| Vehicle | Class | Justification | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Tuner | The starter king. The Civic Si handles surprisingly well late-game but lacks the raw power output of the larger displacement engines. Often considered the best "starter car" that remains usable. | | Acura RSX | Tuner | Similar to the Civic but with slightly better gearing. Suffers from a "floaty" feeling at high speeds (>230 mph). | | Peugeot 106 | Tuner | A cult favorite. Extremely lightweight, making it nimble on tight city sprints, but it lacks the chassis rigidity for high-speed URL events. | | Audi TT | Exotic | A strange hybrid of handling styles. It has good grip but suffers from severe understeer if not tuned properly. It serves as a "gateway" car between Tuner and Exotic physics. |
