I'm changing my answer from earlier. I will have to see what I'm dealing with, probably a used 4 wheel drive thou that way no extra car purchase needed to rally. I keep my first car to the very end : ).
This is my position too. My tendency is to buy Japanese, but it depends on what's available in the used car lot.

In GT4, I bought an MR2 MkI, and my predilection is to get one again, though I am a little leery of fighting the mid-engine chassis. But... yeah, most likely an MR2 again for old time's sake.
 
I'm really hoping to get a japanese car in my hands. Hopefully a honda civic eg/ek any will do. Maybe even a nissan silvia s13, I like it more than the s15 or a mitsubishi lancer evo or subaru impreza.

Some other cars come to mind aswell like the honda preluder,the nissan skyline r32, mazda rx-7 FC/FD and mazda mx-5.

Damn, I can't choose lol.
 
It's got to be a Japanese car, probably a little Honda CR-X if it gets included. Or just for a laugh I might get something like a Fiat seicento or Suzuki Cappucino.
 
Can somebody perhaps recommend me some cars? I'm primarily looking for some hot hatches and/or cars in the sub-200hp range like the Golf or the Renault Megane. I think one of these would be great for my first car.
 
In GT4 I started with either a Civic or an early Evo, can't remember. So I'll probably go down that route again.

Yeah Ide like to get a CRX for nostalgia purposes. It was the first car I ever bought in the GT series, it was a dark poo(ish) coloured little thing that handled great, and went like a cracker with a small turbo in it. This car had wwwaaayyyy more longetivity than I was expecting, so hopfully there will be one sitting in the used lot for me when I go to purchase my first car.

PS im not transferring any data from GT5P
 
A new Suzuki Swift Sport in white, if budget allows. I will already have the cars that will come with my CE copy but I won't be using them for a little while if I don't sell them.
 
So the cars we get with the collectors or signature edition e.g Chrome line we cannot drive these then once they have been downloaded.

Of course you can, otherwise they would be pretty pointless.
 
If I can just use Preorder bonus or CE cars than I might do just that. Something tells me they will not be avalible to start GT life though.
 
1998 Subaru Impreza 22b-STi if I could find one for the starting credit limit. Maybe beat first licence sell it's award car (givin that I receive one and I don't like it) then go hunting.

There's one of those that parks round the corner from where I work, beautiful car...
 
If we can carry over the credits we earned in 'Prologue then the sky's the limit for me, i can say for certain though that i'll be buyin a BMW M3 early on for the photo mode alongside racing it.

As for the early races im thinking (if its in the game) either a vauxhall VXR Astra or VW Golf GTI although a rear wheel drive 1 series beemer would be alot of fun too.

Either way im goin to have a ball and am countin down the minutes to it:bowdown:
 
Nice HPT I've only seen one ever!! I've seen more Lamborghini Diablo's (5) than 22b Impreza's. My least favorite Lamborghini by far (Chrysler ruined it for me) though it's still beautiful.
 
I want something thats ff and not über. Something european maybe. I hope the preorder cars arent available first because then I have to drive with my mclaren f1 stealth model car :guilty:
 
I think I'd go for a Honda Prelude 92 Type-R (my old car) if it's there, or otherwise probably a 3200GT or an Evo 4-6
 
I'm not to definite on what exactly I want yet. I like being surprised and browsing the vast used car lots like the previous installments (minus gt3).

Most likely I will choose a cheap yet peppy FF hot hatch to get used to the new physics of GT5. Or if possible, maybe a cheap AWD like an old (gen2 or 3) wrx sti or lancer evo (1-3). No rear wheel drive beasts right off the bat.

Any ways this is my previous Gran Turismo 1st car list as my memory serves me.

GT1: NA miata/eunios (sp?)
GT2: Can't remember for the life of me:ouch: I want to say a Civic hatch?
GT3: PT Cruiser, I know it sucked for the first few days
GT4: '97 Toyota Mr2 N/A (orange)
GT5P: Mk5 VW Gti Candy White (my real car)
