To give you an example, driving a 4WD Nissan Skyline, putting on the breaks to take a corner, slowing to 30 to 40 mph, and guess what, I still end up in the dirt. I could take some of the corners faster with my Mirage,(my real car). The AI sucks, they drive a line whether you are there or not, and of course they never make mistakes. These problems actually started with GT3, I had hoped they would be fixed in GT4. IMO they only got worse. The problem could be that they made it too much of a sim, and for that you would need a special chair and wheel and pedals, so you can get the accurate tactile feedback to drive the car. Oh, the reviews USA side have all been in the 9 range. I think they were blinded by the beauty of the game.
