The design of the fleet sedans is reflective of the eras in which they exist in. In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the sedan is seemingly based on a first generation [[wp:Ford Crown Victoria#First generation (1992–1997)|Ford Crown Victoria]] in the front and a [[wp:Chevrolet Caprice#Fourth generation (1991–1996)|1991–1996 Chevrolet Caprice | The design of the fleet sedans is reflective of the eras in which they exist in.

The GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories rendition also sports bumpers with changeable colors most noticeable on taxis in GTA Liberty City Stories. | ||
The car is comparable to the [[Premier|GTA San Andreas Premier]] or [[Merit#GTA IV|GTA IV Merit]], but has no version for private consumers, classifying it as being more similar to the [[Vapid]] [[Vapid Fleet Sedan|fleet sedan]] in GTA IV. The FBI variant in GTA Liberty City Stories and the police variant in GTA Vice City Stories however do refer to the sedan as a "'''Cruiser'''", implying it is the name of the bare model. | The car is comparable to the [[Premier|GTA San Andreas Premier]] or [[Merit#GTA IV|GTA IV Merit]], but has no version for private consumers, classifying it as being more similar to the [[Vapid]] [[Vapid Fleet Sedan|fleet sedan]] in GTA IV.

Sedans adapted as taxis offer a balance of good acceleration, average top speed and very nimble steering. In addition, they appear to house V6's rather than V8's, based on the sound they emit during acceleration. Law enforcement vehicles are far speedier with improved acceleration and top speed, but are less stable in GTA III and GTA Vice City due to heighten suspensions (a problem that was rectified in subsequent iterations). Law enforcement vehicles also produce a throatier engine sound in comparison to their taxi counterparts, hinting that they may be powered by a V8 engine. | ||
The fleet sedans, as are most sedans, can soak up an average amount of crash damage before exploding. | The fleet sedans, as are most sedans, can soak up an average amount of crash damage before exploding. | ||
