2003 Mazda Premacy GSi review from UK and Ireland
"At 5 years old the dealer repair estimate was more than the trade in value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rust blisters on rear wheel arches / quarter panels. Manufacturing fault on this age Premacy. Mazda offered to repair, but dealer wanted more than the offer.
Traded it in without repair after months of fruitless negotiation.
Rear brakes replaced at 40000 miles.
General comments?
Disappointed when rust appeared, otherwise a reliable practical workhorse.
