Design

The Premier strongly resembles a 1991-1994 Chevrolet Caprice (it just has a blockier structure) but it might be the '91 or '92 because they fit in the game's time setting. In GTA IV, it resembles a Chevrolet Cobalt sedan, but the front seems influenced by 1995–2005 Chevrolet Cavaliers.

Performance

Acceleration, speed, and handling are all quite impressive, while the sturdiness and bulk of the chassis render the Premier capable of withstanding heavy damage, making this front-engine, rear-drive beast simply one of the best passenger vehicles in the game. The strong engine, responsive handling, and sturdy frame also make the Premier an ideal car for performing the PIT maneuver and for ramming other vehicles, hence its use as a police car.

One interesting note is that performance aspects for the Premier come in in three flavors: mediocre, impressive, and fantastic. The version of the Premier with the worst performance is the Taxi, with modest acceleration and speed, and a heavy, lumbering frame. Next is the civilian version, with its outstanding performance and lighter chassis. Last is the Police version, which is the civilian Premier with a slightly more powerful engine and increased durability, and truly one of the best vehicles in the game. The San Fierro cop car has better suspension than the one in Los Santos.
