Nissan Primera Saloon 1996-
  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    AC, alarm, full electrics, sunroof - £3700! Can't be right can it?

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pricey service to keep that Nissan stamp, but prices could be worse.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Strong chassis, corners well and has supurb grip.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Nothing before 4000rpm. Goes quite well top end but not startling considering 150bhp.

  • Living with it

    Do I dare say I like the GT kit? Mine came with nicer alloys as standard. As long as you don't modify it, looks ok!

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Hard ride, but then that adds to the appeal. Supportive half-leather bucket seats are nice.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Alarm and immobiliser. Doubt it's gonna get stolen.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Just had a full service and they didn't spot the left headlight was out. Not bad for £200. Asked them about a mysterious knocking on the front and was told that all primeras did it. Thats funny, I have a diesel one that doesn't. Sorry Nissan!
