Default Does driving other cars make you

So, I went on a vacation for a week, and when I got back I was working extra to make up for the vacation time. During the two weeks that I hadn't driven the S, I had driven a 99 Civic Si, a 98 Accord, a 96 Toyota Avalon, and a 91 MR2. When I finally got back into the S after two weeks, it was almost like that the first drive all over again. Everything was so precise, the gearbox, brakes and engine felt amazing after what I had been driving for two weeks. Does anyone else notice this after driving other cars for a while?

My gf has a 96 civic EX 5spd and sometimes I drive her car places. Even after driving it for 30 minutes, I get back into my car and discover not only how much I love my car, but how much I hate other cars

Whenever I drive the other car and go back to the S it feels lethargic, noisy, and cramped....

I hate driving anything but my S, unfortunatly none of the cars I have borrowed since I got mine were Porsches or Lambos or Vetts or anything that resembles a car with performance JMHO.

I drive a 96' Toyota T-100 pickup every day for my work (cable guy). It makes me even appreciate my SVT Focus and especially the S. When I get in the Focus it's all smiles because I'm home ya know? It's my car, my baby. I share the S with my girlfriend but it's all good The S is for driving. The Focus is for driving places.

Im on a similar page as 03....

My daily is an 03 TL, and granted it's and amazing handling car for its size and front wheel drive, its still quite a change (and a good one at that) to get back into the S.
