* ObviousBeta: ''Test Drive 5'' and its UsefulNotes/PlayStation version is known to be one of those games in the series that was rushed for the holiday season, with unfinished car models and features to boot, such as the surround sound option, which breaks some of the sound effects, and causes the game to play low-quality music tracks from the point to point tracks if you're in a circuit race. Luckily, the PC version was a bit more polished.
* PolishedPort: The [[UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast Dreamcast]] version of ''Test Drive: Le Mans'' was a massive upgrade over the UsefulNotes/PlayStation original, to the point that it almost counts as a new game under the same name. In fact, the European release, as well as the Windows and UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 ports, are titled ''Le Mans 24 Hours'', without the ''Test Drive'' brand, to make the distinction clearer.

** ''Eve of Destruction'' has four classes: Compact cars are on the cheap side in Career and, barring a few outliers, are rather frail and slow; Midsize cars are fairly average, both in performance and price; Muscle cars are an assortment of {{fragile speedster}}s, {{mighty glacier}}s, and {{lightning bruiser}}s, and are the most expensive; Special cars are an "Other" catagory exclusive to Action Mode, and consist of cars used for certain events (the Bus for the School Bus Race and Detention, and the Hearse for the Gauntlet), joke vehicles (the Postal and the Ambulance), and themed reskins of normal cars (the Copcar and the Taxi).

* {{Sequelitis}}: SuspiciouslySimilarSong: The Pitbull Syndicate entries and theme song that plays at the ''Eve start of Destruction'' failed to woo back the fans of older original ''Test Drive'' games, sounds very similar to the point ''Unlimited'' rebooted Music/TheBeatles song "Drive My Car" (especially on the franchise from Amiga version, where the ground up for audio is more detailed). Considering what the new audiences.game is about, this is justified.

* SequelDisplacement: Many new players of the TurnOfTheMillennium started out with ''Unlimited'', rather than with the original trilogy of the late '80s, the Pitbull Syndicate games (''4'' to ''6'') of the late '90s, ''Overdrive'' or ''Eve of Destruction'' from the early '00s or the ''Off-Road'' spin-offs. ''Unlimited'' being a GenreShift ContinuityReboot doesn't help.
