Since Kylotonn declared insolvency, and they plan to lay off all their staff except for the TDUSC maintenance staff, don't expect any longevity out of the game, since the game is Always Online.
88 and 86 are both blocked by the swear filter too. Microsoft has always been overly sensitive about "those" numbers, and they probably are afraid of people getting arrested for using "8647" as a license plate in FH6.

I don’t blame MS or Turn 10 tbqh. People are coming up with slick political euphemisms using mundane terms that said terms are co-opted with malicious , contextual intent. Forza Horizon is rated E for Everyone. They’ve even outlined what is acceptable or not in their terms and conditions.
I still remember Horizon 5 and bans people would get for just using 69 or 420 in vinyls, even on top of a circle....... If I can't even run my favorite racing number, there's no fun in being a racist online.
This has quite possibly the worst character creator I've ever used. And I can only sense animosity in the design of the NPCs and their dialogue. And so far the racing feels like it's on rails. I need this to open up.

It is on rails and the difficult changes how face the AI rides those rails. Play a race on Pro and watch as an AI with the exact same car as you speeds past you or this:

I regret not giving Forza Horizon 1 a chance during its heyday. I see the vision Playground Games created with having an open-world racing festival with a Forza twist.
Horizon 5 asked "what does Horizon mean to [me]" from a mission. From 1, I would say Horizon is enjoying the open road, seeing the sights, tailoring your car to YOU to be known as the champion.
Horizon's Colorado feels lively. You have festival goers racing around in free roam wanting to be challenged at your leisure. You have rivals that could talk smack or give encouragement to race against. You have opportunities to EARN cars through earning wristbands, winning prize pools, pink slips, even finding barns scattered around town.
I love the limitation where you can't just careen off road like in later Horizon titles. You're there to bask and enjoy the setting, not just destroy it. It makes sense, even if that wasn't their full intention. Less is more, and Horizon 1 had more. Soul, atmosphere, bravery, purpose.
Shame you cannot download its DLC or play online anymore as Turn 10/MS/Playground Games delisted and decommissioned its servers. What fun it could've been to race online in Colorado, play its expansions, and participate with the community.

The rubberbanding gets pretty absurd at times, but it's most notable at the start of the race. You'll have stock cars with similar/lower PI blowing past you like you're standing still from the back of the grid. I've had to turn the difficulty down a few notches in some Cross Country, Street Racing and Touge events. Turn10 had to do something to make the AI semi competitive, but the rubberbanding at times is a bit much. Other times, I'll finish a good 10 seconds ahead of the car in 2nd. I'm sure there's some level of skill issue and performance disparity at play, but not a gap between 10 seconds and finishing by a gnat's nut hair between two runs of the same race with the same cars.
On the plus side, it's good practice for players, because if you can consistently out-drive the bullshit AI without using rewinds, it's the usual business of avoiding the pileup at turn one and finishing on podium against people. So far, my experiences against other players have been pretty good. People have mostly been minding their manners. Definitely some bumping and grinding, but nobody has intentionally used me as spare set of brakes or shoved me off at a checkpoint. It's not the chaotic uncontrolled shunts in corners that annoy me, it's an arcade racer that encourages you hustle the car hard. Small collisions happen, that's what happens when you have multiple people trying to squeeze through the apex. It's entirely different when someone is intentionally grinding you on the straightaways or intentionally antagonizing you in a way that doesn't improve the race for either of you. I'm trying to take it in and enjoy it now while it's good before it inevitably goes to shit.
EDIT: I was wrong upthread. You can indeed select multiple prosthetics. Long live boneless racing, wake the fuck up samurai.
