How do compact cars in GTA Online change when they’re fully upgraded? Does upgrading some cars improve their relative performance more than others? And just which cars can you use when they’re fully modded to help you win races in GTA Online? This Top 6 Fastest Compact Cars in GTA 5 aims to answer all of those questions, as every single car in GTA Online is taken around a proper racing track to find a definitive list of the best fully upgraded compact cars based on racing performance.
Compacts typically aren’t constantly the most famous cars to race with in GTA 5, but they can sure be fun. Compacts are a short wheelbase car that generally have a large rear hatch. They are some of the tiniest form element vehicles in GTA 5 and are fairly simple to manage as well as utilize. If you are seeking the best compact cars to race with in GTA 5, after that look below on top 6 options to buy and also upgrade in game to ensure that you don’t get captured at the end of the line in your next compact race.
If you’re interested in drag racing, this is not the place for you. If you’re interested in top speed tests, this is not the place for you. If you’re interested in knowing which fully modded compact cars you can use in custom races, around tracks that actually present some corners and take some skill to navigate, to help you win or at least compete, this is the place for you. Or if you’re simply interested in knowing how all the cars in every vehicle class in the game perform relative to each other once fully upgraded you’ll get a lot from watching this series.
6. Karin Dilettante
The Karin Dilettante is powered by an electric motor and an internal combustion engine at the same time in with a 5 speed automatic. The car is more managable than the Bollokan Prairie, especially when turning at low to moderate speeds. The combustion engine is also more noticeable in terms of sound, with a unique, almost ‘odd firing’, roary tone, alongside its single speed (CVT) gearbox. It has considerably weak bodywork, as even low speed crashes can result in major body deformation. It is also severely affected by bullets.
5. Bollokan Prairie
The Bollokan Prairie is a very good performance in the compact class. The engine seems to be a twin-cam 4 Cylinder. The acceleration takes a bit of time to accelerate to its proper pace as it generates wheel spin, but can reach a relatively good top speed. Tests have found that the Bollokan Prairie generates unusual but staggering acceleration going downhill with very little chance of making the front lose control which gives the car a good advantage in a race.
When cornering, this compact car is quite responsive, but not great. It’s front wheel drive drivetrain ensures that the rear doesn’t break traction when cornering, and there is very minimal oversteer. The car is capable of sharp cornering, though a bit of speed may be lost when doing so. Overall, it is a great car in its class and a good beginner car.
4. Weeny Issi
The Weeny Issi was originally the smallest car in GTA V and GTA Online, until being surpassed by the Benefactor Panto. The handling and its top speed is the most superior in its class beating the Panto and Blista, although this is not always entirely the case. The acceleration is dominated by its competitor, the Panto.
Unfortunately, the Issi suffers from poor durability and crash deformation, and 2-4 head-on collisions may render the engine useless or one of the axles bent. In addition, body panels (such as fenders, quarter panels, and bumpers) tend to detach quite easily during collisions and rollovers.
3. Dinka Blista
This Dinka Blista has a lot more power than its relatively small body shape would suggest, with a top speed close to that of the Bravado Buffalo, and parring the Weeny Issi with handling performance. The car has some of the greatest traction, which make cornering a breeze, however it is extremely weak on overall straight line speed.
The car’s front engine, front wheel drive configuration causes the car to understeer at speed, which, in an inexperienced driver’s hands can be disastrous in a police chase or in a situation where maneuverability is key at speeds.
2. Benefactor Panto
The Benefactor Panto in GTA 5 is a small, light car with quick acceleration. It is powered by a model of a 3-cylinder engine, coupled to an automatic gearbox in an RR layout. This compact car has the best acceleration in its class. It only takes 5.1 seconds to reach 60 mph and has a top speed of 100 mph (160 km/h).
The handling is rather poor despite its size, as the vehicle suffers from understeer, and its durability is unremarkable, as it can only take a few head-on crashes before its axle breaks and its engine stalls.
1. Declasse Rhapsody
The Declasse Rhapsody is the top compact car to purchase and upgrade for racing purposes. It has a great top speed and acceleration. Its handling is very good, as its light weight and stiff suspension allow it to take turns at a high speed with almost no oversteer.
