The Crew Motorfest: Best starter car to pick

Once you’re past the prologue races in The Crew Motorfest, you’ll have to pick from three available cars. So, here’s the best starter car you can pick. 

While The Crew Motorfest has a massive catalog of 600-plus vehicles, your journey to the car culture buffet starts with a humble choice of three cars. It’ll matter less if you’ve opted to import your collection from The Crew 2, but players who are geared for a fresh trip to Hawaii will want to make a perfect choice.

Most of what you’d be doing with your starter car in The Crew Motorfest is burning the rubber and cruising your way to the next race, as most in-race vehicles are loaned. You will, however, explore most of the island early with one of these starter cars.

So, here’s the best starter car to pick in The Crew Motorfest.

What is the best Starter Car in The Crew Motorfest?

What you pick does come down to preference, but if you’re after a good overall pick the BMW M40i is the best starter car to choose.

Early on, The Crew Motorfest will ask you to pick from three cars:

• 2019 BMW Z4 M40i Motorfest Edition
• 2009 Honda S2000 Motorfest Edition
• 2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Motorfest Edition

Here’s a detailed rundown of all these cars and how they fare up against each other.

All The Crew Motorfest starter car stats

2024 Ford Mustang GT Convertible Motorfest Edition

Power: 486 BHP
Weight: 1780 kg
Speed: 250 km/h
Acceleration: 3.8s

While all of the three starter cars are billed the same in terms of speed, the Ford Mustang GT has the best acceleration, making it the fastest among the bunch. All at the cost of agility, though, as it is heaviest among the three.

If you prefer muscle cars and all you’re after is speed, by all means, the Ford Mustang GT is your best pick.

2009 Honda S2000 Motorfest Edition

Power: 240 BHP
Weight: 1295 kg
Speed: 250 km/h
Acceleration: 6.2s

The Honda S2000 is the slowest among the group taking the highest time to accelerate, but it is also the lightest among the three. Unless this is your love at first sight, there is little reason to pick this over the other two. Sure it’ll allow for more slick turns but that is of little use, as the other options aren’t too bad themselves.

2019 BMW Z4 M40i Motorfest Edition

Power: 335 BHP
Weight: 1610 kg
Speed: 250 km/h
Acceleration: 4.5s

The BMW Z4 M40i is the most reliable, and perhaps the best pick. Not the fastest, nor the lightest, but finds a good common ground between speed and weight. It is 0.7s slower in terms of acceleration than the fastest and weighs just about 315 kg more than the lightest.

Each of these three suit a particular preference so there is no wrong choice here, really. For more on The Crew Motorfest and other racing games, check out:
