If you think of your best and worst driving experiences what do you come up with? Driving in the city is never great because of all the traffic, both human and vehicular. It is just too congested to really drive how you would like to. Driving in the city, in any case is more about getting from point A to point B.
But what about driving around with friends? This always makes a substantial difference to any journey. If you have good company in the car with you, and there is good music playing on the radio then even traffic can't really get you down too much.
But what about driving long distances? This is tricky because it really depends on the reason for the journey.
If you are on your own in the car, driving on a long journey, then the trip can be very tedious, even if you do have a long strip of open road. But if you are in the midst of a road trip with friends then the length of the journey is half the point.
Most of the driving we do is just in order to get to work, or to get the kids from school. But when you actually take the time to really just drive for the sake of it, you'll realise again how much fun it can be.
