Correct. Designs are either pre made or just chosen from a few previous made suggestions.

Horizon 3 also has the option to buy cars from the auction house.

With the free roam aspect does this include the same amount customization for cars as games like Motorsport 3 had?

As far as tuning goes. It's identical. But the only difference is you can't customise your paint...

So I wont be able to turn around and produce anything like this

And im guessing its Motorsport where you're able to purchase other user's cars off the market?

Alright
You can make paints that go into really good detail and there is also an auction house on Forza Horizon 3 where you can buy other players cars

Well it all depends on personal preference and play style if you want to cruise on clean surface roads and have the power to change your car whenever you want and feel like your playing a story game, I suggest horizon 3

On the other hand I would just wait for Motorsport 7 as I tend to drift and I feel as Motorsport offers a whole lot more variety and customisation for me but it all comes down to what you wanna play

Motorsport = Track Racing
Horizon = Freeroam
