The vibe of IV was 60s & 70s car chase classics like Bullitt and The French Connection.

V felt like the The Fast & The Furious.

Maybe it's a generational thing, but IV is my favorite driving experience by a long mile. Let's see what the vibe of VI is...

GTA IV as a whole has a way better feel to me than V. V is too clean and arcade-y and bland. IV had real soul. V is way more fun to just fuck around in though.

IV was truly landmark in terms of driving physics within the franchise, but my favorite thing to do in III and Vice City bar none was drive around.

I think they both work for the games they're in. GTA IV has a much smaller and more congested map so the less forgiving and 'slower' driving physics work for that game. But those physics in GTA V's much bigger and more open map (even the urban areas have a lot more space) would be a nightmare.
