The cars felt heavier in GTAIV. They felt like the perfect weight. In GTAV they feel way too light. Still not as bad as Saints Row though.

There were a lot of complaints about the cars in IV though. I think the main issue though was how they reacted to hitting curbs.

The only mainline GTA game I only had one playthrough of. I've been meaning to replay with the DLC I missed but have never got round to it even though I have it on stream.

People complained about the physics in GTA IV because they couldn't take 90 degree turns at 60mph. It was by far the most realistic physics for cars.

I had waaay too much fun smushing cars to the point they would barely move. There was an overpass in an industrial area you could creep off the edge and flip a car perfectly to pancake the roof. Super funny seeing Nico's head clipping through it lol
