In [[Grand Theft Auto 1]], there are three versions of the Taxi; the [[Liberty City in GTA 1|Liberty City]] version is based on the [[Portsmouth]], the [[San Andreas in GTA 1|San Andreas]] version is based on the [[Vulture]], and the [[Vice City in GTA 1|Vice City]] version is based on the [[Flamer]].

Early renditions of the Taxi are generally undesirable due to their mediocre performance. While differing between cities and partially based on muscle vehicles, GTA 1's taxis are generally slow, but compensate with good steering. In GTA 2 the opposite is the case, with moderate speed but sluggish controls, inferior to the [[Taxi Xpress]]. Both games' renditions have moderate crash endurance. | Early renditions of the Taxi are generally undesirable due to their mediocre performance.

Each Taxi in GTA 1 has a low base export value of $2,000, while the Taxi in GTA 2 awards the player [[Power-ups in GTA 2|Double Damage]] when [[Crusher|crushed]]. | |||

Although the appearance of the Taxi between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories varies drastically, the Taxi's performance in these games may be described as all-round average. With moderate speed, moderate acceleration, light construction, moderate endurance, capable steering and stable cornering (all traits which are helpful during [[Taxi Driver]] missions), the Taxi is generally an acceptable vehicle to drive. The vehicle is also front wheel drive, reducing the chances of tailspins when cornering and allowing the vehicle to perform 180-degree turns backwards or forward with ease. | Although the appearance of the Taxi between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories varies drastically, the Taxi's performance in these games may be described as all-round average.
