Forza Horizon 5: General Discussion

[Edax 76]

Saw a Suzuki Cappucino with some light aero parts on the way home from work when I was on the ring road of Edmonton, about two weeks ago! it looked pretty darn cool!!

I've only ever seen Kei cars on TV, very envious of you bud. I love Kei's because they're different, and I like to embrace different and quirky things in life. Life is far too short to follow the norm, let your freak flag fly and go for it. Would love to own an Autozam or Cappuccino but I'd never be able to drive them lol.

That's just how bad the newest WRX is, it even killed all the action/fun in this subforum.

I came back from the U.S. a few weeks ago and we actually stopped at a Subaru dealer just to see one in the flesh as we don’t get them over here. I was honestly amazed at how dated it felt, but in that regard I actually kinda like it because of that. The plastic cladding also didn’t bother me so much after actually looking at it either.

I've been checking out the Crew 2 as it was dirt cheap and I thought why not give it a go? So I've been checking that out instead.

Doesn't help that I'm not a fan of the new WRX so struggled to get through the playlist this week for once. Usually i jump into it on Friday morning and get to 20 points at least but not this series. This latest one doesn't really do much for me unlike the previous series which I thoroughly enjoyed but that's life. I'm more looking forward to the next update in early October.

I have to admit that after unlocking the WRX I only drove it back to the main festival. I haven't touched it since. No particular reason. I really must take it out on the map soon.

I actually don't mind the addition of the WRX - B Modern Rally is the single most overused car class for seasonals, so it's nice to have something in that class that I haven't already driven a hundred times, even if it is just another Subaru. Plus, it's the first WRX in the game with the modern FA24 engine instead of the old 90s EJ25 that STi clung onto, so at least there's something technically interesting about it to balance out its less than lovely looks.

This is it for me; it basically is a WRX (which is snoozeville to me), but it's a WRX with an all-new engine. Shame it's actually less good PI-wise than the EJ25 WRXes, but I also haven't slapped rally tires on mine yet so I don't know how it stacks up in comparison to the 2019 WRX from the car pass.

Hot take, that 2019 WRX should've gone into Track Toys and I'm tired of pretending it shouldn't have been.

Spotted a wild @Famine while treasure hunting in my new Chaser.

Honestly did a double take when I saw the gamertag.

Ah, I did wonder! I figured I'd go right to leave you some Tanks to smash on the left.

Did The Trial, some photography, collecting, and drove around in my hotrodded Isetta for a bit, and now I have my Chaser. I just wish I could get more than one without waiting a month and paying 20 million on the auction house...something I'm finding increasingly annoying about this game. At least I've broken free of the endless cycle of getting playlist cars I don't care about and will never use just to satisfy my weird gamer need to collect em all.

Also, that new WRX is utterly, utterly uninteresting to me. In the eternal Evo vs WRX Modern Rally war I tend to side with the Evos, but even so I still have all the WRXs...except this one.

My weird gamer need to collect them all never really bothered me much in earlier Forza games, but FH5 is going great (due to taking the gaming laptop with me on holiday, among other sillinesses).

Evidence from the end of last season:

I still get a big smile on my face each week as I drive around in whatever was needed to complete the 20 point reward, and then I usually do a few fun races afterwards just to enjoy myself some more. No pressure, just the weekly bit of fun with cars.

Quite disappointed that the Chaser has no other Aero options other than a pretty meh looking Forza Widebody.

Would have much preferred if they had done a basic fender flare option like we see on the R31 Skyline.

Also - for the 90's month upcoming, I'd honestly be happy if we just got 7-8 returning cars (though of course New-to-Forza machines are welcome too)

I mean the list of 90's cars from previous games is already immense;

1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde
1990 Alfa Romeo SZ Sprint Zagato
1990 Alpine GTA Le Mans
1998 Aston Martin V8 Vantage V600
1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z
1996 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo
1998 Eagle Talon TSi Turbo
1995 Ferrari F355 Challenge
1995 Ford SVT Cobra R
1992 Ford Falcon GT
1995 Honda CR-X Del Sol SiR
1994 Honda Civic 1.5 VTI
1996 HSV GTS-R
1990 Jaguar XJ-S
1997 Maserati Ghibli Cup
1998 Mitsubishi FTO GP Version R
1993 Porsche 911 Turbo S Leichtbau
1993 Porsche 928 GTS
1995 RUF CTR2
1999 Shelby Series 1
1996 Subaru SVX

A series featuring just a few of these would be awesome, especially since some of them have never featured in Horizon before too.

Would love to see this finally make it's way over to FH! (with some track width adjustment too)
