5 best cars in GTA 5 story mode that players can find in free roam

Rockstar Games includes a plethora of cars in GTA 5 Story Mode that you can steal and drive anytime. While Grand Theft Auto Online offers more powerful and better-performing cars, Story Mode has a limited number of cars available. Most players prefer stealing cars from the streets rather than buying them in the campaign mode. However, the game mostly spawns mediocre vehicles.

Nonetheless, the player base has found a few interesting cars in free roam that are far better than the others. However, they have very limited spawn and only appear in certain locations. This article lists five of the best free-roam cars you can acquire for free.
