Yep, I bought it when it popped up in the used car dealer, black Vauxhall Vectra. (Dads car)

Nope, hell the brands of our current cars aren't in the game (Kia & Saab).
I don't mind that my Kia's not in, but the wife's Saab is quite sporty.

I did used to have a slightly newer version of GT5's 1979 Honda Civic, but that's the only car I've ever owned from these games.
 
1993 Mazda RX-7 Type-R √
Although they have the 1993 Mazda RX-7 Type-R itself, mine looks identical to the 1992 Efini RX-7 Type-RZ. I even have the red RZ stickers for the C-Pillar but I haven't put them on yet.

2002 Mazda Miata LS √
2000 1800 RS is the same. It still doesn't come in Emerald Green Mica like mine, but Excelent Green Mica from the 95 VR-Limited worked perfectly.

1988 Honda CRX √
They only have the 1991 CRX SiR but it's close enough, especially since mine has a B16B in it. Now I just need to find a Kaiser Silver Metallic NSX for the paint code...

1993 Ford (Mazda) Probe GT X
Not yet... For those that don't know it was designed/built by Mazda. I doubt it'll ever be included but it really was/is a great car. I'd settle for an MX-6 LS or even a 626 (Same platform). They do have the Lantis/323F which has the 2.0L version of the Probe's 2.5L V6.

1995 Toyota Previa LE S/C X
Nope... It has a supercharged 2.4L DOHC inline-4. It's mid engine rear wheel drive with 50/50 weight distribution and has McPherson strut front and proper 4-link rear suspension! In Japan they even had the option of IRS! If any van should be in a racing game it's mine! They have the Odyssey and some trucks/SUVs... I can dream can't i?
 
Yes. Daihatsu Copen. Several variants, but all with the japanese K-car spec 0.66l engine. European version has a 1.3l Toyota engine and a higher interior quality.
 
Yes, but unfortunately as a standard model, and mines not the SiR. My friends is also in the game (again as a standard model and it's the J model, his is a U.K car.)

Mines on the left, and my friends on the right.

Here's a better picture, and yes, I know it needs a wash:

I have a 2010 Tacoma but not the x-runner --mines for getting dirty, not going fast 👍
 
I have purchased all of my previous IRL cars in GT5 (with the obvious exception of the e30 bmw), And modded them to roughly the same specs that I have built my IRL cars.
my garage has

A white 300+hp st165
A Maroon 350hp st185
A white 450+hp jzz30 soarer
A silver 500+hp aristo
And even one of my future cars. An FT86 Turbo G's
 
Yes, mine's in there... several times over.

Far less twitchy in IRL and they really don't seem to have got the vtec surge and noise quite right.:grumpy:
 
Check out my profile pic for my real "car" and due to the fact that there is a gokart in the game then yes my real car is in the game, it isn't the same type of kart however close enough.

That's like me saying I have a car, but its not the same type of car but there are cars in the game so close enough.
Basically you don't have a car in the game.
I have a kart too, but I don't consider it in the game.



Wish PD spent more time on cars that weren't 10+ iterations of the same generation. Then I'd see the likes of my 2006 6.0 GTO. I guess I'll just gawk at the Premium Prius'
 
Z3M Coupe...except mine is from 2001 and therefore uses the S54 engine and not the S50 engine like de 1998 featured in the game. Euro Version!!!
 
I bought Prelude in game and mentioned that it reminds how the real car drive in basics.

In real life it has almost neutral behavior and doesn't show too much understeer, something what people don't expect from FF car. Also it's easy to handle. And in game it drives like this
