Nissan Primera Estate 2.0i SLX 5d (1995/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Purchased at 3 yrs old for £6k, and have just sold for £800. I think I've had my moneys worth!
Costs
Servicing and repairs reasonable, except for full exhaust replacement (apparently only Nissan can supply manifold and flexible tube to mid-section, and they know it!).

On the road
Driving
A good old workhorse.
Performance
Quite quick for its size. Never ever managed to get more than 30mpg from it, but what more can you expect from a petrol model?

Living with it
Reliability
Never let us down. Bomb proof!
Image
Looks old fashioned now, but who cares! I didn't buy it for its looks.
Comfort
Drivers seat a bit thin on the old padding, and a lumber bar that does next to nothing. Reasonable leg room for rear passengers. Fantastic load carrying capability.

Security and Service
Security
Had a non-manufacturer (WASO) system fitted, which gave up after 10 years and no one will repair!
Service
Used Ancaster Croydon up until 80k miles. Fairly reasonable and unusually helpful, until we had a 'falling out' over a replacement exhaust system needed very shortly after a service & MOT. Used local garage thereafter at reasonable cost.
