The Kuruma is powered by a small, yet gutsy, engine, most likely a four-cylinder, channeled to the front wheels. Whilst the engine is powerful enough to propel the light Kuruma to high straight line speeds, the front wheel drive layout causes understeer. Players may therefore favor using the handbrake to swing round turns at high speed.
The Kuruma is powered by a small, yet gutsy, engine, most likely a four-cylinder, channelled to the front wheels. Whilst the engine is powerful enough to propel the Kuruma to high straight line speeds, the front wheel drive layout causes understeer. Players may therefore favor using the handbrake to swing round turns at high speed. The car has a stiff suspension set-up that compromises stability when going over bumps and rough ends at high speeds. For a mid-size or compact sedan, the Kuruma is relatively heavy for its class, weighing in at 1,500 kilograms<ref>/data/handling.cfg</ref>. This heavy curb weight hampers acceleration and causes the Kuruma to drive sluggishly. Crash deformation and braking are acceptable, but not excellent.


The Kuruma possesses almost identical handling properties to the GTA III rendition of the [[Taxi]].
