We've all got the sports cars, racecars, and exotics we love for the mainly obvious reasons. I'm curious to know which of the in-game vehicles are your "guilty pleasures"... the ones that don't really get the "love" around here but that you really enjoy using in the game either because you love how they sound, handle, look, etc.

For me the first that comes to mind is the '62 Buick Special. Love the look. Love the sound. And holy WOW is it powerful! I believe I had it at 197mph in the long stretch of La Sarthe. It's not the best handling car in the game, but it's easily better in that regard than most of the other cars in the classic muscle car category.

So that's just one of mine. Howabout the rest of you?
 
Always been a Skyline fan.. now if i could only figure out how to get a real one.

After that my favorite is the Mazda 787.. once I get that car my life feels complete.
 
McLaren MP4-12C. Not as fast as my lime green Veyron, but it kicks so much ass. It's the car I won the Veyron with.
 
The Daihatsu midget is a beast when fully tuned :)

Mine is probably the PS13 silvia. Im not keen on the body kit in game but its a dream car irl.
 
Seriously, guys? I think those fall into the category of "popular cars around here" or "exotics". Not exactly a guilty pleasure driving them. :)

(Referencing the McLaren & Veyron)
 
I think I would fall asleep driving that. I haven't even done the K Car series in the beginner set yet!

I used it for exactly that for Aspec and Bspec. Just thought bob looked hillarious all cramped up in it. Seriously though, add every mod you can for it and its useable. Though its also laughable that you can use it in the truck race against big american and japanese behemoths! Even more laughable that the Midget is your prize car for the truck race on Bspec lol.
 
Mach 1 Mustang . Its easier to drive in Circle than a Straight Line but what a Car all 695bhp of it :lol:
 
I found one: Mazda Furai Concept. Handles like a modern-day 787B with the power to prove it (51.66 at Tsukuba).
 
Both RX-7, mostly FD3S though. Love the sound, love the looks, love the handling, basically I love everything about the car. My biggest dream irl.

Also, R32 GTS-t. FR for the win - and it's the best one if you ask me.
 
Funny you mention that. The New Beetle RSi was next on my list as far as guilty pleasures. 4WD and great handling make it a great sleeper option for the rally races.
I saw in the used section earlier. Should have snagged it really.
 
Acura DN-X Concept [or Honda Dualnote], and the Mazda 110S/Cosmo Sport, both are cars i really like that seem to be very underrated, which is a shame as they are very good for their class of car [Hybrid and Classic respectively]
 
Micra mm-R Cup Car. It's like an ugly puppy that tries so very hard for you to love it. But you can't, because it's ugly. But you must, because it's a puppy. And it tries so very hard.
 
The Ferrari F430 I just clicked with that car the instant I drove it in GT5P. After a day at work I take it onto SSR7 and hope it rains, it never does.
 
In the region of 80 grand if memory serves. Well spent for a good car that would see a lot of use I reckon..

Would definitely be put to good use on my end. Got about 180,000 credits just sitting there waiting for one of those and another guilty pleasure of mine, the Chevy SSR (in yellow preferably).
 
Oddly, a TVR Griffith 500. Been a secret favorite of mine since the early GT days.
 
Maserati GranTurismo S, with exhaust upgrade for the sound - still haven't quite decided whether I prefer sports or racing - but otherwise no upgrades (though I'm sure I'll be trying out a few performance upgrades sooner or later).

I don't use it for racing (though my b-spec drivers have made good use of it), but so far it's been my favourite car when I just want to go for a cruise.
I love the handling and I love the sound (even if it's lacking a bit of grunt compared to the real thing), and it certainly doesn't hurt either that it's one of the most beautiful cars in the game in my opinion.
The only thing I'm a little less in love with is the dashboard - a few too many colored lights for my taste, but otherwise the interior looks quite good as well.

Good job I just bought it! Pm me for a trade.
