1997 Nissan Primera GT review from UK and Ireland
"A real joy to own and drive."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Two exhaust sections have needed replacing due to slight "blowing".
Battery flattened by fault in interior light, which didn't turn itself off.
General comments?
The car has been extremely fun to drive, combining an understated presence with a responsive engine.
It is possible to drive it sedately, but the free-revving engine is itching to propel the car toward the horizon.
The boot space is generous enough to take all a family can throw at it.
The low driving position and stiff suspension, coupled with the firm, but supportive seats make any journey, short or long, a pleasure to undertake.
