The Blista resembles a [[wp:Dodge Caravan#Generation III (1996–2000)|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 [[wp:Honda Odyssey (North America)|Honda Odyssey]], even though it has a closer resemblance to the Dodge Caravan). | The Blista resembles a [[wp:Dodge Caravan#Generation III (1996–2000)|third generation Dodge Caravan]] in appearance, depicted as a modern minivan in contrast to the older [[Moonbeam]].

The Space's design, as seen on the Capital Autos page, was markedly more based on the Odyssey - the name is also an allusion to it, and the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. | ||

The Blista returns in GTA V as a sports compact. It is based on a combination of the[[wp:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Civic_(eighth_generation)|eight generation Honda Civic]], Volkswagen Scirocco, and the Renault Clio, p | |||

The Blista is | === GTA III === | ||
The Blista is unrealistically and markedly more agile than its size and appearance would suggest. It is driven by a powerful engine, possibly a six-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. 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 is very similar to the [[Taxi]], a compact and agile saloon. | |||
=== GTA V === | |||
Similar to the Blista in GTA III, the size of the Blista does not entail its performance - though small, it is markedly agile and driven by a powerful engine. It has the top speed of the [[Buffalo]], with the lively handling of the [[Issi]], making for a good car. However, it is let down by its sub-par construction - three or four severe hits can cause the car to explode. | |||
