With a V6 engine in all its appearances between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, the Sentinel has a good top speed and acceleration. The car handles well, although it suffers from body roll in GTA Liberty City Stories. It comes with good drifting properties, although its rear-drive layout sometimes leads to oversteer and tailspins; these problems are more apparent in the GTA San Andreas rendition, due to its different weight distribution and softer suspension. In GTA San Andreas, the Sentinel's top speed of 163km/h makes it the second fastest four-door car in the game. | With a V6 engine in all its appearances between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories, the Sentinel has a good top speed and acceleration.

The Sentinel in GTA IV is manufactured by [[Übermacht]] and is modeled after a [[wp:BMW 3 Series (E46)|1999–2006 BMW 3 Series]] coupe, most likely the [[wp:BMW M3#E46 M3|2001–2006 M3]], considering the bumper design. The taillights seem to be inspired by the [[wp:BMW 3 Series (E36)|older 3 Series]]. | The Sentinel in GTA IV is manufactured by [[Übermacht]] and is modeled after a [[wp:BMW 3 Series (E46)|1999–2006 BMW 3 Series]] coupe, most likely the [[wp:BMW M3#E46 M3|2001–2006 M3]], considering the bumper design.

Also visible are minuscule STD badges in front of the doors, near the sideskirts and front wheel wells. STD stands for "Sentinel Tuning Division", likely a play on Subaru's STi marque (odd because this vehicle, or the [[#Sentinel "XS"]], does not at all resemble a Subaru) and BMW's in-house tuning division, BMW M, but also a reference to the acronym for "sexually transmitted disease". | Also visible are minuscule STD badges in front of the doors, near the sideskirts and front wheel wells.
