There is an immense amount of drivable or even flyable vehicles scattered around the map. Npcs frequently travel in cars and cars often park on the side of the road. Stealing any vehicle, killing the driver or destroying the drivable will result in a wanted level.
Vehicles will see a massive rework with the upcoming Update. Be aware that this page is likely to be outdated soon.
Cars are the primary way of moving around in CTA. You can find a variety of them with varying stats and abilites. All cars are steered using WASD and mouse movement, spacebar is used for additonal actions like honking or even using miniguns!
Take a look at the various vehicles:
Helicopters can be found at airport, on rooftops or the military base. Big giveaways are the landing pads you might see.
Different to cars, helicopters can not steer left or right with keys, A and D are used to ascend and descend here, instead use mouse movement to steer.
Planes can be found around the airport or military base. They are driven on the road until you press A to ascend, D is used to descent again. Be careful: they might require some time to get up to flying speed, so you might crash!
No npc wants their sports car stolen! If you do happen to do so, count on 3 Wanted Stars to appear.
