Given the additional info provide in the other question, I might go for \'distinctly sporty driving\'

Kim - Don\'t think this is about bicycles - the additional context in the other question suggested \'economical\' driving, and I\'m not sure how you\'d do that on a bike! ;-)

agree  Kim Metzger: pronounced sportsmanlike driving - or do we have to say sportspersonlike?
5 mins
  -> Isn't sportsmanlike something different? I thought that was being a good loser and fighting fair ... while what we want is sporty (-:
neutral  Johannes Gleim: the driveing is not sportsmanlike, but sporty, its unsportsmanlike
9 mins
  -> Don't think the two are necessarily mutual exclusive!

neutral  Kim Metzger: Mary didn't use sportsmanlike, I did.
6 mins
  -> Yes, I saw it. The "Neutral" was only for "sportsmanlike", but if the question deals with bicycle racing it might be acceptable, except for car racing.

decidedly responsive driving


Explanation:
"Via the Active Select function, the driver can select the manual shift function for more RESPONSIVE DRIVING."

(http://vectra.opel.com/brand_sites/vectra/launch/templates/t...

"An emotional, contemporary design, combined with more RESPONSIVE DRIVING pleasure and greater room than its predecessor, make the ES 300 a more alluring package for a broader range of buyers. In many ways, the new ES 300 more closely aligns with the LS 430 flagship model." (2003 Lexus ES 300)

\"responsive driving pleasure\" would, of course, be \"sportliches Fahrvergnügen\" :)
