1999 Nissan Primera Sport+ from UK and Ireland - Comments

Central door locking actuator became noisy, replaced under warranty.

Looks elegant and distinctive, but quite colour sensitive - silver, red, light blue metallic are OK, dark colours kill the looks.

Very well equipped, even has gas discharge xenon headlamps as standard.

Handling is fantastic, steering very responsive and nicely weighted. Ride is firm around town but the car is wonderfully surefooted when flying down country roads. Inspired enormous confidence, much better than other vehicles of this size eg. Avensis, Vectra.

Engine performance is OK, but not actually better than other 2.0 vehicles. The time is made up in the bends!

Build quality and the feeling of durability is good, I have friends with old Primeras which have 100,000 plus mile on them and they're good, which is reassuring.

Braking performance is also superb, with brake assist as standard.

Seats are very supportive and grip well.

Overall, a separate and distinctive choice which is great fun to drive and well engineered, but discreet enough to avoid plod's attention.

Excellent value nearly new with the 3 year warranty.

My Primera sport+ is silver and 4 door with cvt6. It's a superb car. Reliable and so different to drive. Perfect in automatic and lethal in 3rd gear (no clutch).

It's the best vehicle I've owned. Well done Nissan!

I agree that this is an excellent car to own and drive, whether it's doing the slow plod off to drop the children at school or whether it is out on the open winding roads.

The CVT automatic is pleasant, smooth and sedate when driven gently, but can give a quick response when needed, however knock the lever over into tiptronic manual and the car takes on a whole new personality - very quick and responsive, quick through the close ration six-speed tiptronic gearbox and extremely nimble and surefooted on the bends.

The looks of this car are more subtle than "boy racer", so it is only if you know your Nissans that you will realise you are looking at a wolf in sheep's clothing.

This is definitely a driver's car.

I have just recently purchased a 99 primera sport+ in flame red. What a great drivers car this is, with great pulling power through out the rev range, but especially

above 4000rpm, when this car really comes into its own.

The cars handling is better than anything I've tried in

its class, which inspires confidence on those windy country roads. I think the car looks great especially in the flame red all colour coded with the 16"alloys, yes I can honestly

say I haven't been able too wipe the smile of my face ever

since getting this car, and with 42000miles, fsh &1 previous

owner, iam hopeing for many more Happy miles.

I got my primera sport+ estate last October and I'm still smilling. its in silver was one company owner driver done 96000 miles and drives fantastic.

I was always into large engined cars because I like the over taking power of v6/v8s, but I have to admit this car is every bit as much fun as anything else I've driven.

I would recommend one to anyone and don't be put off by high millage just make sure its been serviced and you to will join the primera sport smile high club.

Last words buy and enjoy... A Benson.
