=== Performance === | |||
The Cabbie is generally slower and heavier than its more modern [[Taxi|cousin]]. The handling is also inferior and the vehicle is somewhat unstable under heavy cornering. These factors make the Cabbie a poor choice for the taxi sub-mission, where speed is critical. The car's wobbly suspension can also make it prone to rolling over, especially when driving at high speeds. However, some players favor its rear-wheel drive which is more capable of powersliding in corners. | |||
