The ability to control a vehicle is adversely affected by the type of vehicle the player is in. [[Motorcycles]] in GTA 1, for example, are capable of climbing up staircases when conventional cars can't. On the other end of the spectrum, larger, heavier vehicles, such as buses and trucks, are less maneuverable and often times lack in speed, making them poor candidates for evasion from the police although their durability and weight can also be taken into consideration. Heavy vehicles can also be used for fun as a battering ram against other smaller vehicles. | The ability to control a vehicle is adversely affected by the type of vehicle the player is in.

[[Vehicle Damage|Damage]] resistance should also be considered. The high performance of certain vehicles may be offset by a weaker body, while a slow, heavy vehicle may be far more resilient to damage. If a player is not proficient in their driving or has not properly planned their path to their destination, the choice of vehicle may become a hindrance if the player is urgently completing a mission or escaping from pursuers. | [[Vehicle Damage|Damage]] resistance should also be considered.
