 * In GTA Vice City, Taxis have white spots on the windshield due to an error in applying the vehicle's reflection map.
 * In GTA III and GTA Vice City, Taxis may spawn without their lights on top. In GTA IV, the taxi light can be broken off by impacts.
+* In GTA III, the sign on some Taxis appears to be misspelled as "taki". This could be a reference to the English word "tacky", the Hawaiian word "taki" (meaning useless), or the racial slur "paki" (as all taxi drivers in the game are Asian).
 * 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.
 * The GTA IV Taxi originally had a black variant, as seen in the [[Vladimir Glebov]] trailer.
-* In GTA Vice City, a beta texture from taxi can be seen from afar.
+* In GTA Vice City, the beta texture of the taxi appears when it is seen from afar.
 * In GTA IV, most taxi drivers are men, however, you can usually find a woman taxi driver in [[Hove Beach]], [[Broker]].
-* In Grand Theft Auto IV, the [[Vapid]] and [[Declasse]] 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).

-* In Grand Theft Auto IV, the lighted advertisment/"TAXI" signs on the roof of the taxis are very fragile as a minor collision is most cases is all it takes to dislodge the sign and have it break off the vehicle's roof.
+*In GTA IV, if a Taxi is ramed at a high enough speed, the taxi driver will die more easily than if any other car is ramed.

+*Most of the taxi drivers in GTA IV speak in greek, as well as most of them, if held a gun to them say "I'm Greek, you know." and usually cuss out traffic in front of them in Greek as well.
