Yeh so what if you can't customize your cars, this game reminds me of the racing games at the arcade, and it is fun and the graphics are amazing for its time, it could have improved by adding damage, better smoke, and that one car that is really fast is so hard to control but it was built for real hardcore players like meh. So there are 3 cars that are available at the beginning for your use to use in your career, they are modified to suit for the easy driver, the average driver, and the expert driver, i chose the car for the expert driver. As you progress through the career, your car gets upgraded and its looks are modified too and has more power, acceleration and handing. I would recommend you to rent it before buying it though.
