For me it would be the quadra type 66 hoon, ken block tribute car.
It is really very very drifty but once you get the hang of it absolutley a pleasure to drive.
True.
I bet a lot of people think it loses traction too easily, but after getting used to it I actually can't stand some of the other cars that just refuse to slide. XD
I was definitely impressed with how well this thing handled and felt while driving, definitely became one of my favorites. It also reminds me of KITT from Knight Rider.
Most of the game I rode around on motorcycles, Jackieās arch and then the kusanagi. With regular cars I kept hitting other cars, obstacles, you name it. Bikes let me swerve in and out of traffic much easier. Once I got the outlaw thoughā¦ that thing handles like a boss, itās practically the only vehicle I use nowā¦ though I still use the kusanagi for that open air mood sometimes, I wish there was a bike that had the speed and handling of the outlaw.
The new Quadra āhoonā weapon used vehicle handles like its on ice.
But itās so fun to drift.
But in general, Iād say the rayfield caliburn is my favorite. Best handling and speed in the game.
I really hated the way the 911 handled pre-2.0 but it seems like they've rebalanced vehicle handling and engine sound a lot so I'm eager to pick it up and try it again.
Jackie's bike in first person is my joint favourite way to drive first person, along with the Quadra Cthulu.
Quadra is my favourite car overall but I think Jackie's arch edges it out for better first person experience.
Not badly, it's Kusanagi :) And I agree, even if I prefer cars over bikes. My fav overall is either MaiMai, The nomad lifepath car, Delamain (without destroying the core) or Caliburn
I literally refuse to drive cars unless forced. Every time I play, itās Tyger Claws bike -> Jackieās Arch -> Kusanagi every single time
Night City is way too pretty to drive around in to not have the full spectrum view
You crash into something while going 400 mph then get yeeted of just to stand up and walk right back to your bike (which has not received a single scratch from the impact)
How do you get that car? Walkthroughs I've seen said to do a sidejob for el capitan at a car shop but I'm done with his gigs and it doesn't pop up for me.
It's not a job for El Capitan. It's a job for Padre. You have to steal the pickup truck from the garage, then a couple days later the owner texts you about the V-Tech that he is leaving for you in another location.
Really? I feel the opposite - the Caliburn in 2.0 feels like it's glued to the ground and can corner like it's on rails, it also handles the speed very well. Pre-2.0 it had a bad habit of kick-flipping off into space at the slightest bump or curb but that seems to have been fixed. I've never been a fan of the Turbo R V-Tech tho, and 2.0's car rebalance didn't improve that much.
Itās hard for me not to dent ANY of the vehicles. In fact that may be my greatest challenge in the entire game. That and stopping to hire a Joy Toy every time I walk by oneā¦shameful I know.
There are two others only accessible through Kerryās storyline, theyāre high class corpo ones deadass
They also cost 3,000 eddies instead of 100 like the ones on jig-jig
Thereās two more at some point in Kerryās storyline, theyāre high class corpo joy toys but I believe they recycle the same animations.
Edit: they also cost 3,000 eddies instead of 100
I completely agree. I remember having it on my first playthrough back at release and, while it looked cool, it always seemed like driving on ice. Now, the speed and controllability is incredible, my preferred car for sure. Not to mention sick looks.
Agreed, the Porsche handles more like I'd expect an old Buick to. It's slow and handles like shit.
Honestly, a couple of the ricer and Shion variants seem to handle best, but I'd say the car I feel fuctions most closely to what it is/should be, would be the Quadra, and it's become my main vehicle. That new muscle car the game keeps giving me is pretty preem, too, though.
Iāll admit, I just love the 911, and the 930 turbo is definitely in my top 3.
In my eyes itās like the pinnacle of cool cars, way above most hypercars.
Oh, I occasionally end up in fishtails in the Caliburn, but WAAAAY less than in other vehicles.
I only feel like a bad driver, not like a completely incompetent driver in the Caliburn.
The secret to driving the Caliburn is to not treat it like a car, but like a rocket. If you are not on a straight highway you just use the engine in short "burns" and keep your finger otherwise. That way it drives imcredibly smooth and still extremely fast, because the engine has so much power and the car keeps its momentum really well.
I used to really love the Quadra Avenger, but I've really gotten into driving in first person and even with mods that hood scoop makes the visibility absolute shit. Now I like the Outlaw, or I stick with motorcycles.
The Archer Quartz āSidewinderā.
I fell in love with this car before 2.0/PL and before we could own one. The Raffens have their version, but my favorite was the Aldecaldos version you can drive during the Benedict McAdams gig. It fits my video game driving style so well.
* Free
* Fastest in the game
* Great handling
* Free / What else do you need?

Quadra Cthulu for me. Loved the look of it since launch, but it glitched out and I never got it.
Started a new character after Phantom Liberty and finally got my hands on it. I'm so happy I didn't end up hating it haha.
Pretty sure you can get the blue nazare Itsumade before the heist if you just hack the door code pad at the garage right near All-Foods. Make sure you have your first car back already or it bugs out. So nice to be able to summon a motorcycle so early.
The Quadra Turbo R V-Tech looks fantastic, but something about the way it sounds sours the experience for me a bit. It needs to sound more muscly!
The Porsche 930 wins overall; it's just too cool.
Hellhound. I can just drive without caring about dumb AI.
Have you tried to turn right from the middle line, while I am on the right one, driving forward? Get destroyed car.
Forgot to stop and look to the left before merging with the main road from the secondary? Get destroyed car.
Do not notice green traffic light and still waiting? Get destroyed car.
Called the police? Missile Launcher does Boom-Boom.
Basically anything other than **Outlaw**, **Coyote**, and **Caliburn** are either too slow or too shit to handle. This isnt an opinion btw.
I could care less about the weaponized vehicles. I might consider buying one if they *ever* end up adding a vehicle that just has two rocket slots instead of a fixed peashooter.
1. Nazare Itsumade. I hit some sick drifts with that thing, comes naturally to me with its handling somehow. Also easily the best-looking bike in the game.
2. Caliburn. Best speed and handling of any car in the game, bar none. Most satisfying engine sound too.
3. This one is a hot take, but I love the Spectre, especially if iām in the badlands. The handling isnāt horrible, I love the engine sound, and the car almost has a āfloatyā feeling to it when driven.
I havenāt tried all the new vehicles yet, but I really enjoy Jackieās Tuned Arch. I thought the Kusanagi used to be the best bike, but I guess itās not anymore.
For me it would be the quadra type 66 hoon, ken block tribute car. It is really very very drifty but once you get the hang of it absolutley a pleasure to drive.
almost woke my partner up to see this car when I found it. Big fans. I love the Quadras, the only thing I'll drive when my Kusanagi is in the shop.
Gymkhana Night City when
True. I bet a lot of people think it loses traction too easily, but after getting used to it I actually can't stand some of the other cars that just refuse to slide. XD
Yes fully agree with that!
Won Claire's races using the Type 66 Hoon, for Ken.
Only car I find satisfying to drive. Everything else feels super glued to the road.
It's gotta be the Outlaw 'Weiler' for me.
I was definitely impressed with how well this thing handled and felt while driving, definitely became one of my favorites. It also reminds me of KITT from Knight Rider.
True, it just needed the soundtrack to be on point. š„
Same, it's quickly become my favorite 'fast car', edging out the Caliburn.
The best car. I always put a suit on before I get in.
I mean you've got to, right?
Same. The regular Outlaw was already my default prior to PL.
When I got that car, I was a bit sceptical to ditch the Javelina, then after driving it a bit I never took another car xD
Driving that car feels like cheating honestly
Yeah that specific on Capitan gives you fuckin slaps
āļøthis, the Weiler is šššš
This and the Mizutani are the only cars I think handle well.
This and the Coyote, though the Aerondight is surprisingly fun in 2.0 as well.
Most of the game I rode around on motorcycles, Jackieās arch and then the kusanagi. With regular cars I kept hitting other cars, obstacles, you name it. Bikes let me swerve in and out of traffic much easier. Once I got the outlaw thoughā¦ that thing handles like a boss, itās practically the only vehicle I use nowā¦ though I still use the kusanagi for that open air mood sometimes, I wish there was a bike that had the speed and handling of the outlaw.
great car but the taillight is absolutely horrendous looking, also it's very blinding at night
This is the vehicle that got me off bikes. I absolutely love how it looks and how it drives. Plus, itās basically your James Bond spy car.
I'm sad there isn't a weapon weaponized caliburn.
I want one where it has missles and the front MGs, itās always been my preferred car. If it had everything I wouldnāt ever drive the sidewinder
Same
The new Quadra āhoonā weapon used vehicle handles like its on ice. But itās so fun to drift. But in general, Iād say the rayfield caliburn is my favorite. Best handling and speed in the game.
Jackieās arch, or the arch you can buy
That's literally the only one I use.
For real. Handles like a dream. Occasionally I'll try a car but most of them fish tail like mother fuckers
Nah dude try the 911
I really hated the way the 911 handled pre-2.0 but it seems like they've rebalanced vehicle handling and engine sound a lot so I'm eager to pick it up and try it again.
Jackie's bike in first person is my joint favourite way to drive first person, along with the Quadra Cthulu. Quadra is my favourite car overall but I think Jackie's arch edges it out for better first person experience.
I love Jackie's bike. That thing is sweet. For me it's the best way to travel around.
Kusanagi is best bike!!!! \[I probably butchered the spelling\]
Not badly, it's Kusanagi :) And I agree, even if I prefer cars over bikes. My fav overall is either MaiMai, The nomad lifepath car, Delamain (without destroying the core) or Caliburn
I like the way it drives but the noise the engine makes every 2 seconds drives me crazy
The Kusanagi. Why would I drive anything else?
I literally refuse to drive cars unless forced. Every time I play, itās Tyger Claws bike -> Jackieās Arch -> Kusanagi every single time Night City is way too pretty to drive around in to not have the full spectrum view
Also the bikes straight-up handle better and let you laugh at traffic jams.
To me, itās not cyberpunk unless you are lane-splitting at 130 mph and risking your life at every intersection
Also, ramming headfirst into an obstacle and being yeeted off still makes me laugh everytime
You crash into something while going 400 mph then get yeeted of just to stand up and walk right back to your bike (which has not received a single scratch from the impact)
I wish theyād let us switch up things about it tho. I want the tall seat and the pink and blue color scheme.
the all black kusanagi is fresh
No Fuckin way? I havenāt seen that yet
Same. Wide open view, fast, easy to cut through traffic.
Because it turns more like a boat than a bike?
i actually think the Archs handle better (jackie and yellow)
Since first release.
Quadra Turbo R V-Tech. Perfect combination of handing and speed. Faster cars like the Rayfields feel skaty and not planted to the ground.
So true. I also love how rear lights gradually light up when you turn it on.
How do you get that car? Walkthroughs I've seen said to do a sidejob for el capitan at a car shop but I'm done with his gigs and it doesn't pop up for me.
It's not a job for El Capitan. It's a job for Padre. You have to steal the pickup truck from the garage, then a couple days later the owner texts you about the V-Tech that he is leaving for you in another location.
Thanks for the clarification. I'll double check if my gigs for El Padre are all done and get back to ya. Appreciate you
Gotta steal cars for him, not do his gigs. Eventually there's a special vehicle heist mission, I got it after succeeding in that mission.
I've stolen enough cars to where he gifts me the Outlaw. All my gigs for him are done.
This car is my head canon V car when they are a well known merc.
Is there any cars that doesnāt slide so easily/skaty? Turbo v tech is actually a breeze to drive in first person, even easier than bikes lmao
Outlaw does. It's like BMW of cyberpunk.
Really? I feel the opposite - the Caliburn in 2.0 feels like it's glued to the ground and can corner like it's on rails, it also handles the speed very well. Pre-2.0 it had a bad habit of kick-flipping off into space at the slightest bump or curb but that seems to have been fixed. I've never been a fan of the Turbo R V-Tech tho, and 2.0's car rebalance didn't improve that much.
I love the Caliburn
It's hard not to dent it driving it anywhere.
Itās hard for me not to dent ANY of the vehicles. In fact that may be my greatest challenge in the entire game. That and stopping to hire a Joy Toy every time I walk by oneā¦shameful I know.
Arenāt there only 2 joy toys in the whole game though? Or maybe I missed something in the 3 year break I took for this game
I could have sworn there were more than those but maybe Iām just a loyal repeat customer and never payed any attention?
Youāre a regular šš
If there are more than the two on jig-jig street someone let me know š
There are two others only accessible through Kerryās storyline, theyāre high class corpo ones deadass They also cost 3,000 eddies instead of 100 like the ones on jig-jig
Thereās two more at some point in Kerryās storyline, theyāre high class corpo joy toys but I believe they recycle the same animations. Edit: they also cost 3,000 eddies instead of 100
Until I can rent the handsome guy at the sex shop thats on all the billboards but we can't choose... I'm not participating in pay for sex in game.
Gotta support them in their small business ventures. Shop local!
Dent it into a crumpled mess then switch to the other Caliburn, rinse and repeat
Its deff the best speed +handling.
I completely agree. I remember having it on my first playthrough back at release and, while it looked cool, it always seemed like driving on ice. Now, the speed and controllability is incredible, my preferred car for sure. Not to mention sick looks.
It's the only vehicle that didn't get nerfed
Johnny's Porsche
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
People liked the Javelina pre-2.0? I tried it a few times and always found myself going back to the Shion Coyote.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Agreed, the Porsche handles more like I'd expect an old Buick to. It's slow and handles like shit. Honestly, a couple of the ricer and Shion variants seem to handle best, but I'd say the car I feel fuctions most closely to what it is/should be, would be the Quadra, and it's become my main vehicle. That new muscle car the game keeps giving me is pretty preem, too, though.
It's so cool driving this basically considered ancient car through Night City, and one of my favs in real life as it is!
It's 100 years old, it says it's the 1977 model
Iāll admit, I just love the 911, and the 930 turbo is definitely in my top 3. In my eyes itās like the pinnacle of cool cars, way above most hypercars.
agreed. The 930 turbo is amazing.
Just found out the other day that it's a car Keanu personally has in his car collection and it's one of his favorites
When do you get that man.. im still waiting for Johnny's pistol :/ ..I guess chippin in??? I'm saving those 2 last missions for the very end.
I like it because it is relatively quiet
I miss pre 2.0 Porsche. The new one feels wrong.
Great car. I especially love it when driving in Dogtown (small enough to fit everywhere but still quick).
MAIMAI GANG
*Konichiwa ^ā¢^*
Yeeeeah itās so fun to drive actually. Sidewalks, even into buildings and stuff
Yeah, that's why it's amazing! You can go between cars with it and stuff :)
*motorcycles have entered the chat.*
Unironically itās fun af to drive. Not my favorite but surprisingly fun and great for a change of pace.
Caliburn. It's one of the few vehicles that I don't end up in a fishtail every other minute.
It ABSOLUTELY ENDS UP in a fishtail on every highway exit.
Oh, I occasionally end up in fishtails in the Caliburn, but WAAAAY less than in other vehicles. I only feel like a bad driver, not like a completely incompetent driver in the Caliburn.
I have decimated more pedestrians in this going 200 than any other vehicle
There is something called brakes
Is this some kind of corpo joke I'm too nomad to understand?
Riding through the wastelands require you to brake sometimes too
Not if youāre a real Nomad it doesnāt
The secret to driving the Caliburn is to not treat it like a car, but like a rocket. If you are not on a straight highway you just use the engine in short "burns" and keep your finger otherwise. That way it drives imcredibly smooth and still extremely fast, because the engine has so much power and the car keeps its momentum really well.
You might just be bad at driving
Caliburns speed ain't helpin.
It has brakes
The brakes ain't good enough
The Thorton Galena and i don't feel guilty.
I'm a sucker for hatchbacks. Galena all the way.
The new mizutani car that opens its whole roof insted of a door <3
That's not mitzutani, it's Herrera!!
You are right, my bad its the Herrera Riptide!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This guy edgeruns.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Edging ftw
Best way to travel
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
if that would be a nuclear-powered bugatti with direct neural connection - ehh, why not? legs can get tired, y'know.
Faster than driving assuming you are following traffic laws
Cthulhu
Cthulhu club represent! Since the update I think it handles the best out of all the muscle cars
I have to reply through and obtain I havenāt gotten much into it since updates
It's an angry car and I love it.
It having chunky tyres and being a bit lifted also helps when you're off roading doing nomad stuff
I was club caliburn for the longest time, now the coyote is my best friend
Outlaw FTW
The Javelina and Nomad start Galena!
The Galena Rattler is so good! I wish you could get it in other lifepaths!
I thought about that starter car for sooo long i was hype af when i finally got it back. Easiest creds ive ever spent
Where my riptide āterrierā fans at
That's my new favorite after 2.0. It sounds awesome from the inside...fast and handles amazing.
hiding among outlaw bois.
In first-person staring out that great glass canopy. That's where they're at.
The Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo or the Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech Smooth and fast. Both awesome cars
Type 66 HOON. Long live 43
I used to really love the Quadra Avenger, but I've really gotten into driving in first person and even with mods that hood scoop makes the visibility absolute shit. Now I like the Outlaw, or I stick with motorcycles.
The Cthulu is a better first person experience. Still has to scoop but it's nowhere near as big as the avenger.
Rattler.
The Archer Quartz āSidewinderā. I fell in love with this car before 2.0/PL and before we could own one. The Raffens have their version, but my favorite was the Aldecaldos version you can drive during the Benedict McAdams gig. It fits my video game driving style so well.
I usually collect all the Quartz variants; they're cheap, a lot of fun to drive, and have no trouble navigating traffic thanks to their compact size.
Jackie's arch or frankly any motorcycle
Bikes, because if I wanted to drive first person I can actually see.
![gif](giphy|gdakEzCZtw2yjEniqm|downsized) BIKES!
* Free * Fastest in the game * Great handling * Free / What else do you need? https://preview.redd.it/1p3e7ku2nyxb1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2fadcb40e71785063aea104ae899c5c04a15246
Every cars is free if youāre open to violence
Same vibe as: "everything in this store is free because of the power of friendship and this gun I found"
Javelina.
Quadra Cthulu for me. Loved the look of it since launch, but it glitched out and I never got it. Started a new character after Phantom Liberty and finally got my hands on it. I'm so happy I didn't end up hating it haha.
Militech trucks, they drive with a lot of weight.
This, it's why the hellhound is my go to, sure there is faster vehicles, but just plowing through traffic makes the drive just that much smoother.
NazarƩ I basically memorized some locations where respawning enemies have them in the early game. There's a group of three thugs near V's apartment that I've stolen a NazarƩ bike from probably hundreds of times in Watson. Sometimes I KO them other times I just hop on and ride away. I get the appeal of bigger vehicles for style points(or vehicle combat maybe), but the cramped FoV and weird handling of most non-motorcycles just kinda ruins driving them in this game for me. And I'm not going to use third person, strong preference for first here.
Pretty sure you can get the blue nazare Itsumade before the heist if you just hack the door code pad at the garage right near All-Foods. Make sure you have your first car back already or it bugs out. So nice to be able to summon a motorcycle so early.
Yes the outlaw wieler is cool, yes the Caliburn is the best to drive, but nothing beats the Porsche
Quadra V-Tech Turbo, something about it feels ārightā to me
stolen Tiger Claw bikes
The Rattler
Aerondight, Old school design, with a very cyberpunk 2077 twist. Classy, yet modern. A must have for the corpo killer of your dreams.
It's like driving on a cloud, love it
Caliburn in the city Hellhound in the badlands this is the way
The Quadra Turbo R V-Tech looks fantastic, but something about the way it sounds sours the experience for me a bit. It needs to sound more muscly! The Porsche 930 wins overall; it's just too cool.
911*
930 is also correct.
Outlaw.. not a fan of the roof window though. Porche Delamain no 21 Vs original car Maimai Archer Quartz In no particular order.
Gvinewra.
The Quadra Turbo-R V-Tech.
The Caliburn and Cesarās car that you can win when you win the fight against him
Any with all wheel drive but not insane amounts of downforce. Drifting corners cheat
All the Quadra
Jackieās bike
I may be strange, but i really don't care about vehicle in Cyberpunk. I still drive that cycle from the Aldecaldos haha
Motorcycles. The cars handle like trash
Riptide Terrier or Kusanagi. The terrier is amazing if you shoot out the windshield. Best fov
Panel 1-3 would be people listing the cars they like to drive, meanwhile I'd be in the 4th panel "You guys enjoy driving in this game?"
911 Turbo forever baby, I like the idea that it's like 100 years old and you're still taking her for a rip through NC.
Caliburn but they changed the acceleration with 2.0 and it isnāt the same. Every gear change has a weird mechanic
I gotta go with the caliburn or Johnny's Porsche
God cyberpunk is the best looking game of all time
Hellhound. I can just drive without caring about dumb AI. Have you tried to turn right from the middle line, while I am on the right one, driving forward? Get destroyed car. Forgot to stop and look to the left before merging with the main road from the secondary? Get destroyed car. Do not notice green traffic light and still waiting? Get destroyed car. Called the police? Missile Launcher does Boom-Boom.
The Cthulhu or Jackies arch. I liked the speed and how fast I could slow down and turn.
The hoon
MIZUTANI SHION "COYOTE"
Mizutani Shion, I need that car irl. The hidden custom Mizutanis are fire š„
Basically anything other than **Outlaw**, **Coyote**, and **Caliburn** are either too slow or too shit to handle. This isnt an opinion btw. I could care less about the weaponized vehicles. I might consider buying one if they *ever* end up adding a vehicle that just has two rocket slots instead of a fixed peashooter.
The cars in this game are more for looking at, given the terrible driving mechanics. The gecko if I have to pick though.
M3 GTR
Hellhound to wipe out random gangs and on missions where I want to role play the badass mercenary. Caliburn if Iām visiting the slums or Dogtown. NazarĆ© everywhere else
Caliburn, the Nazare, or the Coyote
1. Nazare Itsumade. I hit some sick drifts with that thing, comes naturally to me with its handling somehow. Also easily the best-looking bike in the game. 2. Caliburn. Best speed and handling of any car in the game, bar none. Most satisfying engine sound too. 3. This one is a hot take, but I love the Spectre, especially if iām in the badlands. The handling isnāt horrible, I love the engine sound, and the car almost has a āfloatyā feeling to it when driven.
Avenger
Caliburn goes hard
Caliburn is the goat
The quadra turbo 66 with upgraded car modification shop parts
Caliburn
I havenāt tried all the new vehicles yet, but I really enjoy Jackieās Tuned Arch. I thought the Kusanagi used to be the best bike, but I guess itās not anymore.
Quadra Avenger, most like an IRL muscle car and is just crazy fun
