* There is a glitch that only happens for the Banshees with the hardtops. When Niko walks over to steal one either he gets in the stance to jump in the car (Just as he does with the convertible variant) but then cancels the stance and opens up the door and gets in or the other way[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrtSZTx2SFo]. The glitch can be clearly seen when stealing a hardtop Banshee with the close camera option.
