1996 Nissan Primera SRi review from UK and Ireland
"Superb car, decent performance, good price!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I somehow managed to blow a fuse when I fitted my radio, which appears to have reset the odometer to zero!
The clutch went about 3 weeks after I got the car. The dealership replaced it for me free of charge, even though it's not covered under the warranty.
General comments?
I'm really impressed with the car. I've had Nissans before, without any problems.
The bucket seats are comfy and hold you in place well.
You need to get the revs pretty high to get it to shift, but this is normal for 2 litre cars. Once you do get the revs up it shifts well.
The suspension is pretty hard which means it handles really well, however this means you can get a bumpy ride on some roads.
All in all I'm happy with the car, especially for the price!
