Same goes for some premiums as well. Cant see out the back window of a fair few cars, and others just haven't been modeled.

I'm willing to bet the cars that don't have a rear view are mid-engined. If so, there you go.
By the way, thats again not a unique trait. The Fax machine in that Isuzu Concept or the Map in the Toyota FT-86, those are examples of Unique traits.

Despite the fact that the '02 Nissan Cube lacks a D-Pillar on the side opposite the driver, if you look back in cockpit view, you will find both pillars firmly in place.
Oh, and I think the Isuzu 4200R is the one with the fax machine.
Somehow I got that confused with Suzuki, thanks for the correction 👍

I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but if you look closely at your driver when driving the XJ13 you can see his right foot moving whenever you accelerate/brake. Though it is glitched somewhat (the foot goes through the pedal) it's still pretty neat and shows PD's incredible attention to detail 
This wasn't really about the car but it's a cool feature worth sharing nonetheless

Easier to view this in a go kart.

Not sure if mentioned (didn't go through all pages, sorry). But the Subaru 360 has only 3 gears 
Thought that was kinda 'unusual'
Many interesting oddities mentioned in this thread Keep it up!

The standard cars with interiors:
Chaparral 2J
Caterham Seven Fireblade
Toyota 7 Race Car
Chrysler Prowler
Formula Gran Turismo
Suzuki GSX-R/4 Concept
Also, the C1 Corvette Convertible has 2 gears. (Not that weird though, but still
)

Theres more to that list. I havent driven every one of them but all the open LMP cars should have interior view.
So that would add the Pescarolos, the Audi R8s, BMW V12 LMR, and IIRC the Tank Car as well.

The Chrysler Prowler has a premium interior, and the Suzuki GSX-R Concept has a premium steering wheel.
(I've only read the first 5 and the latest 15 pages so forgive me if I repost some stuff)
- The Lamborghini Aventador's rear spoiler has multiple levels of tilt for increasing speeds.
- The Peugeot 307 CC has the driver animation for shoving the stick forwards into reverse gear. The Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Volvo C30 also have such animations and even have the driver using the respective autostick and tiptronic functions unlike the Peugeot. The electric/hybrid Tesla, Leaf and Prius also have driver arm animations, though the first doesn't have the lever moving from D to R.
Conversely, the Mustang GT and SL55 AMG have no animation whatsoever, despite the latter having a similar autostick function to the Dodge. As a whole though, cars that utilize paddle modes will not be able to shift the lever or press buttons to activate reverse gear.
- The premium Minis are among the few premium sporty/performance cars that are correctly specified as having open differentials. The R35 GT-R correctly has an open front diff as well, though the center and rear end seems to be a normal LSD rather than the fancy torque biasing ATTESA system.
Perhaps this is partly why only the Evolutions have the correct (though artificial ESP-ish feeling as wheelspin feels too controlled) torque biasing AYC-effect. The Evolution X does have a front LSD unlike a R35. Not really sure about the older Evos and R32-R34 GT-Rs though...
- The premium Toyota Vitz uses a CVT but has simulated 'fixed' gear ratios. Thus it drives more like a normal automatic.
(Personally wish I could switch to the normal CVT function though.)
The Insight on the other hand has it's CVT locked to normal drive mode so paddle shifts are not possible despite the driver animation of readying for a shift at high RPM.
- Most Audis are specified with a front LSD but no rear one. Perhaps this gives the feeling that power is being shuffled to the rears as the fronts are less likely to wheelspin freely.
- Part of the reason the R8 5.2 V10 grips so well is that it was given meaningful racecar-lite front downforce. (Around the value of the Viper ACR if I remember right.) Other supercars like the Gallardo and the SLR were given zero front downforce.
Funnily enough, I read some independent-wind-tunnel-test-forum-thing a long while back stating that the actual R8 V10 would suffer more from high speed front-end lift while the LP560-4 would encounter the opposite, rear-end lift at high speed. (200 kph. And for more trivia, a stock C6 ZR1 suffered both front and rear lift at that speed.)
- Despite the existence of the Golf GTi/R and the Scirocco R, the Audi TTS still sounds like the 3.2 V6. Thus I could argue that this is a even bigger 'wrong sound' culprit than the Lamborghini V12s as the correct sound is present elsewhere in the game (!).
- GT5 generally does well with raising spoiler effects (like the Aventador example above). However, there are also 2 screw-ups among premium cars.
The Gallardo's doesn't raise at all while the MP4-12C should have a very mild tilt in certain conditions, though it works correctly as an air-brake. McLaren says that it would tilt in wet conditions, during high speed cornering and if the driver 'requests' it with the interior button.
- On the topic of nit-picking, the older '07 GT-R is the only 'ordinary' R35 GT-R where PD bothered to take into account the slightly different look/design of front versus rear wheels.
- The Leaf appears to be the only electric powered car where the dash displays work. (Including hybrids.)

XJ220 (road car , no idea on LM car). Has a gas like sound due to its twin turbo when shifting gear. Dunno if it has been mentioned or if any other car shares this with a stock turbo. I think this is notable in contrast to how old this car is.

I don't think this have been mentioned, many probably know but for those who don't...
The 5 premium rally cars (the 4 WRC cars and the Group A Celica) have a sticker on the hood, just like in real life where rally cars have a sticker with the banner of the rally event they are participating in. Also the standard rally cars have these stickers, but on the premium cars the banner changes depending on which track you are on. They can show Toscana, Eiger or Chamonix logos, or "Gran Turismo Rally" or something like that when driving on a course maker generated stage. The premium Celica also has a plate with the same banner on the rear bumper.
The Celica is also different from the other rally cars, as it is a Group A car from the 90s. As it was long retired when it was modeled, it is not associated with a particular driver, so when you drive it in arcade mode the driver will get a generic Toyota suit and closed helmet. When driving the 4 modern WRC cars however, you get their respective driver's (Loeb, Hirvonen, Solberg, Gardemeister) suit, face and open helmet.

The Nissan Xanavi Nismo Z '06 is the only Super GT car that has it's headlights turned on when it rains. See what I mean:

Kelvari. It just looks like another variant of the 300SL, Most likely the limited edition SLR version (Unsure of my statement. I thought it was a hack first time I saw it online
Also every single car with active aero: LFA, Veyron, HSR II concept, Enzo, Whatever does that.

If you mean like a dump valve the mr2 gt-s sounds like it has an atmospheric bov from the external view behind the car you can hear it clearly when you lift off the throttle not just change gears. You can probably hear it in chase cam mode because it sounds off next to the raised engine vents on the rear so you don't hear it near the front of the car bug you do at the back.
Though from the factory the mr2 turbo has a recirculating valve that does not sound like a dump valve.
