1995 Nissan Primera eGT review from UK and Ireland
"Like it's sister the Almera GTi, the Primera eGT is one seriously underrated car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Knocking noise from the front side of the car under hard acceleration, suspect the constant velocity joint or drive shaft. Must get it seen to as soon as possible.
General comments?
Excellent overall car, handling is top notch, in a different league from the Mondeo or Vectra. My car has been lowered about 50 mm with 16" alloys, I am not sure if this has made it better or worse as it was like this when I bought it.
Build quality superb, again better than the Mondeo or Vectra.
The car is fairly quick but not really rapid, could do with a 2.5 V6 engined model.
Cabin a little small, not enough headroom really for 6' plus people.
Everything is electric which is nice until it goes wrong!
The only minor niggle is that the gear change is not as good as it could be. More so changing down into second gear, must try some fully synthetic gearbox oil to see if this helps.
