Nissan Primera Saloon 1990-
  • Economy

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Cost of boot latch £20. Depreciation a bit steep, not helped by Nissan bringing out new models so often.

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Beats Cavalier SRi and Renault 19 16V - handling superb at any speed. Gears very slick.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Excellent power for size of car. Just need places to be able to use it! Engine smooth from idling speed up to 7,500rpm - I'm sure it could go higher.

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    As everyone else has said, suspension firm on bumpy city roads, but get the benefit on country lanes. Seats good (leather).
