1998 Nissan Primera GX review from UK and Ireland
"A great family car offering cheap comfortable motoring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stone chips on the front bonnet.
Rear passenger door handle cover became loose.
Air conditioning does not function.
General comments?
We have found the Primera to be very reliable.
We average between 39 and 42 mpg for a family of four with luggage and occasionally with a roof rack.
The handling is better than average and provided the 1.6 engine is revved above 3000 rpm, the performance is satisfactory.
The seats are comfortable. I am 1.95m tall and able to find a good driving position.
The car has a very large boot and is able to take all of the family holiday items (with careful packing).
I would definitely buy another Nissan, looking to the Tino or X-Trail to meet our needs.
