The Ultimate Gran Turismo 4 Starter Car Tierlist

[@Domi39]

I always bought the red SW20 as a kid. I thought it was criminal how there was such a cool car for so cheap (and available from the beginning of the game). Then 15 years later I bought a real one. And still feel the same way. There's nothing out there that matches the price:cool ratio of the SW20.

[@purwantiallan5089]

SW20 also cheaper than even R34GTR.

[@YellowbirdYT]

Congrats! I hope it serves you well for a long time, enjoy it.

I got an SW20 while they were cheap, like really cheap, and then sold it for a decent profit, but now ik I could've gotten so much more out of it, not only price, but the amount of time spent, I miss it, but now they're like 15k instead of 3500

[@FairyLiquid69]

Welcome :)

[@ChromealaChan]

I'm really glad to see someone finally mentioning the Cougar as a great alternative, it is really a hidden gem. Sure the grind for S license isn't great but that thing can take you almost through the entire american events and even the 1000 miles

[@YellowbirdYT]

Absolutely, it can open a massive chunk of the game by itself. Totally a solid choice.

[@andrewwang8204]

I think the dc2 Integra type r was overlooked in this list. it was 7 grand and it works great as a starter. I put comfort tires and add 50kg ballast for the "girlfriend thats too dependent" penalty and it's incredibly fun to drive

[@sylansylan4189]

The fact that my go to car, the RX-7 GT-X (FC, J) is actually a pretty great starting choice made me happy. Younger me definitely made the right pick when I first played this game without a single doubt!

[@bobthebuilder9509]

The RX-7 GTX was also a great starter car back in Gran Turismo 2, so this isn’t its first rodeo for sure!

[@YellowbirdYT]

Absolutely, the '90 RX7 is insane. Probably one of the most reasonable options.

[@sylansylan4189]

@@bobthebuilder9509 always seems like whichever racing game has it as a pick, the GT-X (FC) always is a standout pick, either because it can fit well in a Japanese 90's Cup thanks to its performance numbers or because its a good starter option for just starting out the game. Gran Turismo definitely sells it as a good starter for those who have experience or even those just wanting something more than a Civic or any other hatchback.

[@TallTapper]

was the car i used in my first playthrough my beloved

[@nome6942O]

I chose it too, sold it accidentally sadly

[@bluwusky5167]

A favourite starter of mine is the 1990 Mazda RX7, but one that holds a special place in my heart, as my first ever starter car, is the Nissan Primera 2.0 (Infiniti G20). That is a joy to drive

[@purwantiallan5089]

Me too love the 1990 RX7. And dont forget Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Silvia as my additional starter cars. On FR challenge, the Silvia still struggled even with upgrades.

[@Ficii1]

I'm not sure if it's available on week 1, but my personal go to is the 94 Impreza WRX. 4WD, 250 hp for about 9500-9900 credits.

[@YellowbirdYT]

It isn't, it appears later!

[@sblack53]

The 1995 Version 2 GC8 is more powerful for the same price and is worth the wait for it to drop in price below 10k.

[@seanbrewer5337]

Excellent, comprehensive video. Well-edited, insightful commentary, and great analysis. Gran Turismo 4 is such a timeless classic, I've been very happy to see it rise again in popularity nearly 20 years after its release, in no small part due to its coverage by Yellowbird and TeaKanji. Well done!

[@alexajd5008]

I love informational videos like this. Even if I know most of the stuff, it’s still fun to listen to. Plus there’s almost always at least one thing to learn. I might even try a few cars I never have before.

[@ChilledGemini99]

Great video man, that background music is making me wanna get my DS & play Platinum & Soulsilver again lol

[@YellowbirdYT]

Might as well! You're welcome!

[@StopAsking-mu6to]

A tier list with no actual tier list?

[@997tt7]

the video is really good, deep in information and covers all early and license prize cars, but I wouldn't say it's a comprehensive list. If you check the used car dealers in between completing licences, you can get some pretty good starter cars: evos (II,III), which are better than the evo I first gen STIs, which decimate the early game, have a lot of potential with upgrades, can access (and be competitive) in lots of events and have a manufacturer event that can be beaten with a stage 1 turbo SW20s, but this time the GTS, which is an op starter in gt4, and I'd say quite better than the G-limited, which iirc cannot have a turbo there's probably more I left, but these are the ones that come to mind. (also STIs can be quite competitive in boxer cup without spending too much money, and you know what that means ;) )

[@YellowbirdYT]

Yes, I get this argument. However, I wanted to cover all the cars available at day 1, as covering other cars would open a lot of doors, dare I say, more advanced strategies.

[@Shima33BB]

I can't believe you didn't mention that the MR2 G-Limited can do World Compact in the early game for EZ money. It's the speedrun strat in B-Spec!

[@YellowbirdYT]

I looked past it because I didn't watch any GT4 speedruns. I knew I was missing something by not doing so, unfortunate. (Even if I kind of intended it to be for A-Spec only, still)

[@draineweYT]

Noticing some similarities between GT2 and GT4 with the starter cars, many of the cars that were good in GT2 are still good choices in GT4. ‘90 RX-7, Silvia K’s S13, ‘89 Skyline GTS-t, Toyota Celica GT-R, Toyota Trueno. I began both my GT2 and GT4 playthrough with the Skyline GTS-t and it’s delighting to see it perform well in both games.

[@MrNukealizer]

The Acura DN-X is quite interesting as an early car. It doesn't quite feel right to me in normal races so I haven't used it much, but it's by far the fastest car I've tried so far for dirt tracks. With so much grip on the rear wheels, it's less likely to slide around corners and can even make use of the full 580 HP it can be upgraded to, while others tend to struggle for grip when upgraded to 420-440 HP. Being a NA car, it also has a wider and smoother power band than all the turbo rally cars for better corner exits. The only problems are that it requires a bit of care on the throttle around corners due to lack of VCD, and you need to finish the dirt races before buying any weight reductions or it becomes uncontrollable.

[@blazi2293]

The Civic type R was my first and I think it's great. I sold the race spec Civic I won from the Civic club and it gave me quite a lot of money very early in the game

[@purwantiallan5089]

For me i usually bought Civic, much like you, and later Impreza Spec C 2004 and later i also sold Impreza Race Car (Prize car from Stars of Pleiades) to get quite a ton of cash early in the game, probably around $1.965.398.

[@YellowbirdYT]

Can't go wrong with the EK9!

[@tabsgt3rs]

For me the best is the Isuzu Piazza XE, such an underrated car, with italian engine and japanese bodywork

[@RickettsJr]

Japanese bodywork?

[@tabsgt3rs]

Sorry I meant chassis@@RickettsJr

[@derimeri21]

If you want an awesome start, do the B lisence, then go to early 90s used cars and buy a Honda Integra Type R DC2 for 8.8k. It can beat Sunday, FF and Capri rally stock with oil change and wash. Japan 90s cup and Type R meeting should be possible with Stage 1 Weight and Turbo/NA Tuning, Racing chip and whatever other handling mods you want. Those handling upgrades are optional... I think. And I haven't done the Type R meeting yet. But it should do it atleast if the NSX doesn't show up. I did this as I started GT4 on Emulator recently and it has been quite easy in the early game. Thanks to this guide and TeaKanji's for helping me with GT4.

[@92c900t]

Awesome video, as usual, but I'm wondering if you limited to the used cars that are only available on week 1. Because doing even just the B- license will cycle the days and the car list is different every single week. The 97 Camaro Z28 for example is pretty OP, it's available on week 4 and I believe it's under 10K (I could be wrong). Omitting cars that aren't on week one is understandable to keep the video length reasonable, but many/most people won't and don't need to buy a car on week one (the Lupo is free anyways), given you can't do much without a B license. I'm planning on doing a playthrough using only cars I've actually owned IRL, which should get me through everything in the beginner and professional hall except for Kei, pre-70s, trucks, boxer engines, and GTWC (although I want to beat the GTWC in a non-LMP).

[@bobthebuilder9509]

Yeah seems only week 1 used cars were pointed out. I think at the very least (if we were going for full comprehension and had time for testing) a look at weeks 1-5’s roster would be great, since you need 5 weeks minimum to complete the B and A licenses. Honestly since we were also considering S license prizes in the form of the Cougar, it might be cool checking out used cars through Week 12. Still, Yellowbird’s list is definitely pretty comprehensive and in-depth already, so maybe he could do the other starters as another video? EDIT: If we wanted to be REALLY overkill we could probably mention used cars you can afford by selling license prizes. I’m pretty sure there’s a couple gems in the early game you just barely won’t be able to afford that could be circumvented with a little boost in cash (or by importing a GT3 save, but in that case why are you still here? lol)

[@92c900t]

@@bobthebuilder9509 Yeah, although it's very common for people to get the 3,400 from the Lupo, that would make the video too long. But since the licenses are mandatory anyway, there are a bunch of later week cars that deserve mention. Also think the silver and gold prize cars are an unusual addition, but the 270R is stupidly good for the effort. I actually just learned there is a 1970 Honda in the historic showroom for 11K that has enough power to be competitive in the world classics (at least without a Cobra or Buick Special). Would make an interesting starter car.

[@ericfernandorossi]

While i think showing cars fron week 2 would be valid, if you want to grind any car past the B license, is because you absolutely don't want to buy your starter car;

[@p1nky02]

Yeah, I think the part 2 of this video is a must have and at the end of it make a real tierlist in tiermaker. The cars should be judged by how many events they can win, value for money and how much fun is it to drive certain things

Most of the time I don't put LSD on the cars because I don't feel any difference. The upgrades I like the most are flywheel, clutch and engine balance, but I also prioritize suspension, ecu and exhaust.

How do you know exactly the grip modifiers? From code or something else? And what is the list of the top highest grip cars? A list of all cars with grip modifiers, would be funny to see from highest to lowest.

[@TeaKanji]

It's from a database in the game's data called SpecDB. I made a spreadsheet last year using SpecDB data that shows each car's grip modifiers, wind drag, wheelbase and other hidden stats. You should be able to find it if you Google "gran turismo 4 specdb spreadsheet". Edit: oh, I forgot Yellowbird linked to it in the description of this video, so yeah, it's there. You should be able to sort the cars by grip modifiers.

[@YellowbirdYT]

Actually, there is. Check the description!

[@johnarvanitis9328]

Selling the Lupo and Nismo 270R, after completing the licenses, to buy the TVR Griffith as a starter is still my favorite path. It's a crazy bargain for 20.500 CR and if you tune it properly it becomes an amazing race car. Super fun to drive.

[@suntannedduck2388]

As someone that used the RSC raid car in rally events not always sold it or used it in other useful events or suits yeah some people need to truly test them out for their capabilities and tuning potential not always selling and moving on or just collecting and moving on which I do sometimes Same with Tuner cars. Many like the OP S2000(always knew it's potential just never bought it and tweaked it but knew from the CPU events it appears in. Seeing speed but not always considered tuning or the handling/weight/grip as I should) or the Amuse one in GT5P (yes in GT4 as well) I always noticed not jused though. That or the R32 Golf many k ow for the cheap price, high speed difference that I more so noticed in GT PSP then GT4. Same with OP S2000 in GT PSP not so great sometimes as tuning in GT4 or 5 makes it better than GT PSP favourite system tweaks that kind of help but not much. Or I didn't push it enough besides what the opponent selection was and which tracks I used it with I probably used it incorrectly to its strengths.

[@McLennox]

Just a couple small corrections: - is dash, not slash, and nobody says "GTS dash T" it's, just a GTST when spoken aloud. Also, it's not a Silvia K S. It's pronounced Kays. And the Q's is pronounced queues. Otherwise very well produced and factual video! Well done Yellowbird!

If you’re willing to waste the first few weeks of Used car dealership lineups getting licenses, the GC8 Impreza Ver.2 eventually drops below 10k. It’s not as powerful as the later models but it is fantastic in so many races with gradual tuning, including Capri Rally Easy in Special Condition Events and Stars of Pleiades in Subaru one-make races.

[@gmdgamingdoost3695]

The 1.4 lupo is actually an interesting car for me. It has a super wierd gearbox in this game wich allows it to have such ridiculous top speed of 150 mph(250 km/h). Sure it's too weak for such a gearbox but problem can be solved with an stage 1 turbo and nitrous. With this setup, good driving and some forza tricks you can win the Schwarzwald league A wich is going to give you the most wanted m3 gtr, only with 10 grands. It's mind-blowing. (The autumn ring is going to be a torture however)

I used to start with the S13 Silvia, but the FC RX-7 is in my opinion by far the best. You can tune it up to about 400-500hp and it'll still be very easy to drive, on top of being very fast stock for the price.

[@leonsjacketre4]

Hey Yellowbird, loved the tierlist of all possible starter cars, really showed some alternative choices. Any chance for more of this sort of thing? Like the Used Dealerships in GT1 or 2? Or if not that, a bit more on GT4's listings? The used car cycles show even more hidden gems that could be great to grab, for example checking it after getting a license or two, like alot of players are liable to do, since the scope of this video was the perspective of a new players first choice.

[@YellowbirdYT]

GT 1 and 2 are more simple, and their choices aren't as punishing really. A bad car on GT4 can give you a miserable experience.

[@arutezza]

Not only a perfect match for the Sunday Cup stock but with some mild modifications also suitable for the Japanese 70s Classics, the Japanese Compact Cup and the Global Compact Race. Will the '79 Civic be slightly easier? Sure. Will the City Turbo be much easier? Oh yeah. But do you know what the Civic or City Turbo aren't? YELLOW!!

[@notgaphafn4614]

My first playthrough of gt4 (which I'm still going through now), I was unlucky enough to pick the honda today G '85. But thankfully cheating in the Kei cup allowed to grind up a bit to win the kei cup races, and eventually i got the pontiac from sunfire gxp concept, now this car with nos was enough for capri rally with a bit of dirty driving. And after upgrades capri rally is easy, which means I would recommend anyone to get this car since it's rather easy to get and allows you to get a bunch of money easily since you can sell the prize car. And I'm not good at racing games either and am on keyboard & mouse. Means anyone should be able to save their playthrough without getting softlocked if they ended up getting stuck with one of the trash starter cars. I wish the best of luck to everyone and their endeavors in gt4.

[@AeonAxisProductions]

im gonna go ahead and guess that the lancer evo 1 gsr will either be THE number 1 pick, or at least in the top 3 with minimal upgrades it can beat sunday cup, clubman cup, 4wd, the lancer one make, japanese 90s, japanese championship, all easy and normal special conditions, turbo, and theres probably many more that i cant think of at the moment lol

@@YellowbirdYT Definitely. The resets may as well be worth it given how it drives - a potential car to use in the GT Championship, Endurance and Extreme Hall. Did some races in the Regional halls to get to 25% so the cars I got from the Licenses, Missions Special Condition and Regional Halls are able to do REAL Damage. With a well timed purchase of a 10.0km Eunos Roadster, I'm able to do the 4hr Roadster Challenge and got a Yellow RX-7 LM. With a proper in game cash flow, I'm able to buy those 10.0km used cars without a care for its price. Now I just await the day where the 4 Black cars arrive at the used car lot.

[@hartonosutrisno5452]

There are lots of used cars you can bought during day 1 and most of Streamers always find Suzuki Capucinno with low mileage or FC RX-7 1990 era. As for me, I will take 2 option : Lan Evo 2/3 or Impreza Ver.II which can be found almost for 10k and it was really powerful for B License since AI cars are mostly Compacts and Kei cars. Every people always have their own preferences and I always go for powerful but cheap to buy. Each Region have different prices on GT Auto and you will have cheapest on Europe but Expensive in US which most of us avoid US version since they are not friendly on early game.

I can't remember which car i started with in my first start, but i do remember that i pick the 89s Mazda MX5 in Silver Metallic in 9/10 times i start this game. I think it is a great car, has access to many races, is fun to drive and for me kinda nostalgia at this point. I had the RX7 once or twice, felt kinda wrong but sure worked out, and a Silvia. :D

[@TGears314]

0:34 well, I’ve been on KZbin for over 10 years, and I’ve only seen this video about gran turismo 4😅 as an avid race sim player, idk if that makes me more or less likely to have seen it

[@kenjamago3977]

Maybe you've forgotten another one of the possible starter car Enter Hyundai Click Type-R '04. Yes i know it's only available on the Korean release of the game & Spec II Mod but the fact that it costed around 10k you could for a fact buy this car outright as your starter & maybe suffered becuz of it. If you're a total masochist then buy this car as your starter

[@YellowbirdYT]

Adding a region exclusive car is, at least, a bit outlandish given most of us won't play said release. Spec II isn't public for the time being.

[@beastzerkerjet]

you know, it is possible to start racing with the Zonda LM race car by winning prizes from driving missions (or to have a 318,000 credit starting fund...) as such my favorite starting car is the Dodge RAM Truck.

[@Exponaut_R-01]

Throw in the Group C prototype R89C if you want to extend the Driving Missions further than the Slipstream Battles for the Zonda You’ll have to beat Mission 34 though heh

42:36 bro really entered pit 😂

[@bruvlocke1312]

[@YellowbirdYT]

I appreciate it! Thank you!

[@93DeeLocGaming]

any cheap evo from the used garage will handle the competition for a while. this is my fave GT and still play it when i can til this day.

[@jennifahjennii5023]

THAT'S NOT WHAT BEGS THE QUESTION MEANS

[@nateoverthehorizon1176]

I love that you add Pokémon music, gran turismo to me is the Pokemon game of cars

[@YellowbirdYT]

I wanted to play Pokemon and well, it came out naturally. Glad you liked it!

[@adamlach6572]

i always thought most started by doing licences on bronze and using Nismo 270r for capri rally.

[@mattiasgarvello185]

The Isuzu Piazza was designed by the same person who designed the FIAT Panda, Delorean, Countach and DeTomaso Mangusta

[@jacintodc1206]

Videazo amigo 🔥🇦🇷

[@YellowbirdYT]

Gracias!!

[@JayZee-lo8qy]

Miata every time, great for Sunday, clubman, rwd, convertible races, and Japan races. It’s so versatile in available race entries

[@YellowbirdYT]

Miata is pretty good!

[@alrecks619]

i went with either EK Type R or Evo (was it Evo I or II? idk) coz i think they left you with enough money for oil change but also had performance to boot.

[@YellowbirdYT]

The EK9 Type R doesn't leave you enough for an oil change, at 9990 credits, the Evo does though. And yes, Evo 1.

[@thedood-d4x]

Didn't expect pokemon music in the backround lol 👏

[@YellowbirdYT]

Small world.

[@jackkoffman5742]

I have a question. I built a ‘99 opel tigra and I was wondering how I should set up the downforce on front wheel drive cars?

[@leftundersun]

Obs.: I haven't watched the video yet My favorite starter car is the Supra SZ-R, I just have to take the first licence and sell the prize car to get one

[@Hentrix15]

The Pokémon background music… a man of culture 🤌🏼

[@zandercraft1168]

50:50 made me laugh so hard, unexpected maneuver

[@YellowbirdYT]

Average Cita Di Aria moment.

[@DatOneCat]

I'm curious, with the mods mentioned here are they only limited to the budget or what you could get when you buy the car first? Because I'm a bit surprised that tires aren't mentioned here considering how much they also affect the car's handling.

[@YellowbirdYT]

They are limited to a 10K budget, a set of sport softs would cost you around 7K. While they are useful, I find there are better things to invest on at first.

[@DatOneCat]

@@YellowbirdYT Gotcha, gotcha. 👌

[@AnthroGearhead]

a solid video of good advice for those who dont understand professional racing games

[@HimeSiffie]

i still remember embarrassing myself by selling my used championship white honda civic EK9 type R for a honda today G when i was a youngin

[@TallTapper]
