Whoah. Not my experience at all, and I suspect not a lot of other people’s experience either.
This is only true if you prioritize car ownership. I have a crappy car that isn’t fun to drive, and I’m happy with that.

For example, switching from an expensive Audi car with fantastic handling to a mid-range Mazda diesel because it's much cheaper to run. Or because you live in a city and decide that you want a smaller car for easier parking.
Or because you want to switch to an EV, and can't afford a Tesla. I'm sure a Nissan Leaf is a lot less enjoyable to drive than many similarly priced ICE cars.
I know it'll be a downgrade from my current car, but my wife can't help but to stare longly at the empty HOV lane during rush hour.
In a more realistic and practical way, an EV will end up being the "faster" car after all.
But it is laughably far from the “best car [I] have ever driven" - which was the quote I was responding to, and which is the basis for the parents’ argument.
