Summary
In order to purchase new cars inForza Motorsport, players will need to save up Credits, which can be earned from races, but considering that some of the most expensive vehicles cost over 400,000, it’s going to take quite a while before these become available. Instead, it can bemuch more worthwhile and fun to purchase a cheaper carthat still has a decent appearance and good stats that will let players cruise around a track at high speeds with ease.
By far, the best way to acquire Credits is by toggling the difficulty by adjusting the Drivatar bar, and while it’s not advised to go forthe hardest difficultyright away, it’s better to buy a decent cheap car and then gradually step up the challenge over time to rack up some Credits. With that being said though, anyone who doesn’t have too many Credits but still wants a vehicle that has a good chance of winning its races should consider the cars listed below.
71968 Ford Mustang GT 2+2 Fastback (59,000)
The ‘68 Ford Mustang isn’t going to win any awards for its handling or breaking, and in truth, it can be very difficulty to use ondifficult tracksthat feature plenty of lethal bends such as Homestead-Miami Speedway for example, but it’s surprisingly very fast for its price. Not only can it do a decent job at catching up in a race and capitalizing on other racers’ mistakes on a lower difficulty, but once it reaches full speed, it can easily sail to the finish line.
Still, it’s best on tracks that include long stretches of road such as the Grand Oak Raceway for examplewhere it can really burn some rubber. The classic 60s look might not be for everyone, but the light orange palette really shines when on bright and vibrant tracks, making for a decent car that’s a great choice to get the player started with their races.
61988 Holden VL Commodore Group A SV (61,000)
This is another cheap car that can struggle a bit with its handling and can take a while to slow down, but it can reach someshockingly high speedswhen it wants to. The 1988 Holden is a little on the heavier side which can often make it feel like it’s skating on an ice rink when turning a corner, butwhen it’s time to ramp up the speed, it does a great job of cruising past fellow racers thanks to that 5.0L V8 engine.
It’s a great car to save up for early on, especially considering the Credits needed can be earned after just a few challenging races, but for anyone who prioritizes speed above everything else in their racing games, the ‘88 Holden is more than ideal. This isn’t even mentioning the silver futuristic aesthetic of the car which is truly unique and looks especially good during the nighttime on dimmly lit tracks like Suzuka Circuit.
51973 Ford XB Falcon GT (68,000)
This car throws all of its chips into acceleration, and while it’s certainly no slouch in the speed department, it’s still more or less a beginner-friendly car which can get the driver back into the race as quickly as possible in ase anything goes wrong. Like a lot of the cheaper cars inForza Motorsport, turning with the ‘73 Ford XB Falcon can take a little getting used to, but anyone who might be new to the game and just wants a serviceable car to help them save up Credits should definitely still consider it.
The car also makes quite the fashion statement when arriving on the track, featuring amustard yellow classy designthat might feel a little outdated to some, but that still oozes that signature style of the 70s. Even if the appearance isn’t up to a player’s liking, considering how cheap it is, it can still be great purchase and take out for a spin a few times to accumulate some Credits.
42009 Honda S2000 CR (53,000)
The 2009 Honda doesn’t really excel in any specific area, but instead, covers all bases to ensure it’s more than capable of traversing any track in the game without any trouble. It does still have a moderate speed which is quite surprising considering just how cheap the vehicle is, but it’s also a relatively light car which makes it easy to maneuver, but alsomeans it can be knocked around by other cars.
It also has a very distinctive blue sheen to it which istruly eye-catchingand gives the impression that the car is much more expensive and high-end than it really is. It might not be the best in any single area, but there’s no doubt that the 2009 Honda is still one of the best jack-of-all-trade cars to buy for those first few hours.
32019 Hyundai Veloster N (54,000)
It’s actually pretty shocking just how efficient and reliable the 2019 Hyunday Veloster is considering the incredibly cheap price point, possessing a decent speed paired with moderate handling and breaking to make for an excellent first car. Despite being just over 50,000, the 2019 Hyundai’s speed almost rivals some cars found over 100,000, without even needing to sacrifice its other stats in the process.
It also comes with a very good weight that doesn’t end up making the car too heavy or light, so it’s quite easy to steer and will stand its ground in caseanyone’s trying to start some chaos on the track. The fairly standard bulky black design can look a little bland, and it can take a little while to get back up to speed after a bump, but this car really is still a hidden gem that most players would never even know about.
22003 Nissan Fairlady Z (63,000)
Admittedly, the small bright orange design of the 2003 Nissan Fairlady can look a little jarring at first, but once players get used to it, they’ll havea pretty amazing car on their hands. This Nissan car is extremely fast and will easily blitz past the competition on lower difficulties, making it easy to earn as many Credits as possible to spend in the future. It might prioritize speed, but it still handles very well and has good enough acceleration to where it can easily take on large stretches in a matter of seconds.
If players don’t want to save up for the most expensive cars in the game and instead want to slowly progress through vehicles, they should think about buying the 2003 Nissan Fairlady first before then moving up to the 2017 Nissan GT-R which is essentially an upgraded version of the car.
12008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR (73,000)
While the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GSR might seem a little pricey compared to other cars on this list, it’s astonishing just how good the car is for the asking price. Not only does the stylish glossy red Mitsubishi design make it a feast for the eyes, but it’s also extremely reliable in literally every area, unlike a lot of cheaper cars, which tend to sacrifice one or two stats to bolster another.
The Mitsubishi Lancer is fast, easy to drive, and bulky enough to bat away anyone who gets close. The enhanced breakingmakes drifting far less riskythan it would be for most other cars, but just in case the car does touch go off-track, this really doesn’t matter too much, thanks to the amazing acceleration speed. It might take just a little extra time to save up for, but this car really is the best money can buy for anyone who might not have the Credits to splash on the fanciest sports vehicles in the game.
