Its top speed, 145 km/h (90 mph), is good, but not impressive. Acceleration is good, but nothing special, and in line with the Merit's vanilla, everyday sedan image. The GTA IV rendition of the Merit is powered by a V6, mated to a 5 speed transmission in a rear-wheel drive layout. Coupled with its four-seat capacity, the Merit is a good choice for drive-bys and police evasion. This rendition of the Merit is designed as a balanced out performance, having average brake response and cornering, and good acceleration and speed. It has the same properties as that of a regular Merit. The car is used during the mission First Date and can be kept afterwards. In Michelle is depicted to own a unique silver Merit when the player first meets her. This car is also the standard base for the Police Patrol car and a taxi car. In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Merit, assuming a Declasse badge, is redesigned with a similar look to the 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala with the back seemingly inspired by a mid-1990s BMW E36 3-Series, the front bumper could be derived from a variety of cars, and the headlights look more reminiscent of a fourth generation Pontiac GTO than the Impala (the split grille is also Pontiac-like). The Merit is originally based on a fourth generation, 1992-1995 Mazda 929, one of a handful of vehicles in GTA San Andreas with a rounded body design.
