Different cars suit different people.
If your thumbs are good enough any car is competitive.

p.s. You know this in in the RHR section?

It's all opinion of course

however a lazer fs is one of the easiest to drive, most reliable well engineered and manufactured car going

You said it's a matter of opinion.

Ironically I quite like the B-Max! It is exactly what it is supposed to be - cheap, cheerful and relatively good!

Mine was the SP (same geometry as FS) although I did try an FS once or twice. Personally preferred the SP so didn't make yet another costly upgrade to FS, just bought a new car for about the same price. (B44 by the way)

its not got the same geometry fs has lower gearboxes and different rear hubs which gives it a much lower roll centre its 10mm longer chassis and a totally different layout ive found it much better than my sp loads more stearing,jumps much better and a lot more stable the fs2 has also longer rear wishbones which makes it even better over the bumps

And the upgrade costs more than a second hand B44. Nuff said.
