The '''Blista Compact''' is a 2 door hatchback available in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. It is easy to find almost anywhere in [[Vice City]] or [[San Andreas]], and is generally considered to be a satisfactory car. It is highly useful for quick getaways and general evasive purposes. An [[Blista|MPV]] is made by the same company, but is only found in [[Grand Theft Auto III]]; strangely there are no Blista Compacts there, so you never see the two vehicles at the same time. Blista Compacts are front wheel drive. The GTA IV Blista Compact is manufactured by [[Dinka]].

There is also several burnt out wreck versions of the Blista Compact in GTA IV.

In GTA IV, the Blista Compact is powered by a high revving, twin cam 1.4L four-cylinder engine. Although lacking in size, it propels the lightweight car to very high speeds.
