1997 Nissan Primera GX review from UK and Ireland
"Economical and Bomb proof, it's great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only fault is boot handle sometimes won't open unless key is inserted and turned.
General comments?
I've owned the car for over 6 years and have no plans to change it for some time yet, as a part time car dealer I know a good car when I see one! I change the oil/filter annually and coolant every four years and that is all the maintenance it's ever had or needed. It's still on the original exhaust and clutch and I've only had to replace one light bulb. There is no rust, fit and finish are superb. Steering feel and handling cannot be faulted, but the ride is a little firm compared to the latest Mondeo or Focus. Fuel economy is excellent, 40 Miles per gallon are the norm. The boot is huge, quality standard radio/cassette and no signs of wear make this a great family car.
