The starter motor needed replacing recently after it failed, I wasn't told the reason why.
The only other faults are an annoying rattle somewhere in the dash and a knocking sound from the rear (maybe the doors). Both are intermittent and irritating.
I knew a little about the car and it's capabilities and wasn't disappointed.
The handling is very good for such a big car. In-fact I am impressed. I have driven smaller sportier cars than the Primera GT and can say that the handling is definitely good.
The engine is powerful without a doubt although not unrefined and the delivery is smooth. The high compression cylinders seem to deliver at the higher speeds. This is not a boy racer's 0-60 car. However once the car has it's legs the 100 arrives quickly. Powering through the gears, although not exhilarating, it's a breeze and the car will punch through the air at 130+ quite happily.
No wonder the factory Nissan Primera's creamed the opposition in the BTCC a couple of years ago.
I have had two GT's and think they are great, my current one will do 140+. One of the most underated performance saloons around and I can tell you that it leave an AUDI TT for dead on the motor-way!
I've had mine since new - 4 years ago.
Great car. It has one minor rattle, But a solid all-of-a-piece car, little flex, and begs to be driven hard.
I love it- shame they don't make them now : (

I have recently bought a nissan primera gt its in fantastic condition. with loads of toys. eg electric windows/mirrors,6 cd changer,sports suspension, rear spoiler, air con, heated wing mirrors,half leather, the list goes on.
In fact it's a cracking car with a bullet proof dohc 2.0litre engine, and the performance leaves many hot hatches embarrased.. best car I have owned all round.
