Huntley Sport
HuntleySport1.JPG


Best car in the game.

- Fast
- Great handling
- Looks fantastic
- Fun to drive


And that last point is the deal maker. I can pick up a Comet or Infernus any day, but they're not really fun to drive. They're too... exotic. The Huntley Sport... now that's a realistic car that's also fast.

Also, it's the only car that I find to handle full hand braking acceptably.

Honorable Mention: Blista Compact
Fun, small, handles well, relatively fast.


...So what's yours?
 
Ice Cream Truck. Hands Down.

- Big and Powerful, great for smashing through barriers.
- Handling is good enough for me.
- It has the style, and the hilarious chime.

FINALLY, by far the best bit is the name. Seriously, how could you not want to drive the "Cherry Popper" Mobile???
 
The Sultan.

Fantastic handling, great sound, great speed.
 
I've forgotten it's name, it's something like the PCP 600 or P0P 300? Is it PDP 600? Honestly, I'm crap with cars so I really don't know. It's the fairly low down model, usually found around Ray's hangout, quite boxey but pretty sporty. Handles like a dream.
 
Turismo. Mine has a gray sparkely paint job and it is teh sechs.
 
Banshee.

But I'm really loving the Turismo in this game too...

I actually enjoy all the cars. They're lots of fun and handle differently.

The Sentinel is a ****ing rollover waiting to happen. No car have I taken a turn in before caused me to roll over, but it's happened to me twice in a sentinel.
 
The Comet is a bitch when it comes to roll overs.

PMP 600
 
Sultan RS. Eats Infurnuses and Comets alive.


Also, THE PATRIOT. Pfft, and people complained that they took the tank out of the game.
 
Comet, it has great handling and is very fast. I've gotten very good driving around corners at very high speeds with that car. Mine has a phat yellow paintjob.

I know man, that thing is a ****ing beast. hit cars from the sides and they go rolling. Not even the bus rolls cars that easily.
 
Blista Compact. Can't beat it for chases, speedy enough and handles like nothing else.

Honorable mention goes to the Faggio, just because.
 
Blista Compact is the dog's bollocks.

Sultan RS is pretty nice also, I like the sound it makes when it shifts gears.
 
I'm in agreement with the Huntley Sport, I do like driving it due to it's balance of handling / speed and strength. I also like the PMP 600 as already mentioned above - http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/PMP_600

My favourite though is definitely the Super GT, which looks just like an Aston Martin DB9, excellent handling, accleration and speed. Not with the strength of the Huntley but many a time has the S-GT drifted me around corners and out of trouble.
 
Blista Compact or Blista

Yes. I like the minivan.The Blista helped me out big time on Three Leaf Clover.
 
Faggio

(Can't find a pic from IV).

Although I really like tearing up and down Algonquin in a banshee, I've had more fun using the Faggio. A mere novelty in previous games, I found that the Faggio in IV is reliable and handles like a champ.

If you lean forward on it, you can reach a modest speed, it's great for weaving in and out of heavy traffic, particularly with heat and I got my 500ft wheelie achievement with it. :D

Plus, running someone down with a Faggio in MP is plain hilarious :p
 
Sentinel. 'Tis my favorite car in all of the GTA games.
I got the 500 ft achievement easy with the Faggio. D:

The faggio wheelies like a dream. Just get it at speed, keep holding the accelerator and pull right back on the stick. The other bikes you'd have to tweak the accelerator or thumb the left stick a bit more delicately to hold it up, but you can keep the faggio up for entire stretches of road with no problem.

Just wish I knew that before I spent all that time going up and down the stretch in Broker with a Sanchez trying to get the achievement. :|
 
The Futo is actually quite good, comparable to the Blista Compact.

Yeah, that's another one I'm always keeping an eye out for. You always see them driving around Alderney city.

So I've been trying out the Huntley Sport since a few of you seem to like it. Speedy enough, handles okay and I'm loving the sense of weight it has, but damn that thing is slippery. Doesn't take much to put it into a slide, god forbid I actually touch the handbrake. For the first time since I was still getting used to the driving I'm sliding side-on into walls again. Couple of times I've flattened pedestrians against a wall going a little too fast, not particularly pleasant. :eek:

Edit - Oh, another awesome little car, bit like the Blista Compact/Futo but a bit sportier - the Ruiner.

I want to drive the Cognescenti a bit more. It looks like a neat car.
 
It's shit. Pretty slow and corners like a rhino... with hemmoroids.

My favourite. :E

Also love the Faggio and the Cavalcade.

EDIT: Since when did the Sanchez become so shit? On that mission where you chase some guy on a motorbike for Gerry and I fail because the bike keeps being sucky.
 
Shitzu NRG 900.... not great at cornering but nothing else can weave through heavy traffic nearly as well.

It also looks like its meant to be an ingame representation of one of my favourite bikes... the Suzuki GSXR1000

I can't remember what my favourite car is, it looks similar to a Mercedes, it is available in convertable and hardtop and is fast, handles well and is fun to drive. Man I love that car...

I'll get a pic when I can (it begins with a T)
 
^^ Feltzer maybe?

I now love the cop cars, really fun to drive :D

Also, nothing beats getting in a big ass truck gaining 3+ stars and going on a rampage.
 
I haven't played GTA IV yet but my favourite car in the GTA series is the Banshee (except the VC version).
 
Gave the Futo (Corolla AE86 2-door coupe?) a drive last night.

Its definitely a drift car :D
 
What's the name of that car the blackmailers are driving in the 2nd Bernie mission (or 3rd, one of them)? I stole it and got it fixed up after they were finished with it but lost it, would like to know what it was called.
 
I was driving around the Feltzer today and I'm really beginning to like that car. It's fast, zippy and looks nice. And yeah, Minister, the cop cars are really fun.

Yeah, the Feltzer is great, but I've never seen beyond the first island though.

My new favorite car is the Turismo, awesome beast :)
 
I gotta say I enjoy driving the Infernus, as well as the Aston Martin look-a-like, I think it's the TurismoGT, or something.

Oh, and the thread author fails at making an easy alliteration in the thread title.
