The optimization of car selection in the game is criticized for being challenging due to a constantly changing showroom inventory and high prices, which detracts from the experience as many cars feel like mere cosmetic variations with similar performance capabilities.
“Buying a car is also rather difficult because the showroom constantly changes the selection, and the cars are all very expensive. Despite this, they're really just skin swaps with slightly different performances: a manor can easily win against a Mercedes when fully upgraded.”
