2005 Nissan Primera SVE review from UK and Ireland
"A lot of car for your money"

Nothing has gone wrong with the car.
General comments?
In dark colours this model looks very nice. Mine is a Metallic Dark Blue. Dark Grey also looks very nice.
Performs OK for a small 1.6L engine.
Full colour display used for reversing camera, sat nav and drive computer is a very nice feature.
Instruments are in the centre of the dash. This takes some getting used to. It is just as visible from the passenger's seat making it difficult to lie about your current speed to wives and girlfriends.
Lots of boot space in the sedan.
Suspension has been improved on previous models. I have no problem with it.
Very safe. Has 6 air bags for instance among other safety features!
Any Aussies living in the UK or Ireland will appreciate the sheer size and comfort of this vehicle. Such vehicles are rare here.
The 2005 models sold in Ireland use metric only on the speedo. Unfortunately still uses imperial on the sat nav. It may be configurable, but I haven't figured it out yet.
A big step down from my commodore S in terms of performance, but what attracted me to this vehicle is the sheer size and gadgets.
