    Many Taxis around the world(Tokyo, Hong Kong, Moscow, ) aren't standard vehicles. More often than not they're custom built or custom retrofit vehicles for taxi use only.

      In Turkey most of our cabs aren't Mercedes. And our drivers don't like auto shift cars, generally women use them here. Also we used those police cars in 70s, not any more, even the police amblem were wrong. As much as I like Liam Neeson, I can't help but say that I hate most the fact that almost no women were shown in the film, like our women don't go outside; and about the ones we saw well, very few women wear the black robes of cover nowadays in Turkey. However all of the women we saw in the movie were wearing them. In this age, are you (generally European and American people) still confusing us with the Arabic people? Yes we are Muslim and I even wear a headscarf but not like them. 'Extra info:The imam on the funeral at the beginning wasn't Albanian, he was definetely Turkish. And one more thing; why do these Albanian people speak English among themselves? Also the soccer play on Tv was in Turkish while the people watching it were speaking something I don't understand.

            She wasn't taking driver's ed, pay attention to the movie she was learning from her dad. Are you trying to tell me Cadillac didn't make a manual Escalade?

              "She hit everything she came into contact with"
              Yes, that's generally how it works.

                  She hit about everything, but the car looked about new at all times. They must have used about 15 cars, and/or pairs of side mirrors when playing this part.

                    All we learned is that she failed because she couldn't PARK, not because she couldn't DRIVE. I think it was explicitly stated that is why she failed the test twice.

                      Not being able to parallel park is not the same as not being able to drive

                        She could drive. That wasn't the problem, the problem was she couldn't parallel park which was said - but yes the fact that she couldn't do that but could whip around those tight street corners at high speeds was ridiculous.

                          Or that she could now drive a stick shift manual and drift 180s.

                              she could parallel park perfectly fine, she proved it to her dad in the beginning of the movie. she said the reason she screwed up on her driving test was because "maybe she didn't want a license" .. implying she intentionally did horribly

                                oh right, so she secretly had all the abilities to be a Formula 1 Driver as we discover mid-way throught the film, but didnt want the burden of it all so pretended to not be able to parallel park!!! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

                                  americans mostly drive automatic cars,that merc had a manual gear wich is difficult even for most Europeans since the 1st gear is backwords rather that forward like 99.99% of the cars.And this girl who didn't had a license for an automatic car was running like a rally car driver in Istanbul.Insulting movie!

                                    This movie has a different director. That is why. This director did Transporter 3 and Columbiana.

                                        Remember, Mills is ex-CIA with connections in France from the first movie. So when he has his friend call the Embassy to vouch for him, I'm sure the CIA personnel to the Embassy would be sympathetic to his plight and given him the different gun he had when he went back looking for his wife. I got a feeling with his connections they would have let him go.

                                          Haha, not to mention him having the time to make a phone call to his buddy while a couple of soldiers are just standing at the top of the steps looking on even after that same car just took out the guard's booth of the US Embassy. Oh, and he's out and about looking for his wife half an hour after all that? Something tells me that the Embassy wouldn't be so accommodating.
                                          It wasn't as if the movie was THAT much on track before this, but AFTER this I was literally just shaking my head going: "This makes no sense at all. This movie really sucks."
