Mazda Premacy
29/08/2022
The car (a Mazda Premacy) went really well over the Rimutakas and then the Napier-Taupo Road. It had plenty of power and the flexible seating arrangement allowed us to fit in three large suitcases, 5 carry on luggage and 5 people reasonably well. We weren't constantly topping up the petrol. A great car.
