Nissan Primera Saloon 2.0 SE 4d Auto (1994/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Great car for a bargain price.
Costs
Never used a main dealer. High steet garages are resonable, although not looking forward to renewing lower front suspension ball joint as you have to replace the whole suspension arm. Also, cat is costly.

Driving
Smooth revvy engine, fanatastic road holding, very refined for its age and easy driving due to auto box.
Performance
Quick enough, even though an auto.

Living with it
Reliability
Very well built. Only minor repairs over last 4 years (tyres, exhaust, CV boots, pads) despite 88k miles on the clock. Still sounds smooth and refined.
Image
Unfortunately low image, but at least it keeps prying eyes away. SE slightly sportier styling and GT looks ok.
Comfort
Good comfort and nice ride. Well laid out and SE has a good spec. Cruise control and heated front seats (leather) are missed.

Security and Service
Security
Immobilised, but radio is the usual brick type, although it has a code. Boot can be opened from an unlocked lever inside.
Service
The Nissan garage were reluctant to fix a few minor issues when I bought the car and missed a few items on the major service it had when I got it (eg. fuel filter). Never used them since.
