The Best Street Cars | Car List The Crew Guide
Last update: 21 October 2016
This chapter presents the best cars for each specification. You can find here the ones that are suitable for players that are low on money, and they cannot afford, e.g. a Lamborghini. Of course, in spite of that, the list also specifies the supercars that you pay really a lot for. There only are the cars available for all the players so, you cannot find the Mini Cooper or McLaren 12C there.
Car statistics are supplied for versions at level 1101, with all the platinum parts of level 40 installed.
Ford Mustang GT 2011
Price: 22 500$ or 4 999 KC
Availability: from level 1, at the car dealership in Detroit
Ford Mustang is here mainly because it is one of the cars that you need to pick at the beginning of the game. It is the best one, of the ones offered to you, because it combines maneuverability with speed at the right ratio. Still, it often loses the grip with the ground, while turning, due to the skidding of the rear axle.
Upsides: affordable price, top speed
Downsides: weight, the rear axle slips while in turns
Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)
Price: 108 000$ or 23 997 KC
Availability: starting with level 10, at the car dealership in New York
Nissan Skyline is an excellent car, mainly to the four wheel drive. In The Crew, it is 4x4 that are very good, because they accelerate quickly and do not skid. Skyline does very well on bends, but sometimes, its rear escapes. It is quite pricy, as for this stage into the game, but you can buy it for premium currency.
Upsides: acceleration, 4x4 drive, good performance, also in different specifications
Downsides: high price, sizeable
Volkswagen Golf GTI
Price: 81 000$ or 17 998 KC
Availability: starting with level 10, at the car dealership in New York
Volkswagen Golf GTI is a small car, perfect for races on winding streets. It is small and lightweight and, which follows, highly maneuverable. Thanks to the front-wheel drive, it is quick to exit bends, even if you lose your grip. It has quite good acceleration, but is inferior to the stronger cars, while on straights. It is cheaper than Nissan Skyline, but it is available only in street version, which makes it a less profitable buy, at the beginning of the game.
Upsides: front-wheel drive, good maneuverability, low weight
Downsides: low acceleration, available only in the street version
