I found the driving in GTA IV to be very enjoyable, it felt a bit like driving in an American 1970s action movie, powerslides and bouncy suspension everywhere. In that regard, the driving was very similar to that in GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas. In comparison, the driving in GTA V is much more arcade-like, like a racing game. That obviously made the racing segments more controllable, but I think it lost some of the charm.
