With Import/Export coming up, we've all gotten a much-needed reminder that GTA is about, probably above all else, cars. The game is named after stealing cars, cars are the main thing you spend cash on, they affect gameplay significantly and they look damn great — well, some of them, anyway. GTA Online is filled to the brim with vehicles, and the vast majority of them are cars. With so many filling so many different roles, it's increasingly difficult to pick the best car in GTA 5. Nonetheless, we've set out to do the impossible: name GTA Online's best overall car.
Note: This list will be updated following the release of future updates.
So how will we tackle this gargantuan task? This list — consider it a guide, if you will — will first select a number of vehicles, each of which excels in a different category. Even if we crown an overall best vehicle, there might be a contender that is better in just one category. Then, as our conclusion, we'll name the best all-rounder that all players should have in their garages.
Freemode — Any vehicle
First of all, let's look at the broadest categories — dicking around in Freemode. Incidentally, this is also the easiest to answer. You'll be spending most of your time in Freemode, going from A to B, hunting down some griefer who won't leave you be or participating in various events. Basically, Freemode is an amalgamation of pretty much every gameplay mechanic GTA Online has to offer, meaning you can't reasonably prepare for every situation you'll encounter.
As such, the only guideline as to what you should be driving in freemode in preference. Be it the looks, the sound, or the handling of any given vehicle, if you just feel it and like it, roll with it. What you shouldn't, however, be driving, is the Armored Kuruma. That thing is a bloody missile-magnet since most players will assume that you're the violent type if you drive that thing.
