Vote for the Drive 2021 BP Ultimate Driver’s Car of the Year
Which car puts the most amount of thrill and enjoyment behind the wheel?
Barely a day passes in the automotive world we don’t hear news about 'autonomous this' and 'assistance that', and you could be forgiven for thinking that the role of the driver is becoming less relevant than it once was.
While technology is working on making routine driving easier and safer, we can see manufacturers also using technology to make driving more fun.
Track and Drift-Mode drive settings, torque vectoring that works under both power and braking, lightweight, bespoke components and even data logging and reporting functions were, until recently, the world of high-end exotics and purpose-built specials – are now available in affordable and accessible cars.
Pair this with more efficient turbocharged petrol engines that are on the cusp of mild-hybrid enhancements, and we might just be approaching a new golden age of driver enjoyment!
With that in mind, and to celebrate the thrill and pleasure of being behind the wheel, we would like to invite you to vote for your choice of the Drive 2021 BP Ultimate Driver’s Car of the Year.
The CarAdvice / Drive content team have decided on our top-six driver’s cars of the past 12-months:
Ford Fiesta ST
Mercedes-AMG A45 S
Mini John Cooper Works GP
Porsche 718 Cayman GT4
Toyota GR Yaris
Volkswagen Golf TCR
And we need your input to decide on a final shortlist!
So, jump across to the voting microsite, submit your vote, and we’ll put the top three together in a challenge to find the overall Driver’s Car of the Year.
There are some great prizes to be won, thanks to BP Ultimate, so get voting and we look forward to putting your top-three to the test!

Director of Content
James has been part of the digital publishing landscape in Australia since 2002 and has worked within the automotive industry since 2007. He joined CarAdvice in 2013, left in 2017 to work with BMW and then returned at the end of 2019 to spearhead the content direction of Drive. In writing and presenting content for Drive, James understands that the needs of buyers will vary from car to car, and through his own family experience, knows what works best for when readers are dealing with day-to-day family challenges, and when they can simply relax and enjoy the drive. Much of his work is behind the scenes, guiding the strategy that steers the content publishing across all channels, but if given a chance will never shy away from getting his hands dirty off road, or at pace on a racetrack. James has owned dozens of cars, run a supercar club, competed in club and amateur level motorsport, and was even a finalist in the search for an Australian Top Gear presenter.
