Acceleration is above average, and its top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph) is staggeringly quick. The chassis is firm and taut, giving the Futo stability at high speeds, and the ability to be thrown around for a bit of flair. Its suspension is firm, keeping the Futo flat in banked corners and stable in the S-curves. Braking is acceptable, and front-wheel lock-up is not a big issue compared to other vehicles; however, ABS is not available. The Futo handles well off-road and can reach about 75% of its top speed on dirt roads and beaches. Crash deformation is also acceptable, though build quality is sub-par, often leaving the Futo disabled after just a few accidents. | ||
All in all the Futo is great fun to drive, and makes an excellent escape or pursuit vehicle in missions. It is also an ideal car to drift since it is a light weight, front engine rear wheel drive car. The only possible disadvantages during a pursuit or escape is that the vehicle is small, lacking the power to move other vehicles, and only has two doors, rather than four. | All in all the Futo is great fun to drive, and makes an excellent escape or pursuit vehicle in missions.

::'''Note:''' There currently appears to be a bug for the PS3 version which makes the Futo far rarer than on the Xbox 360 version. Doing the mission [[Paparazzo - The Sex Tape]] for Beverly may fix this. | |||
