User blog comment:ShinnyShin/The Problems with Elite Cars/@comment-25051390-20170218211126

Overall, I have to say that I have uneasy feelings towards elite cars. As mentioned by other posts, elite cars wear out after just a few races, significantly reducing the net income of a session with that car.

Furthermore, elite cars have been extremely buggy during the Rio de Janeiro Update, resulting in me sitting out BXR Bailey Blade GT1's EDD. Even today, multiplayer related bugs ''still' are present, notably when a Multiplayer Weekend Cup is active.

Yes, it is nice to respec them to suit different situations, but that is generally not a powerful perk.

Lunar New Year 2017 Update (a.k.a the Year of the Rooster) is probably one of the worst updates yet, as every car in the update that is neither R&D nor Championship is an elite car.
