1997 Nissan Primera GT review from UK and Ireland
"Cannot praise this car enough"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major at all, when I first got the car the exhaust kept comming out from it's mounts, but had that fixed for £5, also the odd rattle.
General comments?
I love this car, I have owned it for almost a year, it's nice to have a car that will sit easily at 80mph on the motorway and is easy to drive round town. But when you want it to, it can really go just keep it over 4000rpm and the noise you get is wonderful (I've had mine to 137mph, 0-60mph just over 8 seconds). Also the handling for a big car is out of this world, you just keep pushing it and it eats up the road.
One slightly negative thing is the hard suspension, but you can live with that.
The seat are supportive and comfortable and head room and boot space is amazing. (you could hide a cow in the boot)
Unfortunately I'm having to sell mine because I need a van/estate for work I will be very very sad to see it go.
If your thinking of buying one then go for it, change the oil and filter every 3000 miles and it will never let you down just stay away from the main dealers they're no help at all.
