Back on the way back, among friends and beyond, the question “which is the best car in the world” is a topic of conversation. For some it's the Porsche 911 because of the performance and versatility it offers, for others it's the Mercedes-Benz S-Class for the comfort and technological pinnacle it represents. From memory, these are, at least, the cars that most often appear as candidates for the title “best car in the world”. However, as the conversation progresses, other models sometimes emerge. To me, the Citroen AX.
For me the best car in the world is a Citroën AX. For any particular reason? Of course, it was my first car. At the wheel of that Citroën AX I was Sébastien Loeb, such was not the revival I made to posts and trees. And I was even Steve Mcqueen, the king of charm. Seriously!
In your country I don't know what it was like, but a few years ago in Alentejo (mine), nothing gave more charm to a young person than two things: a letter and a car. I had them both – unfortunately age advances and women become more demanding – but that's another 'five hundred'. One thing is certain: from then on, no matter which car I drove, I was always Guilherme Costa. And as you might guess, there are more interesting people to be than myself. Continuing...
Along these lines, you can already understand that I don't take this question of “which is the best car in the world” very seriously. The reason is simple: there is no better car in the world! For me, the “best car in the world” depends on what each of us values. I value experiences more than performances or technology. If he valued design, it certainly wasn't a Citroën AX he would choose — perhaps an Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale. Having said that, I return to you the question: and for you, which is the best car in the world?
