2001 Mazda Premacy 1.8 review from Singapore
"Good MPV for the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine rather noisy when driving at 120kph and over as noise protrude into cabin. Wind noise also higher.
General comments?
Very torquey ride considering an MPV of 7 seater. Road holding good like saloons. Fuel consumption reasonable as compare to other MPV's in the market. Getting average of 11km/litre of fuel. Roomy for 5 seats. If fully use up on 7 seats, some legroom compensation needed with juggling between middle row seat. High seating position without the need to climb in. Thsi is just what I need. Meaning the floor board is same as saloon cars. Only the seats heights are higher. With the ceiling also higher. Stable at high speeds around 160kph. 3rd row seat should have split fold rather than complete fold with removal option.
Never regret buying the Mazda Premacy 1.8A. Surprisingly powerful engine match in.
