Much better after the bug fixes, but still far from perfect. Agreed.

I stuck to bikes which were fun to drive around.

Absolutely. I stopped playing it because it just wasn't fun, 2.0 is much better. Bikes are way more usable, but I'd love to be able to hoon the cars like a GTA game.

Edit: Ok, I figured it out. You can't hammer the gas all the time. The driving works more like an actual car than a GTA game. So if you drive more like Forza, you can actually hoon the cars. Bikes are more tolerant to full throttle. Controllers having a variable input for the throttle allow you to control throttle like a gas pedal. So higher acceleration cars become drivable with less throttle and hammering gas produces a "realistic" ice rink feel, as desired. I still prefer Jackie's bike despite this understanding.
