Since its introduction in GTA Vice City, the Blista Compact has usually been an impressive small tuner car, capable of outrunning more rare and more expensive performance cars. In GTA Vice City Stories, however, the Blista Compact is slightly heavier, and suffers from moderate oversteer, but retains its decent top speed and acceleration. Blista Compacts all use front wheel drive, except in GTA Vice City Stories. This could be due to the fact that it is based on a 1984 model in GTA Vice City Stories, rather than a 1986 model. In GTA San Andreas, the Blista Compact is turbocharged, as evidenced by its engine sound characteristics. |

It is very firm but still somewhat settled, but is somewhat unstable as it can roll over from obstructions easily.

+ | The Blista Compact is powered by what is stated to be a small V6 on the website, which outputs respectable power. The engine sound is humorously shared with the [[Monroe]] and [[Bifta]], sounding more like, to an extent, a V10. Its engine model is a twin-cam Inline-4 laid transversely, in a front-engine, front wheel drive configuration. |
||
+ | Overall, its performance is more comparable to a compact car than the Sports class it's put in. It has above-average acceleration, but a top speed which is lacking. At low speeds, the front wheel drive makes the Blista Compact feel very responsive and engaging, but it suffers from noticeable understeer at high speed. The car handles acceptably well, but does have occasional bouts of oversteer. Crash deformation is acceptable, and it's able to take a few decent hits before being disabled. Any major hit to either of the front wheels has a real possibility to jam the wheel, and immobilize the car, so colliding into hard objects should be avoided where possible. |

Template:Infobox vehicles
For the modern counterpart, see Blista.
The Blista Compact is a recurring 2-door sports hatchback available in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, and in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars (In the latter simply being named the Blista), as well as in the enhanced versions of Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online where it is manufactured by Dinka.
Design
The Blista Compact is a common car in the games it appears in, and is generally considered to be a sports compact car, particularly useful for quick getaways and general evasive purposes. Its above-average speed, acceleration and handling make it a useful car in almost any situation. It features front wheel drive system. Due to the front wheel drive system, if a player modifies the vehicles torque output via the handling the car can suffer from severe under steer.
3D Universe
Unlike many other vehicles, the Blista Compact's design has remained almost exactly the same in all its appearances, apart from different engines and minor cosmetic differences.
Like its design influence, the first generation Honda CR-X, the Blista Compact sports a hatchback design and a very small curb weight; in fact, the Blista Compact is easily the smallest and lightest passenger car in GTA Vice City. The car has a two-tone paint job in GTA Vice City, with an always-black bottom half, but in later games was remodeled to feature a variety of colors in all-over and two-tone style. Also, in Vice City it does have marking on left side of the trunk, but letters are in too low quality to be readable
Grand Theft Auto IV
In GTA IV, the car stays true to the Honda CR-X but has a greater poly build making the car more realistic. The car may spawn with additional parts such as a spoiler and twin exhaust, making it resemble the CR-X SiR. The GTA Chinatown Wars version resembles a 1982-1989 Mitsubishi Starion.
The Blista Compact becomes the second lightest car in GTA IV, the Uranus being the lightest. The Blista Compact may spawn with any combination of optional extras, including a spoiler (body colored or matte black), sunroof, side skirts, twin exhaust tips, or a body colored windshield banner. It may also say Hyper Dynamic Sports Blista on side if some of the optional extras are on it.
Grand Theft Auto V
Template:Next-Gen The car re-appears in the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC version of GTA V, with the same design as the GTA IV Blista Compact. It has two variants with minor differences; one with foglights and a glass sunroof, and one with a metal sunroof and no foglights. There is also a unique variant, the Go Go Monkey Blista.

Since its introduction in GTA Vice City, the Blista Compact has usually been an impressive small tuner car, capable of outrunning more rare and more expensive performance cars. In GTA Vice City Stories, however, the Blista Compact is slightly heavier, and suffers from moderate oversteer, but retains its decent top speed and acceleration. Blista Compacts all use front wheel drive, except in GTA Vice City Stories. This could be due to the fact that it is based on a 1984 model in GTA Vice City Stories, rather than a 1986 model. In GTA San Andreas, the Blista Compact is turbocharged, as evidenced by its engine sound characteristics.
Grand Theft Auto IV
It is powered by a high revving, twin cam 1.4L four-cylinder engine according to the badges, in an FF drivetrain layout, transversely laid, giving it a high top speed . The smooth 5-speed transmission and light weight means it accelerates rather quickly. It is stated to have "Invariable valve timing", meaning the valve's opening periods are synchronised to gain a smooth flow of air and fuel-release, thus giving better performance results.
The stiff suspension gives it taut handling, and paired with the fast acceleration and top speed. Braking is relatively good, partly due to its light weight, but ABS is unavailable due to its age. The body is relatively resistant to collisions, and for its size and age the engine is durable, however it still cannot sustain much gunfire or collisions before the engine dies out or catches fire.
It is also very easy to park due to its high maneuverability, and can spin around with one rear wheel in place, while in reverse, and is able to execute the Spin and Go maneuver.
Grand Theft Auto V
The Blista Compact is powered by what is stated to be a small V6 on the website, which outputs respectable power. The engine sound is humorously shared with the Monroe and Bifta, sounding more like, to an extent, a V10. Its engine model is a twin-cam Inline-4 laid transversely, in a front-engine, front wheel drive configuration.
Overall, its performance is more comparable to a compact car than the Sports class it's put in. It has above-average acceleration, but a top speed which is lacking. At low speeds, the front wheel drive makes the Blista Compact feel very responsive and engaging, but it suffers from noticeable understeer at high speed. The car handles acceptably well, but does have occasional bouts of oversteer. Crash deformation is acceptable, and it's able to take a few decent hits before being disabled. Any major hit to either of the front wheels has a real possibility to jam the wheel, and immobilize the car, so colliding into hard objects should be avoided where possible.

Trivia
General
- A Blista Compact can be found in Rockstar North's Manhunt.
- The GTA Vice City rendition has the same engine sound as the Taxi. The GTA Vice City Stories rendition has the same engine sound as the Sentinel, while the GTA San Andreas rendition shares its engine sound with the Majestic, Tahoma, and Feltzer.
- The default radio stations for the Blista Compact are:
- GTA IV: The Beat 102.7 or The Classics 104.1.
- GTA V: FlyLo FM or Soulwax FM.
- An early magazine scan of Vice City shows a beta Blista with a manufacturer badge that has a strong resemblance to the Chrysler Pentastar logo.
- An early screenshot of Vice City Stories of Victor Vance on an unnamed, beta motorcycle shows a Blista with the 'GPX' name on it's rear. It's possible that it may have had it's original design from Vice City's beta.
- A vehicle that is loosely based on Blista Compact appears in Bully.
Grand Theft Auto IV
- In GTA IV, half-built Blista Compacts appear as wrecked and undrivable props in a few garages, such as Brucie's Garage, Stevie's Garage, and inside an Auto workshop just north of the Sprunk warehouse in Industrial, Bohan. They can also be found in junkyards and other abandoned places around Liberty City.
- There is a glitch present with the Blista Compact, where you cannot shoot through the back hatch glass to kill the driver or passenger.
- The Blista Compact is one of five cars in GTA IV to be referred to by name, as a "silver Blista" during Clean Getaway. The other 3 being the "shitty beige Willard" from "It's Your Call," Gracie Ancelotti's pink Feltzer, the Patriot from "The Puerto Rican Connection" and the Romero used in "Undertaker."
- Similarly, two other Vehicles are referred to by their names in GTA San Andreas, namely the Merit in the mission 555 We Tip and the Packer in the Mission Cop Wheels.
- In GTA IV, on the back of the Blista Compact, as well as the Hakumai, there is a badge that says "Invariable Valve Timing," parodying Honda's VTEC.
- Irronically, "IVVT" does not exist, and, in simplest meaning, is what most stock road cars have as valve timing. It is the complete opposite of what it is supposed to mean, 'VVT', however, it was likely intended by Rockstar to mock Honda's VTEC engines.
- Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is the only game from the HD Universe that indicates the hatchback as "Blista," instead of "Blista Compact."
- In GTA IV, the police refer to the car as "Dinka Blista". This was probably it's beta name.
- In GTA IV, the Blista Compact is worth $1,500 at Stevie's garage, where Niko can bring the vehicle after completing all of his missions.
Grand Theft Auto V
- Interestingly, although the Blista Compact is not featured as a driveable vehicle in the XB360 and PS3 versions, wrecks of the Blista Compact can still be found around the map.
- The interior design of the Blista Compact is exactly the same as the Futo, just with a different logo on the steering wheel and lacking the "FUTO" patterned door cards. It originally included the word "FUTO" in the tachometer, but this was fixed in the Heists Update.
- The Blista Compact shares the same engine noise with the Monroe.
- Though most likely a glitch, activating the high-beams on the Blista Compact will generate a ball of light that is transparent through the license plate.
- When applying the "Dual Exit Exhaust" upgrade, smoke will only come out of the left exhaust.
- The Blista Compact, as with IV, has a unique industrial wheel design which cannot be found in Los Santos Customs.
- The Blista Compact is listed as a Sports class instead of the Compacts class.
- The Description of the vehicle states the car is powered by a V6, however, the in-game model reveals a transversely laid Inline-4.
