10 Ugly GTA V Cars To Not Worth Your Time & 10 Awesome Ones That Belong In Your Garage
Fast Isn't Always Fun
In GTA V, looks and speed can be deceiving. You might love how one handles it but hate how it looks. Or buy something flashy that handles like a boat. It's time to sort the disappointments from the must-haves. First up: the bottom of the barrel—the ugly cars that just aren’t worth your garage space.

1. Issi Classic
At first glance, the Issi Classic looks like a quirky homage to the original Mini Cooper, and technically, it is. However, its appeal is niche. As part of the Compacts class, it offers good acceleration but is held back by a limited top speed.
2. F620
The F620 is based on the Maserati GranTurismo, yet it lacks everything that makes the real-world model exciting. Although it has a sleek profile and a respectable exhaust note, its stats reveal glaring shortcomings. The car suffers from mediocre traction and a noticeably slow launch.

3. Regina
Built on the bones of a 1980s station wagon, the Regina is the outline of outdated. It offers no performance benefits and is often mocked for its exaggerated wood paneling and clunky design. Structurally, it has one of the weakest damage thresholds in the game.
4. Rhapsody
Inspired by the AMC Pacer, the Rhapsody is as niche as it gets. While some players appreciate its oddball charm, the vehicle fails to offer any legitimate utility. It has a short wheelbase and exaggerated wheel arches that make it visually awkward and poorly balanced.

5. Faction
On paper, the Faction looks promising with its muscle car artistic and lowrider capabilities. However, the base model severely underperforms. Its V8 engine struggles to deliver speed, and the handling is sluggish compared to its peers like the Sabre Turbo or Dukes.
6. Blista Compact
The Blista Compact has a commuter-friendly look that suggests practicality. It takes design cues from the 1980s Honda CR-X, showcasing a clearly dated aesthetic. Still, the driving experience falls flat, with weak performance that leaves players underwhelmed.

7. Peyote
The Peyote may resemble a classic Ford Thunderbird, but under the hood, it's a disappointment. It's part of the Sports Classics category, yet the Peyote falls flat in every performance metric. Its cornering lacks precision, and its low ground clearance results in frequent scraping on curbs and terrain.

8. Stanier
Often mistaken for an unmarked police cruiser, the Stanier has become a running joke among GTA V veterans. Based on the Ford Crown Victoria, it lacks any distinguishable traits apart from durability. However, even that durability doesn't justify its sluggish acceleration and poor handling.

9. Ingot
The Ingot is best described as forgettable. This four-door wagon is patterned loosely after the Subaru Legacy yet lacks the AWD punch that made its real-world counterpart famous. It underperforms in all essential areas: speed, traction, turning radius, and upgrade potential.

10. Asterope
Based loosely on the Toyota Camry, it enters the Sedan category as one of the weakest contenders. It has no special stats and no presence in racing leaderboards. Notably, its design hasn't aged well, especially compared to sleeker sedans like the Tailgater or Schafter.

You've seen the ones that stall and disappoint. Now, let's shift gears. These next cars don't just look good; they prove their worth every time you hit the gas.
1. Dominator
If raw muscle had a heartbeat, it'd sound like the Dominator's engine. Inspired by the Ford Mustang, this car combines brute force with racing functionality. Its top-tier acceleration and powerful traction control make it a frequent favorite in muscle-class races.

2. Elegy Retro Custom
The Elegy Retro Custom, modeled after the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32/R34, combines style, speed, and customization like few others. Built through Benny's Original Motor Works, it has one of the deepest modification menus in the game to allow players to personalize every detail.
3. Itali GTO
The Itali GTO is a standout in the Sports class, and is known for its blistering speed and sharp cornering. Its rapid acceleration and precise steering make it perfect for twisty tracks. With full upgrades, it often beats cars with higher top speeds in lap times.

4. Kuruma (Armored)
No-frills protection, no-nonsense performance. The Kuruma (Armored) has been a go-to choice for contact missions ever since its introduction. Though it lacks resistance to explosives, it's virtually bulletproof from the front and sides. Based on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, it also offers tight handling and great maneuverability in urban environments.

5. Pariah
Statistically, it’s the fastest car in the game; yes, really. The Pariah shocked players when it posted a top speed of over 136 mph, outpacing even high-end Supers. While its traction can be tricky for new drivers, it rewards those who can manage its slippery turns.

6. Comet S2
Inspired by the Porsche 911, the Comet S2 is more than just eye candy. It has impressive braking and acceleration that holds its own in the Sports category. Many players favor it for stunt races and technical courses thanks to its precision on hairpin curves.

7. Zentorno
The Zentorno was once the king of Supers, and even today, it holds its own. Drawing inspiration from the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, it offers speed and an iconic presence. Though newer cars have entered the scene, the Zentorno's all-wheel drive and excellent acceleration still make it a formidable pick.
8. Banshee 900R
The 900R takes inspiration from the Dodge Viper and comes with rear-wheel drive for an aggressive, high-torque feel. Cornering can be a challenge, yet its straight-line speed makes it a powerhouse in drag races. Customization is a strong suit, offering a wide range of visual and performance upgrades.

9. Omnis
Don't let the modest design fool you; the Omnis is one of the most capable off-road racers in the Sports Classics category. Its all-wheel drive and nimble controls make it perfect for stunt races and terrain-heavy tracks. Surprisingly, it performs better on dirt than many off-road-specific vehicles.

10. Raiden
The Raiden is a clear example of electric power making waves in the performance car scene. Despite lacking internal mods like turbocharging or engine swaps, its stock acceleration is surprisingly fast, thanks to the efficiency of its electric drivetrain. The four-door design also makes it a great option for team-based missions.
