In its early appearances, the Manana is a small car with little power and poor handling characteristics. In [[Grand Theft Auto III]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]], the vehicle assumes a very boxy design, resembling coupe variants of a [[wp:Dodge Aries|Dodge Aries]] or a [[wp:Plymouth Reliant|Plymouth Reliant K]]. Its appearance remains "boxy" in GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories — reflecting early 1980s automobile design trends. At one point during [[Beta Releases#Grand Theft Auto III|development of GTA III]], the Manana was known on the [[Capital Autos]] website as the "'''Ariant'''", an evident portmanteau of the Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant names.

Additional redesigns for the Manana were made for [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto Advance]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]]. In GTA San Andreas, the Manana assumed a slightly different body design, resembling a [[wp:Dodge Shadow|Dodge Shadow]] or [[wp:Plymouth Sundance|Plymouth Sundance]] (but with front turn signals like earlier renditions). The GTA Advance rendition of the car features an older design than any previous version, harking back to a 1970s model. In GTA Liberty City Stories, a rounder 1990s convertible body design was used, resembling a [[wp:Mazda Miata|Mazda Miata]], with much improved handling.

In GTA San Andreas, the Manana can be seen driven by members of the [[Da Nang Boys]] around [[Easter Basin]] and [[Garver Bridge]], both in [[San Fierro]].
The Manana in GTA San Andreas is a gang car for the [[Da Nang Boys]], and can be seen driven by members around [[Easter Basin]] and [[Garver Bridge]], both in [[San Fierro]].
It is considered one of the worst cars in these games, with a top speed around 120 km/h in GTA San Andreas.
 
The Manana is considered inferior to most vehicles due primarily to its poor engine power. The GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas and GTA Vice City Stories renditions suffer largely from a low top speeds (the GTA San Andreas rendition has a top speed of only 74 mph or 120 km/h) and has a considerably unbalanced body, but otherwise accelerates averagely and is very nimble and easy to control due to its weight and size. The GTA Advance rendition features even similar performance traits, with an identical top speed, but also has to grapple with poor off-road capabilities (being capable of travelling off-road at 25 mph or 40 km/h). The GTA Liberty City Stories has much improved handling.
