Nissan Primera Hatchback 1999

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Bought three years old, £9000 less than new price!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Service costs seem fair, no repairs yet. Great warranty should cover most things for the first year anyway.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The sport trim spec does add to the driving experience with more responsive suspension and low profile tyres.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    MPG is around 30 for mixed driving, but you do get great acceleration for the investment!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    You can't beat a Japenese car, especially Nissan... no problems yet.

    The poor Primera gets a lot of bad press for its 'un-inspiring look', but I think the Sport version compares very favourably to any other car in its class (especially the cheap and cheerful Vectra).

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Climate control is a touch of luxury and the sporty suspension doesn't rattle the nerves while on motorways.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Not been nicked yet. The NATS seems to cover most angles.

    Service

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Valet and initial inspection not up to much, but the overall service was good.
