1999 Nissan Primera Si review from UK and Ireland
"A bit of fun in a dependable package"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator bearing started to whine at 25k and three weeks after warranty finished. Alternator replaced and two thirds of the cost paid for by Nissan UK.
Carpets are bad quality with a hole on drivers foot-well after 30k.
General comments?
Ultra reliable, feels solid and safe to drive, fantastic handling and brakes. Could do with bit more power, but manages to return up-wards of 40 mpg on a run, with 30+mpg achievable in town.
