Bruckell LeGran

 

Here's my list and brief explanation for each:

Bruckell Moonhawk - Malaise era goodness, great for either a highway cruiser or sleeper (also some nostalgia from when I first bought BeamNG)
Gavril Grand Marshal - I love boaty fullsize sedans
Bruckell LeGran - Started using ironically, but (sadly) fell in love with its (lack of) charm. Great for general hoonery
Burnside Special - Such a beautiful car, great for cruising
Hirochi SBR4 (ICE) - The most unique car ingame, and is an absolute blast to drive
Gavril Bluebuck - Likely the most customizable car ingame (other than D-Series), good for leisurely driving
Ibishu Miramar - Quite possibly the best handling track car in BeamNG
Ibishu Pessima ('89) - A great sleeper
Gavril D-Series/Roamer - Grouping together due to driving dynamics, durable vehicles with lots of customization
Ibishu Hopper - Fun with the V8, but I don't do much off-roading
Ibishu Covet - Sporty little hot hatch
Ibishu 200BX - Fun and good handling when tuned right
ETK I-Series - It's athletic, just not really my type
Hirochi ESBR - Really just an SBR4 but without the braaap stustustu, also doesn't really look as good
Autobello Piccolina - I mean it's an excellent little economy car, but it's just not really my type
Gavril Barstow - It's a muscle car, not really too much more to say
Wentward DT40L - Really high quality, but I don't need a bus too often
Gavril T-Series - It's a big truck, and that's pretty much it
ETK 800 Series - Not really enough customization, not a big fan of the styling either
Civetta Bolide - Not enough customization, handles like it's on ice without the wing
Hirochi Sunburst - Textures and engine model are in need of a touch-up, but fun in all other regards
Gavril H-Series - Seems like upfits took precedent over making a fun van
ETK K-Series - Feels like an 800 Series with two doors and more disappointment
Ibishu Pigeon - Seems a bit like a joke added in early development, not really touched since
Ibishu Pessima ('96) -

Spoiler: Pessima Rant

Everyone has one thing in this world that they have an irrational hatred for, and for me, it is the Prozac pill on wheels that is the second gen Pessima. Stylistically, it looks like it just wants to be put out of it's bubbly misery. Handling wise, its suspension options range from "I forgot to take my Viagra" to "Almost as athletic as a 40-year-old man who lives on unfiltered cigarettes and Big Macs". The engines are also disappointing, with the choices being sad, sad, or about as fast as a toddler with no legs. The interior looks like it's a place for listening to "Now That's What I Call Music! 53" for all eternity after the CD gets stuck in the player. It also has carpet that doesn't even give you the courtesy of Brown, but instead, Beige, on every damn interior color option, including black and gray. Going back to the outside, the light textures all look absolutely terrible, with the glass opacity being way too high in front and too low in the back. The chromed grille just looks like it is too tacky to really fit in the car properly. Overall, I absolutely hate this vehicle with every fiber of my body and soul.

 

haha nice joke

 

Wow, so much hate for the poor little Pigeon...

The "600" variant actually makes a really good 3-wheeled sleeper and can do great doriftos.

EDIT: Fun fact, I even got it to drift once:

 

Very good point. In terms of what official car I've spent the most time in, it would have to be the 80's Pessima by far. A distant second may be the LeGran, as its supercharged V6 has better torque than any of the (official) Pessima engines but it's still lighter and more nimble than the Grand Marshal. (not counting tuned or race versions)

 

I really like your Pessima rant. I don't 100% agree with it, but I do think it's very funny

I know this is strange but, Ibishu Pigeon = Favorite, And my least favourite ( You're going to hate me for this.) Gavril Barstow. Why? I just never use it :/ .

 

Moonhawk's my favorite, Wentward is probably my least favorite just because I don't really use it.

 

1. Everything (except)
2. moden ETKs

 

1. Anything Gavril!
-I love American power!
2. Anything Bruckell
-The same reason as Gavril.
3. Wentward DT40L
-It's nice, and it's the only official city bus (or bus) we have in-game.
4. Burnside Special
-I like land barges

---

5. Ibishu Pigeon
-It's a fun little trike to play with. Slap on some stabilizers and now you've got a motor vehicle for your toddler!
6. Ibishu Hopper
-Is it a Toyota Land Cruiser, or a Jeep Wrangler?
7. Hirochi Sunburst
-It does its job.
8. Both Pessimas
-Sedans for the family!
9. Ibishu 200BX
-It's okay.
10. Hirochi SBR4
-It's a quick boi
11. Ibishu Covet
-The original hatch
12. Anything ETK
-I don't use them as often.
13. Civetta Bolide
-The only real supercar we have in-game. Its jbeam is the select jbeam of choice for supercar meshslaps.
14. Autobello Piccolina
-It's okay, but it's kind of forgettable.
15. Ibishu Miramar
-In my opinion, the Ibishu Miramar is the most forgettable car in the game.

 

Favourite:
every car except legran

 

I'm really surprised at the divide here, even with how many people in this community only like one type of car.

My favorite car in game is usually whatever has the most content at the time, hence why I often change my profile photo to be whatever the new car in game is. The exception being the K-Series, I love that car even with it's criminal lack of content.

 

From what I can see, there are too many single digit votes that are splitting the vote amongst the favorites, for any one of them to come out resoundingly on top. An interesting mix.

On the other hand, the least favorite seems to be much more polarized and unanimous. The poor Ibishu Pigeon isn't feeling the love at all! LOL
I suspect too many people have had bad experiences at the hands of meter maids, for expired parking meters, who drive little carts that look an awful lot like the Pigeon. Thus, psychological association can really affect people's like or dislike for pretty much anything in life.

 

I'd be interested to know why people hate the pigeon? in my opinion, it's fun to thrash around italy of ECA at full throttle, and try not to roll it.

 

Well, it's not what the original instructions said, but everyone else is doing it, so here goes, favorite to least favorite:

Ibishu Pessima (80's) - Typical 80's Japanese sedan styling (which I love) and a variety of cool 80's options like turbos, AWD, and AWS, it captures my imagination like no other.

Bruckell LeGran - Typical 80's GM FWD sedan styling (which brings back nice memories) and the supercharged model actually handles pretty decently.

Ibishu Pessima (90's) - Not as exciting or groundbreaking as its 80's counterpart, but still solid and decent and reminds me of cars a lot of my friends have had, and the V6 Sport in forest green is the closest car in the game to my own 1998 Nissan Maxima.

Gavril Roamer - Surprisingly decent handling for a traditional full-size American SUV, and more versatile than the longer, lower Grand Marshal.

Gavril Grand Marshal - The final evolution of the traditional full-size American sedan. A bit heavy to whip around a race track, but fun for what it is.

Gavril H-Series - A big American van, what's not to love?

ETK K-Series - Fast, luxurious coupe that's easy and fun to cruise around in.

ETK I-Series - Typical 80's European sedan styling and handling, what's not to love?

Bruckell Moonhawk - Quintessential slice of 70's Americana, what's not to love?

Autobello Piccolina - Funky and fun in tight spaces, and the closest (official) car in the game to a classic VW Beetle.

Ibishu Pigeon - Cute and funky piece of Japanese automotive history.

Ibishu Miramar - Fun and historic and the smallest RWD sedan in the game.

Ibishu 200BX - Great looking and I like what it represents, but as far as actually driving it it just doesn't seem that fun in the game compared to real life.

Gavril Barstow - A good representative of the historic American pony car or muscle car class, but it just feels heavy and unbalanced to drive.

Gavril D-Series - A good, solid, versatile American pickup truck that I'm glad is in the game, but most of the time when I want to drive something like that, I pick the Roamer or the H-series instead.

Ibishu Hopper - Cool and fun for what it is, but I usually end up choosing the Roamer over it.

Hirochi Sunburst - A fun modern compact sedan that's smaller than the Pessima and more powerful than the Covet, but the styling is a little too funky for my taste. I love the fact the French Gendarmerie drives them though!

Gavril Bluebuck - Good for what it is, a big historic American sedan, but the handling is too sloppy for me to actually enjoy on a regular basis.

ETK 800 Series - Fast and easy to drive and a variety of options, but just too modern and high-tech for my taste.

Ibishu Covet - A dang near perfect copy of an 80's Civic which I love, but like the 200BX, it just doesn't feel as fun in the game compared to real life.

Hirochi SBR4 - Like the Sunburst and ETK 800, it's great for what it is, but just too modern and high-tech for my taste.

Wentward DT40L - Very cool to have a bus, but too big and heavy for me to use on a regular basis.

Gavril T-Series - Very cool to have a big rig, but again too big and heavy for me to use on a regular basis.

Civetta Bolide - Nice for what it is, but supercars like these are largely overrepresented in computer driving games and it's fun to have a chance to drive a hatchback, van, pickup truck, etc. instead.

Burnside Special - Again, nice for what it is, but just too big, heavy, and slow for my tastes, when I feel like driving a big historic American car I usually end up picking the Moonhawk or Bluebuck instead.

 

SBR - nice variety between the petrol and electric versions, good enough handling you can chuck it around and not get in trouble. turbo rabbit versions also look kickass.
legran - like many people have said, the V6 versions are a blast to drive, the sport is especially fun to cannonball around Primo's american road map.
pessima - heaps of tuning potential in an old grocery getter, what's not to love?
pickup - plenty of customisation, I love taking a crew cab with the track suspension setup around at ridiculous speeds.
super - the 350 is another of my favorite cars to drive, it seems to oversteer in such a predictable manner for an MR car.
autobello - nice variety in modifications, the turbo makes for an awesome "backyard hotrod" version with sketchy handling.
Hopper - good potential for a "hop rod" that can roast all the tires at 200kmh.
miramar - the GTz, like the bolide, is one of those cars that I can somehow just predict how it handles, making it really fun. pigeon - a fun car to thrash around and try not to tip over while taking 100+kmh through faster corners.
etki - the knallhart is one of those cars that is fun to do a full lap inside gridmap while laying four non-interrupted black lines on the ground all the way around with you.
Bluebuck - taking the lowrider stupid places is fun, and the drift variant is pretty controllable.
ETK800 - a nice, typical modern car, and it's possible to make a 500hp sleeper version, which is nice, though "mo powah babeh," as the cool kids call it, would be welcome.
moonhawk - a good entry level muscle car, I currently use it occasionally, though more variants for it would be awesome.
hatch - the lack of power and fact that it's a good chassis kind of makes it boring to drive for me.
barstow - I'm kind of bored of it, I used to use it so much.
citybus - kind of slow, though I like using it in police chases, and the bare chassis is an interesting thing to drive.
burnside - an overall nice looking car, could do with some more customisation and a more interesting drag config.
coupe - a kind of cool car, but I can't get the chassis to respond well to high power, it always seems to break traction too easily to be fun on keyboard.
semi - I don't use it that much, other than the occasional rolling-trailer-load-up.
midsize - the v6 makes a good engine swap, but other than that, I don't really like it that much.
fullsize - has some good customisation, but it's not as interesting as the D series to me.
van - might go up the list after they properly revamp it.
etkc - to me, this is an etk 800 without the cool factor of being a wagon.
roamer - a top heavy D series with less customisation. makes sense for it to be in the game for variety, but it just isn't good to drive.
Sunburst - I want to like it, but the interior especially is so awful I never want to drive it.

damn, this makes me realise how many vehicles there are in this game. last I checked there were 10.

 

I think people hate the Pigeon because it feels pointless, is a development joke, or it's slow. Maybe I'm wrong though.
