what are the best jdm cars in gta 5.
that is the question i'm here to answer
the game has tons of japanese cars
available and by weighing up multiple
factors such as customization looks and
performance i've created a list of my
top 10 picks for the best jdm cars in
gta 5. if you find this video helpful

this video will not include any next-gen
exclusive cars and if there are any
other recommendations for cars i didn't
include in this video i'd love to hear
about them in the comments with all of
that out of the way let's take a look at
the whips to start things off we have
the anus euros now this car is based off
of the nissan 350z if you want one it's
going to cost you 1.8 mil on legendary
motorsport or one million three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars at the trade
price now this car is great because it
has a lot of variety and its
customization options as it is a tuner's
dlc vehicle and it has a lot of very
detailed upgrades and body mods
performance wise it's decent you know
decent speed decent handling but nothing
that you're going to be dominating in
races with if you're into drifting it's
also a pretty good car for that so it's
a decent pick all round at the ninth
spot we have the anus elegy rh8 now this
car is massively underrated and it is
based off of the nissan skyline gtr the
r35 if you want to buy one it is free if
you have a social club account linked to
your profile or if you don't it's going
to set you back 95 grand the reason this
car should be looked out a little more
than it is is thanks to its great
performance as for such an old car it is
actually one of these fastest sports
cars in the class obviously on next gen
it's not going to compete at all with
any of the hsw cars before a slot who
was still on ps4 and xbox one it's
actually pretty decent it will surprise
some of you like especially that top end
speed it also has great handling and the
only thing that i can really think of
that sets it back is its limited
customization options but you can offset
that with the fact that the car can be
upgraded to the elegy retro custom in
the benny's workshop it's basically free
there's no reason not to cop one go
ahead and try it out next up on the list
we have the dinka bliss the kanjo it's
based off of the honda civic type r the
ek9 and you can buy one for 580 000 on
southern san andreas or for
435 000 with the trade price now i'm a
massive fan of the civic thanks to its
great customization options i went for a
more of a kanjisoku style build for this
one and it's actually pretty decent for
its class as well being the second
fastest compact car in the game
personally i'm not the biggest fan of
its handling especially when it's
lowered but for anyone looking for a new
addition to the jdm garage it's a solid
choice the futo gtx is gonna slide into
seventh place for this list setting you
back one million five hundred and ninety
thousand on sun san andreas or one point
one nine mil with the trade price now
it's based on the iconic toyota corolla
a86 the sprinter truano and it is a
great car to pick up it has amazing
customization options with tons of
unique body mods and deliveries to make
it a very good looking and very
customizable car performance wise it's
definitely not the fastest thing out
there but it's got pretty good handling
and for any of you who want to live out
those initial d dreams yes this car is
actually pretty sick at drifting as well
at the number six spot we've got a
returning car from gta san andreas it is
the anus zr350 this car is looking
better than ever and it is based on the
mazda rx-7fd if you want one it's gonna
set you back around one million six
hundred thousand on legendary
motorsports or around 1.2 mil with the
trade price performance wise it's
nothing too special it's pretty average
and it does have pretty twitchy handling
which can make it a little bit harder to
control but as with most cars on this
list it has a ton of customization
options available so it will satisfy
your tuna itch in my opinion that makes
it a solid addition to any jdm
collection to understand the extent of
what i mean with these tunas dlc cars
especially look at the engine bay here
almost all of the parts in there are
fully customizable lots of unique body
modifications for half of these cars
they are just super well done a lot of
detail and honestly a great pick based
on the nissan silvia s13 we've got the
annis reimus coming in here at the
number five spot you can buy this car
for about 1 million three hundred and
seventy thousand on the southern san
andreas website or for about one million
with the trade price like most tuna's
cars it has amazing customization
options there are so many things that
you can tune on this thing and as well
as it's great styling and its
modifications it has pretty good
handling decent performance and if
you're into drifting it is incredibly
good for drifting as well for my next
pick we have the karin sultan rs which
is coming in for about 975
and that's the price for the benny's
conversion as you need to get the
original sultan for 12 000 and then
upgrade it at the benny's workshop now
this is another great choice for anyone
trying to expand their jdm collection
it's based on the toyota orteza or the
lexus is 300 depends where you live and
it is a very good looking car with tons
of great customization options available
being a benny's car there are tons of
different options that you can pick all
sorts of body mods maybe not as
expensive as some of the tuners dlc cars
but it's pretty good very good looking
and it has great fitment when you use
the stance trick on it making it a great
pick for meat if you're going to be
using this thing for performance driving
as well it has very good acceleration
and pretty good handling as well overall
a very solid pick and i'd highly
recommend it in third place we've got
the karin kaliko gtf an all-wheel drive
powerhouse that is based on the rally
legend that is the toyota seleca gt4 you
can buy one of these for around 1
million
995 grand on southern san andreas or
with the trade price it will set you
back just shy of 1.5 million now this
car like many others on this list has a
ton of great customization options
available i know you're probably sick of
hearing me say this but honestly the
level of detail and the range of body
mods available for cars from the tunis
dlc and any of the benny's cars are
honestly unparalleled it is immense on
top of those customization options
though this car has very good
performance it has great acceleration
and a very good speed going for it but
the only issue it has is it does
understand quite badly in the corners so
it's better used for really an off-road
setup in my opinion another personal
quirk i really like about the car is its
startup sound
and i just think it adds a nice touch to
it for the number two spot i've paired
both of these cars together as they are
both so similar and those are the sultan
classic and the sultan rs classic both
will set you back around 1.7 million on
southern san andreas with the sultan rs
classic costing up just shy of 1.4
million if you unlock the trade price
between the two of them they're
incredibly similar having decent albeit
almost identical customization options
and very good performance especially in
the acceleration department in my
opinion the sultan classic has slightly
better handling and the sultan rs
classic has a little bit more speed and
customization options being a tunis dlc
car both are very good picks and welcome
addition to any jdm garage on a quick
note before we touch on the number one
car if you haven't already join our
discord server down below we host car
meet every single day and have support
for all platforms we're so close to 6

become a part of our awesome community
as well as that the jester classic is
not going to be included on this list
due to its speed glitch it is a decent
car but this is not how the car is
intended to act and it will likely be
patched in the coming weeks or months
and i didn't feel it'll be worth
including as this isn't going to be
representative of how it will handle
later down the line that's all i've got
to say let's get into the number one car
now at the number one spot you guys
probably expected this it's the anus
elegy retro custom you can pick one up
by buying the elegy rh8 and then
upgrading it for nine hundred and four
thousand dollars at the benny's workshop
yes the car maybe it's a little bit
overrated but it's for good reason the
car has brilliant customization options
thanks to its benny's conversion making
it very easy to create all sorts of
builds with it it also has very good
styling thanks to its inspiration from
the timeless nissan skyline r32 and has
decent performance and handling for its
class i've got about 10 builds of it
myself 10 different styles and it's
always a welcome addition to a jdm car
meme now that is going to be it for this
list now if you want to see an awesome
