Acceleration, predictably, is well below average; taking the Dilettante upwards of 10 seconds to reach its top speed of 270 km/h (168 mph), which for an electric/gas hybrid is rather brisk. | ||
Handling can be described as fair, though understeer is very noticeable. The suspension is firm enough to cope with high speed cornering, while soft enough to tackle Liberty City's rough streets. Braking is very good, and ABS is standard across the line. | |||
Crash deformation is acceptable, though engine build quality is below average. In all, the Dilettante is an underwhelming vehicle, unsuited to high-performance applications such as high-speed chases or escapes, or ramming other vehicles. | |||

* The word ''dilettante'' means a dabbler in fine arts, or a connoisseur. It can also mean amateurish or superficial, the latter meaning playing into the stereotype of hybrid owners as caring more about being perceived as eco-friendly than actually trying to help the environment (as is suggested in the advertisement for the car). | * The word ''dilettante'' means a dabbler in fine arts, or a connoisseur.
