1997 Nissan Primera Si review from UK and Ireland
"A lot of car for the money. Reliable too."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear view mirror rattles in cold weather.
That's it!
General comments?
It's not as quick as a GTi, but given it's a 1.6 in a heavy car, that's not surprising.
Very comfortable interior: leather wheel, handbrake and gear selector make it feel a bit special. Seats perfect, even on long journeys.
Add alloys and it looks the part.
Handling amazingly good for a car its size.
Shifts five comfortably and swallows luggage.
Absolute bargain - nothing else with air conditioning on the market for so little.
Could do with a little more power, but given it squeezes into the bottom road tax bracket, insurance group 7 and returns 35mpg, I'm prepared to forgive.
