When playing Forza Horizon 4, people rarely want to settle for the cheap route. Players get the best out of the game when driving the most powerful, fastest, most expensive cars. And no one brags about the cheap car they just bought, not on video games anyway.

But for those who don't have the credits, or those who just started the game, it's better to check out the cheaper cars, and modify them later on. That's why Forza Horizon has a lot of cheap cars in their arsenal, and these gems are the best value-for-money cars players can find.

10 2003 Volkswagen Golf R32 (18,000 Cr)

When people envision a VW Golf, they don't think luxury and style. This humble bug, while not the most exciting purchase of players' careers, it's perfect for a first car in the game, much like a young adult's first car after their license.

But other than being the safe first choice, this VW Golf has an incredibly fast launch speed, beating almost all card on this list, but it would definitely crush the Mazda or Monaro in a short drag race. It's the sensible choice, and people can have a lot of fun with this old banger. It's also one of the best value-for-money choices, being safe enough for any mother to like, but also fierce enough to smoke friends off the track.

9 Mazda RX-7 Spirit-R Type A (18,000 Cr)

Try and say this three times fast. While a mouthful to keep mentioning, the Mazda RX-7 Spirit-R Type A is considered the best value-for-money car in the entire game of Forza Horizon 4. Being the first of two A-class cars available, this could be a tricky decision for players.

But this retro sports car has an impressive index, as well as an extreme launch speed that could fix all neck problems (or break it). It also has a nice top speed that people won't be disappointed in. Also, it's great eye-candy. Mixing together the Ferrari and the Porsche, this timelessly classic design make every mouth water. It does loose some points in statistics, mostly in the brake area, because they're basically non-existent, so if anyone chooses to buy this bad boy, they need to be very careful using the brakes. It takes some getting used to.

8 2005 Vauxhall Monaro VXR (23,000 Cr)

There are the sports car lovers, and then there are the muscle lovers. This gem is somewhere in between, but more on the muscle side. This monster needs all 400 break horsepowers when trying to slow down all 3,700 lbs it's carrying.

This modern muscle's best stats lie in launch and speed, with a severe lack in braking on risky roads due to its enormous weight. Choosing between the Mazda and Vauxhall might be hard, but the latter has slightly better stats to back it up. And players can have a lot of fun with this one.

7 1998 Nissan Silvia K's Aero (25,000 Cr)

For those who love the thrill of drifting, this relatively cheap car is the one to look out for. Being only a few thousand credits away from the cheapest of cars, drifting cars in the game don't get cheaper than this. Some tweaks and upgrades here and there will surely bring the most out of the car, but that's true to any fictional and real machines as well.

The 1998 Nissan Silvia is the perfect base to build on, and any car a player buys will eat up a few extra thousand credits to fully upgrade, so why not start with a well-established base?

6 Honda S2000 CR (25,000 Cr)

While it has a subpar design, this car doesn't disappoint when talking about cheap but effective cars.

It has great potential for upgrading and design, so it's the perfect base to get any player started. Its launch statistics are great, so everyone can watch as it jumps ahead in races.

5 1970 Volkswagen #1107 Desert Dingo Racing Stock Bug (25,000 Cr)

The perfect cross country car, this little bug is the best and cheapest for gallivanting through the rougher terrains. Most off-roaders in the game are much more expensive, so if someone is on a tighter budget, this cutie will definitely be good enough.

Regarding races, it won't make a mark against the Corvettes of the game, but is great for those first races in the game. The suspension is amazing, so it definitely holds its own when off-roading it. And everyone loves a classic buggy look and feel.

4 1995 BMW M5 (25,000 Cr)

The classic BMW design is timeless. Even those who don't care for cars know this design and instantly think BMW. This is design at its finest, right up there with the gods like the classic Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, and Ford.

A beautiful piece of engineering, this beamer doesn't disappoint in statistics either. Housing 342 horses' worth under that little hood, because he's a thicker model, handling can be struggle, but those horses really show in speed. This classic cop car

3 2002 Chevy Corvette Z06 (35,000 Cr)

Heading into the more expensive of the list, this Chevy Corvette is built for speed. Forza Horizon won't give speed for just a few thousand credits, so players will definitely need to invest a little more if they want to float like a Cadillac and sting like a Beemer.

This is the cheapest of the speedy cars, but the ratings don't let her down. She will definitely hold her own in any race, especially if players invest in upgrading. Even without any upgrades, players can easily get her to go 175 mph, so there's a lot of potential.

2 2018 Ford Mustang GT (40,000 Cr)

For those who want to cut right to the chase, win a lot of races, and get ahead of the game as cheaply as humanly possible, this is the best first investment. This beast has the best performance of the cheaper cars at a rating of A 778.

From speed, to launch and handling, the 2018 Ford Mustang GT can hold its own against even the more expensive cars in the game. And with just a few upgrades and maybe an engine swap, no one will know that this was a cheap investment.

1 1957 BMW Isetta 300 Export (45,000 Cr)

Finally, for those who like to explore the hidden easter eggs in the game. Forza Horizon 4 placed a lot of reward boards in hard-to-reach places, making this baby the perfect candidate to fish them out.

If players want to find these rewards, this is the cheapest way to do it, and well... look at it, it's incredibly cute. Just as in life, players need to learn to enjoy the simple things in the game. And imagine the look on people's faces when they see this jewelry box driving by.
