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

If sports cars aren't your thing, how about a bit of muscle? Flexing into bronze position is the Vauxhall Monaro VXR, a Modern Muscle with nearly 400 brake horsepower.

Those horsepowers are put to good use, however, pulling this 3,700lb monster across the line. As with the fourth-placed Mazda, its best stats lie in launch and speed, with another severe lack when it comes to braking. This could be even more of a problem with such a heavy car, especially in winter seasons with ice and snow on the roads.

Our second and final A-class, you'd be hard pressed to choose between the Vauxhall and the Mazda, with the former being statistically and mathematically slightly better. Slightly to the tune of an extra 5 on the Performance Index for your 25,000 credits. So it essentially comes down to whether you'd prefer a sports car or a muscle car.

While there are two cars that are better value for your credits, the two A-classes are objectively better cars. They may not be the most sensible, but you'll have the most fun with them, and they'll do you well in the long run, whereas cheaper cars may become outclassed quicker.
