Vehicles with best handling?

[MeltedLemonade]

I really like the Javelina but it drives like the tires are made of soap

I always liked the handling of the green Quadra you get as reward for finishing all of Dino's gigs, but I didn't experiment around much with cars.

What I can say though is that pressing the 'lean forward' button while driving sticks your tyres to the road like glue. Great to avoid the fishtailing but beware of turning at high speeds.

Imo. The Cyber Vehicle Overhaul mod will fix the lack of grip, which will allow you to drive what you want. If you want more grip on a vehicle, then you'd only need to use a notepad, open the car file, and up the lateral and longitude grip values:

edit:
I wouldn't mess with any of the other values though, just upping the grip value will fix any vehicle's traction.

In the settings menu, navigate to 'Controls' and adjust your 'Steering Sensitivity' to your liking. 100 gives you a strong oversteer while 0 understeers the cars to a point that it is hard to take any corners with a bit of speed.

I personally drive in first person only using keyboard/mouse and have the sensitivity set to 25 which is the sweet spot for me personally. This might be very different for you, depending on your driving style and wether you prefer to drive in third person though.

Caliburn. Does exactly what you tell it to do. Gets up to speed really quickly, stops on a dime, generally holds the road pretty well in all conditions.

Do you use controller. I love that car but I’m racing it’s too slippery. How do you take corners with it?

Shion MZ2 is the best handling car. Not the prettiest however.

I mainly use bikes, but of the few cars I've tried I find the one that we get for free in that tunnel (forgot the name) to be very stable on the road, especially considering how powerful / fast it is.

I also like the Porsches!

Counter steer is easy in this game (not like GTA where you spin for nothing).
Use AWD cars like Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech if you don't like oversteer.

Some vehicles like the Javelina, are best for off-road use only. You don't want to race around cleanly paved city streets on studded tires man. You will slip around tight corners if you pick enough speed.

The Rayfield Caliburn is excellent for tight races in city streets. The grip is good and well, it's a very fast car.
I prefer my Quadra Turbo-R for high speed drives. It's grip is not as good but I've learned to control my sharp turns and regulate my speed before reaching these turns.

Gotta respect the speed you're pushing like you would in a real car.
Otherwise, you'll be running into things and spin out of control (like you would in real life).

I highly recommend to use a control pad for driving. How much pressure you put on the gas really reflects how much control you gain or lose with any vehicle. It's mentioned in the game somewhere too.

You'll have city vehicles that are good for cruising around (low engine hum), some that are good for racing and those that are good for off-road (with variations of armor/weapon or standard).

If you intend to travel off-road, use an off-road vehicle, like the Javelina. If you really want to use a Javelina on clean paved roads, practice makes perfect. You'll have to really monitor your speeds before your reach a turn and learn how to control your drifts. So you won't be as fast. It's not easy at first, but with practice, you can actually achieve decent control of off-road vehicles on such roads. I just wouldn't use them for racing or fleeing NCPD.

Anything Quadra handles like a shopping cart with a busted wheel.
I love the look of the Avenger, but it's otherwise terrible. I'd drive it more if it didn't handle worse than that pickup from the Sinnerman missions

Everything else is good, just not Quadra's....

I'm M&K. Specifically, I think this particular green Avenger has better control than the others (at least compared to the chrome one you can buy). But like most muscles cars in any game, the rear likes to spin out of control on a sharp turn so it just comes down to quick-tapping the handbrake once or twice and steering opposite to the turn. Practise makes perfect.

To clarify, I like the car because it's fun to drive - not necessarily the easiest. My comment was more about the leaning forward being useful to help your tyres find their grip.

One that I've really enjoyed driving that doesn't get much of a mention is the Riptide Terrier. Although, you need to complete 15 car hijacking's through Reyes to finally unlock it at an Autofixer terminal. It has great response in turning and acceleration without sliding at all, and it looks nice driving from 1st person view. Only downside is maybe the braking is on the slow side.

After that, of course the Outlaw GTS and Caliburn Murkmobile are nice to drive, and easier to get.

[Tussin The Goat]

I only use motorcycles. This game has the worst driving mechanics in gaming history. Every car drives like it has bald tires on ice.

Also love the understeer, power & weight of the Kusanagi CT-3X Vs the other bikes
