1997 Nissan Primera GT review from UK and Ireland
"Overall a good and reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter motor just beginning to screech on cold starts.
Rust appearing on boot where the spoiler is mounted.
General comments?
This car has great handling and sticks to the road like glue, much better than my Citroen ZX I had previously.
It's a good looking car with the body- kit and larger wheels, although inside is a bit dull - grey plastic everywhere.
Performance for a big car is reasonable with 150bhp, but you have to keep it above 4500rpm to get the best out of it, otherwise you get left behind (got obliterated by a Mercedes Sprinter van on the motorway the other day and by a VW Polo diesel on a hill!)
Does anyone know if it is easy to modify this type of engine, needs more torque.
