1997 Nissan Primera SLX review from UK and Ireland
"Technically a good car but it doesn't feel as good as it should"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattle from the dash.
Wing mirror cracked one week after purchase in freezing weather.
Vibration on steering.
General comments?
A reliable car.
Quite fast but it is better for fast cruising than low speed acceleration due to the wide gear spacing on lower gears.
Very hard suspension which is good for handling but not so good on bumpy roads and over speed humps.
Seats could be more comfortable.
Good equipment spec.
I think this would be a good car to buy secondhand particularly if you like to drive fast. It seems to compare well against other cars of the same price, but I never liked it.
