  1. 1. Which one would you pick? If you have no idea, here's a quick summary of both vehicles:

CABBIE:

Pros;

Big, loud V8 engine

Heavy construction makes it a great battering ram

Sturdy body

Soft suspension smoothes out the bumpy road

Cons:

Poor turning

Soft suspension causes A LOT of body roll

Prone to rollovers

High center of gravity

Poor traction

Heavy body is very hard work for its engine.

Random stuff:

Front engine, rear wheel drive, and front wheel steering.

Can reach insane speeds with Nitro boosts and/or driving downhill.

Based on a 1969 Checker Taxi

Has room for 4 occupants - three passengers and a driver

 

TAXI:

Pros:

Higher top speed

Lighter body, very fast in some games

Low, stiff, suspension improves turning

Very little body roll

Sensitive turning

FF layout gives great traction on rain, dirt, mud, and sand

Cons;

Doesn't stand up to too many hits

Expect a bumpy ride - the suspension is stiff

Turning is very sensitive, but, it can't turn as well as the Cabbie

FWD means you can't drift

Random Stuff:

Front engine, front wheel drive, front wheel steering.

Room for 4 occupants; a driver, and three friends.

Most versions are based on a cross between a Ford Crown Victoria, and a Chevrolet Caprice.

The GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories variant is a heavily modified Buick Regal, I guess.

 

CABBY;

Pros; to be added

Cons; to be added

Random stuff;

Front engine, rear wheel drive, and front wheel steering

Based on a Ford (i think) Caravan

It would be impossible to build a Cabby in real life; It is in an FR layout, but, it has no central drive shaft.

 

 

So, what do you think is the best?

Cabbie, but only the 3D Universe one.

 

The worst thing GTA IV did was f*ck up the cabbie so bad I don't wanna look at it.

Taxi. I never was a huge fan of the Cabbie. Borgnine and Zebra Cab are awesome, but I prefer the modern taxis - especially in VC and VCS.

I like both Vice City's Taxi and Cabbie. Though the Cabbie wins for me purely for the reason that it reminds me of Travis Bickle's Cab.
So, I've cast my vote and drawn the poll to an even vote!

Well, GTA IV is pretty realistic - and Checker Marathons haven't been used for a while. CW did have it, but that's a more cartoony game.

I hope we see another period game just so we can have the old Cabbie.

What's wrong with GTA IV's Cabby? If GTA IV was a period piece GTA I could understand the old Cabbie fitting in, but it's portraying modern NYC.

I liked the Cabby, especially for its mish-mash of Schyster and Vapid badges.
