Volkswagens seem to drive well.

And the X2010

erm, cool. :boggled:

Anyway I vote for the F40. Seems like such a tricky, wild car to begin with. Spend time with it and magic happens. Brake all the way into every apex. Sideways, even without ABS. Glide out again with perfect predictability - winning.
 
Isuzu Bellett 1600 GT-R '69, I used it for the japanese classics seasonal. I had a blast driving it.
 
I agree with diegorborges & GT'S BiG FaN. The M3 CSL is predictable, I ran a best of 2:24.0 followed with a 2:24.1 at Spa, RS, 525pp in an online race with a stock transmission. (no wing or other aerodynamic pieces)

Also, the RUF 3400S performs well.

The Delorean is a really balanced car. At 542pp I have done a 6:50 lap @ the ring.

This:tup:

Guys, give this car a try. Put some sports softs and tune it close to 300hp. Trust me, for being a RR car, it sticks to the ground like a few. Plus, leave the stock transmission, it gets the best out of the car. Awesome acceleration + traction.
 
-BMW M3 CSL, and M3 E92

-Nissan GTR Spec V
(The most balanced car in the game. It kicks butt. It´s unbeatable. But for some strange reason, the most BORING CAR TO DRIVE! It just grips, and grips, and grips, and...)

-Volvo C30, Focus ST and Civic Type R FD2
(The most balanced FF cars in the game)

These for sure. I'd also add the 458 Italia and the Corvette Z06.

Some of the worst-balanced cars: the MP4-12C, the Yellow Bird, the BTR, and king of them all: the Ferrari Enzo.
 
It seems to me like the Ferrari F430 Scuderia, BMW M3 CSL and the GTR Spec V are the top favorites so far.

I've gotta agree with the person who mentioned the S800 RSC. I was blown away by it recently when I did the seasonal event with one of these around Tsukuba. It lapped low 1 minute times which is very quick for such an underpowered car.
 
If you're talking about handling, the most balanced car in the game for me is the Lotus Evora, it just blows my mind. The car goes wherever I want it to go as I was using telekinesis. Well, that's before Spec 2.0, now it oversteer a little too much, nothing that I didn't get used, but it was a little better before.

Now, the car that surprised me the most was the Viper SRT10 Coupe. The first time I drove the car was testing it on Nordschleife with CM let's say at 90% of the limit and the car was so easy to drive. In the end I did a 8:10, if I remember well.
 
Here's one many probably don't look at: The Opera Performance S2000 handles very well for me and its very stable.

As others stated, all of the Nissan GT-Rs handle great and the N24 can compete against SUPER GT cars.
 
Audi R8 V8/V10 and Obviously the GTR's 👍

McLaren with no TC is horrid... press the accelerator and it just spins, set TC-1 the cars much better... Same thing happens to Enzo...

Evora with more power is an epic car aswell, cuz with stock BHP is just a bit too slow...
 
A very balanced drift car is (suprisingly) the Lamborghini Countach (as stock though). I was doing a shuffel race the other day and I ended up getting it, and it just went so smoothly around the corners, I couldn't believe it (not to mention I had the dreadful M3 the race before that, that thing just spun out if I even touched the throttle a little). The Mazda RX-7 FC (the premium one anyways) is also very good, max tune without a turbo, is also a good and balanced drift car (but thats to be expected, lol).
 
I test out, race, or just drive around at least two new cars a day. Even so I may have experienced only a third of the cars in my GT5 Garage. This makes me realize that deciding on the most well-balanced car in the game would be premature (if not actually prevaricative).
At this point - the Honda Takata Dome NSX, I find, is perfectly balanced for my style of driving. And also both Toyota GT 1, and Bentley Speed 8, seem to read my mind, perfectly sensitive to every move I make. All of these stock.

Tuning helps to balance a car sometimes - my tuned Nardo, Yellowbird, and Stratos all behave like trained thoroughbred stallions - yet, they were the very devil to train. Once bridled right, even with only a hackamore, these rides are a joy to mount.

Nice you mentioned the Evora. Maybe not the most balanced when it comes to handling, but that Lotus is so much fun to drive! Like you said, it goes where you want it to go, but at the same time, you can have fun with the gas pedal when exiting corners. Man, that car is tail happy!

The Viper is my dream car. And I have to admit that even I find it to handle better than it should. So well balanced for not having any technology, and that huge V10 at the front.
