PREMACY uses an engine speed-sensitive power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering system. The gear ratio of the system is set at 15:1, which Mazda claims enables agile manoeuvrability and good handling. The support structure of the steering assembly has been changed to a bushing mounted arrangement to improve mounting support rigidity and better response to steering inputs. A sheetmetal support yoke is used on the steering gear mechanism to reduce friction and obtain more precise gearing. The turning circle is 10.8 metres.
