Only fault is boot handle sometimes won't open unless key is inserted and turned.
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.
Update from owner April 2007: We've still got the same Primera 1.6 GX and it's still faultless and rust free. It is still on the original exhaust, clutch and even spark plugs, no wear to the seats, original paint is perfect and it's running beautifully at 65000 miles. Recommended!
