The GTA IV rendition of the Merit is powered by a V6, mated to a 5 speed transmission in a RWD layout. Acceleration is good, but nothing special; in line with the Merit's vanilla, everyday sedan image. Top speed is good, but again, not impressive. Braking is very good, and ABS is standard equipment. The suspension is very firm, keeping the Merit flat through corners; and making it able to corner effectively at speed. Accident deformation is acceptable, as the Merit will survive a few frontal impacts before being rendered unusable. The Merit seems suited towards any situation, it's capable of high speeds and it seems able to survive a serious car chase, making it a perfect addition to any parking space.

* The GTA IV rendition of the car unusually features a metal partition between the front and rear occupant compartments, similar to the Taxi and Police Patrol, despite being a private vehicle and thus having no need for it.
