I don't mind that the cars are faster and the backends like to slide around - real cars do that too, sometimes - as long as running a red light earns me a fine and an angry bobby on my tail.

Mafia 3 seems to be going for something more traditional for driving in 1968 New Bordeaux, in that its motoring is inspired by Steve McQueen movies like Bullitt. I remember people complaining about its slow, period-appropriate cars at the time, but now it seems to be a fondly recalled part of the experience. One of the great pleasures of the original Mafia was flicking on the speed limiter and cruising around 1930s New Heaven, obeying the traffic laws.
