Forza Horizon 4: 10 Best Value-For-Money Cars You Must Buy

And in pole position, we present to you... The humble Volkswagen Golf R32!

Now, this 20k bargain might not look like a lot, but it could be the most exciting purchase of your Forza Horizon 4 career. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but it's a good first buy. Much like a student's first banger when they pass their driving test, this 2003 entry is a classic "first car".

The Golf also has easily the fastest launch speeds of any car on this list, and as such, you would back it to do well even against the Mazda or Monaro in a short drag race. But instead of zooming away for a lunchtime Maccies like so many students in the past, you could be zooming in legal races around the country, or just exploring, on a road trip in an old banger.

It seems apparent that you could have a lot of fun with the Golf, and it's also the sensible choice. You can tell your mother that you bought a car with all-wheeled drive for those perilous winter roads, but then smoke your mates off the line to win credits towards a more exciting label. This is a car you could really grow to love.

The Golf is the most sensible choice, the most economical choice, and the best value for money choice. Drive safe.
