2003 Nissan Primera T-Spec review from UK and Ireland

Nothing.

After driving a Primera SE+ for the last three years, and being highly impressed, I thought it would be difficult to find a better car. Nissan have more than bettered the last version with this new model.

There are quite a number of noticeable improvements over the last model. The car is a lot quieter, which is a definite improvement. Larger wheels also make for better handling and a smoother ride. The M-CVT gearbox is so smooth, the only thing that makes you aware of gear changes is watching the revs fall on the rev counter. The seats on the new model are more comfortable, with both front seats now electrically adjusted, rather than just the driver's side.

How come Nissan can fit so many gadgets on this car as standard, that are only options on other makes? Admittedly, this is the 'top of the range' model, but it comes with DVD Satellite Navigation, Fully Automatic Climate Control, Xenon headlamps, headlamp washers, electro-chromatic rear view mirror, and intelligent cruise control all as standard.

I could keep writing about this car for a long time, but suffice to say it has turned out to be an excellent choice for my next three years' driving. Oh - and I like the new shape too!
