Don't know your defination of "drivers car." Can only speak for the xfire--it's a ton of fun to drive and the 19" rears stick to the ground. If you are looking for HP, you probably want to look at another car. If you are looking for a uniqur looking and fun car to get around in, then you should consider the xfire. The Speed channel did a special on the xfire and they said it's quite conforatable at 150 MPH--that's plenty fast for my everyday driving :lol:
