Which car to pick?

Let me begin by saying that if you give great priority to how their Cars look, go for the Lamborghini Countach 25th anniversary edition (1988). It is the best-looking starter car. Now, let’s check out which starter car is best for beginners.

Usually, people take the easier road, as in, they select the car that they like. For example, the Charger is a muscle car, the Countach can be categorized as a supercar, and the Silvia can be termed a JDM car.

These are different categories, and people have their preferences. However, before you make the decision, we’ve got some additional insights that you should probably overlook once before you pick your piece of aluminum.

At the start of the game, when you don’t have much idea about the maps and the routes, a car that helps you stay more on the road and less on the sidewalk, is what you should aim for. You do not need speed or acceleration that much. And that is why, I personally think that the Dodge Charger is best Starter Car in NFS Unbound.

It is an almost-complete package. The top speed isn’t as good as either the Countach or the Silvia. However, it’s not too less either. The car handles drifts remarkably well, and out of the three, this is the best option for off-road.

Additionally, the car has the highest horsepower among the three. We recommend you go for the Charger R/T if you want a balanced/complete package. 

As we mentioned above, the Countach is a supercar, and a more significant number of people might go for it straight up, considering that it’s a Lambo. We won’t deny that it’s pretty fast and performs well in that aspect, however, It doesn’t have any off-road capabilities. Moreover, it doesn’t have the best horsepower in the range either. Nevertheless, it’s still an excellent option if going fast on a straight/complete road is what you’re looking for. 

Finally, The JDM option. The Nissan Silvia K is the best option for people looking for speed and decent drift performance. One drawback however is that the car won’t perform as good as the Charger in terms of off-roading. We consider the Silvia a perfect option if you’re confused between going for the Countach or the Charger. It’s got the highest top speed, backed by the ability to drift well. 

Overall, our pick would be the Charger if you’re looking for a complete package. The choice is, once again, yours to make.
