Despite being a limousine, it is a 4-door vehicle, meaning it is only capable of carrying 4 passengers. Trunk-mounted "boomerang" TV antennae are depicted in the GTA Vice City, GTA Advance, GTA Vice City Stories and GTA IV renditions of the Stretch, with the GTA IV rendition featuring two additional antennas. Detailing within the passenger compartment of the limousines vary between games but remained largely unremarkable until GTA IV, wherein the passenger compartment features LED lighting in the floor and ceiling, a mini-bar and two television screens. GTA IV's Stretch also features more durable windows (particularly side windows) than other cars in the game - they can withstand a significant amount of gunfire before shattering. | Despite being a limousine, it is a 4-door vehicle, meaning it is only capable of carrying 4 passengers.

The Stretch comes in somewhat limited color variations: in GTA III, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, it is available in only dark grey, light grey and white, with a black variant available in two GTA III missions; in GTA Vice City, it is only available in white, with the exception of a gold variant used by [[Candy Suxxx]] during "[[Martha's Mug Shot]]", and a black variant used by [[Avery Carrington]] during cutscenes for his missions (unobtainable to the player); in GTA San Andreas, it is available only in white, but can be modified and painted any color in a [[Transfender]] workshop; note, however, that only the upper portion of the Stretch can be given a custom color (one Stretch can be found during the mission "[[Jizzy (mission)|Jizzy]]" that is black on the lower portion, although obtaining this Stretch is extremely difficult). | The Stretch comes in somewhat limited color variations: in GTA III, GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, it is available in only dark grey, light grey and white, with a black variant available in two GTA III missions; in GTA Vice City, it is only available in white, with the exception of a gold variant used by [[Candy Suxxx]] during "[[Martha's Mug Shot]]", and a black variant used by [[Avery Carrington]] during cutscenes for his missions (unobtainable to the player); in GTA San Andreas, it is available only in white, but can be modified and painted any color in a [[Transfender]] workshop; note, however, that only the upper portion of the Stretch can be given a custom color (one Stretch can be found during the mission "[[Jizzy (mission)|Jizzy]]" that is black on the lower portion, although obtaining this Stretch is extremely difficult). | ||

Being a large, multi-passenger vehicle with an extended drive axle due to its length, this vehicle is slow and lumbering despite its powerful V8 and rear-wheel drivetrain. Its length makes it difficult to maneuver through tight spaces and around corners at high speed, and its suspension is too soft, contributing to body roll. Its ability to absorb damage is not particularly impressive either, making the Stretch more of a specific-use vehicle, or a status-grabber, and a generally poor choice for primary transportation, or for evading cops. Unfortunately, it can only fit three passengers, and thus cannot be used to transport extra gang members in GTA San Andreas, like the [[Coach]] or [[Bus]] can. Its top speed in GTA IV is 150 km/h (93 mph). | Being a large, multi-passenger vehicle with an extended drive axle due to its length, this vehicle is slow and lumbering despite its powerful V8 and rear-wheel drivetrain (the GTA III rendition of the Stretch oddly has front-wheel drive).
