best is subjective, but the most popular are octane, dominus, fennec.

any car can be viable. there aren't really any that give a distinct advantage or disadvantage

but play around and see what you like. some people only drive one car, some people drive different cars every time they play.

The mantis. It takes more skill than any other car but once you master it you can take over the world

Play with the octane and dominus to see what feels best to you. Those are two classics that you cannot go wrong with. A newer car that is actually really good is the fennec, but like some others are saying, the octane is the safest bet.

The best car is the one that feels best to you. :)

There are a few cars that may be harder to use because they have a very unusual shape that doesn't correspond well to the actual (invisible) hitbox, e.g. Scarab, Aftershock, Esper.

But otherwise, use what you like. It isn't that hard to switch between cars, so don't feel like you're locking yourself into a choice. And the difference between cars is tiny (except the confusing shaped ones).

Eventually you'll develop a play style of your own that may steer you toward flatter (e.g. Dominus) or taller (e.g. Octane), but you've got a few thousand games to play before that starts being a concern.

Have fun!

I'm D2/D3 and see mostly Octane and Octane ZSR, but plenty of people use Batmobile, Dominus, and I even see the Merc occasionally. Use whatever you prefer!

Always Octane, until Psyonix actually makes the other families playable.

Octane, Dominus and Batmobile are the cars used the most in order

Try every car and play with the car youre the most comfortable with.

Pro tend to stick to the octane. But Batmobile and Dominus can be found in competitive as well.

I love the jager. If you haven't tried it you should give it a try. Also big fan of the endo

for me the merc bcz its good for demo and in defense

Whenever I get burnt out on octanes and fennec I always got back to the mudCat

I like the jager

backfire! if anyone remembers markydooda talking about it

this is my best car, I've got 15 wins with this car

No, there isn't a "technically" best car in the game.

All weird cars are good, scarab grog smth like that

Scarab... the mentality of your opponents just goes out the window when you clip on them in a scarab.

Octane

There is no "best" car, it depends on which one is more comfortable for you and with which car you play better. The most popular car is Octane.

Merc !

Domino’s ��������

Did yall see the mistake?

I'm always down for a good ol breakdown

I'd recommend the octane obviously, but my first car was the takumi. It's like a mini tank lol

Sports car does consists of slow acceleration but its speed is quite the average as compared to other vehicles. Your opinion on rotator is also good. It is quite good vehicle for me and mastery will completely revolutionize it and it was also my beginner vehicle.

Those cars can't handle a lot of maps, dune buggy is just tricky, but it's a good car, same with the Rally, i would recommend you to use either Rally, Dune Buggy or Muscle Car

Cups are a very bad way to check if a vehicle is good or not

Also buggy wheeling isn't a bad thing

The reason why every1 says sports car sucks is because it accelerates EXTREMELY slowly which makes you pay when you are up against other fast accelerating cars, especially when you reach legendary.
buggy is literally the best early game adventure vehicle and it carries in cups too (thanks to great acceleration) until you get rally or muscle car

Pick a car. I recommend to pick a car you like. You can pick metas if you want but if you have a favourite car other than the metas (Evo 9, R32, R35, etc etc) then I recommend to pick it. Do ask if it is good though. 2. Full tune it. I kinda kept it mostly tuned for a long time. And because of this. I lost a good amount of races. So full tune it if you can maybe do some GhostVS and VS along the way to spice it up.all 80 story chapters. 3. Train. Not rigorous training. But understand the physics of the game and car, how much steering input you need and what not. I suggest using manual ofc. Check some older Reddit posts on how some people shift up and down if you need to. And to train you can use all three modes. Story, GhostVS and TA. I personally rarely used TA but GhostVS, Story and VS helped me a lot. 4. Have fun. It's an arcade game. Not life. Make sure to have fun. People make the mistake of getting winning of losing to their head. I personally love to take challenges. Once I win or lose, it's a good idea to just be happy of the race (if it was a good one) You might meet slammers and heavy blockers and whatnot but don't mind them. I tend to give them all a handshake before I/they leave.

Note: Green button changes camera. Good to check your rearview on cam2 Red button changes mode. When Ur in story or GhostVS. You can swap between Accept VS or Decline VS. while driving. You can enable or disable this to either race against other people or let them vs each other and you do your thing. I personally use decline if I wanna complete a ghostVS or if it's a 5 year old kid wanting to play the game.

Anyways. Have fun. And I hope this helped.

R32 and RX7 FD are the most beginner friendly cars, with the RX7 (and other rotaries) having a shift indicator when it beeps

Tell us what you think are the three coolest looking cars and then go from there.

Do you want to play automatic or manual? RX-7 gets a free shifting indicator which will get you ahead of the learning curve by a massive amount. (I have friends who have maxed out several cars and still don't understand proper shift timings)

If you're super super casual and don't care, automatic is enough to make you better than the majority of players. Most people aren't shifting better than automatic mode, and even those that do, will still mess up from time to time on unexpected losses of speed.

If you don't even care about finishing 90 second behind the best time, why does it matter if you're in a beginner friendly car or not? The recommended cars are 'meta' and for those who want as much advantage as possible. If you want to play in style, go Hiace.

great car , I remember unlocking it for the first time and it was an instant max out

only replaced it with DS-Etense

good top speed

everything else not good

but still , a good pratice car to use before handling the 911 and other quicker b class cars

performance rating : 2/10

importance : 5/10

Its pretty decent for MP2, used a lot in career looks cool in matte black but asides from that no other use ig.

Where's day 4?

One of my first cars I could pass C class car hunts with and a good choice to start MP as a beginner.

From my personal perspective as a Octane main, I actually wanted to main the Mudcat when it came out in the respective Rocket Pass, but even after multiple hours of using it, it felt like i can't get the same hits on the ball and all shots and flicks felt so weak, so i given up on it.

Just for comparison, i also switched to Fennec main for a short time a while ago and it felt pretty good from the beginning.

I hated it

The glowing stickers looked terrible, I would have to make every car secondary black to hide them.

Subjectivity...
