1997 Nissan Primera Reviews - Page 10 of 10

Rattle from the dash.

Wing mirror cracked one week after purchase in freezing weather.

Vibration on steering.

A reliable car.

Quite fast but it is better for fast cruising than low speed acceleration due to the wide gear spacing on lower gears.

Very hard suspension which is good for handling but not so good on bumpy roads and over speed humps.

Seats could be more comfortable.

Good equipment spec.

I think this would be a good car to buy secondhand particularly if you like to drive fast. It seems to compare well against other cars of the same price, but I never liked it.

Too slow, would prefer my next car to be an SRI for the extra power.

Radio cassette replaced under 3 year warranty. Various trim noises from dashboard. Sometimes difficult to select reverse gear, and third gear crunches when selected from cold.

Generally a very well put together car. Economical on fuel, never drops below 35mpg. Very free revving engine, and excellent handling, a much better car than the Mondeo it has replaced!!

Nothing.

A few rattles, but considering the reliability of the car these are insignificant.

A wolf in sheep's clothing, drives well around town, but reach the magic 3,700 RPM & Whooooooosh..........

I cannot recommend the Nissan dealer in Guildford though.... Bad bad attitude towards aftersales service!!!!!

30,000 miles (16,000 by me).

Nothing.

Quick, very quick, holds the road well, good supportive seats, 5 door has lots of space for 'the kitchen sink', comfortable, but bland.

The mirror plastic housing vibrates ANNOYINGLY as does something else in the front console but it never does it when I am looking for it!!

Fuel tank vapour leak recall.

Reverse gear crunches, dealer claims this is feature! i.e. no syncromesh on reverse.

Squeaking wiper blade arm (Needed bearing lube).

Fuel gauge failure.

Generally a good car but spoilt by irritating minor problems and disinterested dealer response.

Nothing at all.

This is the 14th Nissan in my family now. Also my 4th Primera-Bluebird.

These are great cars and if they can run on the Croatian roads then they can run anywhere. I dream about the 2.0GT or if I get lucky (win a Lotto) then a Skyline!

Tank was changed upon recall from the company.

I was very satisfied in general, so that I bought another Primera with enriched accessories (still 1.6) last week.

Nothing so far.

Petrol tank replaced on recall.

Handling is brilliant.

Next time I'd buy the SRi to get a 2 litre engine to do it justice.

Handles at least as well as any other car I've had including 309GTi.
