How about small car with a big A** Attitude. Mini Cooper S! I fancy recreating the Italian Job Minis and the Herbie 53 Love Bug VW Beetle Bug.
 
I've only driven a few cars but I think they fixed the transmission grinding issue in cockpit view. You still start off with 4% transmission damage, though.
 
My tx wheel is not being recognized after the update, Anyone else having the same problem?


Edit: Fixed!

Tried all the cars without any modifications on Rivals at various tracks, overall I like the car pack, a solid start.

The Rebellion is just brilliant fun, I was just going to do a few laps at Silverstone and ended up driving it until it ran out of fuel!

Took the Honda F1 car round the Nordschleife for about 4 laps, got some decent photos of it literally flying into the entrance of Flugplatz. I got bored of the Merc at Watkins Glen - I'm probably being incredibly harsh on the car here but I just didn't get into it, I'll going to try it again at a different track.

The Caparo just isn't the type of car I like to be honest and it was pretty much as I expected, I did enjoy the acceleration though. Hockenheim is really growing on my as a track now, I never really liked it due to bias/nostalgia for the old track but Forza 6 and Project Cars are making it grow on me, could be my new go to test track.

The limo is mental, the potential to go mad with a tune is quite exciting, it's pretty fun in stock mode too. The Nissan is quality! I had an absolute blast around Sebring with it, I'm going to be spending a lot of time in this particular car I think.

My favourite is the Volvo though, sad I know but this car is going to be great in E class rivals for me, pretty much the only thing I'm doing at the moment in the game.
 
I remember that car from Gran Turismo 2, loved driving it, might have to pick up this pack.

Memories.... so many wonderful memories. :D

Goshdarnit.. I want 60 fps replays in FM! *stomps foot down*
 
I feel the update only scratches the surface, unfortunately. Despite addressing cockpit camera positions, several cars still suffer from bad POVs or FOVs. It's time to add an option for players to adjust this! The update also highlights "numerous additional car improvements and corrections", yet there are still tachometers displaying wrong RPMs. I'm not ungrateful about getting a title update, but I think they need to try harder.

I also think the DLC has been disappointing so far. The Fast & Furious Car Pack divided players in two camps, i.e. they either loved it or hated it. Now the Logitech G Car Pack arrives without making a serious effort to recognize popular demand. The race car additions are decent enough, but the Volvo and Cadillac are poor attempts to satisfy fans of road cars. The next car pack needs to be very good, or I'll probably begin to regret buying the Ultimate Edition.

One question... How do I get the game to recognize the Infinity Q60? It's locked with blue DLC letters under 'Find Car' and it's not even visible from the 'Rent Car' screen under 'Free Play'.
 
The limo is surprisingly fun. :D
I agree. I don't think I have laughed that hard at F6 since it has been released. Drifting and racing in this thing is an absolute blast. Honestly one of my new favorite vehicles in Forza. Laughed so much using this thing last night. Especially with my paint job for it. I am going to try and dial in my drift tune over the next day or two.

I am ashamed to admit this is the only vehicle I had time to drive last night. Spent hours painting and just having fun with it. Absolute blast.

No car pack is going to please everyone, obviously it comes down to personal taste whether you like the cars they offer or not (personally I love the Volvo and Limo). I feel like the vast majority of people (on this forum at least) have been very happy with the car pack. I'm not sure what you mean by popular demand, Turn 10 would not be able to give us each and every car we have ever asked for. There are license restrictions first and foremost.

In short, this car pack is very good to some. It's all relative.

Yes, it comes down to taste and my post intended to suggest mine. As for popular demand, I mean cars that frequently appear in wishlists. I bet most of these cars didn't.
 
Nothing in the pack really jumps out at me but most are ok. I could do without the limo though. IMO that one was a waste of time to create, time that would have been better spent on something else. Then again i could say the same about a few that were in the base game. I guess all of them have some fans out there but some of them are just out of place the limo being the most recent of those.
 
Why is it out of place? If you wanted to do that to a limo in real life, just how doable would it be? At least here it's good for curiosity sake. I really enjoyed the Honda last night, but I also enjoyed my quick time with the limo.
 
Meh, the limo's no more out of place than a bunch of WWII era vehicles or a VW Bus.

A couple years back, either EVO or CAR did a hilarious track event with unusual cars. A limo, a double-decker bus, a black cab, a Sinclair C5... it was madness. And it was one of the most entertaining articles I've read. It was certainly more memorable than the umpteenth hot hatch comparison of the year, and I love me some hot hatches.

Fun is fun, but fun is different for many people. T10's trying to appeal to different groups, and I don't see a problem with that. If the entire pack was full of cars like the limo, I'd understand the complaints.

I understand what you're saying. The limo doesn't work for you, so you consider it a waste of time. But I enjoyed it. For me, it's a ridiculously entertaining car to customize, paint, and yes, race. Different strokes for different folks.

I decided to have a go at some online racing last night with a friend. Had a few good races in my B class F355, until the typical idiot in a Raptor decided to ram people.

Nürburgring full at night is an awesome experience.

Also, the limo with the 5.9L Racing V8 swap is really fun in C group with stock tires.

I will probably take it out for a spin since it is there and it may even be fun but it really doesn't fit the game and if they did it right it should have some real trouble on some tracks. I can imagine a limo trying to take a hairpin corner and needing to stop, backup, and try again due to the long wheel base and incredibly poor turn radius that would cause. If the physics are done right on it then it could easily be the worst driving car in the game.

Edit: Thinking of long wheel bases maybe they will give us an old school bus next, one of the big full size ones from the 60s with the long wheel base and dualies on the rear. That would fit about as well as the limo

For one that praises a game that has a car list full of quirky and oddly driven cars, your take on the situation just strikes me as odd.

loosen up a little, It'll be fun. Not every single car added to the game has to be a race restricted vehicle, or some sort of sports car. I'd love for them to add oddball vehicles, as well as lower end vehicles that you would never think of racing. Brings some nice spunky attitude towards the game.

I like odd ball cars and lower end cars as well but the limo not so much. It is there so it is what it is but I would have much rather had almost anything else in its place, even the school bus ;).

I understand, as I am actually the same way with full on race cars for the most part. I prefer road vehicles, be it the odd ones, or sports cars. Still, to say it has no place in a racing game only detracts from that very game I was mentioning.
 
It doesn't handle particularly well, but compared to a 'generic' limo based on a Crown Vic or Town Car it's pretty good.

Will plough on into the sand at The Corkscrew as you'd hope if you don't slow it down. It won't lift-off oversteer easily, either as the sheer length stops the rear from going light in most instances. You might not like its inclusion, but it drives as you would expect a modern limo to drive.
