I'm not certain what "best driving" means in this context. I prefer small light cars, coups, sedans and roadsters. I've had a 1965 Lotus Seven for the last 29 years. What it does well, it does very well. It rides like a Cadillac with cinder blocks for tires. It is very quick and agile, but it beats you up to drive it. It leaps about a bit too. Fun though. I owned a round light 2002 in the day. It was nice, but the steering wasn't great. It was quite refined for a 2000 lb car. I have owned a couple Elan +2s. They rode and steered much better than the 2002. A lot more difficult to get in and out of, and significantly tighter rear seating. I used to put 4 autocross tires in the trunk of the +2 and close the trunk lid. You could take the trunk floor out and place them on the fiberglass under tray.
Also, in almost 100k miles, my 2002 had a tired blow by motor. I had replaced the rear end and had the trans rebuilt as well. I also replaced the steering box. It was far less durable than I had expected. I would have another 2002, if they were not so expensive. Too many other cars available in the price range. My only Alfa was a Berlina. My (somewhat modified) Cortina is a better performed in every way except that it is noisy. The Cortina doesn't belong on the list of great drivers either, even though it once beat all the Porsches at a Porsche club autocross. Apparently those Porsches it beat were great drivers. I had a 124 Sport Coupe, and loved it. Great driver? Probably not. I would love another though, or a 124 TC, or even a 131.
What is a great driver is whatever you like to have fun with, I guess. 510s and 240s can be made to go well, but stock they were not great drivers to me. Slow steering and bobbing nose.
