The Premier is a 4-door sedan available in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV. It is the civilian version of the Taxi and the Police Car in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, but not in Grand Theft Auto IV, and a cousin of the bulkier Elegant, once again, only in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
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; the taillights might have some influence from '92-'94 Crown Victorias.
In GTA IV the Declasse manufactured Premier resembles a Chevrolet Cobalt LS Sedan (has different taillights compared to the SS version). The front bumper might be a result of things being rearranged (as Rockstar has done with other vehicles). It sounds as though powered by a V6.
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 in GTA San Andreas: 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.
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 car enjoys improved suspension over that of the police car in Los Santos (most likely due to San Fierro's hilly streets).
