1998 Nissan Primera 2.0 GT review from UK and Ireland
"Lovely car - not a lot of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Irritating rattle from dashboard area.
Rust blisters around rear spoiler - every one I have seen has this.
General comments?
I used to sell Nissan's for a living - so it was a natural progression to get one for myself.
The performance is extremely good (especially when it hits around 3800rpm) - it still returns around 35mpg through various types of local and motorway combined driving.
The electronic trip computer is a very useful gadget too - lets you keep an eye on fuel etc.
Make sure the alloys are kept nicely - because they are big bucks to rectify.
Recommend Esure for insurance - they were nearly £500 cheaper than the AA ;o)
