Just Bought GT5, First Car Recommendation?

[jasham]

Hi Folks,

I just bought a used PS3 and GT5. Does anyone have a recommendation on a good first car purchase?
Many thanks.

Honda Civic Type R of the Level 0,you will found it in the honda dealership,not in the used car dealership

you should get a free Toyota gt86. you can then use your extra credits to upgrade if you need a little more confidence

Honda Civic's very good. mazda MX5's not too bad either.

Many thanks for the helpful replies!

Completing the license tests to a Bronze, Silver or Gold standard will award you with cars that will come in handy certain race events, and so will those races themselves 👍

You've probably picked one by now, but I started 5, 4 and 3 with a MX5 Miata.

Thanks, actually so far i've only started with the car I was given. I went to look for the Mazda MX5, but have not found it yet. So far I've completed two or three of the licenses and about 2 beginner level 0 races. That's gotten me up to I think level 4 now.

this might sound a little odd my 1st GT5 car was a 1991 Honda Prelude vtec and with the basic upgrades it is pretty darn quick

Congratulations!
With your new cars, you will have to learn how to tune them. I don't know your automotive background so this might be easy for you or a learning opportunity.
https://sites.google.com/site/gt6tunes/home is a good GT6 site but you can probably find GT5 tuning information online. Also look for tuning information here in GTPlanet. Remember these "tunes" are a starting point for you. You might come up with something different to match your driving style and the track you want to run.
Tuning will turn a good car into a winning car.
If you find you like this type of gaming, get a wheel. It will help the "driving" experience but many very good drivers still use a controller.
Most important of all: HAVE FUN !

Thanks, I'll have to go take a look at that one.

Many thanks for the link to the tunes site, I'll have to look for one for GT5.
I'm finding that the GT Planet site will be a good resource.
Actually, I'm not a total newbie to GT, I had an old original PS3 that died about 2 years ago. On it I was almost finished with GT Prologue, had all of the cars except one, and I was racing all of the races using a Logitech wheel and pedals. I would not race any other way, the driving experience is so real feeling. Still totally new though to GT5 and a bit rusty after a 2 year layoff.

since GT5 doesn't have online connectivity anymore, why not use the *easy money way* to get cars!

Lexus IS200 '98. One of the first cars in the UCD cycle. A reliable car that won a good deal of beginner races.

 

[Alutec]

I started off with the old Celica. It normally appears in the UCD on the first day, also.

Could you send me a PM also with your method, I'm cash poor right now and need a few mil to buy a LMP racer for the endurance races.
Thanks in advance,

I started with the '07 mustang (after selling my prize cars from the license tests).
