Stanier

"If you took a cab or got arrested in the 1990s, there's a high chance you ended up in the back of a Vapid Stanier. Discontinued following widespread reports of fuel tanks exploding on impact in rear-end collisions. So try to avoid that."

- Southern San Andreas Super Autos description.

The Vapid Stanier is a full-size four-door sedan which appears in Grand Theft Auto IV and makes its named debut in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.

Description
While its name is revealed in Grand Theft Auto V, the Stanier appears across both Grand Theft Auto IV and V in two generations, both featuring multiple service variants. In its unnamed appearance in Grand Theft Auto IV, it provides the basis of the Police Cruiser, Taxi and NOOSE Cruiser. In Grand Theft Auto V, a full-size sedan which closer resembling the second generation Ford Crown Victoria appears as the shared design for the Police Cruiser, Taxi and Unmarked Cruiser. Because of this trait that is shared with the first generation model in Grand Theft Auto IV, as well as other details regarding design, inspiration and purpose, it is inferred that this particular model could be the second generation Stanier.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
The Stanier is based primarily on the 1992-1997, with subtle hints of styling from the 1992-1997 , and the 1998-2011 Ford Crown Victoria in its front clip. The first generation model also takes major bodywork influences from the.

The Stanier shares its stock rim design with the Minivan. In IV, the Vapid-based Taxi and Police Cruiser share a heavy-duty steel rim design, wrapped in high-profile tyres and featuring protruding chrome centrecaps inspired by Ford's Type 146 centrecaps. This rim design is featured on several other vehicles with a similar purpose, such as the Merit-based Taxi, the Buffalo-based police cruiser, and the Police Interceptor.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online
The Stanier shares much of its handling profile with the Police Cruiser variant of the second genration. It has an above average top speed, powered by a modeled twin-cam straight-4 engine. It loses little momentum as it tackles sharp turns at speed, with noticeable body roll. Due to its RWD drivetrain, the car is also able to power-slide into corners readily.

The Stanier's performance in crashes remains stellar - being able to take multiple direct hits to the chassis, drivetrain, and suspension without failure.

Notable Owners

 * Harvey Molina owns a red first generation Stanier, registration 83QSL722, as seen in the mission Cleaning Out the Bureau.

Grand Theft Auto V
Other than as a part of random traffic:
 * Spawns around Strawberry in the morning (between 8 am and 11 am).
 * Sometimes seen around Richman.

 * Spawns commonly in Strawberry and Rockford Hills.
 * Can be bought from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $10,000.

General

 * It is stated in the Southern San Andreas Super Autos description that the Stanier's rear fuel tank exploded when hit. Early models of the second generation Crown Victoria actually had a similar problem, where the fuel tanks were prone to leaking and eventually setting fire, which caused contention in the law enforcement community. The Stanier is based on the first generation Crown Victoria, however.
 * The player does not experience such problems with the Stanier for gameplay reasons.
 * The website's description also references the Crown Victoria's overwhelming success as a fleet sedan, due to its mechanical reliability and body-on-frame construction, from the 1990's into the 2010's.
 * Similar to the Gresley, the Stanier could be named after a famous locomotive engineer, William Stanier, who was best known for his designs for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.

Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online

 * The default radio station for the Stanier is WorldWide FM.
 * Being the civilian variant of a taxi and a police car, the Stanier effectively fills the role previously slotted by the 3D Universe rendition of the Premier, previously seen in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
 * Strangely, a floating computer screen can be seen above the center console in the Stanier, likely an oversight during the conversion from the GTA IV Police Cruiser. This error was fixed in the enhanced version.
 * Blowing up the tires of the Stanier will show invisible rims.
 * In the first trailer, a Stanier with the LSPD livery can be seen pursuing a vehicle. This Stanier also had the same equipment as the version found in GTA IV, which means it was probably just re-skinned. This suggests that the first-generation Stanier cruiser may have been initially intended to appear in GTA V but was replaced later in development by the second generation Police Cruiser.
