Dodgy lights, a consistent problem - gets through a lot of bulbs - intermittent problem proving difficult to fix.
Otherwise 100% reliable.
The original gutless wonder, 6 gear changes every time the road points even slightly up, three down three back up again. It has the acceleration of a dead hippo. Drive it on the motorway or not at all.
The handling is simply outstanding, however. It needs to be believe me.
The worst seats and driving position/pedal location I've ever experienced, despite multi-adjustable driver's seat. My osteopath's bill has increased exponentially.
Depreciation is terrifying - I paid £6000 for this car two years ago, it's now worth £2000. I make that £80 a week depreciation. Buy a VW.
Hi I'm Rob.
I used a Primera 2.0 Dlx 'N' reg for 4 years on the Taxis. I travelled a total of 286'000 miles in the car and agree the power is absolutely terrible! However I notice your previous car was a ZX Furio - Which is a high powered sports car. Therefore I think you are being a bit harsh. Find it difficult to understand the price difference between purchase and re-sale over 2 years. Sounds like you may have paid too much in the first place. If you still like the idea of Primera ownership I would suggest a 2.0 petrol version as they really are good.
All the best.
Rob.
I owned a primera dlx 2.0L fr 8 months and only got rid of it because I needed a 7 seater. I thought it was a grate car handled well £40 filled tank up and 500 miles later (round town) only just time to fill up. this was also one of the comfy cars to drive yes ecceleration is poor, but it makes up for it top end.
You outta 39 other owners of a primera 1995 dislike it, hmmmmmmmmm seems very strange to me.
