Thoughts on the Karin Asterope?

[Giantsgiants]

I hardly see the Karin Asterope get mentioned on the forums, and I've never seen a player-owned Asterope in GTA Online. What are your thoughts on this car?

[DiveGummi]

It could've had potential if rockstar had added some customization to it.

[Biohazard Abyss]

Terrible.

[JayDM420]

Actually my fav car in-game. Fwd, Slow top speed, good safety standards. It's great when I'm trying to drop the kids off at the local LSC.

[GTA-Freak-Vi]

It's an ok car but lacks modifications. Seems like a great car to have IRL but in GTA, meh

I hope you're kidding, lol.

I hope you're kidding, lol.

I wish I was but I'm desperate to get a car soon so any will do for me unless of course I was a rich kid then no I wouldn't get a type of car like that..

Sounds like you need an Audi A7 on downpayment. It's very safe.

 

Unlike the MB. *cough*

I'd rather ride to work on a big wheel than drive an IRL Asterope.

To be honest, the Karin Asterope's counterpart (Toyota Camry) is probably one of the most common sedans in the Philippines.

more like 80% on that down payment

lol whatever suits your style. I'm sure you'll look normal while cruising with a big ass wheel on the streets

[Is this The Guy?]

I never seen one in a garage. Thought it was because of it's presence in the game being over bearing lol

 

It's everywhere, even in sp you can't drive down the road without running into one, that mixed with the fact that it really isn't much to look at I believe is what makes it very unpopular. I actually got sick of seeing it and that's why I never wanted to own one.

[Ezza.]

To me it always seemed a lot faster than it should be. Might be a good getaway car for heists.

I think I'm going to try and FM one out to see if it's any good. Is there a version that doesn't have a redonk sunroof? I don't want to get shot from the top.

I seem to end up in them all the time. Unremarkable for sure, I see no reason to want one.

[UnicornAssassin]

My thoughts on the Karin Asterope?

 

 

 

[Cincy32]

Funny just today I saw one and thought, "Now that's a car that no one ever has in MP."

They're not too bad. If they had more customization options then they'd be pretty cool.

And I know the real life counterpart is FWD, but I could have SWORN that the Asterope was RWD. Am I mistaken?

If you're off-radar, there is no telling you from the other people driving them. You know, NPCs.

 

Anyway, if you're in the Philippines, the most common are Karin, Dinka and Zirconium, which translates to Toyota, Honda, Subaru and Mitsubishi.

That's what a Primo is for.

I'd rather not get jacked by an obssesed rare car collector, thank you very much.

[Is this The Guy?]

LOL true, yeah there was a time where I would pick off an npc for a primo .

If I want to be off radar and stealth, I'll just jack an NPC car...

 

I get that they are popular cars IRL, nothing wrong with them. I'll even (reluctantly) admit that I owned a Camry for a few years... But I only have 10 garage spaces, so nothing boring allowed.

I just keep whatever looks kinda cool, or I can tell what the car is primarily based on.

How does that look like a Camry at all?

 

It looks more like a Honda accord, or maybe Toyota Corolla

The Accord, sure, but the Corolla? This is the Asterope, not the Intruder.

[CHIEFSTA]

If only it could be lower. I also think the grille is ugly, looks like a bbq grill.

[darkjounin]

Toyota Avalon sold here in the states. Fwd luxury, and typically driven by old people, but is not actually slow though still feels boaty.

[Cobra N]

It's actually a pretty good car when modded, but that glass only sunroof stops me using it, just too easy to then get shot from above / helicopters. Too bad.

[jdwarfer]

Nice car in sedan category racing, but it looks too casual IMO.
