Ford RS200

DiRT 3 (2011)
As good to drive as the CMR5 version - the differences though?, Dirt 3 gives more stages for this Car to be driven with, compared to CMR5. Dirt allows this Car to be used in Rally Cross, and, using it there it performs admirably. CMR5 showed that Group B Rally Cars were indeed a handful to drive, Dirt 3 with improved physics make all of them easy to live with. I'd like more liveries for this Car too.
Ford Mustang GT-R

DiRT 3 (2011)
I'd love to try this Car, however, I don't know if it really belongs in a Rally aspect, however, BMW included the Z4, soooo..
Ford Focus RS WRC

DiRT 3 (2011)
A great Car to drive in the way of Group A Rally Cars go, but, it's finicky to get just so in the way of setups, nevertheless, this Car is great to drive. It's available to use in Gran Turismo 5, but, where it costs a fortune to buy and isn't as much fun to drive....they need to leave the Rally Cars alone and leave them to companies like Codemasters. I'd love to see a few more liveries for this Car too.
Ford Fiesta Pikes Peak

DiRT 3 (2011)
It takes a little time to get the setup right on this Car, but, once you do it's a beaut to drive. As the Fiestas go in this Game, the Fiestas are FE/AWD Cars. So far as I know, this Car
is a ME/AWD..is that right? - pity that there aren't any Group N Cars, they're FWD, I heard that they're great Cars to drive.
DJM Motorsport Escort

DiRT 3 (2011)
As a Car to purchase, it's not expensive, however, it's too bad that it's not included to use - or, to download for free. Personally, if I could swap one of the Free DLC Cars vs this one, it'd be the Peugeot T16 Landrush Car for this one, not that there's anything wrong with the Peugeot, but, the bumper cam on the front of the Car is way, way too low. I used to love
this Car in CMR5 - the only complaint?, the Mk II was a little wobbly in the rear. Still, I'd love to have this Car.
Bowler Nemesis

DiRT 3 (2011)
As one of the few Raid Cars in the Game, the Nemesis is fantastic. Listening to it's supercharged V8 in the replays is a real treat. There aren't enough races for this and the other Raid Cars, which is something of a disappointment. That said, choose this Raider and you won't be disappointed.
BMW Z4 M Coupé Motorsport

DiRT 3 (2011)
I must admit I was really suprised to see this in a Rally Game, I know that the Z4 does a great job in track racing, but, to blast this machine along straights in Kenya and Finland is awesome, and, despite the Car not having as much power as the other trailblazer vehicles, this Car is probably one of my faves - I'm only sorry it's not able to be used in other Rally races, well, as far as I know it's not.
Morris Mini Cooper S

DiRT 3 (2011)
I don't seem to have access to this livery..maybe it's somewhere else...just the same, as FWDs go, this Car is beyond superb. I do miss modern FWDs though, there were quite a few in CMR5 and were terrific to drive. Anyone know why that is? - I think too that there were several versions of Rallied Minis..is that right?
Audi Sport quattro S1 Pikes Peak

DiRT 3 (2011)
I miss that the original Livery for this Car isn't in this Game, it was in CMR5 but, I don't think the physics were great...well, not for this Car anyways, I blame it on poor stages for the Group B Cars. Stages in the current Game are great and really let Cars like this shine.
Abarth Grande Punto S2000

DiRT 3 (2011)
For the few times I've driven it, I loved this Car, does anyone know if it still competes in the current WRC events? - I used to recall seeing earlier Fiat Puntos in Group N Rallies, but, nothing beyond that.
Ferrari Enzo

Gran Turismo 5 (2010)
1 million Credits to buy it, and, after 2, count em 2 races, 1 million Credits to fix it!!! - unf#%$^&gbelieveable - as it is now, this Car in no longer finacially viable for me to Race, not at the expense of 1 million Credits each and every time - now, blogs I've read suggest a fair amount of setup work is required to get it right, RUBBISH, I've owned a Honda Civic since Day 1 and it has maybe cost me at best 35000 Cs in chassis restorations, that Car too has over 20 Wins under it's belt, my Enzo?, 2...to say I'm heartbroken is an understatement, I'm devastated... I had considered other higher end Cars, but, now, no, not if they're gonna end up like this - besides, this Car couldn't even beat a Japanese AWD Nissan GT-R on a track, at Monza the GT-R bested 1:40 - this? despite mods - 1:46 - wrong... If you're considering this Car, be forewarned, it's expensive to buy, and, as I've shown, expensive to repair - sure, practice your driving skills, and get those setups right, but, I've made sure mine were as good as you could get for this Car, and, 1 million Creds *poof* - gone. Now I have to do another 2 DAYS worth of Races to get that Money back....*sigh*.
Toyota Supra JGTC

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Did anyone else find it incredible that these Supras except for one are all using Inline 4s! - yet, despite this, some have an atomic output of anywhere over 800HP - only one example of the JGTC Supras is using a V8 :)
Spyker C8 Laviolette

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
I think someone goofed on this one..when you take it to Spyker to add the usual upgrades, you find that you can add a Carbon Driveshaft?? - uh, no, as this Car is MR this negates a Driveshaft of any sort - yes, there are half-shafts, but, the Driveshaft suggests that the engine is placed somewhere else - like say, up front, where it's not supposed to be. I found that if you balance the weight in the way of a MR, the Car understeers badly and handles horribly, buuut, if you balance the weight like it was a FE/RD Car, then magically it's brilliant.
FPV GT

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Does anyone else wish that Australia had had some Races - one make or something in it?, these Cars are a lot of fun to drive!
Dodge SRT-4

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
I have been able to get this Car round the Nur in a time of 7:45 - overall time for 2 laps of a little more than 14 minutes - this Car is such a giggle. For a FWD you cannot believe what
this thing is capable of. If you don't have it in your Garage it should most certainly be there! - I think too the Car was capable of close to 200 Mph on Sarthe - I managed 196, probably
the fastest one of my FWDs has gone.
Ford Focus RS

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Folks, has anyone found this Car to be nearly impossible to drive??, don't put it through the weight loss program, instead add your go-faster bitz to it, but, leave the Car at it's stock
weight. I've found that if you do reduce the Car's overall weight it oversteers like a Pig and becomes prone to severe spins. It is an exciting Car to drive once you've mastered it though, but, like I said, leave this one's natural weight alone.
Lexus SC 300

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Has anyone else besides me found this Car to be a great handful to drive?, insane oversteer, mad wheelspin right up to 4th Gear, and acceleration that decides it wants to take off wether
you're ready to or not? - I have tried weight balances and ballast, but, still find it very hard to drive. Any suggestions?
Honda Accord

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
The 7th Generation Accord - another R spec, but, also known as the Acura TSX for the North American market. Very good car too!!
Honda Accord

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
00-02 Honda Accord Euro R - put this Car through the weight loss program and get yer balances set for weight, when you do, you end up with a great balance, I think mine is at 54/46. This
Car can be bought through the Used Car lot #2 - but, it's usually a wait to get. Still, awesome FWD if you can get it.
Honda 1300 Coupe 9 S

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
A fantastic FWD from the 70's.
Ford GT

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
VanMan629?, I am with you, totally - a fantastic car - better than the Concept. This one has the front lip spoiler and rear diffuser which improve handling immensely. As a result, the
terrifying lift off oversteer is reduced, it's still there, but, not as bad. The Car handles awesomely in corners, brakes are fab, and the acceleration is improved. Oddly though, and, I don't know anyone else that's checked this, but, the 4.6L Engine is Supercharged, according to Wiki with a Twin Screw Charger. Yet, in the game there's no mention of it, nor, that you can upgrade the current one with a newer model - that said, 838 or more HP is acheived with a good number of power add ons. I love it so much I own all of the versions! :)
Ford GT40

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
As a Concept - it's a great car to drive - in a straight line. As the Concept is missing the front lip spoiler and the rear diffuser, the car suffers terrible stability issues. Hard
braking for example will cause dramatic lift off oversteer. This isn't hard to live with, but, you just really need to drive the Car carefully when approaching a bend, curve. Brake in
advance and all should be well. If however you like doing 360s, brake hard and enjoy the ride.
Volvo S60

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Simply a great car, not that easy to drive as it can have over 400HP. Top speed isn't spectacular, about 160+, good, but, you'd wish it was a little faster. Ride is great once the settings have been properly set up. Excellent brakes, but, FWDs in Gran Turismo tend to stop very well, better than the other drive layouts. All I can say is, as a first time buy?, no, it's out of the player's reach, but, not a bad one to consider once the pennies have been saved up. Recommended, but, it's sad the AWD version wasn't added in the game.
Mazda MX-Crossport

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Yes - in it's prototype form, or, Concept - despite that, it's a really nice CUV to drive! :)
Mazda 6

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
This is supposed to be the Concept version of the 6 - but, if you try very hard, look at it and the production 6 - they are IDENTICAL - the only real differences between both cars are the paint colors (the Concept actually has a much nicer selection), and some details are not listed on the spec sheet - but, there are no differences.
Ford Falcon

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Now, if only they had included some Holden Race Cars to go against it, we could have had an Aussie Championship race!
Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Concept

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
I wish that they had included the Production Z and IROC versions of this car - pity that they didn't.
BMW 320i ETCC

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Does anyone know where this car can be used?, better still, where it can be used an earn the player a victory with it?
Audi TT-R

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Costs more to buy than the other Audi DTM car - the A4, but, handles better, and, has better acceleration.
Auto Union Type C Streamliner

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Does anyone know where this car can be driven?, I mean, I don't think it's possible to use in "Gran Turismo" mode, which kinda seems pointless, especially as it's a prize car.
Audi A4 DTM

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Perhaps "the" best of the DTM cars - since I bought mine, I've racked over 1000 miles on it.
ASL Garaiya JGTC

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
While this Garaiya is listed as JGTC, it's not suitable to actually use in the race. Underpowered engine spoils it. But, the car can be used/raced in the "Tuning Car Championship".
Alfa Romeo 147

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
GTA - 3.2L V6, and over 400Hp once performance parts have been added to it, tricky car in the corners, but, brilliant in straight-line speeds. Good car, but, takes a little practice to make it a great car.
Alfa Romeo 147

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
This 147 is the 2.0L Twin Spark version, Inline 4 and while it produces less power than the GTA, it is far more easier to drive - and, simply for that reason alone. Very good car!
Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Very good car, it's a sin that it along with the Opel Calibra seem slightly outclassed in the DTM race. Careful setup and use of the transmission will earn you victories though. Worth a fine sum too in case you need to earn some extra cash. Prize car for "La Festa Italiano" :)
AC Cobra

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
This car and it's RHD equivalent are brutal fun, and, unfair advantages in the World Classic Championship and Euro Classic Championship races. Pricey too!!, save yer credits.
Acura CL

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Like the older model CL before it, both share the same engine sound like the NSX, but, neither have that car's performance - still, nice drivers though!
Audi Le Mans

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Excellent car, but, has an annoying feature - after braking the car decides all on it's own to accelerate - great once you get used to it, but, terrible if you're not ready for it to happen. I'm pretty sure that that's not supposed to happen, but, with the LeMans Quattro, it's not the only car that seems suspect to this bug...
Caterham Seven Fireblade

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Does anyone know why you can buy this car, but, why you can't use it anywhere?, at least not in Gran Turismo mode?, I mean, isn't that where players usually spend most of their time?, and, for a car that costs Cr 60,000 it seems like a waste if you can't drive it :(
Audi S4

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Puzzling that it can't be entered in the Schwarzwald League B, where, a later model S4 CAN be entered. But, I do agree VanMan629, it is a fantastic car!.
RUF CTR

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Largely the car in the game that requires the most attention when driving it. Careful setups are needed to coax the absolute best from this powerful machine. Despite the model showing the characteristic "Whale Tail", it does suffer from lift off oversteer. That consequence of braking distribution and weight distribution. Both of those properties need to be worked out in order to make the car driveable. It's incredibly irritating that despite the wing that you can't adjust the aerodynamic properties. Despite the bad, this car is great to drive once you've worked out the setups, and, as I've accumulated close to 500 miles on it. Racing tires make it far more enjoyable to drive, but, practice makes it tolerable on sports tires.

In short, Dangerous, but, you gotta just love it.
Citroën Xsara Kit Car

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Nice car, but, very disappointed that it's a FWD. Did the developers for the game know that there's an AWD version of the same car??, in fact you can play said AWD version in Colin McRae Rally 4 and 5, so, there's no excuse that that car couldn't have found it's way in this game. As it is, it's awful to drive on anything but Tarmac surfaces and given that it's only a FWD Rally Car, the (Cr. 750,00) asking price is way to high, this should only cost players half that.
Alpine A310

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Fun car to drive, but, as I mentioned earlier, not as fun to the level of the preceding car, the A110. This car has got very good top speed, but, the acceleration isn't near the amounts of the A110.
Alpine A110

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Has to be one of the most exciting rear engine/rear drive cars in the game. When properly balanced (weight distribution) this car is superb!. It does take a little practice learning the behaviours of a RR car, but, they are a lot of fun once you've mastered it. The car that follows this one?, fun, but, nowhere near the same levels.
Chevrolet Corvette

Gran Turismo 4 (2004)
Fantastic little car - once you've added all the performance mods to it, and, handle?, man, can it!! - I've driven it with both Racing and Sports tires - the car rides like it's on rails regardless.
Lexus IS 300

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
I think there are Yellow ones of these in the game as Taxis, you have to drive one in the Challenge Series - not bad cars, and fast too!
Ford LN-9000

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
This is a driveable vehicle in the Challenge Series - slow as sin, but, virtually unstoppable, this is too much fun to use crashing through roadblocks and regular traffic - bear in mind though, doing so WILL slow this truck more than it already is, so, plan your accidents. Oh, it drifts too, odd for a Cement Truck..
Jeep Grand Cherokee

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
A virtual pain in the ass, these things launch at you, but, in the process usually disable themselves. You do get a chance to drive one in the Challenge Series, a lot of fun and something that you can respect once you get behind the wheel - handles very well, is very fast and very tough.
Ford Festiva

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
A hoot to drive, part of the Challenge Series - and, a very fast car too I might add, I once checked my speedo and found myself blasting along at a respectable 157Mph! - handles like a dream, but, feels heavy despite that though.
Ford Police Interceptor Concept

Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
A car that you drive in the Challenge Series. Now, as this may or may not suprise you all, when the game drives these cars they are tough to deal with, and stick to the road like they were on rails - you drive it though?, it is like driving a wet noodle and can't get it's power down - this car will literally spin in a circle of itself trying to get away from other Police cars - be warned!
