What are the best and worst cars in Dirt Rally?
Now that every car has been released and brought to proper handling level, I think it is time to find out what community's favourites are and what it thinks is objectivly worst and best cars.

Mine:

Best car : Hyundai WRC. (2010s)
Fast, small, good suspension, good brakes, no oversteer or understeer. Simply the best of everything. Only downside I can think of would be cockpit view. It's to obfuscated by the car interior even on the closest and lowest seat setting available. But that's a minor annoyance.

Worst car: Lancia Fulvia (60s)
Direct opposite of a good car. Big weight and low horse power means that it handles as well as an old schoolbus. FWD makes this car understeer which means you will have to make more effort to get it through a corner and when you do manage go convince this old cow to enter the turn you will have to spend as much effort convincing it to exit said turn, thanks to it big weight (high inertia) and low HP (low ability to counter that inertia). Combine that with the fact that it is the slowest car to boot and you will have a car only purpose of which is to provide some alternative to Mini.

Favourite car: Seat Ibitza (F2 Kit Cars)
Fast, small, agile, everything that a good car should be. It isn't the best car by any stretch; it's slower than modern cars and prone to understeer, but I like it regardless. It's speed is high enough for you to feel you are going very fast and slow enough to still be controlable without paying too much attention to the throttle control. I also have a soft spot for FWD cars. It's nice to be able to activate "get out of jail free" card by hitting throttle and having your car align with the direction front wheels are facing, allowing you to safely escape situations that would have ended in crash on RWD car 100% of the time.

Honourable mentions: Lancia 037 and Stratos. Terrible rally cars, Exellent cars to drive for the fun of it. I recommend disabling HUD, silencing your codriver and picking your favourite track. And then driving simply to enjoy yourself, results be damned.

Most hated car: Mitsubishi Lancer (R4)
Not a bad car but nonetheless hated by me for the 2 facts
1) It's size, I think it's either the longest car in the game or second longest after Opel Mantra. Driving this limousine around Greece and having it every bush and bump on the side of the road is not a fun experience.
2) Cockpit view. Whose bright idea was to put one of the safety car element right in the driver's face?

I like the C4, Lancia HF Integrale and FIAT 131
I agree, Fulvia is quite bad and for the Stratos and 037 keeping the rear end in the back feels like trying to balance a broom in your toe

Citroen C4 for me. Best handling. And a glorious race history in the real world of rally.

All 2010's and most of 2000's are so boring, I keep avoiding them as much as I can. I used to drive them a lot when I was learning the game but now I want something different. I like the beemer, manta, intergrale, S4 and 205 t16 the most at the moment.
