Makigai MaiMai P126: The Beloved Underdog of Cyberpunk 2077
In the vast world of Cyberpunk 2077, where players have plenty of vehicles to choose from, one tiny hatchback has captured the hearts of many. The Makigai MaiMai P126, the most affordable car in the game, has gained a dedicated fanbase that adores its aesthetics and versatility.
The Best Car in Cyberpunk? Some Reddit Users Think So
One Reddit user, Revolutionary-Time76, confidently declared the MaiMai as the “best-looking, best status symbol, best handling—a jack-of-all-trades.” While their argument may not have convinced everyone, it sparked a wave of support for the beloved hatchback.
Other players chimed in, expressing their own admiration. Cannabis-Dog420 mentioned how they loved the way V opens the doors to shoot, while FoxInATrenchcoat humorously added that rolling down the windows would cost extra.
Every Player’s First Ride: The MaiMai Phenomenon
It’s hard to find anyone who dislikes the MaiMai, as for many players, it becomes their first purchased vehicle to explore Night City after the Archer Hella EC-D i360. The experience of buying your first ride in the game is unmatched.
Other Hidden Gems: The Quadra Type-66 ‘Hoon’ and The Porsche 911 II Turbo
While the MaiMai steals the spotlight, there are quieter voices praising other exceptional cars. DarkCrasher99, for instance, passionately supports the Quadra Type-66 ‘Hoon,’ a new variant in the Cyberpunk universe. This car not only excels in performance but also holds emotional value as a tribute to late star Ken Block and his ‘Hoonigan’ YouTube channel.
Surprisingly, the only licensed vehicle in Cyberpunk, the Porsche 911 II (930) Turbo, didn’t generate much excitement. This classic car stands out in terms of aesthetics and handling in a futuristic world. However, its inclusion in the game must have come at a significant cost, as Porsche has typically been cautious about associating their brand with violence.
Could A New Contender Emerge?
While the MaiMai reigns supreme for now, another vehicle might eventually steal its crown. The adorable Tanishi T400 pickup truck has gained a fan following of its own, thanks to a thread by West-Librarian-7504. However, its maneuverability and lack of suitable off-road suspension may dampen its prospects. Nevertheless, the MaiMai remains the go-to choice for hasty mall runs, stylish dates, and even bank robberies.
