1998 Nissan Primera SLX review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent reliablity, performance and handling. A very good buy indeed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing. Car has only covered 12000 miles but runs great so far. Will post again in a year or two's time....
Update 22/8/2000:
Nothing at all - but changed the gearbox oil to a fully-synthetic 75W90S (ELF) to improve 1-2 gearshift on cold mornings.
General comments?
Outstanding build quality and warranty. No creaks or rattles of any kind. Head and shoulders above the Ford Mondeo. Excellent ride and handling. Good supplying dealer (Hartwell Nissan, Chester). Only drawback is excessive road noise on coarse surfaces and unadventurous interior and exterior styling.
Update 22/8/2000:
Car is still as good as new. Had 18,000 mile service a few weeks ago; good and reasonably priced service from the dealer.
Excellent and reliable car with very good handling - ideal family saloon. Rather boring styling is its only drawback.
