1997 Nissan Primera SLX () review from UK and Ireland
"Great all round family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No faults.
Had to put a complete set of tires on shortly after purchase as previous set were badly worn in places.
General comments?
Handles well and very nice to drive.
Automatic box is excellent. Gear changes are smooth and predictable. Really takes the effort out of heavy traffic driving.
Generally, the engine is up to the job. It can be a little noisy at high revs though. It would have benefited from a ‘smoother’ 6 cylinder.
Real cruising car. Enjoys being on the motorway.
Very stable at high speed. This means you need to keep an eye on the speedometer as 90-100mph can easily pass for 70ish.
Bland, but very functional interior.
Comfortable and highly adjustable seats.
Tons of space in the boot. Accommodates a double buggy and weeks worth of shopping with ease ;-)
