Acceleration could be described as "leisurely" — the Lokus takes upwards of 7.4 seconds to reach 60 mph (97 km/h). Its top speed, 174 mph (280 km/h), is similarly disappointing, as it is the second-slowest four-door sedan in the game (The [[Karin]] [[Dilettante]] being the slowest). Needless to say, it is unfit for racing. Handling is unresponsive and suspension is much too firm, resulting in a surprising amount of understeer. Braking is well below average, although ABS is available. Crash deformation is average to below average, and build quality is quite shoddy; the Lokus cannot sustain much damage before becoming unusable. Overall, the car is fit only for unhurried street driving. | ||

The Lokus is also central to "[[Entourage]]"; in which Niko must escort [[Bobby Jefferson]] to City Hall to make a speech while in a convoy of 3 Lokuses. Mr. Jefferson's personal Lokus is a unique shade of blue/black, unavailable via respraying. | The Lokus is also central to "[[Entourage]]"; in which Niko must escort [[Bobby Jefferson]] to City Hall to make a speech while in a convoy of 3 Lokuses.
