Default xA in GT4

Anybody use the xA in GT4? I didn't think it handles quite as well as my real car. I know its not gonna be 100% spot on but IMO it was hardly 50% on.

The GT4 xa Sucks. I think they didn't even do half the testing they did on other cars.

You really think they drove all the cars? I would want to if I was them, however I think they would pass on the xA and other grocery getters.

A modified xA in GT4 is actually pretty cool. My only complaint would be that the xA in GT4 is Right Hand Drive and the colors are a bit off.

That..... or you just have a warped conception of your car's abilities and capacities. Crazy thought. That and watching a car do something and being in the driver's seat are two totally different experiences.

Yes,this is true. However, I autocross my xA, so I know it's capabilities first hand, and how it responds at the limit.

And I autocrossed my TT. I may not like its limitations in GT4 but they're pretty close to how the real thing reacted. I'd kind of like to know if they tested many of the grocery getter cars.

Does it seem to you guys like the xB/xA sucks in GT4, but the Vitz is pretty quick?

The Vitz seems to handle SO much better. And they have a Vitz only race in the Toyota Section, but no Scion only race... That sucks

That because they have the Scions in a different section than Toyota.

What gets me is... the xA and xB can't race in Japanese races, but you race against them in the Japanese Races. WHAT THE FRICK? So lame.

Anyway, the xA in GT4 is pretty good, imo. But you have to remember, the stock xA is technically a 4 speed auto ist. It's gonna be pretty slow... I doubt they really paid attention to gear ratios for the 5 speed...ermm 6 speed

Just get a close ratio transmission for it..that will help take care of that.

If you ask me, the Vitz stock is right on par with the xA, basically about that same.

The stock xA in GT4 is pretty similar. to the real life version. I mean, obviously it's nothing super spectacular.

Man, I loved the Vitz in GT3, after I modded it nicely. It was veyr fun to toss around. I don't think the Vitz is as fun in GT4/

Nobody likes them j/k The TC just barley came to the market late 04. The game was probably in its last stages by then. Sorry, maybe GT5. :D

My GT4, 183hp xA tops out at 142mph and thats on the stock transmission. Without ASM on and with traction control set to 1, it's a joy to throw around curves.

WHOA! How'd you do that? The one time I saw the xA in GT4 it was marked as an Toyota ist, not a Scion xA.
