The game's grinding aspect is a mixed bag; while some players find it enjoyable and balanced, others feel it becomes tedious and frustrating, especially in the early stages.

You can just keep making the same car for years to get the most amount of money out of it and then change the model a little bit so it matches the modern cars. To be honest, it's a great idea but it's missing a lot of things like player creativity.”
- “It gets very tedious once you progress farther in the game.”
