1997 Nissan Primera GT review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant sports tourer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leather seat side bolsters wearing on drivers side.
General comments?
Having always owned "hot hatches" I was pleasantly surprised to discover how sporty this car is. The handling too is also superb and compares well to my previous car (Renault Clio 1.8 16 valve)
Where it really excels though is on the motorway, I have quite easily kept pace with Subaru Imprezza turbo's and Honda Civic type R's. Know wonder Nissan won the British Touring car championship with this car!
