The Blista is a modern minivan in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. In Grand Theft Auto V, the Blista appears as a two-door compact car and is made by Dinka.
Description
Design
The Blista resembles a third generation Dodge Caravan in appearance, depicted as a modern minivan in contrast to the older Moonbeam. Despite the Blista's minivan design, it can only accommodate three passengers and one driver, the same as any four-door vehicle. Its name, rather unpleasantly, sounds like a portmanteau of the words "blister" and possibly "Honda" (probably referring to the Honda Odyssey, even though it has a closer resemblance to the Dodge Caravan).
During development of GTA III, the Blista was originally known as the "Space".
-

-
A Blista in GTA Liberty City Stories (Rear quarter view).
-
A Blista in GTA V (Rear quarter view).
Performance
The Blista is considerably faster and more agile than its size and appearance would suggest. It is driven by a powerful engine, possibly a six-cylinder, channeled to the front wheels. This leads to a degree of understeer at higher speeds, but less than one would expect for a vehicle of its size. Remarkably, its handling statistics are very similar to the Kuruma and Taxi, two small, agile compact sedans.
Locations
- GTA III
- Often found around Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale.
- Liberty City Memorial Stadium parking area in Belleville Park, Staunton Island.
- Asuka Kasen's Condo in Newport, Staunton Island.
- Garage behind a high rise apartment in Newport, Staunton Island. Where you did the mission Silence The Sneak
- Commonly spawn at the Newport parking garage.
- AmCo headquarters in Torrington, Staunton Island.
- Francis International Airport parking area in Shoreside Vale.
- Apartment parking area in Wichita Gardens, Shoreside Vale.
- GTA Liberty City Stories
- Often found around Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale.
- Liberty City Memorial Stadium Parking Area in Aspatria, Staunton Island, Liberty City
- Apartment parking area in Wichita Gardens, Shoreside Vale, Liberty City
- Spawns frequently in Newport, Rockford, Fort Staunton and Cedar Grove
Trivia
- In GTA III, the Blista does not spawn on Portland, except through Firefighter or Vigilante missions.
- Due to what may be a coding error, the Blista cannot be picked up by the crusher in GTA III; the game responds with “Crane cannot lift this vehicle.”, despite the crane having no trouble lifting a Coach into the crusher. In GTA Liberty City Stories, the Blista is able to be crushed, although the crane cannot pick up larger vehicles.
- A vehicle resembling the Blista can be found in Rockstar North's Manhunt 2.
- In Croatian, "Blista" is translated as "It's shining".
See also
- Blista Compact, a hatchback featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories and Grand Theft Auto IV (where it is manufactured by Dinka). This vehicle is similar (and superior) to the Blista in its handling capabilities.
- The Vapid Minivan, a car that resembles the Dodge Caravan in Grand Theft Auto IV and fills in for the absence of the Blista van.
