Does a bread and butter car suffice for daily travelling with 4 adults inside?

Hi, how is every one? Long time no see...... After almost two yr of driving i think i max out the 100bhp handling of my car.. today i nearly lost control of my car around a bend, I just counter steer back, suprising, I m not shock or afraid. My tires is quite worn out, let me corner until sqeaking!!! Tom i go change tire, maybe change to AD07 or RS2,depend om my $$$ next i think i will change the front shock to B6 if got spare $$$...handling slighty better after tat, can corner tighter, just a bit more...better than nothing If i really want to squzze some more, must lower the ride and start to learn power drift. but that will take out a lot of time in PG to master the technic.....use the oversteer to counter the understeer out of the corner, if can master, can get very good timing in PG.if lah...hahaha Of course if go hand in hand with a soup up lancer with coilover, the nippon car will be faster, even in corner,his entry and exit is much faster....if he tune up suspension properly...but I still go in with him, tailing him, no sweat.... Best part.....Stock car that day meet up with FD civic group, got a chap drive a GTI,yes golf GTI...he ask me what car i drive, i say octavia, he say handling not bad....i say ya, base on golf mark 4 plaform int he end, i am happy to buy a car that handle well and suit my bugdet...what more can a man ask for...
