Did I missed anything? New guy joined here or someone else leaved like me?
Sleeper. I had a ton of fun in the Renault. More then Christian Horner does. I nearly won two races BEFORE everyone else was on weaker tires.
Yay! I won for the second time!
I want a "boring" Japanese hatchback, maybe from a manufacture that sells mostly a lot of boring, bland and dull cars that bought by people who just want a random car and that's it. It also sells one of the most beloved car ever that claims to be healthy, everyone including car enthusiasts love it.
So I guess you all guessed it, the next week car is going to be...
Small, boring (IMO), cheap looking and pretty much apply to almost every Toyota cars (well mostly).
Wow, check out the obnoxious-painted Vitz that Brad is rocking; that might blind Vic and cause him to have an accident during the online races...
You'd prefer chrome?
Brad, be reasonable...
...obviously you need to paint it in Reflex Spice...
The spice must flow...
...as it is spicy and is related to the Spice Girls.
Guess my Vitz will be getting a fresh paint job in the not so distant future.
Might be Chrome, might be Matte or even Variable Colour, but it's going to be bright by the end of it.
This maybe also the only car in GT6 that has a CVT gearbox that can also have a supercharger. 👍
Edit: where abouts in the 24hr stream was the COTW shoutout?
The first Toyota Vitz hit the road in Japan beginning in January of 1999. In the USA, it was known as the Echo up until 2005, and then the Yaris hatchback took over for the 2006 model year.
The Toyota Vitz F '12 in GT6 comes with a 1.3L engine, unavailable in the USA, which puts out 92 hp / 6,000 rpm and 89 ft-lbs / 4,000 rpm. Weight is just under a ton, at 990 kg (2,183 lbs) and the car is rated at 327 PP.
At Mid-Field on Comfort Softs, the car is capable of running a 1:38 best lap, with a top speed of 100 mph on the downhill section, and 99 mph on the front straight.
Cars within +/- half a second:
1:38.493 - 332 - Toyota Vitz RS 1.5 '07
1:38.651 - 384 - Mini Marcos GT '70
1:38.660 - 340 - Honda Accord Coupe '88
1:38.670 - 327 - Toyota Prius G Touring Selection (J) '03
1:38.728 - 330 - Volkswagen New Beetle 2.0 '00
1:38.734 - 346 - Nissan Skyline 2000GT-B (S54B) '67
1:38.794 - 341 - Toyota Voltz S '02
1:38.831 - 328 - Honda Fit W '01
1:38.952 - 338 - Alfa Romeo Spider 1600 Duetto '66
1:38.969 - 331 - Citroën C3 1.6 '02
1:38.989 - 327 - Toyota Vitz F '12
1:38.997 - 331 - Volkswagen Lupo1.4 '02
1:39.325 - 342 - Honda Odyssey '03
1:39.423 - 328 - Honda Insight LS '09
Closest rivals would be the:
1:35.687 - 347 - Mazda Demio Sport '10
1:36.294 - 350 - Honda Fit RS '10
1:37.699 - 337 - Toyota Aqua S '11
All which are significantly faster than the Vitz. Without knowing the prices offhand, I'm still going to call this car a beater. At least it's over 5.5 seconds quicker than the original Vitz F '99...
Lots of fun last week, let's bring out this week's winner!
Congratulations ToyGTone!
Yay! I won for the second time!
Tell us what you've chosen!

It's the 2012 Toyota Vitz F!

Boring? Not with the right paint job.

And I just realized; the picture that Brad choose for the car isn't a picture of the Vitz F, it's a picture of the Vitz RS! You did it again, American...
You skip a lot of lines...
You also have to get with her friends. Apparently she's cool with it.
I used what was available. RS stands for Reasonably Sweaty, while F stands for Flaccid. Hence why there are no decent photos for the F. Stop being so picky.
Sorry, no can do, that's how I roll when it comes to JDM cars. You gotta be accurate man; would you enjoy if I named Sauber as "Force India" instead? You know that wouldn't fly...
Also, I'm just kidding around, so don't be concerned over my words being wrong, I wrote them in that way on purpose.
Ya know, I slave all week over this thread, while you just come home and plop on the couch, drinking beers and yelling at the kids. I want a divorce.
Oh... nevermind then.
A lot of "Sleeper" verdicts this week it seems, and you know, I would agree....except for the elephant in the room that no one has brought up, the price tag. If the Renault was in the 20-25k credit range I think this would be a pretty respectable, if unorthodox, choice of car. But for 50k credits you simply aren't getting enough car for what you paid for, especially when there are so many cars you could get in the high 400 PP range for that amount of digital money.

Welp, the Ford GT was nice when we had it. But now we're back to our regularly scheduled programming here on "Beater or Sleeper: Front Drive Hatchback of the Week."
