How to steal cars in Cyberpunk 2077
Cars you steal in Cyberpunk 2077 can be driven around, but you can't keep them forever
To steal cars in Cyberpunk 2077 is as simply as getting in the seat, with no minigames or special steps beyond the occasional requirement of technical skill, depending on the car you're stealing. Problem is, you don't own these vehicles from that point on, they're just yours to control until you get out of them, with no way to keep them in a garage or anything like when you buy a car. If you steal a car and then travel across Cyberpunk 2077 too far away from it, then the car is gone for good and you'll need to get a new one from somewhere, sad to say.
The main way to get new cars and bikes to add to your garage is to buy them when someone contacts you with news of a new vehicle up for sale. Find them on the map and pay them a visit, fork over the eddies and you'll have yourself a new ride.
There are also some vehicles you can get by completing missions, so if you don't want to spend your hard-earned cash on a car, complete some more side missions. Some of the cars you can earn are great, too, so just play the game for of the best options. Cars in Cyberpunk 2077 don't have massively different stats though, so most vehicles will basically do the job you need them for - all you're really changing are the looks.

Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
