Nissan Primera Hatchback 1.6i LX 5d (1995/N) Owner Review

Economy
Value
Fantastic price for its reliability, I picked one up with 68k miles on clock for under 2 grand and never had a problem.
Costs
Petrol consumption not too bad, not great urban MPG. Parts are a rip off from Nissan dealers however (remote central locking keyfob = £130!)

On the road
Driving
Not bad at all. Disappointing a bit when trying to put your foot down, but eventually gets there. Smooth runner though.
Performance
Nice on the country lanes, corners well, smooth on motorway. However, it has a very high clutch biting point, takes some getting used to! Picks up speed quite well on the long run.

Living with it
Reliability
Solid as a rock, keeps plodding along no problem.
Image
Depends which type you get, mine has the front and back spoilers which gives it a bit of a lift, however sticking a set of alloys on it does give it a sporty feel. It will accept 17" alloys without problems and changes the image! Still not bad overall.
Comfort
Very ordinary and bland, no lumbar support. Still, it beats sitting on a stool.

If you get a Primera P10, get one with the front spoiler, it makes the car look 10 times better.
