As for my picks;

Best - VW Caddy

It gives you the best of everything really. Sure the truck's bed isn't massive, but it's large enough to hold everything you need. It's plenty fast even with the standard diesel engine and gets excellent fuel economy with that engine as well. I think it's also the best vehicle to drive as well. Even with bad tires, it's still very stable and not really prone to spinning out or rolling over. The only downside I can really think of is that stuff in the bed that isn't secured can get easily flung out if you crash or go too fast over a bump. Otherwise, the Caddy is a great vehicle in all areas.

Worst - Dacia

I'd be a bit tempted to say the sedan variant of the Trabant here but honestly, I'd rather be stuck with that than the Dacia. This thing is nothing special in terms of practicality, fuel economy or speed but what makes it awful is the suspension. Because it's so soft (and because of the game's wonky physics) this thing can get sent flying into the air over even the slightest bumps. I really do feel like I spend more time crashing than driving when I get stuck with this car.

From best to worst I’d rate them:
-Trabant 601
-Plymouth Fury
-Lada 2101
-Škoda 100
-VW Caddy
-VW Golf
-Trabant 601 Universal
-Lada 2105
-Lada 2102
-Dacia 1300/1310
Some are hard to rank cause they are so different from each other but overall I’d put them in this order personally

IFA W50 all versions are great to be honest there not bad even if its just a frame you find
Foxtrekker Mar 22, 2022 @ 10:51pm 
Fury-great overall but gas guzzler
2105,2102,2101-pretty solid just lacking power
VW-good power to weight but a bit too twitchy handling
Dacia-fwd a little tricky off road
Skoda-don't really prefer rear engines
Trabant-but why
IFA-good all around but needs the v8 or the bus engine to go the distance
Bus-only if i'm stranded in the desert to take me to find a car and if i don't have to drive it

IFA flatbed with the V8 in. Fast and very smooth to drive.

VW pickup is the ONLY vehicle

I personally like the lada, because ive always loved the look of that car.
The 4 door station wagon because VERY MUCH ROOM
whichever the rear engine car is because i think its unique and interesting
The newest car, that american sedan from like, the 50s-70s. dont know exact year. because i have always loved the look of those cars

Honorable mentions
Pickup because it runs on diesel, also interesting, gives you a ton of starting range since you have diesel tank in basement. probably one of the best cars for just grab-a-few-items-and-go-to-find-another-car
The thing with the sunroof because it has a sunroof

The Caddy is the safest of all and very fast with a truck engine.
You might say, dy-no-mite!

...unless that is, you don't like climbing mountains at 100 kph.

I think the best vehicle is either the Lada wagon or the standard bus. Lots of storage, Fairly slow so you don't die when you hit the poles... the worst vehicle in my opinion is probably the trabant (2-stroke engine and a tiny, useless trunk) or the bendy bus (waayy too big for any practical use)

yeah i have no idea how to control that thing.

yeah i can move it, but its really REALLY uncontrollable.

Theory- game takes the inputs of every player currently using the broom, mixes them up, and sends it to everyones broom

IFA and Bus are the worst, because they are the best. Seriously, no matter how hard I try, no matter how much I make myself dedicated to a vehicle or a meme run, I eventually wind up switching to one of them, and cannot leave once i have it. For no matter how exciting the climb is, we must all reach the top of the mountain eventually, and these vehicles are the summit.

They're big, they're chonky, they have metric tons of storage space for my supplies and my ever growing army of chihuahuas. I just wish I could get more engine power so I can actually attack a decently steep cliff with a trailer.

In all seriousness though, @#$% The broom, literally no storage capacity, and I keep doing barrel rolls into the ground if I doze off for more than a second. Plus I can catapault myself dozens of feet up a wall if I need to, so I don't need to fly. I just wish the water towers actually had something inside their otherwise inaccessible hollow second floors. That would make the broom pretty nice ngl. The *only* upside is that it is the only flying vehicle (other than my Fury after colliding with a random rabbit/rock at max speed lol).

I'm pretty sure I just switched to the 2105, and stuck the giant engine with 2 air intakes on top of it. works pretty well. pretty stable, even with a bunch of stuff on the roof
