The reflections, bloom FX, which I find disorientating at times, textures, etc are just really good.

Not just this, but full car customization is also put into play.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It doesn't really have any "trash" filler cars as such, apart from the Legends DLC, free on PC, which introduced things like the Mini and the Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA, which I don't mind, most of the cars are an enthralling experience to drive due to excellent sound design and well made cockpits.
