We had a Cavalier before this, it did massive milage, the time came to send it to the grave yard.

Its a 00 Reg and diesel too, but has turbo. i have driven many many cars in my time so was a little aprehensive. i am pleased to say it impresses, the wife loves it and so do the kids.

We had a Cavalier before this, it did massive milage, the time came to send it to the grave yard. On looking around the premacy caught our eyes, it looks tall yet short, but not in a wagon R type of way. Its a 00 Reg and diesel too, but has turbo. i have driven many many cars in my time so was a little aprehensive. i am pleased to say it impresses, the wife loves it and so do the kids. The diesel is a 5 seater and all three of the back seats are removable which is excellent. The centre seat has the same style "picnic" seat as a Galaxy. The seats are so simple to remove and refit, a couple of clicks and your done. Theres pockets and cup holders galore, its slightly wider than a normal car, but this doesnt seem to affect its parking abilities. The turning circle is shorter than a cavalier but then the total wheel base is also shorter. Its easy too drive, has a high view and is comfortable even over long distances. I am 6ft 4 and theres loads of space when driving or as a passenger in the front or rear. Plus theres an arm rest for the driver, total bonus. As mentioned it is nippy , and pulls like a train up hills. More power than most will need for such a relatively small car. Top speed on the diesel is 104MPH, its a solid speed doesn't weave or wobble, the steering response is positive and the engine doesn't feel like its being pushed hard. The brakes are demonic. The feel is like a rally car, the slightest touch grabs real hard , but dont worry as it has full anit-lock and excellent feed back. This weekend i pushed it hard for understeer, i am glad to say the feed back is excellent, no normal driver would ever push this car that far. The front end does not " let go" it just drifts and is easily brought back by laying off the power, there is no massive body roll, or snatch back once you lay off the power, in fact the suspension is more than adequate. The only thing is that the view is possibly clouded by the roof spar,( please bear in mind i sit back at full extension) this is under extremely fast conditions. In car entertainment comes from a fitted radio, cassete player, and its plenty loud enough, adjustable stick on the steering wheel adds that extra touch. CD changer is optional, and there is loads of room to fit it in the boot. THE BOOT, what can i say , at full adjustment for passengers theres still a cavern in there ! Take the rear seats out and you could fit a kitchen sink in with ease. It also comes with a cover , so if you would like to keep things away from preying eyes its easily done. Not to mention the security system. Need any more info just mail me . I Slept in this car with a double blow up mattress after removing the rear seats and folding the front ones forwards, had a better nights sleep than i would have of in any tent ! We have had it 1 month now, and have covered 2,000 miles in it effortlessly, and without a single gripe. The dash is big and plastic, but who cares. Afterall you cannot store bags or children on the dash board can you ? The Air con works and is easy to use as are the controls in the cabin area. If you are looking at this vehicle take a serious look. I write tests for PWC and am rather picky, yet i love this car.
Advantages: Very Big, Great for family with kids, Boot Space endless, Smooth Ride, Big yet Compact car Disadvantages: Lacks rear heating in our car
...were just half satisfactory. MAZDA PREMACY..5 SEATER met all my expectations and first time we went on drive it was really like flying in air. In car facilities were also satisfactory. Had trays and cup holdersfor rear seats and front as well. Excellent safety systems. Central locking, sliding and tilting sun roof perfect in summer drives. My daughter is 1 1/2 years old as soon as she gets into the car...she is busy looking outside due the height ... ...ride even if it is long. The look of car is so elegant, posh. Though its big..its compact enough to park anywhere like normal cars. Excellent for long drives. Car controls are great. As its big car the fuel consumption is satisfactory..need it. I would recommend this car to a family with 2-3 kids. The seats are very comfortable and you can fold them too if u need more space. I feel two people can sleep comfortably in the boot. Very big. We have already ...
