Cornering and higher speeds will feel a lot more sturdy and feel more reassured to the driver in the 911 Carerra S too than say a 1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta.0

The Porsche will have more power and can easily overtake most cars on the road, it will feel a lot more grounded and secure at higher speeds, inspiring more confidence to the drive and the interior is a lot nice place to sit in.
Oh dear.

Really?
Are your sure?
Because at lower speeds the lack of weight and lower power will actually make it easier to throw a Fiesta into a corner.
And at higher speeds the over abundance of power in the Carrera will make it more likely that the car is driving the driver rather than the driver driving the car.
You can't really compare a FWD front engined chassis to a RWD or AWD rear engined chassis, give it a try on your XBox/PlayStation DM.0 -

I'd rather take the Fiesta on a long, dull motorway trek, than the 911.
Fiesta will be a softer ride, probably quieter, will use less fuel.
Being stuck at 70 in a 911 must be a dull, frustrating experience.
No all of us want sporty cars. But you'll appreciate that once you start driving yourself.0 -
