!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Free shipping too. That’s going to be one of the lowest prices for a while I’m assuming.

I didn’t buy it yet. Waiting for a BIG sale, or the new NFS.

Yes. Did the digital download. I think it’s better than F5, but I haven’t gone very deep into it yet.
So far, there seem to be more tracks and some interesting cars. Oddly, no Porsches until 2016. (Did I miss something about a reason for this?)
The F&F car pack is there. That’s all I’ll say about it except that the Escort is the only one I care about.
Having LimeRock and COTA as tracks is pretty cool. (full car and track list here )
You can now tune your car or change difficulty in the “start race” menu which is nice. I’ve not done a whole lot yet with add-ons and tuning so I don’t know if you can save different profiles for say LagunaSeca vs Prague.
You can also take “practice” laps from he start race menu—a great plus if you aren’t familiar with a track
I’m not sure about the whole concept of “boost” points, but (again) I’ve only spent a few hours knocking around in it.
The “spin for bonuses” business is OK. I’m sure that fast button mashers will do better than I did. I should just close my eyes and go random.
The “digital drivers” seem less stupid than before. Especially so after a rewind at which time the previous versions would just go completely suicidal. There are, however plenty of Rossi-types who overshoot the braking zone and t-bone you. (it’s the primary reason I hate, hate, hate Long Beach) If you never met Rossi, you haven’t hated an AI nearly as much as you could have.
I’m using a controller (not a wheel) and it is still pretty good.
The addition of weather to races is very well done. I can’t compare it to ProjectCars, because I’ve only messed with that a very little bit.

Main reason for no Porsche yet is one other game (pretty sure need for speed) currently has exclusive rights to them right now.
I don’t even bother with the boosts. I’ve never been tempted to even go visit that menu...
Crazy levels of details and like you pointed out smart driveatars. Rewind caused them to totally change directions on both 5 and horizon 2. They seem to make more sense here.
I wish I had a wheel but don’t want to drop more on one than my console cost me.
