The Wayfarer is a 4-door taxi in Driver Parallel Lines and Driver 76.
Design[]
It bares the traditional New York Taxi livery, and is heavily based on the Checker Marathon, although the grill of the car is split into two, instead of being singular.
Performance[]
Similar in performance to the Chauffeur, the Wayfarer feels light weight compared to other sedans, despite its size and shape. This gives the car agile handling and great suspension, however its low performance engine seems to reduce the car's potential by a lack of power being traversed to the rear axle. Its top speed is still relatively high, with an acceptable acceleration rate too.
Mission Appearances[]
- Nickel and Dime - The Zartex that chases TK's Cerrano during the beginning of the mission crashes into a Wayfarer, causing both cars to set on fire.

Trivia[]
- In real life, Checker Marathon taxis were pulled off the streets of New York City after 1999 after a law establishment was made stating that taxi models couldn't be older than five years. Strangely, however, the Wayfarer still spawns commonly during the 2006 Era.
- This vehicle shares its rim design with the Zartex and Wayfarer Turbo.
- When the "spraycan" bodywork is applied the taxi sign on top will also read "spraycan", but at night when it's lit up it'll read "air taxi", even though that's from a different bodywork.
