The best car to get first in Forza Horizon 5 depends entirely on which races or activities players are most interested participating in. Choosing the right car for the occasion is an important decision, as Forza Horizon 5 has many different types of tracks and biomes to race on and explore. Each of the starting cars excels in specific types of races, such as road, cross country, and courses with many turns.
Additionally, it’s important to use the right car at the beginning of Forza Horizon 5 because fast travel is costly early on. Until all 50 Fast Travel Bonus Boards are destroyed fast travel will cost credits, starting at 10,000 credits while seeing a cost reduction of 200 credits for every destroyed bonus board.
Forza Horizon 5 offers three cars for players to choose from, namely the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe, the 2021 Ford Bronco, and the Toyota GR Supra. Unlike previous Forza Horizon games, Forza Horizon 5 allows players to keep all three starting cars after choosing their first. Each car has a specific purpose in mind, and players can select either of the two remaining cars by entering the pause menu and selecting “Change Car.” As more vehicles are unlocked, this is the same method players will use to change to every car in Forza Horizon 5.
The Best Cars To Get First In Forza Horizon 5
The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe has the best overall stats out of the three available vehicles to choose from in Forza Horizon 5. Even though the Stingray Coupe lacks the offroad efficiency that the 2021 Ford Bronco possess, this car is one of the best starting cars that the Forza Horizon series has ever offered. This car excels in races that have long stretches of straightaways and a limited amount of turns, although it handles nicely around corners as well. Although the Stingray Coupe falls short of the Toyota GR Supra when it comes to speed, a few small upgrades to this vehicle can put this stat in favor of the Stingray Coupe as well.
The 2021 Ford Bronco is the ideal choice for the players who are most excited about exploring Mexico’s landscape in the Forza Horizon 5 game. The Bronco excels in navigating difficult terrain, as well as the 11 biomes featured in Forza Horizon 5. Naturally, the Ford Bronco falls behind the Supra and Stingray Coupe when it comes to speed, but its offroad stat allows it to perform better than either vehicle in cross country races. Anyone who plans to focus on just competing in the cross country races will need to choose the 2021 Ford Bronco.
The Toyota GR Supra is perfect for tracks that contain a lot of tight turns, particularly road races. The Supra may prove to be a more challenging car to use early on in many of Forza Horizon 5’s modes, but only because it is designed to navigate paved courses with precision. This includes some dirt races that are partially paved with plenty of tight turns. Additionally, the Supra is excels at drifting, and remains one of the best drifting cars available for some time in Forza Horizon 5.
Forza Horizon 5 is available for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S
