Mazda Premacy (1999-)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Excellent value. How many more options can you fit as standard?

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable. Much like a normal saloon.

  • On the road

    Driving

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Based upon 323 estate, bit more 'top heavy' and as long as you use those breaks, it corners fine.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Keep revs above 3000rpm and it shifts, although it's not a sportscar and you will suddenly see your fuel drop a significant amount!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable, although the non-warranty stuff will certainly go after 3 years.

    Discrete. Mistaken for the silver star when it first came out (haha).

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Reasonable, although I think the revised model has better seats.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Criminals won't be able to take it anywere, however, they are free to throw a brick through the window and the premacy will stay silent... bad move Mazda.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Typical dealer stuff... I hate them.
