Best starting 70s car?

[Sir Tophattingson]

The 70s cars, being RWD, are a huge step up in difficulty from the 60s. Which of the 4 avalible is the easiest to use?

fiat 131 or the opel.
well, basically everything besides the stratos.
stratos is a ♥♥♥♥♥

Nagrom, I don't think that guide had that section updated to account for v2 physics.

But the Stratos is a Stratos, and really ****ing quick if you've got quick reflexes, I started with the 131, then the Stratos, got the Opel on its release and then the Escort last, which is probably the one I have the hardest time with

[danielhoglan]

imho the opel is the easiest, then 131, then SURPRISE stratos and then the escort, but these two last cars are close in difficult level and it depends on personal preferences. again imho

id try escort mk2 or fiat they are both pretty nice.set the differential to the strongest setting.

Go for the Kadett - the fiat is good, but it has a bigger wheelbase and it's harder to drive it in Greece. Kaddett feels like a rocket, but the Escort is underpreciated as well [you need to steer lightly with it].

The Escort drives like a dream. What the hell have you guys been smoking before getting behind the wheel?

There's no "easiest" RWD. They're all challenging. The Stratos is the fastest though and by far the most fun.

[Fleshmeister]

Love the escort so far. Really fun

stratos if you wanna post "this game is hard" threads :)

the kadett is very easy to handle. so far I am leading the master championship with 49 points lead (4 wins). I litteraly smoked those guys. Once the kadett is setup right, it is quick, very quick.

[dgeesio & ronMctube]

kadett is fast but i think the stratos takes it . before the opel was quicker. the stratos though is alot harder to drive fast.

I think you would be right on the fact that the Stratos is likely faster but when it comes down to easier car, the kadett has the speed and is not trying to kill you. I think I will get back into the Stratos and try locking the rear differential the same way as the kadett and add some camber to the rear to stabilize it.

I think it depends on each and every one's driving style. For example, in Group B (AWD), I love the delta S4 even though it is a bit rough on the edges, but some people will hate it. Also, Group B RWD, the 037 is a dream to drive whereas the manta is awful to me. So I think it is a matter of preferences.
