I'm highly focused on driving dynamics. If a car is numb, the throttle unresponsive, steering imprecise, skitters on bumpy corners or gets out of shape when loaded up, I immediately dislike it. The new Cruze has few bad habits and is a general pleasure to drive. It's also remarkably economical when driven with care.
Seems about how I think about dynamics as well, I will have to drive a new one soon.
