Nissan Primera Estate 2.0 16V Sport+ 5d (2001/Y) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Fantastic bargains to be had second hand.
Costs
All it's needed is an oil change & two new tyres. Dealer servicing costs seem reasonable but you're held to ransom with spares prices. I get about 33mpg to work, long runs about 38mpg driving gently

On the road
Driving
Very good, great round the corners but a pain when setting off on slippery roads - with no traction control it's very easy to spin the front wheels! Xenon headlights light the way but other drivers are constantly flashing headbeam at you.
Performance
Certainly the best performing vehicle I've owned.

Living with it
Reliability
It's a Nissan. They don't go wrong.
Image
I like it and it doesn't advertise it's sport's quality (apart from on the badge) which I think is a good thing. It's nice to have something different as you don't see many sport+ estates around.
Comfort
Seats are comfortable and there's plenty of room even with five in. With climate control, 6 CD changer, electric sunroof, electric windows all round, onboard computer and loads of gadgets you're only left wondering why traction control was left out.

Security and Service
Security
With Nissan NATS and factory fitted alarm I don't think it's going to go far!
Service
Not dealt with servicing from dealers as I do it myself. Parts seem expensive but maybe I'm living in the past. (New Remote key + programming into NATS system cost me £145.)
