More traction and more bhp doesn't necessarily = more fun!
For instance if I'm having a spirited drive in my 30K+ M135i round twisty B roads somewhere it doesn't necessarily mean the next guy behind me isn't having more fun hanging on in his 5K+ Clio 182 
Indeed you're right Martin, the best fun cars I've driven have had quite low power outputs. In fact the more powerful ones you get to make less use of because most of that performance would just involve a nice man in a judge's wig taking your licence away and asking you for lots of money.
Mind you, I had the loan of an M135i yesterday…
… what a car! Enough said. Hats off to BMW for making that sort of thing at almost affordable prices.
