How many, and which cars from GT2 have you driven in real life?

After years spent playing Gt2 and some years (but considerably less) spent driving real cars, I'd ask, which of the cars that were in Gt2 have you driven in real life? How did they handle, compared to their virtual counterparts?

My experience:
I drove 3 of the 600+ cars in the game (0.5%)

1. Volkswagen Golf IV generation
Owned this car for 2 years, it was the 1,6 liters version so it wasn't included in the game, which featured the GTI, the V5 and V6 ones. It felt quite near to the car in the game, with its "safe" handling which, although being quite balanced, wasn't really fun to drive

2. Alfa 166
My current car, similar to the one in the game. Good engine, superb road holding, on the road actually a lot funnier than in the game.

3. Lancia Y
Once drove one on the snow (some "drifting"), very light car, essential but elegant in the interiors, quite common here in Italy.
 
I drove a car similar to the 323ti in the game, except it was the 318ti version. I only drove it a little 4 or 5 years ago so I can't really comment on it too much. It felt pretty similar, stable and planted. Nice steering.
I have also driven a 1.8t jetta wagon, which is similar to the golf. I have yet to drive the golf in game though.
 
I own a '91 Escort LX which is nowhere close to the Escort Rally. However, my next car will probably be a Prelude Type S, Scion FR-S (I know it's not in the game), or Mazda MX-5.
 
If I had age to drive, these were the cars:
1. Opel Corsa B 1.6i 16V,
Well, my mom drove this car since she got the driving license until one year ago, when the engine didn't simply start up and my a:censored:hole father took it from her, leaving her sometime without a car, what made her get the following car;
2. Lancia Y 1.2 16V
My mom has got this car by sometime and she says it's amazingly easy to drive and it will be the car I'll drive when I get the driving license.
 
I've driven an Audi B5 just like the one ingame, only that the one I drove was an Avant and had the 1.8T engine. Sweet car nevertheless.
 
I haven't driven them, but I did see a Ford RS200, Viper RT/10 and Jaguar XJ220. The RS200 and XJ220 I saw at a car museum in Las Vegas. The Viper I see cruising around from time to time.

An interesting thing I found when I was at the car museum was that the RS200 and XJ220 were for sale! The RS200 was for sale for $100,000 and the XJ220 was for $375,000.
 
As for models of exact trim: I've driven the Lexus SC 300, SC 400, GS 300, and GS 400, the Mazda Miata '93 (although a '96 model, same specs), Dodge Stratus, Dodge Intrepid, Audi A4 2.8, Audi S4, Toyota Supra (the non-turbo engines), and the VW GTi (a '98 model). Probably a few others, like the '89 Protege and a couple of other not-so-memorable stuff, but I'm not aware if the specs match up.

If you live in North America, most of the Japanese cars have some engine or trim level that isn't available, so I could nod my head to the Accord, Civic, Prelude, Integra (for example) but think it would be a game of mix-and-match...doesn't really count.

I owned a GS 300 (similar to the '91 Aristo 3.0, just not turbocharged). Also a Neon (but not an R/T or ASR). Same bodies, but with lesser-powered engines.
 
2. Lancia Y 1.2 16V
My mom has got this car by sometime and she says it's amazingly easy to drive and it will be the car I'll drive when I get the driving license.

You're quite lucky, that's a good car, light and pleasant to drive.

I'd add I've driven both the Cinquecento and the Seicento (500 and 600) in the game, the former in its very "base" model (0.7l, 2 cylinders, 4 gears), the latter with a 1100 "Fire" engine which was the one of the Sporting too. Quite strange cars to drive, everything feels a little too essential: no powersteering, no abs, absolutely nothing, and the pedals also are among the less responsive I've ever used: they give you absolutely no information about where's the clutch, how much gas you're giving and so. Also there's the strange problem (common with Fiat's) of the Gas tank needle whose indication is affected by any longitudinal and lateral acceleration the car undergoes, so that it's almost impossible to guess how much fuel you have.
But there's to say going quite fast on one of those cars seems like going unlimitedly fast with a normal car: with 11' or so wheels, you always feel the car losing traction and struggling to keep even the least rough line in a corner: it feels like a racing car in the 1920s, not so safe but a lot of fun.
 
I've only driven 4 cars so far in my life (I got my drivers license last year) and the only car I drive in real life that is similar to a GT2 car is my Ford Focus Wagon SE. It's a mk I focus like in GT2 and I'm pretty sure that it has the same 2.0L Ghia Zetec engine as the one in the game.

I've been for a ride in more cars in GT2 than driving them though.

Cars I've rode in that are in GT2 in a way:

- MK.IV Volkswagen Golf
- Mitsubishi 3000GT SL
- SN95-2 Ford Mustang
- Another Mk. I Ford Focus

I am not yet on driving age but I remember my father used to drive the dark blue Civic Sedan '93 (actual exact model year not sure) back around 2009. I remember we making trip to Depok and Bogor using it. ;)
 
Peougeout 206 99' and that's all... In real life I seen a Demio GL-X, Ford Cougar, DB7 Coupe and my father had a Focus Ghia 1.8 99'
 
Cars I have driven from GT2 (that I can recall are in GT2) are:

Classic Mni Cooper
Peugeot 306
Peugeot 406
Ford Focus
Lexus IS200 (Toyota Altezza)
TVR Griffith

I have owned a Peugeot 306 and Ford Focus but after that the cars I've owned are too recent for GT2.

I drove the Griffith at a track day experience, it was great but didn't get nearly as long as I'd have liked in it.

I've seen and had a ride in many more, too many to list (certainly in the seen category).
 
I've driven only one. And it wasn't even mine.

It was a Ford Ka. I was doing pizza delivery when there was no driver available.
