1996 Nissan Primera Equation review from UK and Ireland
"Fantastic family car, with a boot to match!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well I have just got the car. But I thought I should add the "Equation" Model to the Survey.
I am currently having to replace the radiator. Man this thing is finished! 90% of it is gone! I can see right through the thing! Obviously hammered to death by the previous owner!
Front shock absorber's are so stiff they are non-functional! They'll be getting replaced soon too.
General comments?
Other than the above mentioned items, this car is a dream to drive.
The steering is responsive and takes the car exactly where you point it.
You can go round a sharp bend in the road at 60 and not even know it!
Superb motorway cruiser. Although slightly under powered.
Still it gets the job done and being a Nissan it will last forever.
The 16 valve element of the engine eats the petrol if you press it. But under normal driving a tenner will get you far!
Interior trim is of superb quality, perhaps a little dull, but well put together and doesn't fall apart.
The sunroof is a god send!
And as for the boot! Darn that is so cavernous, you could easily get lost in it!
