Nissan Primera Saloon 1.8 16V Sport 4d (2000/X) - Owner Review

Only owning 3 cars, and driving 5 this is the best so far, just not impressed when I've gone the wrong way and need to turn around.

Nissan Primera Saloon (99-02)

Value

5 out of 5

Novice button pushers will like this, and with security features a bargain. But do Haggle more with the salesman. I wish it would have electric seats, I find knobs a pain.

Costs

4 out of 5

Going from a diesel to petrol again noticed the running costs (doing about 500 miles a week). But reliability hopes to prove to be cost effective.

Driving

4 out of 5

Only owning 3 cars, and driving 5 this is the best so far, just not impressed when I've gone the wrong way and need to turn around.

Performance

4 out of 5

Well it's no GTi, but it does ok for a tank on wheels. Fourth gear seems to be useless.

Reliability

5 out of 5

No problems so far mechanically. Only the stereo is crap, and the multichanger was replaced.

Image

4 out of 5

I like the saloon wannabe coupe image it promotes. I can look Great from some angles, and poor from other angles. Hidden exhaust and colour coded almost everthing. Only looks good in sporty colours, otherwise all angles look bad. Any green looks crap.

Comfort

4 out of 5

Plenty of space is always a neccesity for me, in which this does ok, but the seats are a little harder than I like.

Security

5 out of 5

Well it seems to have good security features, not had them tested thank the Lord! The extra security touch on the remote locking can get annoying.

Service

5 out of 5

If service is always like this from a main dealer, then I will always buy from one.

Problems

Bodywork
Funny angles on bodywork meant costly repairs.

Engine
Not a problem, but early days.

Gearbox
Only had a problem with 3rd gear a couple of times, but that could be my driving.

Other
Annoyed that there is no stereo remote, and seat positioning is manual.
