5 cars in Forza Horizon 5 that have the best handling

Forza Horizon 5, the latest casual, street-racing iteration from Playground Games, is filled with events and different racing circuits in a fictionalized and beautifully portrayed Mexico.

The title emerged as one of the most-played games of 2021. Xbox Game Pass's lucrative offers also helped the title expand its reach.

The game features several different types of cars, each serving a purpose. There are road, dirt, and cross-country races taking place almost all the time, and each type of race requires a specific type of vehicle.

In any race, one of the most critical factors to look forward to in a car is its handling. The better it is, the easier it will be to take those sharp turns that come up on tracks.
