. I'm sorry, but I can't recall GT3 AI either being this easy or this annoying, and they actually know how to drive cars well. This is the reason why at least I prefer GT3 over any other GT game I've played
But in the corners is when the AI is at it's worst. 80% of the time you will be faster than the AI around corners even if they are using faster cars than you. They break too much at the apex and take their time going around corners; you try going around them but you only end up in the barriers/grass/sand. But if you try to get them on the inside, they just end up taking the whole of the inside line and you will rear-end them loosing precious speed

It's for none of those reasons. And also it's not just Americans that prefer GT3 over GT4 and 5. I prefer it too and I would give up both my GT5 and GT4 disc just to have GT3 back again. GT3 set the bar on which every GT game should be like, a good balance between realism and fun while providing a challenge for experienced racers and not being too hard for casual racers.
In GT3, the game actually challenges you while in GT4 and 5 you become financially independent way too quickly. I spend money in GT5 without even realizing it. One more bad point about GT4 + 5 is that the AI is too easy (not so much GT4, mostly GT5) and I'm pretty sure most people will agree. I mean, when you're about to overtake a CPU controlled car in GT5, you can hear them lifting off the throttle and they just let you through as if a blue flag was waved at them.

EDIT: I also prefer GT3 because it seems finished unlike GT5. GT4 also seemed finished and it actually wasn't too bad. But the only thing that's occupying us in GT5 is half-🤬 seasonal events which also contribute to being financially independent too soon in the game.
Yes, as far as driving physics goes, GT5 is much more realistic and better than GT3 but that wasn't the point that I was trying to make. Plus it's not just the realism which creates an impression of what a racing game is like. If every single racing game was purely focused on realism, then they would all seem very similar in style and would become boring.
Yes, wheels will make you faster but this isn't always the case. You will always have people using controllers that could give wheel users a run for their money. But even so, on straights a wheel or controller will make no difference on how fast you are. If you get near to an AI controlled car then you can literally hear them lifting off the throttle and I'm saying that this is ridiculous. No other AI in other games does that for sure
