1995 Nissan Primera slx review from UK and Ireland
"A car worth hunting and driving a reasonable distance to get your hands on one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust blew shortly after acquisition, but due to high mileage I was not bothered. Also cheap to fix.
Car is gathering water under passenger foot well. seals somewhere I guess are gone. Cured by parking car sloping roof to drivers side.
Fixed door seals later and no problem.
General comments?
For the high mileage it came with I expected this to be a temp car at 995 pounds, but engine still runs sweet now and have fallen in love with the amount of extras on this car.
My first car with ABS, which at first I thought why because the brakes were so much stronger and smoother than the previous car, but soon appreciated as first child on bike came shooting out of a side road.
Didn't even know I had traction control for first few months.
I have driven many cars for companies and owned in the past Mini, Escort, 214si, BMW 520i SE and the Nissan wins in all categories apart from its oversized rear end in city driving.
