Vehicles

Vehicle	Picture
Admiral It doesn't have a ton of speed, but makes up for that with good handling. A fairly good car for any job.
Alpha A 2-door car that is a cross between a street racer and a luxury vehicle. It boosts Sex Appeal out the buttocks, so get prepared for some sweet lovin' when you take your date back to her place. It also handles like a dream, to boot.
Ambulance Found at any hospital, or roaming wild on the street, the Ambulance is a vehicle with its own set of missions. Know what that means? That's right. Visit the Vehicle Missions section of this guide for more info.
Baggage A baggage cart from the airport! Oh joy! This thing controls very silly-like and is fairly useless, but man, who doesn't want to drive around Downtown in one of these babies?
Bandito Words cannot describe how cool the Bandito is. Like a water skipper skates across H2O, the Bandito will skate across the rockiest of terrain.
Banshee A super fast, super sporty vehicle that has a stripe down the center. You can even change the color of the stripe at a Pay 'N Spray!
Barracks You can find the Barracks inside of the Naval Base in San Fierro. It's also wise to use this to pull off those nasty vigilante missions, as you can ram the hell out of your enemies using this one.
BF Injection This little dune buggy has great suspension, great handling and is tons of fun to drive, on-road or off.
Bike A standard bike, nothing too exciting…except perhaps the banana seat. Fancy!
Blade This lowrider is a great car. It's got a lot of balls, and avoids fishtailing pretty well for such a big car. A good choice for any lowrider street race you might partake in.
Blista Compact The affordable "soccer mom" street racer is loose in control, making those sliding turns oh-so easier. Just don't hit that handbrake at top speeds!
BMX San Andreas marks the first time in the GTA series that characters are allowed to get on bikes, and this is the first kind you ride. Not much in the speed department, but it is maneuverable and can go places cars can't.
Bobcat This pickup is just what you'd expect with a name like Bobcat--feisty, rather quick and not all that heavy for a truck.
Boxville The perfectly boxed cargo truck! Get in a black one of these at night to perform Burglar missions.
Broadway One could say that this is the pimpinest ride in the game. Press R3 in this car to do the pimp missions!
Bravura A sporty sedan, the Bravura has good handling and cornering ability. Acceleration is fairly average, but gets the job done.
Buccaneer A very stylish lowrider with an attitude. The sleek rear to the car caps off the pimp look with ease. The baby handles very well, to boot, with tight grip and flexy speed.
Buffalo A sweet-driving muscle car and Catalina's ride of choice, get your hands on one of these whenever possible.
Bullet Often confused with the Banshee due to the trademark stripe down the center of the vehicles, they both control very similar. The only way to tell them apart is the slight difference of the body build.
Cabbie A form of taxi, this one is rather larger and ungainly but still capable of Vehicle Missions. Visit that section of the guide for more info.
Cadrona The Cadrona is another pretty reliable vehicle. It's not going to turn any heads, but its speed is decent, and handling is better than average.
Camper A retro hippie experience, maaan. Mixing the 60s with the 90s to create a complete camper for those uphill, soul soothing karma cleansing vacations. Looking for one to export? Look atop of Mt. Chiliad!
Cement Truck Need to run over a bunch of people, then bury them in solid concrete? Here's the ride for you. The Cement Truck is an absolute monster of a truck. It takes awhile to get it going, but when it is, it's nearly unstoppable. Maximum carnage!
Cheetah The Cheetah is the ultimate street racer, packing a punch with the sleek look and design that is recognizable.
Clover More often than not, you'll find this beater covered in primer and driven by a resident of one of the "outlying" towns. It has loosey-goosey handling, but decent acceleration. Still, it's far from an ideal ride.
Club This boxy little number has a super-revving engine but not much pop. Don't look to this car to do anything fancy.
Combine Harvester When you need to turn bodies into body parts... reach for the Combine.
Comet Quite a sweet little ride, the Comet has plenty of get up and go, and is one of the most stylish vehicles in the game.
Dodo The Dodo is the classic plane from the Grand Theft Auto series that used to be known as a "piece of crap." Now, it's a decent small plane, if you can't find anything else. Watch out! Her tilt is heavy.
Dozer Another great vehicle made by Dude, the Dozer is a compact ride with pretty decent handling. Whip some donuts with it and see what we mean!
Dumper You've got a nice Dumper! This truck is tough and big. Pick one up and go on a car-crunching rampage.
Dune A big dump-like truck that controls like a super speed racer. Very tight control and even tighter looks.
Elegant San Andreas' take on a Beamer, the Elegant has nice pop and great handling.
Elegy Tight handling and excellent speed combine in the Elegy to make it one of the nicer driving cars in the game. Whether you're racing in the Badlands to cruising on the San Fierro coastline, the Elegy is the perfect fit.
Emperor It takes a while for the Emperor to get rolling, but once it does, it can be an unstoppable force. As the name suggests, this one is in charge once it gets a head of steam.
FCR-900 The perfect city living motorcycle. Completely rare and completely slick, the FRC-900 is like a pimped out PCJ600. Just watch out for traffic on the freeway!
Feltzer The Feltzer is incredibly slick, and hard to miss on the road. This puppy is the boxy convertible, and you can tell the difference between it and a Blade from a mile away.
Firetruck If you create a fire, this puppy will screech on to the scene to put it out... then you can climb inside and start the Vehicle Mission of putting out fires around town.
Flash This little firecracker has everything you want from a compact--serious speed, manueverability and style. Well, maybe not style.
Forklift If you need boxes moved around, reach for the Forklift. If you need to outrun a rival gang, don't.
Fortune It looks like a sports car, but it's a little slower on the acceleration than one might expect. Still, once it gets cooking, it's got a nice top speed.
Freeway The ultimate biker's bike, this one has tons of power... and ape-hangers to boot. Crank up K-DST and get rolling!
Glendale The Glendale has very nice control, and a nice look, although the vehicle itself is fairly average. It's still a nice town car.
Hermes This old-timey ride has good horsepower and drives pretty well. What's more, it's one of the sturdier cars you'll find in the city.
Hot Dog Who doesn't want to drive the Weinermobile around? If you say you don't, we're pretty sure you're lying. This vehicle has the added benefit of containing its own dedicated employee.
HPV1000 A police motorcycle, this one is functional and fast, and one of the sturdier bikes around. Know that if you jack it, though, your wanted rating will go up by one.
Hustler Classic deuce coupe style, half the calories.
Hydra You will acquire this during a mission further in the game. As you can imagine, this thing is heavy machinery, packed with a homing missile launcher and nitro boosters in the back. Talk about packing heat.
Infernus This bad baby is one helluva street racer, and is one of the original "street expert" vehicles in the series. Just look at those cat-like headlights!
Intruder This boxy sedan is fairly unremarkable. It's good, but not great... but will do the trick for simple jobs.
Jester Sleek and elegant, the Jester is a speedy addition to the casuals library. It's not as fast as an Infernus, or as rare as a Cheetah, but it gets the job done. Plus, look how pretty that coat is!
Jetpack Complete the "Green Goo" mission to acquire this at your Airport safe house in the Desert. This bad baby is one of the best traveling devices in the game, as you can reach items like Horseshoes a lot faster and easier--in fact, it's a requirement for some of them.
Journey No only is it named after the coolest rock band ever, this RV is quite stylish. It has absolutely no acceleration, and it quite top-heavy (don't corner hard, or you will tip), so it isn't the ideal ride for most situations.
Kart It's a go-cart. It drives like a go-cart.
Landstalker This SUV is, as you'd expect, pretty burly. It looks and handles like a Jeep, and is pretty rugged. Not the fastest vehicle in the game, but it can take a serious licking.
Leviathan The most common amongst helicopters, you can find the Leviathan at practically every airport. Everything about it is completely average.
Linerunner This is basically the cab portion of a semi, and as you'd expect it's tough as hell. Go into town with this puppy, and it'll feel like Maximum Overdrive in no time.
Majestic And truly majestic it looks. For a beater, this one ain't bad. Good acceleration, good cornering.
Merit Remember when everyone was going off about cab-forward design? Voila... here you have the Merit. Named like the brand of cigarettes, this one is ugly, but can be smokin' on the straightaway. For a sedan, it ain't bad.
Mesa Looks like a Jeep, drives like a Jeep... must be a Mesa! This is a good ride, whether in the city or offroading.
Monster Want to know what the coolest vehicle ever is? Look to your right. The Monster is a gigantic monster truck that crushes the competition--literally. You can grab this by beating the first arena mission, or by dropping off the first five vehicles in the Export business. Crank your Metallica records and roll over some hillbilly on a Tractor!
Moonbeam A cute family van, the Moonbeam has terrible acceleration and a propensity to tip over when cornering... but it seats four and has cupholders.
Mountain Bike Looking for the ultimate in off-road cycling? Then look no further than the Mountain Bike! Excellent grip and control will allow you to do as you please down Mt. Chiliad!
Mower You can't do much with this except mow. That, or re-enact The Straight Story.
Mr. Whoopee Do yourself a favor and look at the top of this ice cream van.
Mule A big, clunky hauling truck. Awkward to steer, awkward to control, but a sex machine if we ever saw one.
Nebula There seem to be an endless supply of this type of middling sedan in the game. This one, at least, has a snappy name.
Newsvan The newsvan is really like any other van--topheavy but decent--except that it has a radar dish on the roof.
NRG-500 Found at the Docks, near the Import/Export, and used for the NRG-500 Challenge. If you want to talk about fast, look no further.
Oceanic A traditional surf car, this one can be found near beaches. It drives a lot like the Hermes.
Packer The name of this one comes from the fact that it can pack in a ton of cars on its back. The Packer is slow and hard to steer on busy streets, but man, is it fun to drive up and jump off of using a motorcycle!
Patriot Found only in military bases, such as Area 69 and the Naval Base in San Fierro. You'll have to take a risk in nabbing one of these babies.
PCJ600 This little crotch rocket is a burner. Open it up on the straightaways and see what it can do. Don't corner too hard when going too fast, though, or you'll bite it.
Perennial One of the worst cars in the game, this beater is rather slow, has no pick-up and is devoid of handling. Only use it if your other option is hoofing it.
Picador Essentially an El Camino, the Picador has decent muscle and pretty good control. Throw a rug in the back and take your special lady up to the point, and you've got a recipe for love.
Premier The Premier has a grill that isn't as bold as the Elegant, but you'll spot it, nonetheless. The steering is very nice with decent, tight turns that can be glided into, but don't expect a speed demon out of it. Regardless, this thing is perfect for drive-bys.
Quad Riding the Quad is a nifty experience. It is the ultimate offroad vehicle... fast, maneuverable, and all-terrain.
Rancher Much like a Jeep Cherokee, this truck is very durable and has decent speed. Love the two-tone.
Ranger In terms of SUVs to steal, there are easier ones to go after... But none look quite this cool. This cop truck is, as you'd expect, quite rugged. It's able to go offroad easily and even boasts Vigilante missions.
Regina The Regina is a higher profile and more suitable station wagon. While not really luxury, it sets off a nice tone compared to some of the crap out there, but it still handles like a station wagon. Bummer.
Remington The Remington is flat-out awesome. Like a steel-plated couch on wheels, it has unexpected power and speed, rides low to the ground and can take a beating. It's only knock is that it tends to slide and spin out at top speeds.
Roadtrain This bad-ass semi cab is about the wickedest truck ever. Check out that front grill! If you absolutely, positively need to plow through a bunch of raw metal, this is the vehicle for the job.
Romero It's a hearse, so that's cool right there. It's also named after one of horror's best directors, so that's even cooler. The car itself is sturdy and handles well, but it's not going to outrun anyone.
Rumpo This is a pretty low-end van. It'll take more of a beating than a standard car, but it ain't gonna impress the ladies.
Rustler You can find the Rustler at your Airport in the desert. The Rustler is the perfect "learning to fly" plane, which is why it's used in Flight School. The tilt is a bit excessive, but hey, this is one fun ride, so we won't complain.
Sabre The Sabre is a steady vehicle that is about as common as the Stallion, if you're in the right neighborhood. The Sabre is a longwise vehicle, so naturally is controls very smooth and the handling is air tight.
Sadler Since it's a pickup, it's quite sturdy, but it's a little slower and less powerful than you might expect.
Sanchez The ultimate off-road accessory, the Sanchez is the perfect bike for the rough-and-tumble backcountry of San Andreas. In addition to its signature engine noise, it's got good pick-up, great shocks, and the ability to pull off some of the coolest jumps in the game.
Savanna Obtained in the vehicle theft missions, this is the ultimate convertible street racer. The control is very loose, so watch out on the tight turns.
Securicar The ultimate is handling money! Money for nothing and checks for free! The thing takes a beating, but it's still not bulletproof. It's not so secure after all, is it?
Sentinel Decent speed and great handling make this a good city car.
Shamal The perfectly average plane. Tilts at a moderate pace--nothing too strict, but nothing too loose.
Slamvan This is one sweet Lowrider. You'll find it hanging around the Strip in Las Venturas, so make sure to secure one.
Solair Another station wagon, the Solair has decent handling, but lacks pickup. Not a bad ride, but not a stellar one, either.
Squalo This little diddy is what defines a racing boat. It can travel at high speeds, although the ripples throughout the water will hamper the tight controls and overall performance. But hey, the Squalo isn't to blame for that.
Stafford The Stafford is one nice vehicle. There's no other way to put it--it's a timeless classic town car that looks so gangsta that it could be a mob car. The grill sticks out as if to say "Fuggitabowdit" a trillion times over.
Stallion Basically a Mustang rip-off, the Stallion performs very well. It's got a kick-ass engine and can reach some horrifying speeds, and it handles well, too. Also comes in a convertible.
Stratum For a station wagon, this car is pretty bad-ass. It's got decent handling and speed, although acceleration is not all that impressive. Not the best car for the criminal life, but not the worst.
Stretch Linos are not the most practical rides available in San Andreas, but they certainly are stylish. Still, cornering can be a problem, and so can maneuevering down some of the narrow alleys and such.
Sultan Ever wanted a luxury 4-door town car that is mixed with a street racing lady killer? Look no further than the Sultan.
Sunrise Yet another decent sedan-style car, the Sunrise is nice on the straightaway, and has good maneuverability around turns.
Super GT This high-octane sports car tears up the highways and byways. Just make sure you don't get any tar stuck to your tires.
Sweeper It's not going to wow the ladies, or impress your homies. But it can clean a curb with the best of 'em.
Tahoma Pretty sturdy with decent power, the Tahoma is a car that can take a pretty good knocking around before it's out of commission.
Tampa If it looks like a junky, compact Blade, it's likely a Tampa. With a roof. This thing has decent control, but it's best to pick up something else.
Tanker Another semi cab, this one hauls explosive materials. Like all semis, it's tough and big and ready to dish out some punishment.
Taxi The Taxi is the standard cab in the game. Basically a yellow sedan, it has decent acceleration and durability, plus you have the option of taking part in specific missions when driving it. Visit the Vehicle Missions section of this guide for more info.
Towtruck A decent truck in its own right, the tow truck is sturdy and has pretty good speed for this type of vehicle. What's more, it lets you fulfill some of your sandbox fantasies from childhood.
Tractor This isn't gonna get you anywhere fast, and you won't look cool riding around on it. Still, how cool is it that it's in the game?
Tug The Tug is a small vehicle that controls like a mixture of a Baggage and a Forklift. One thing you shouldn't expect to do in this bad boy is go very fast.
Turismo What can we say? The Turismo is the ideal street racer. It even has the engine in the back! Talk about retro Hot Wheels action! Super speed, super grip, super duper. Or uber duber, take your pick.
Uranus The Uranus is a fast, lethal vehicle that can be obtained during the vehicle theft missions. Excellent control on this one.
Utility Van Your typical work truck with ladder equipped and all!
Vincent A great four-door, this car is perfect for speeding into and out of drive-by situations.
Vortex How sweet is it that there is a hovercraft in the game? This can go on land and off, making it the raddest ride in the game.
Yosemite The Yosemite is a larger truck-type vehicle, able to take (and dish out) some serious punishment. This is a good, beefy truck to take into any hairy situation, provided you don't need max speed.
Wayfarer The perfect highway bike, the Wayfarer comes eqipped with saddlebags and denim shirt/beer belly attitude. Like all bikes, it handles well, although it's not the fastest cycle on the road.
Walton This utlity truck isn't all that useful. It's slow and handles sluggishly. The propane tanks in bank are pretty stylish, though.
Washington A decent luxury-style automobile, the Washington looks like a secret service agent's car... so you have that going for you.
Willard No, it's not named after that rat movie, or the meterologist. It is, however, a fairly average car.
Windsor A slick ride that's sure to get you noticed, the Windsor is a lady magnet. Pick one up today!
ZR-350 Another sure panty-dropper, this is a fast and exciting sports car that should accompany you on all of your dates.
