Car Review

[Mazerati]

I'm really bored, so name a GT5 car, and i'll rate it out-of-ten and give a short reason as to why it recieved that score. Try it!

 

[sniper338]

The 09? (Forget what year) Dodge Challenger.

 

[Mazerati]

The R/T? Well: 4/10; It looks 'alright' and sounds 'not bad', but it's simply too slow (top-speed and acceleration) and it does not handle well at all, requiring a lot of braking to prevent body-roll and understeer.

Recommended: Chevrolet Camaro SS '10

Bmw 135i ?

 

[FishHunters]

Ferrari 458
BMW Z4M

 

[Mazerati]

Bmw 135i ?

6/10
Looks divide opinion, but overall car is better than it's price would have you believe. Decent performance and handling for what it is, not ground-breaking in any way though.

 

[andy54321]

Audi r8 v10 and v8 one.

 

[Mazerati]

Ferrari 458
BMW Z4M

458: 4/10
Again, looks are debatable. Also, for a ferarri, it isn't terribly quick or, more importantly, exciting. It can compete with rivals but can't dominate any of them.

Recommended: MP4-12C (my choice)

Z4M: 3/10
Very similar to 458s description except slightly worse in every way (obviously). Handles pretty good but fails to score on performance.

Masarati Gran Turismo S.
RUF RGT.

 

[Mazerati]

Audi r8 v10 and v8 one.

V10: 7/10
Very good car in terms of performance and handling. Plus, it isn't exactly expensive.Looks-wise, though, it's a bit too 'serious'.

V8: 1/10
Worth nothing when much better V10 exists. Only consolation is its slightly lower price-tag (although in this case less=less).

Recommended: R8 V10

 

[10Ten]

here's a few less common ones, but some of my favs:

- BMW 320i Touring Car
- Tommy Kaira ZZII
- Renault Clio Cup Car (the MR one)

btw i agree the Z4M is a POS. well you didn't say POS but i did... it pales in comparison to larger and more nimble BMW's (yes i realize it doesn't make sense, but that's chassis balance for ya).

 

[Mazerati]

Nissan GTR '07

5/10
Depends on what you want from it. I use it for drifting, where it performed averagely. Circuit driving never really worked for me in this car, it was too tail-happy and after all the hype, its speed let me down. Looks very good though.

Recommended: 430 Scuderia

 

[aadil717]

1/10 for the V8 R8 is a bit harsh, it's a brilliant car and I think you should of reviewed that car first since its a bit older like say give it at least 5/10 and then suggest that the V10 is wayy better and such an improvement.
Just my opinion though because I felt it's very severe since I love that car!

 

[aadil717]

What do you think is better btw? Ferrari 458 Italia or 430 Scuderia and why?

I agree with you on the GTR but for the price it's worth it, however I'm not reviewing the cars so sorry for interrupting my opinion into this.. lol

 

[Mazerati]

Masarati Gran Turismo S.
RUF RGT.

GranTurismo 6/10
Looks good, sounds good and performance-wise it does better than expected. However, chassis is below average, and with anything other than Racing-Softs this car is way too tail-happy.

Recommended: Racing Softs

RGT */10
Sorry, haven't driven it yet.

430 Scuderia, it's far more exciting.

Makes sense, but, if you can afford the V10 then why bother with the V8?

here's a few less common ones, but some of my favs:

- BMW 320i Touring Car
- Tommy Kaira ZZII
- Renault Clio Cup Car (the MR one)

330i Touring: 7/10
Very surprised by this car, sure it's not really fast, but it handles superbly and thankfully keeps the 3-series' looks. It is a bit too expensive (300k, which is M3 GTR money), but makes up for that by offering very good cornering ability.

[Mazerati]

ZZII 5/10
It's a kit-car, it looks 'unusual' and is priced at a GTRs level. But, it handles better than the GTR and can easily keep up in a circuit race. All it needs is better styling to take it above average.

Clio */10
Sorry, not driven yet.

That's what I was thinking too when I first got the game, I figured there must be a reason PD put two different ones as they may have different characteristics, I think the V8 handles better but maybe it's just my suspension tune, but I use my V8 for short twisty tracks and the V10 for bigger faster tracks since the only difference I think there really is top end acceleration and top speed, otherwise they look identical.

Cuore TR-XX 2/10
It's slow, handles badly and fails to excite as a result. Only plus point is the 'crazy' styling.

Dodge SRT4 5/10
A Cheap Thrill. Looks very good, sounds good and has performance to match. Chassis is less than brilliant though.

Spitfire 1/10
Complete opposite of the Dodge. Slow, unstylish and 'boring'. I cannot think of one good point about this car.

maybe it's just my suspension tune,

These 'reviews' are based on stock cars though.

Good thing you added that last part. I was getting ready to go to war over the Cuore TR-XX at least. Classic British sportscars are more of a personal taste type thing...you either love their styling or hate it.

Agreed stock neither car is much but they both can perform well when tuned.

Would invite you to try my tune for the Cuore TR-XX it turns into a miniature rocket that eats short twisty tracks for lunch and laughs at a lot of more powerful cars just avoid tracks with long straights as those show its weak point a low top end.

Lotus Elise 111

VX220 Turbo 6/10
Another very good car, whose only 'fault' is it's lack of top-end speed. Looks are 'Okay' in a sense and car has, in a good way, average handling

Elise 111R 4/10
This car is decent, to say the least. The problem is opinion. Meaning, i don't like its looks or its handling (yes, really) and as for excitement, it depends what you like, i personally don't like cars which require finesse to be enjoyed.

As if id written it myself!

Mercedes C63 amg

M3 (premium model)

M3 6/10, C63 AMG 7/10
Both these cars offer relatively cheap fun in the form of heavy weights being coupled with high power. Understeer isn't uncommon in the C63, but is manageable, just as much as both their high top-end speeds is easily accesible. All in all, both very accomplished sports cars that thrill for less. Why does C63 score higher you ask?...It looks better.

Recommended: C63 AMG

 

[andy54321]

C63 my choice too.

Try these.

[Mazerati]

Renault megane sport Golf gti

Megane RS 6/10
Giving the Megane extra power has succeeded in doing two things; making it quicker (top-end speed and acceleration), this bonds well with the cars weight and makes it very agile. I like the look of the Megane and its 'bustle' rear-end. It only gets 6/10 because it's in no way a pinnacle; by any means call it a great car in its class, but not the greatest.
