and a GT3 a step up again - hopefully I'll find out this year
