Honda in Forza Horizon 6

Country: Japan | Founded: 1948

I've been a Honda guy in Fh6 since day one, and tbh the Vtec legends and Type R icons are what got me into the game. Accessible performance that's actually fun to drive? Yeah. That's the whole vibe. No 2000 horsepower nonsense, just clean builds that work.

So Honda brings 1 vehicle to Forza Horizon 6. Not a huge lineup, I know. But what's here is legit, and I've put serious hours into these cars. Collecting, racing, getting sideways in drift zones, whatever you're into, these Hondas do their job and look good doing it.

What Makes Honda Special

I've found that the tuning menu is where Hondas really come alive, don't sleep on it. The top speed catches people off guard all the time, no joke. And the braking? Top-tier, fr. First time I late-braked an Nsx-R into a hairpin I was like, wait, this thing stops like a supercar from the 90s?

When I'm tuning Hondas, bumping rebound stiffness up makes a real difference. But here's the thing. They're not the best for tight corners if you push without a proper build. I've thrown away so many laps just understeering into barriers. Takes some tuning love to make them really dance.

Best Events for Honda

Honda cars perform well in road racing events. Some models also excel in drift zones with the right setup.

Anyway, that's the quick version.

Best Events for Honda

So you got yourself a Honda, where do you actually take it? I've been maining the Nsx Type S on medium to high-speed circuits and it's honestly kinda slept on. Tracks like Coastal Highway and Mountain Pass let this car really stretch its legs. Street scene is another solid pick cuz the corner exit acceleration gaps people who underestimate FWD and mid-engine Jdm cars. But dirt? Nope. Unless you've got some specific rally build going, most Hondas are pavement machines. The offroad handling is a noob trap, don't even think about it.

For online lobbies, S1 class Honda is competitive, not OP but you're not throwing either. Stock tune works for solo cruising, but sweaty multiplayer needs proper gearing and suspension. I set my final drive a touch longer than stock, cuz Hondas top out too early on fast tracks and you'll be watching everyone pass you on the straight. Not a good feeling.

Tuning Tips for Honda

I've spent weeks in the tuning menu with Hondas, and honestly it's about small refinements, not full rebuilds. These cars come from factory pretty well sorted, especially the Type R stuff. Most of my lap time gains came from tiny adjustments. Drop 2 PSI from tires for technical grip, or bump 1 PSI for top speed. The stock suspension is too stiff for Fh6's roads, and softening springs about 10 percent actually made my car faster. Took embarrassingly long to realize that.

Diff, I run higher rear bias, 65 percent rear on AWD builds, or 100 percent on RWD. Anti-roll bars one click softer front, one click stiffer rear. Kills the understeer Hondas get on corner entry. But gearing is the real secret. Honda gearboxes are set for real roads, not Fh6's short tracks. Shorten the final drive and suddenly you're launching out of corners like a different car. Huge difference.

How Honda Compares to Rivals

In Fh6's roster, Honda sits among the 5 vehicles from Japan, and I've driven pretty much all of them. Some players are diehard Honda stans, others think they're mid compared to other Jdm brands. The handling model is just unique. You either love the way they rotate or you find them twitchy. My honest advice? Drive a few Japanese brands back to back on the same track, see which handling clicks with your hands. Spec sheets don't capture how a car feels through a corner, ya know?

Collecting Tips

If you're grinding for every Honda in Fh6, start with Autoshow cars, that's just credits, easy. The wheelspin-exclusive Hondas though? That's the real grind. No guaranteed way, just luck and prayer. I check the auction house religiously, especially weekends when people are dumping cars. For seasonal reward Hondas, you just gotta wait for the playlist cycle. Mark that calendar and don't miss the week, fr, cuz it might be months before it comes back. I missed a Type R rotation once and I'm still salty.

Common Tuning Mistakes with This Brand

I see people absolutely butcher Honda tunes and it drives me crazy. The number one noob trap is maxing every upgrade without thinking about balance. A Honda with 1500 horsepower and zero traction is not a race car, it's a meme. Yep. Traction is king in Fh6, and Hondas especially need proper tires and suspension before you even think about power chasing. Another thing I see all the time, people skip weight reduction. These cars are not that heavy to begin with, and dropping a hundred kilos is worth way more than adding 50 horsepower. Start with handling, then power. And brakes. Don't you dare skip brakes. Out-braking people by 10 meters into every corner adds up to seconds per lap. I've timed it, the gap is massive.
