2000 Nissan Primera GXE from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Slight knock from front left suspension. Will get it checked out at next service.

I wanted a car that looked refined yet sporty and wouldn't cost the earth to purchase.

I love the looks of this car, I was impressed with the quality of the finish.

The seats are really comfortable too and the car is a delight to drive.

The GXE model comes with a high degree of equipment, eg air bags, cd/tape player, 6 speaker stereo.

I like the attention to detail that Nissan puts into their cars. You can rest you hand on the transmission whilst adjusting the volume, and the petrol flap has a clip to stop the fuel cap from rolling away when re-fueling.

However, some bad points are that I find the turning circle a little wide, and performance is a little average from stop.

Also I had expected the car to perform a little better in the fuel economy department, this is not helped by the fact that 98 octane premium grade fuel is required.

Hi there I have got a 1999 Primera Gxe and after having 1 I really learned to enjoy it. it's comfortable economical (get around 650k's to a tank) and its peppy. I definitely agree they are great cars.

Hi there; my wife has a 2001 GXE.

We were told by the dealer to use 98 (octane gasoline), but on the Japanese car catalog website, it was stated to use 91. With 98, the performance was reduced and the fuel economy was poor, but with 91 the car feels better. It can do 672kms for a full tank on 91, and a shocking 451kms on 98, but it is a great car; much better than my 2004 Mondeo, which frequently has problems.
