Driver's Car Vs Hooligan's Car #blogpost

First off, I should probably start off by stating my definitions for a driver’s car and a hooligan’s car

A driver’s car is a car with sporty intentions that rewards the driver’s good driving with enjoyment and confidence to push harder.

A hooligan’s car is a car that is the most fun when completely sideways, accelerating like mad on the highway or peeling away from a stoplight; above all, it’s a car that makes you laugh with excitement.

From the cars I’ve driven, the 2010 Subaru Legacy is more of a driver’s car than a hooligan’s car. While you can do donuts in snowy parking lots all day long in it, I feel like it’s more at home in spirited drives on mountain roads. The AWD system keeps the car very planted, the limits of the car are low and accessible plus the car is slow enough to where you can fully experience the acceleration the car offers without risking going to the county jail. Some other cars that come to mind when I hear driver’s car are the Porsche 911, Mazda Miata and the VW Golf GTI.

The 1996 V8 Ford Explorer I drove at a salvage yard is more of a hooligan’s car. You can do mad peels and drifts in it, it’s rather quick and the exhaust note is nice and throaty. Another great (and obvious) example of a hooligan’s car is the Dodge Hellcat. Not many people say 707 horsepower and pure driver’s car in the same sentence. Non-American hooligan’s cars include but aren’t limited to the Jaguar F-Type, Lamborghini Huracan and the Nissan S13.
