Nissan Primera Hatchback (1990 - 1996) 2.0i SLX 5d (1996/N) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I dont think anyone will notice the car, its a tad bland.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

To polite, I think the neighbors are eying it up for spares.

Would you buy this car again and why?

No, but having said that I would recommend it for anyone on a budget who needs a sturdy (reliable when maintained) car. I bought a fiesta for the same price.. and I have to say the Primera wins hands down on everything bar economy.

What are you likely to buy next?

A Volvo T5 I think, or Saab 95 Aero.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£400

When did you buy the car?

October 2005

Did you get a good deal and why?

Well 400 quid is good value for a good working car with 86,000 on the clock. I think it was about its money.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Needed a cheep run around

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Not to shabby, I would say average acceleration.. Better than your average fiesta and slower than your average BMW. Don't expect big thrills this car wont put a smile on your face like others I have driven, but there is enough power there for your average day out. She will under-steer but saying that feels quite solid to drive, and is quite comfortable. Motorways are OK too.

What's it like to park?

easy, power steering helps

Have you had any problems with the car?

she has been really reliable until quite recently, mainly rust on the front of the exhaust, the handbrake, and the battery is now giving up the ghost. But all minor problems to fix.

What's most practical about your car?

Its spacious, and has a reasonable sized boot. and is not to hungry on fuel for a 2.0

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

for an old banger she is quite well equipped.. I like the automatic aerial, electric windows all around, power steering, electric mirrors.
