1994 Nissan Primera 2.0e GT review from UK and Ireland

Had to replace the spark plugs, leads, and distributor cap when I bought the car.

Cracked windscreen, this seems to be a really common fault.

I've only owned the car for a week and have only covered 500 miles so can't really comment on reliability of this model.

Driving experience of the car is fantastic, particularly for a car that's 12 years old now, handling is amazing, my last car was a micra, but I've driven a lot of newer cars that don't handle nearly as well as this.

Lots of equipment including 4x electric windows, electric ariel, 6 disc CD changer, remote central locking, alarm, immobiliser and alloy wheels.

Performance is pretty good, doesn't feel as quick as it is, I thought 150bhp would give a bit more of a shove in the back than it does, very pleased with it none the less particularly since I paid £900 for a 1 owner from new full service history 70,000 mile car!

I did have a slight misfire when idling, but this was corrected by changing the plugs, leads, rotor arm and distributor cap.

The insurance group of 15 is a little steep though, I have 9 years no claims, and an advanced driving licence and I'm 31 years old, I'm paying £250 fully comprehensive.

I find the leather seats very comfortable and supportive, although it probably takes time to get used to the hard ride from the sports suspension, although I like it!

I would definitely recommend this car if you're after a spacious, reliable (based on previous Nissan), fast cheap car.

Take your time when looking and you should be able to find a good one.
