Volkswagen Golf is fun to drive, but BMW Z4 and Scion tC are not? I find that very hard to believe.

can't speak for the Z4... but tCs are not very exciting to drive. Peppy engine, decent car but honestly, the II was even more fun when it was still a V6

Ever drive a Chevette? About a 0.12 on the fun scale.

A guy could probably do better in one of the coffin-colored four-door geriatric-friendly sedans GM pumps into the market.

The Z4 is VERY fun to drive, but you MUST put it into Sport+ mode. It changes the entire dynamic of the car.

I agree that the tC is not the most fun car to drive, but I wouldn't call it boring either.

thats fair. I just couldn't find any reasons I preferred it to say, a corolla (a lot of my friends drive corolllas or other toyotas). That being said, no seat-time in a manual version..
