    I always bought the red SW20 as a kid. I thought it was criminal how there was such a cool car for so cheap (and available from the beginning of the game). Then 15 years later I bought a real one. And still feel the same way. There's nothing out there that matches the price:cool ratio of the SW20.

Gran Turismo definitely sells it as a good starter for those who have experience or even those just wanting something more than a Civic or any other hatchback.

    The early Honda Todays have a tiny inline 2 that is mounted horizontally, not a boxer, a traditional inline based on its side. Basically half a 4 cylinder Honda motorbike motor. I am friends with an owner in Japan and he told me the automatic models have a very early very cool CVT style transmission called Hondamatic. (I may be remembering wrong) The later models switch to a traditionally mounted 550cc i3 (limit for kei cars at the time)
    Im a Honda Beat PP1 driver in real life, achieved my dream of a sporty kei car last summer which is quite special here in Canada so Im glad you like it. Im part way of a Beat playthrough of Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero to celebrate buying it (early on my car was basically an exact replica of mine before I needed better aero). I cant remember exactly but one of the special editions the Version F and Version Z had a standard LSD so that may be the difference in GT4 other than the special paint colours only offered on those models. ABS was also available on these special models and was always sold in a package with the LSD so if you want to know if a PP1 has an LSD the easiest way is to see if its an ABS equipped car.

    • @discountfeces
      @discountfeces 6 місяців тому +5

      (had to break my giant comment into several posts)
      Not many people know the car has factory electronically controlled ITBs which as Hondas answer to the turbochargers supposedly coming out on the sporty kei cars they heard Suzuki/Mazda were working on. (The AZ1, my personal favorite was based on a very cool looking abandoned mid engined kei car prototype which Suzuki dropped for the Cappu, which is why I believe Suzuki also sold a rebadged AZ1). With these ITBs it basically starts making peak torque a few thousand before redline and makes peak horsepower at redline so it is a lot of fun to wind out.

    • @discountfeces
      @discountfeces 6 місяців тому +5

      It was designed by pininfarina (the coach builder most famous for Ferraris bodies) and it was the last car to be specially requested and approved by the founder of Honda, he basically gave them a blank cheque to make whatever they wanted the only requirement was it had to be mid engined, a kei car, and I think N/A was a requirement but I may be remembering wrong. it also had a record number of women on the design team and the aero is designed to not mess your hair up with the top down (if youre the size of the average Japanese woman in 1990, im 190cm tall so...) it is a very special car which sounds amazing due to the induction noise behind you and is tons of fun to drive but I sometimes see people dogging on it because the other "fast" kei cars can beat it in raw acceleration.

    the video is really good, deep in information and covers all early and license prize cars, but I wouldn't say it's a comprehensive list. If you check the used car dealers in between completing licences, you can get some pretty good starter cars:
    evos (II,III), which are better than the evo I
    first gen STIs, which decimate the early game, have a lot of potential with upgrades, can access (and be competitive) in lots of events and have a manufacturer event that can be beaten with a stage 1 turbo
    SW20s, but this time the GTS, which is an op starter in gt4, and I'd say quite better than the G-limited, which iirc cannot have a turbo
    there's probably more I left, but these are the ones that come to mind.
    (also STIs can be quite competitive in boxer cup without spending too much money, and you know what that means ;) )

    The Acura DN-X is quite interesting as an early car. It doesn't quite feel right to me in normal races so I haven't used it much, but it's by far the fastest car I've tried so far for dirt tracks. With so much grip on the rear wheels, it's less likely to slide around corners and can even make use of the full 580 HP it can be upgraded to, while others tend to struggle for grip when upgraded to 420-440 HP. Being a NA car, it also has a wider and smoother power band than all the turbo rally cars for better corner exits. The only problems are that it requires a bit of care on the throttle around corners due to lack of VCD, and you need to finish the dirt races before buying any weight reductions or it becomes uncontrollable.

  • @92c900t
    @92c900t 6 місяців тому +22

    Awesome video, as usual, but I'm wondering if you limited to the used cars that are only available on week 1. Because doing even just the B- license will cycle the days and the car list is different every single week. The 97 Camaro Z28 for example is pretty OP, it's available on week 4 and I believe it's under 10K (I could be wrong). Omitting cars that aren't on week one is understandable to keep the video length reasonable, but many/most people won't and don't need to buy a car on week one (the Lupo is free anyways), given you can't do much without a B license.
    I'm planning on doing a playthrough using only cars I've actually owned IRL, which should get me through everything in the beginner and professional hall except for Kei, pre-70s, trucks, boxer engines, and GTWC (although I want to beat the GTWC in a non-LMP).

    • @bobthebuilder9509
      @bobthebuilder9509 6 місяців тому +3

      Yeah seems only week 1 used cars were pointed out. I think at the very least (if we were going for full comprehension and had time for testing) a look at weeks 1-5’s roster would be great, since you need 5 weeks minimum to complete the B and A licenses.
      Honestly since we were also considering S license prizes in the form of the Cougar, it might be cool checking out used cars through Week 12. Still, Yellowbird’s list is definitely pretty comprehensive and in-depth already, so maybe he could do the other starters as another video?
      EDIT: If we wanted to be REALLY overkill we could probably mention used cars you can afford by selling license prizes. I’m pretty sure there’s a couple gems in the early game you just barely won’t be able to afford that could be circumvented with a little boost in cash (or by importing a GT3 save, but in that case why are you still here? lol)

      @@bobthebuilder9509 Yeah, although it's very common for people to get the 3,400 from the Lupo, that would make the video too long. But since the licenses are mandatory anyway, there are a bunch of later week cars that deserve mention. Also think the silver and gold prize cars are an unusual addition, but the 270R is stupidly good for the effort.
      I actually just learned there is a 1970 Honda in the historic showroom for 11K that has enough power to be competitive in the world classics (at least without a Cobra or Buick Special). Would make an interesting starter car.

    Hey Yellowbird, loved the tierlist of all possible starter cars, really showed some alternative choices. Any chance for more of this sort of thing? Like the Used Dealerships in GT1 or 2? Or if not that, a bit more on GT4's listings? The used car cycles show even more hidden gems that could be great to grab, for example checking it after getting a license or two, like alot of players are liable to do, since the scope of this video was the perspective of a new players first choice.

Sure it's too weak for such a gearbox but problem can be solved with an stage 1 turbo and nitrous. With this setup, good driving and some forza tricks you can win the Schwarzwald league A wich is going to give you the most wanted m3 gtr, only with 10 grands. It's mind-blowing.

      As someone that used the RSC raid car in rally events not always sold it or used it in other useful events or suits yeah some people need to truly test them out for their capabilities and tuning potential not always selling and moving on or just collecting and moving on which I do sometimes
      Same with Tuner cars. Many like the OP S2000(always knew it's potential just never bought it and tweaked it but knew from the CPU events it appears in. Seeing speed but not always considered tuning or the handling/weight/grip as I should) or the Amuse one in GT5P (yes in GT4 as well) I always noticed not jused though.
      That or the R32 Golf many k ow for the cheap price, high speed difference that I more so noticed in GT PSP then GT4.
      Same with OP S2000 in GT PSP not so great sometimes as tuning in GT4 or 5 makes it better than GT PSP favourite system tweaks that kind of help but not much. Or I didn't push it enough besides what the opponent selection was and which tracks I used it with I probably used it incorrectly to its strengths.

As for me, I will take 2 option : Lan Evo 2/3 or Impreza Ver.II which can be found almost for 10k and it was really powerful for B License since AI cars are mostly Compacts and Kei cars.
    Every people always have their own preferences and I always go for powerful but cheap to buy. Each Region have different prices on GT Auto and you will have cheapest on Europe but Expensive in US which most of us avoid US version since they are not friendly on early game.

But thankfully cheating in the Kei cup allowed to grind up a bit to win the kei cup races, and eventually i got the pontiac from sunfire gxp concept, now this car with nos was enough for capri rally with a bit of dirty driving. And after upgrades capri rally is easy, which means I would recommend anyone to get this car since it's rather easy to get and allows you to get a bunch of money easily since you can sell the prize car. And I'm not good at racing games either and am on keyboard & mouse. Means anyone should be able to save their playthrough without getting softlocked if they ended up getting stuck with one of the trash starter cars.
