* In GTA III and GTA Vice City, Taxis may very rarely spawn without their lights on top. In these cases, saving the car in a garage will not fix it. In GTA IV, the taxi light can be broken off by impacts. | * In [[GTA III]] and GTA Vice City, Taxis may very rarely spawn without their lights on top.

* Taxi drivers tend to be vengeful, exiting their vehicle and assaulting the player if he or she damages their vehicle; they may pull the player out of their own vehicles, or throw punches if they meet the player on foot. In GTA IV, they hold onto the player's car door while he or she attempts to escape, until the gaining speed forces them to let go. Oddly, sometimes they will pull the player out of their car, and then utter something before running back to their taxi and drive off. | * Taxi drivers tend to be vengeful, exiting their vehicle and assaulting the player if he or she damages their vehicle; they may pull the player out of their own vehicles, or throw punches if they meet the player on foot.

* In GTA IV, the [[Vapid]],[[Declasse]] and [[Schyster]] Taxis have three different horns, differing in pitch with some with a high pitched, medium pitched, and lower pitched horns. The pitch determines how well and strong the horn sounds. The higher ranges usually are weak, mid-ranges usually have a somewhat over-blown or out of tune horn, while the lower pitches have healthy and loud horns. Most of the horns used can be traced back to civilian vehicles of different brands (such as [[Intruder]], [[Pinnacle]], [[DF8-90]], [[Patriot]], etc). A glitch sometimes happens when either taxi is stored in a parking spot and after a period of time, the horns will change no matter if it has been used or not, such as loud and healthy horns will change to the high pitched weak horns for no apparent reason. Loading any game saves changes them as well. | * In GTA IV, the [[Vapid]], [[Declasse]] and [[Schyster]] Taxis have three different horns, differing in pitch with some with a high pitched, medium pitched, and lower pitched horns.
