The Home of Los Santos Betting - LS Bets. There are plenty of premium and exclusive cars available starting from 500$/ticket! #LSBETS
I know that trucks are exciting, muscle cars are fabulous, sports cars are breathtaking and classics are just so iconic that I can't skip them! But what if I finish the Asterope talk and make a review of the modern generation, the 2013 model, the seventh generation? Let's do it and find out, what can it offer to the future owner!

Oh, yeah. The midsize by Karin was always incredibly boring, and it's boring even now. It doesn't attract the potential customers with its styling, performance, low price or even nice equipment inside. These cars are all about simplicity, reliability, they hold a high resale value, and they are simply the ones you can't go wrong with.
The 2013 Karin Asterope RS looks like a regular sedan from its era. It's not good-looking, not revolutionary, like the fifth generation of the Asterope, the GZ model was. But, at least, it aged a lot better here. Personally, I'd still go with Dinka's Chavos or basically any German midsize from that era, because they just look better, you have to admit it. Though, the Vapid's Torrence aged a lot worse, and everything that I can say is that infamous Karin's design team did their job relatively well.
The aftermarket parts are basically non-existent here. Yes, you can get different bumpers with different trim levels, you can get your grille covered in chrome in XLE trim level. But who cares, when there aren't a lot of factory wheels, no differences in headlights or taillights. This is just boring, dull and no aftermarket brands, producing stuff for it, just prove my theory.
And the car isn't that common on the streets. It's not easy to find one, because Karin raised the price tag slightly, since the dirt cheap fifth generation was out.
Looks: ★★★★☆ | Amount of aftermarket parts: ★★☆☆☆ | Rareness: ★★★☆☆
Talking about the performance, we definitely should speak of the engine, the mighty and indestructible 3.5 Liter N/A V6, producing 268 horsepower and 248 lb.-ft. of torque. It doesn't do the job great on the fuel efficiency, but gives the Asterope RS the ability to go from 0 to 60 in 7.1 seconds, which is surprisingly good for a family sedan. Unfortunately, the SE and XSE trim exclusive sports suspension just ruins all the ride quality and doesn't give any driving pleasure too. Well, that was predictable.
The car has showed 01:59.11 on our secret test track, and it gives it the second place among all the daily drivers we've tested yet!
Top speed: ★★★★☆ | Acceleration: ★★★★☆ | Lap Time: ★★★★☆
Talking about the interior, I can mention that Karin stepped up their game on it. Better faux leather, decent speakers, a nice screen, dual zone climate control and even iFruit Car Play on later models of this generation. It's spacious, the rear seat is great for the kids or a bunch of drunk friends (tested). And the trunk is surprisingly roomy too.
Pricing is still fine. It's not expensive, you can still find an amazing deal second-hand, these are not expensive cars to own. Definitely, it's still a strength.
Value? Phenomenal. If you don't need a cool car, this is one of the go-tos. You can't go wrong with a car, where you can find a replacement bumper on your neighbor's backyard.
Interior and practicality: ★★★★☆ | Price: ★★★★★ | Value: ★★★★★
A bit less boring, if it's not black. Covers all your needs. Costs nothing. Drives alright, but not exciting. A great first car, because it's safe, and a great last car, because you'll never ever see it breaking down.
Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Do our experts recommend?: ✅
