Yeah I bought it on Steam sale for 5 dollars and this is absolutely BREAKING the game for me. I want to go fast and be able to precisely handle my car so I can outrun cops, get around the city, etc.; and I can't do it on GTA4. I even used the cheat codes to get a good car to see if they handle better, and they barely did, but it still felt like I was driving a damn boat.
Even at a slow to moderate speed you can't keep your car from crashing.
