Nissan defines a great car. Just sayin. :) lol

Yes Nissan has made some very great cars but they definitely do not define great.. { insert Nissan Micra convertible here }

*Edit: inserted..

If I could put stroked L28 Twin Turbo Carby in the S30 Fairlady in GT5 and have 650HP, that would be a great car for SSR7

For me, looks are by far the most important. If a car looks good to me I can forgive a lot of other flaws. Historical significance and technology doesn't matter to me.
 
Handling (don't need to be the "best", but predictable)
Herritage
Soul
Balance/Control
Engineering
Looks
Fun

M3 CSL
Nissan GT-R
Ferrari 430 Scuderia
Ferrari 458
Honda NSX Prototype Road Car
Renault Clio V6 Phase II (the MR one, think this is the one)
TommyKaira ZZII

The cars above are predictable, stable and easy to drive fast = Fun.. Then there's another aspect, and that would be a car that challange you as a driver, but are still fun to drive..
Such as:
AC Cobra
Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
McLaren F1
Pagani Zonda (any)
Ferrari 599 GTB
Aston Martin Vanquish
Ford GT
Lamborghini LP670-4 SuperVeloce
Saleen S7

These are the cars that pops up, but there's a good few more.. Some Race Cars are just to die for. So many awesome cars in GT5 to choose from.. 👍
 
Engine/Exhaust sound. Period. Cars with amazing sounds, like a Zonda or Gallardo and the RB26DETT engine of the old Skyline and 240SX series for example but also many other cars, just give a fantastic feeling to driving that car.
 
Like most people said, if it's fun, then it's a great car, IMO since GT5 faulty pp calculation puts the 86/FR-S against better rivals it's fun because it gives you a challenge, specially if you use comfort mediums, which are supposed to be the real tires. :dopey:
 
A great car is a car that is fun, handles well and is never boring. One that is entertaining, good looking and never stops bringing a smile to the drivers face. For me, that's a lightweight, tossable car, like an AE86, or a Mazda MX-5. Heavy, powerful cars can be great too, but those fun cars that make me smile, those are, to me, the greatest cars ever.

My things that makes it a great car is speed and grip because when you drive a slow car,driving becomes boring and driving a fast car is a lot more fun because you get a good feel of speed.grip is important because when you drive a fully tuned cobra with racing soft tires and with no tune,you gonna be sliding like a drift car.if you drive a Nissan gtr fully tuned and with no tune,it grip twice as better which mean better lap times.if you mixed both of those things up,you would have a really good and very driveable car.these two things makes it a great car
