Quick Review : Jaguar XKR





What I like :

-More agile than the Maserati GranTurismo S
-Challenging to drive
-Stable chassis

What I dont like :

-A bit heavy
-Too much oversteer on the throttle
-Second gear is too short


Ratings
Ratings are the numeric scores that I personally give to the car, consisting of sense of balance, thrill, and driving confidence. The value of each rating is out of 10. For example, if the score is 2.1 , that means its 2.1 out of 10. Sense of balance is the balance of everything. A car that is too easy to drive would not be exciting enough to drive for a long period of time, while a car that is too difficult to drive requires a lot of concentration or patience in order to bring the car around corners. It can also be the balance between oversteer and understeer, sharpness and stability, and so on. Thrill is the level of excitement that you get from the driving experience, often associated with the sense of fear. Driving confidence is the amount of confidence that the car gives to you. Basically, a confident inspiring car would give the driver a sense of courage to give out more of its power around corners.


-Sense of balance : 6.5
-Thrill : 7.3
-Driving confidence : 6.2



Summary
I like cars that can do powerslides, but the powerslide in this one is too hyperbole. It just wants to drift everytime you hit the throttle on the corners, which can be really annoying I tell you. In the real world you get a spacious cabin and luggage space, but in this game, it doesn't matter. So that means you have to deal with its rather big and heavy body. On the bright side, it's still smaller than the Maserati GranTurismo.
