Forza Horizon 5: From Garage Zero to Hero in record time (without turning tricks for tips!)
Let's face it, you've landed in the vibrant playground of Mexico and your starting car looks like it belongs in a museum (not the cool, classic kind). You see these beasts roaring past, blurring the lines between asphalt and sunshine, and all you can think is: "How do I get a car that wasn't hoisted from the junkyard with chewing gum and duct tape?"
Fear not, fellow gearhead! This guide will slingshot you from rusty jalopy to asphalt assassin in quicker time than a chihuahua can down a taco.
Method 1: Embrace Your Inner Superstar (the most fun option)
- Become a Horizon Superstar: This game practically throws cars at you for winning races, completing challenges, and just generally being awesome. Dominate showcases, smash through PR stunts, and level up like a boss. Pretty soon, you'll have more cars than you know what to do with (and a serious case of confetti inhalation).
Pros: Scenic drives, tire-shredding races, and the joy of proving you're the ultimate Horizon driver. Plus, free cars! Who doesn't love free cars?
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Cons: Requires actual driving skill. But hey, isn't that why you bought the game?
Method 2: The Wheel of Maybe (low effort, high chance of disappointment)
- The Super Wheelspin: Every now and then, you get a spin on the magical Super Wheelspin. It could land you a pimped-out Bugatti or a souped-up lawnmower (don't judge, lawnmower racing is a thing... maybe).
Pros: Pure, unadulterated gambling! The thrill of the unknown! The crushing despair of getting socks (yes, socks are a prize... don't ask).
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
Cons: Relies entirely on luck. The odds of winning a top-tier car are lower than your chances of outrunning a flock of angry geese.

Method 3: The Auction House - From Garage Sale to Powerhouse
- Bargain Bin Bonanza: The Auction House is a treasure trove (or junkyard, depending on your perspective) of cars bought and sold by other players. With a keen eye and a little patience, you can snag a steal on a seriously sweet ride.
Pros: Targeted hunting for exactly the car you want. The satisfaction of scoring a deal that would make Scrooge McDuck blush.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Cons: Prices can be as inflated as a bouncy castle. You might end up in a bidding war with a millionaire who collects virtual cars for fun.
Method 4: The Completionist Hustle (not for the faint of heart)
- Accolade Annihilation: Forza Horizon 5 throws "Accolades" at you like confetti. These are basically in-game achievements for everything from winning races to performing ridiculous stunts. Completing them often unlocks special cars, some of which are real barn-finders (in the best way possible).
Pros: Unlocks not just cars, but also new races, challenges, and customization options. The ultimate way to master the game.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
Cons: Can be a serious time commitment. Be prepared to spend hours perfecting your drift or mastering the art of narrowly avoiding oncoming traffic.
Remember: The most important thing is to have fun! Experiment, race your friends, and don't be afraid to try something ridiculous (lawnmower races, anyone?). After all, in the world of Forza Horizon 5, the only limit is your imagination (and maybe your bank account, if you get too hooked on the Auction House). Now get out there and collect some cars, piloto!
