Car reviews

You can write your impressions about cars you own(ed).
Please, no reviews about cars in license test !

Please note - I don't use driving aids, Steering assist (0%), Traction C. and ABS switched off.
Steering sensitivity is max (150), and I use touchscreen controls, designated as directional in controls options.

So, here we go:

Peugeot RCZ (sold)
Good for start, but nothing special... nose heavy, as you would expect for FF car. Heavyweight, bulky car... even after complete weight reduction. IMHO not suited for track, better for showing off (in real life :D ) ;)
I eventually sold it to get a couple of CR and to free one garage space. Enough said :D
My advice would be - earn enough CR to buy new car, (Integra is really good for begginers) then sell this overweight fraud :D

Mitsubishi Lancer evoIX (sold)
Really good in stock trim. Easy and cheap to modify for 400-500 hp, but a bit heavyweight (cca 1200kg) even after complete weight reduction. Really hard to drive when modified above 500-600 hp. Also, just 5-speed transmission...
I eventually sold it, becomes undriveable/uncontrolable with fully built engine (cca 800hp). I also needed garage space for NSX =)

Honda Integra Type-R
Light, nimble, fast... type-R, sapienti sat ! B-)
A bit nose heavy, but that's normal for FF cars. Yet well ballanced for a FF. No turbo upgrade, but NA tuning is really good (it's Honda, after all lol) - can get you over 300hp when fully modified. 6-speed transmission suits well. I recommend this car as a FF option.

Honda NSX type-S zero (sold)
Great car, well balanced, nimble. Really fast in stock form, some of the best cars so far. First drawback - "just" 350 hp when fully tuned. That's a bit disappointing in a racing game (for an NSX) :)
Second drawback - hard to drive when fully modified. Joypad or even steering wheel would help (real steering wheel controller, not that tiny crap on your touchscreen :D).
Just for pro's and real NSX fans, and yes, i'm one of them ;)
I eventually sold it. Why ?
1) really hard to drive... too bad :( 
2) Got 27,000 CR for selling it... and I needed that money for Skyline r34 =)
3) I will eventually buy NSX-R, so, no harm done :D
4) saved one Garage space, also...

Nissan Silvia s15
Affordible and fast, lightweight car. Easy (and cheap) to modify past 400hp. Great, well ballanced in stock form, yet hard to drive when 400+ hp... Why I like it: affordible, lightweit, well ballanced... and really fast. What I don't like: Well, hard to control when engine is tuned... :( 
I still own it because... I like it xD and hope would be better for driving when I purchase joypad controller =) B-)

Nissan Skyline r34
This car got my attention in License tests (full lap in Yamagata circuit - Intermediate). Really fast and nimble - fans already know it has 4wd, but also AWS (all wheel steer). Like the color scheme, blue with effect + dark grey/titanium wheels... :drool:
Really good in stock form, even better when modified ! =)
I recommend this car !

Nissan GT-R
Cut story short - big, heavy, overpriced, undrivable disappointment. Quite ok when stock, better with complete weight reduction... also, powerfull enough in stock form. 
Apart from that... UNDRIVABLE when you modify engine past 800hp. 
I had to use ABS with this car with modified engine (1000+ hp)... you have to brake EARLY, steering is impossible while braking... steering/cornering is kinda crappy...
I needed this car just to pass A-class Unmodified series. Good car for street, in real life, but not for track... just overweight.

---

Honda Civic Type-R
Just like Integra Type-R, but lighter, a bit rawer and unrefined... couple hp less than Integra, also. Most affordable car in AR so far, therefore good alternative for Peugeot :D 
(I purchased it yesterday, so... this is just a short impression)

Thnx for reading
