The feeling of a car

Well, i had a conversation earlier today with a friend, who owns a bimmer (and is proud about it), about the feeling of each car.

At first he started bragging about his car, who wouldn't anyway, and then he told me about the feeling of sportiness that this car "gave" to him. He says that every time he turns on the engine, revs the car a little bit, he feels that this car can offer him great pleasure, can be as sporty as hell.

Even though i don't agree about how sporty his 3er feels/looks, i do agree though that you feel something when you enter some cars. For example, when i get into my S60, i feel that "feeling of safety". I feel that if anything bad happens, a crash for example, then i will survive and hopefully will be able to get out of the car perfectly intact. This feeling may not be totally great, as the car "feels" heavy and you know that you can't push it to the limits.

But it offers you the "feeling of safety" and IMO it is the most important thing about a car. What do you think about this, guys? Do you think that cars have a "feel(ing)" and if yes, what would you want the feeling of your car to be?
