The '''Premier''' is a 4-door sedan featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. In GTA San Andreas, it is the civilian version of the [[Taxi]] and the [[Police Car]], it also appears to be a "cousin" of the bulkier [[Elegant]]. | The '''Premier''' is a 4-door sedan featured in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V]].

The Premier strongly resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Caprice#1991-1996|1991-1994 Chevrolet Caprice]], but it might be the 1991 or 1992 because they fit in with the game's setting; the taillights, which are rectangular in shape as opposed to the Caprice's rounder taillights, might have some influence from [[wp:Ford Crown Victoria#1992–1994|1992-1994 Ford Crown Victoria]]'s.

In GTA IV, the [[Declasse]]-manufactured Premier is designed as a compact, four-door sedan that resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Cobalt|Chevrolet Cobalt]] sedan, obviously for its four-door design but also for its taillight design - which differs from the coupe. The front actually seems to bear more of a resemblance to the [[wp:Lexus ES#Fourth generation (2002-2006)|2002-2006 Lexus ES]]. The taillights are [[wp:Altezza lights|Altezza-styled]], which are more popular in imported cars and custom cars in the United States than domestics. The taillights look loosely inspired by the ones from the [[wp:Lexus IS#First generation (2001-2005)|1998-2005 Lexus IS]] (aka the Toyota Altezza), and there also seems to be some Cobalt influences, however they just seem improvised; the rest of the rear also seems improvised. The front bumper might be a result of things being rearranged (as Rockstar has done with other vehicles). According to its badging, it is powered by a 4 liter engine, probably a V6. | In GTA IV, the [[Declasse]]-manufactured Premier is designed as a compact, four-door sedan that resembles a [[wp:Chevrolet Cobalt|Chevrolet Cobalt]] sedan, obviously for its four-door design but also for its taillight design - which differs from the coupe.

Other variations include the fact that the Taxi is the only front-wheel drive version of the Premier, partly explaining its comparatively poor performance. Furthermore, the [[San Fierro Police Department|San Fierro police]] [[Police Car|car]] enjoys improved suspension over that of the police car in Los Santos (most likely due to San Fierro's hilly streets). | Other variations include the fact that the Taxi is the only front-wheel drive version of the Premier, partly explaining its comparatively poor performance.

The engine itself is responsive, propelling the vehicle off the line quickly, and giving it an acceptable top speed of 145 km/h (90 mph). Handling is rather good for a car in the mid-sized 4 door class, keeping the Premier stable in most turns, though some oversteer can be felt. The suspension is rather soft however, giving way to body roll. Braking is adequate, though not as good as other sedans. Crash deformation is below average, with the Premier stalling after only a few collisions. | ||
The Premier in GTA V appears to have been given a performance upgrade, as it accelerates faster than the previous rendition. The car is now mated to a front wheel drive layout. | |||
== Customization in GTA San Andreas == | |||
The Premier in GTA San Andreas can be modified at a [[TransFender]], which offers a moderate range of parts to the car. | |||
