If you're complaining about having to drive the FIT, you don't get Gran Turismo. Sure it's not the same as it used to be where you'd pick out a used cheap car to drive at first, but the idea is the same: don't judge a car on it's name and type, because you can have a lot of fun and develop an attachment to that car through working hard to win with it.

If you watch the hour-long gameplay video that Inside Sim Racing did, you'll see that by the end despite ragging on the FIT they'd both developed some kind of relationship with the car... that's what Gran Turismo is about. It's about working to get that better car, each and every time.
If you're trying to tell us that being the time honoured tradition that many look upon with great nostalgia of choosing your favourite first car, being supplanted by a fixed car choice is "the same idea", I'd say it's you that don't get Gran Turismo. People generally develop stronger attachments to choices they make, not those forced upon them.
 
Good news re Fit front in 1.01:

- With version 1.01 after you are forced to purchased a Honda Fit, you can purchase a different car right away with your 13000 credits left (+5000 if you decide to sell the Fit) without the need to do first a race with the Honda.

Though I wonder what 18k could buy you . . .
 
How's the overall "game" aspect to GT5?

Best GT game ever. I have the 15th Anniversary plus Precision Pack for preordering. Glad I did it. The menus are quick. Arcade Mode setup is blindingly fast. Im happy with the car list. Bathrust is awesome. The physics noticably better. I feel the downforce on Conrod Straight. I use a DS3 but, moving the steering left to right at 255kmh, you feel the weight of the downforce. I missed my breaking point at the Chase and the car didnt stop in the gravel. It kept on going like a real car when it goes off there.

Im not into the Career Mode races, yet, but managing my cars, 37 in total (I bought 8 road cars qith 1million Cr. And have 347K left after adding wheels and full susp. to a Mazda Demio '10 I purchased) is sweet. Im so used to jumping out of the main screen to access options, PD made it so ssimple that everything is right there.

Only bad I see so far are the shadows from trees on the circuit.

Oh, and the damage model. I dig it. My SLS is jacked up but not deformed. Way better than the a$$ up rear from GT5.
 
Hows the downforce levels between race cars? I know in gt5 Super GT's were making the same numbers as the R8 LMS :banghead:

The HSV 15TH Ann downforce levels are Front: 200-400 (default is 300); Rear: 350-650 (default is 550)

R8 LMS ultra 15th Ann Front: 200-400 (default 350); Rear: 400-900 (default 730)
Is that what you're referring to?

That is useful. I might use those 1M credits after all, unless it doesn't tell you how much money you'll have left after buying parts as well as cars.

1 000 000 + 18 000 - 30 000 = 988 000

So 988k is the new zero :sly:
No doubt that buffer would prove awfully tempting, though...
 
Unconfirmed conclusively as yet, but there is 24minutes of Le Mans.
I'm thinking the endurance races might be under the Special Events. We've only seen Goodwood (EDIT: and moon missions) so far and it's more of a real world event recreation than the previous special events were so perhaps that's where the 24hr of Le Mans will be. 👍

What's the 30k for?

And Moon missions.

I think that's the starting amount; so you have 18k "left over" because you start with 30k, buy a Fit for 17k, then sell it for 5k. (30 - 17 + 5 = 18, easy)

If you hadn't have bought that Fit, you'd still have 30k, and our zero would be at 30k - 30k, i.e. zero.

As it stands, with the mandatory purchase, the "original" zero is now at 18k - 30k = -12k, which obviously can't happen.
So, add a buffer: 1M - 12k = 988k.

Clear as mud, I'm sure, I suck at explaining stuff! :)

I suck at math so forgive my confusion.

1million + 30k = 1,030,000

Buy fit for 17 = 1,013,000

Sell fit for 5 and you'll get 1,018,000.

That's how I understand it.

Yes, that's right, but how much of that can you use? That is, if you're going to restrict yourself to the 30k, as I was intending to (I'm thinking now to just try to roll with the 18k for laughs...), then where do you stop buying stuff?

988k is as low as you can go if you want to restrict yourself to the starting 30k, and have that 1M to hand. For how long, I don't know - I guess until the challenge wears off, as it inevitably does. :)

Ah, okay.

Yeah I think I saw some cars that started out at 18k or so. And most people find that the Fit is more than fast enough stock to deal with all the Novice races, and you'll get the Clio RS for getting all golds in the B license. Plus about 50k from all the novice races anyway. So your choice really, stick it with the Fit for 6 races and then win the Clio, or buy a car with the 18k and just upgrade it as you win.
 
Hmmm, so I can sell the fit and have 18k to start with instead. That's the same amount of money you start with in GT3.

Anyway, I have no problem with the Fit RS, so I'll just drive it for a couple races until I have enough for a Ford Focus.
 
If you can sell a car you're currently driving, which I doubt you can.

I think that's what has been changed in the update though. You are made to buy the fit, but in the update you're allowed to immediately sell it and buy a different one, before you do any races.

Ah, thinking about it I could sell it because I had bonus preorder cars in my garage!
If you have no cars, then you can probably only purchase a different car with 13000 credits.

Yep, looks workable, and there's a third possibility, too, it seems: don't sell the Fit and buy another car anyway. I'll have to see what takes my fancy; I can always restart the game if I mess up, although I might turn into the proverbial kid in a sweet shop somewhat rapidly! :D

@archie_aileron As of 1.01, you can sell your only car, @shirakawaa's mention of which is what started this tangent. 👍
EDIT: bah. :dopey:

Hmm, yeah I just saw shirakawaa's post. So if you have any pre-order cars it's possible the way he said. If you don't then you'll have to use the Fit, or buy another car.

And how do I sell the Honda Fit? I had a look in all menus but could not find an option to sell any car.

Don't know, I don't have the game yet. Try in the Start menu. When not in a race you can get a quick menu by pressing start, it can take you to your garage, maybe in there.
 
I think I caused some confusion because I wrote that you can now sell your starting Honda Fit. That likely happened because I had preorder cars in my garage. The actual news was that you can now purchase a different car before racing with it.

go to 'garage' on far screen, then choose 'car list' sell car should be an option. ;)


By the way, post-patch 'Status' menu is so much more easier on the eyes.
 
If you can sell a car you're currently driving, which I doubt you can.
I was able to do that in the first 5 GTs, I doubt that has changed. Plus, I pre-ordered the 15th Anniversary Edition that has 25 bonus cars coming with it.
 
I had mt 15 AE cars in my garage but I still had to buy the fit. Even after choosing a 15 AE car. Once I bought the Fit, then the dealership cleared up and I could buy any car.
 
Not sure if it's a bug... but the Stage 3 engine tuning on the Daihatsu Mira TR-XX increases power from 63 to 230 hp!
Stage 1 increases it to 68 hp, while Stage 2 only to 69 hp. Something weird going on there.

It was the same with me. I wanted to take the AE cars around and just save money from winning races but had to buy the Fit, though after you finish the Sunday Cup the AE 86 qualifies for the next set of races so another purchase isn't necessary.

WHY did you report that... it's gonna get patched and now we will NEVER EVER have 230hp Daihatsus... Shame on you :nervous::(

Shhhh...
Maybe my El Camino will increase by 380% :lol:
 
Is it true that you can install engine/weight stages non-incrementally?

Like just buy stage 3 straight off?
