Vehicles: Grand Theft Auto 2

A narrow, fast car is ideal for an escape; a heavier vehicle survives collisions but loses time turning in an alley.

Choosing a vehicle

Speed

Useful for timed telephone jobs and long journeys, but increases the risk of an off-screen collision.

Durability

Important during police chases and gunfights with gangs.

Dimensions

A smaller car passes roadblocks and narrow entrances more easily.

City systems

Garages

Special services can modify the vehicle, remove attention or add equipment.

Car Crusher

Crushing particular vehicles can produce a bonus or reward.

Wanted Level

As the threat rises, the units and roadblocks change; sometimes abandoning the car is the best option.
