Nissan Primera Estate 1999

  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fantastic bargains to be had second hand.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    All it's needed is an oil change & two new tyres. Dealer servicing costs seem reasonable but you're held to ransom with spares prices. I get about 33mpg to work, long runs about 38mpg driving gently

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very good, great round the corners but a pain when setting off on slippery roads - with no traction control it's very easy to spin the front wheels! Xenon headlights light the way but other drivers are constantly flashing headbeam at you.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Certainly the best performing vehicle I've owned.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    It's a Nissan. They don't go wrong.

    I like it and it doesn't advertise it's sport's quality (apart from on the badge) which I think is a good thing. It's nice to have something different as you don't see many sport+ estates around.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Seats are comfortable and there's plenty of room even with five in. With climate control, 6 CD changer, electric sunroof, electric windows all round, onboard computer and loads of gadgets you're only left wondering why traction control was left out.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    With Nissan NATS and factory fitted alarm I don't think it's going to go far!

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not dealt with servicing from dealers as I do it myself. Parts seem expensive but maybe I'm living in the past. (New Remote key + programming into NATS system cost me £145.)
