GTA IV car physics are NOT realistic

I'd be driving my car everyday and it still wouldn't give me that same feeling from GTA IV. It's almost as if I've been lied to on how cars function.

GTA 4 physics is realistic if you live in a world where cars have invisible manhole covers loosely strapped to the roof that offset your balance at every manouvre, and driving on bold tyres is a legal requirement.

 

Literally the worst handling of all 3D GTAs - and I played V.

 

My favourite pastime at the time was rock climbing; 4's cars not only couldn't climb rocks, they could barely drive on grass. Coming from SA it felt like an very big step back. And then the extreme over the top body roll even on the sports cars was just weird and took away the game world immersion.
