True but the credit boost you get fron the cars I mentioned isn't too shabby either.
Bear in mind I play with rewind turned off so whatever car I chose needs to feel planted, even at high speeds.

So it's Jag, Subaru or Mustang for the XP cars. Any others?
Out of those I think I would take the Scooby.

my current all-arounder is the 2015 WRX STI.
The Audi Sport Quattro. I like it so far and it sounds great. I have some other favorites, but that one seems great at whatever I throw at it.

What's the best place to get their currency gift cards from?
Subaru is a beast and so fun to drive tho
It really is! I'm using it for all the drift zones.
Absolutely not. The those cars don't give xp boosts so it's a waste of time. The Jaguar with AWD, Twin turbos, and a race diff added on is far superior to either of the cars you listed.
Not only will it give you significantly more XP, but the rewards spins you get for leveling up a ton from the race will net you more credits than a credit boosting HE car would.

get the 2004 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII MR and do an auto upgrade to S2.

Anyone else with these issues? I saw people complaining on a few other sites....it's just driving me nuts. The game was fine for the first few hours, then it suddenly developed this random hitching. It happens mostly in free roam, and has happened during drifting challenges too. It's a real bummer because I'm loving the game besides this issue, which is triggering my OCD, lol.
I haven't encountered any gameplay hitching in my 10+ hours of gameplay on XB1. I have the game installed on my SSD though.

I'm getting the same problem, was fine for a few hours, now get that hitch every so often.
No issues minus a 1 time freeze at a barn loading screen thus far on xb1. My game is installed on an external hdd. Have you tried hard resetting your console? (power down, unplug for 30 seconds and then reboot it) At the end of the day the xb1 is a windows machine and you sometimes need to power cycle it to get all the kinks out.

I went through the Upgrade Heroes list, saw the Alfa 155 *-*
...looked at the liveries to see if it would be the bodykit I thought it would be and it totally WAS! The DTM 1993 one (FM6 had the front skirt and the spoiler already)
But it still only does a little over 8,000RPM and not the almost 12,000 the real DTM car did, even though the FH3 upgrade hero version comes with the same hp and displacement as the DTM version. It just has too much torque and of course doesn't sound like this at only 2/3 of the rev range. :/

Probably my Focus RS would be my favorite at both on the street and off road. I just slight upgraded the suspension and made the tires a bit wider. Doesn't really need anything more for me to find it fun.
Though my 2014 Ford Falcon GT F 351, with minor tweaks and kept as A class, and Holden Torana, supercharged and upgraded to B class, are still favorite cars in the game overall.
Good taste right here.

I drive a 2016 WRX (non STI).. I wanted to drive my car in-game, and this was as close as I could get

PC issues aside, this game is damn-near perfect (I'm playing on XB1S now). Love the GPS update (every open-worlder should have something like this, seriously), race variety is fun/exciting, the world is beautiful, radio stations seem much improved over FH2, and progression feels tight. Every minute feels fun.

Yeah, I tried it. Didn't help. I swear this started when I unlocked Groove Music, lol.
I'd recommend one of the natural rally (4 wheel drive) cars, or an off-road vehicle.
I'm hoping I can tune my Audi from the other thread...
...to handle better offroad. It's a beast on the asphalt, but can get really loose offroad.
i've got a corvette (newest one, i think it's yellow in the autoshow pic) that does pretty well with whatever the auto upgrade gives you the max rating at S1 (if i remember right). it does good offroad for me. i have heard the mustang 302 boss (i think that it) is good as well. i have a ferrari 458 i like when i'm not going offroad much.

this game.. this is the game.
Yep, it's awesome that they added the kit but the sound is way off and its performance is off. I still like it though.

Are there a lot of racing newbies or people that don't usually play race sims getting into this?
I watched Easy Allies review and I think it might have sold me. Just wanted to get an impression from others light on the genre.

Been throwing that around the races, suprised how well it handles off road.
The biggest hurdle for newcomers to racers in general is going to be the handling model. It's not your typical arcade racer, and it does take some technique to approach corners appropriately, but it does have a driving line to help out with braking and a rewind feature to minimize frustration.

My 5-year-old son has been so excited for it (so have I). I let him start the game from the beginning yesterday and, after screaming cries of joy as he took over control of the Lamborghini, he actually peed his pants a bit a few minutes in. Not even kidding. He's way beyond potty training too, but as you said... "this game."

It's not a sim, so get that out of your head. You can MAKE it feel like a sim but it's an arcade racer at heart. You can play the whole game without tuning a single car, or just use the auto-upgrade option.
My GF doesn't play racing games but loves just driving around the open world doing whatever. Like, for hours at a time. Gets me lots of skill points!
The Ferrari F12 TDF is a lot better than La Ferrari once you tune it

Damn this game makes my disc drive loud as fuck.
Turns out the Warthog is a great choice in case you need to deliver heavy SUVs

Can you not download games from the Xbox app to your Xbox like with ps4? I'm trying to download the game from the app but it just says "play on Xbox". It's definitely not on the HDD

With the default settings, it's a pretty damn arcadey racer. You have to break for turns, yes, but you'll have an assist line telling you when to do that (as well as traction and braking assists) and honestly, if you're playing on lower difficulty levels, you can just turn by smashing into the cars ahead of you. Every aspect of the game is customizable, so you should be able to make it as arcadey or sim-like as you want. Oh, and if you miss a turn, you have a rewind button. A goddamn rewind button! Hah.
That really is one of the great things about this game - it lets you play it as you want, you're always progressing in some manner, even if you're just driving around the world or placing poorly in races. You'll constantly be leveling up/getting new rides/new events, etc.
It's the perfect racing game to just pick up and do whatever you want in.
