Nissan Primera Saloon 1999

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Novice button pushers will like this, and with security features a bargain. But do Haggle more with the salesman. I wish it would have electric seats, I find knobs a pain.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Going from a diesel to petrol again noticed the running costs (doing about 500 miles a week). But reliability hopes to prove to be cost effective.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Only owning 3 cars, and driving 5 this is the best so far, just not impressed when I've gone the wrong way and need to turn around.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Well it's no GTi, but it does ok for a tank on wheels. Fourth gear seems to be useless.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    No problems so far mechanically. Only the stereo is crap, and the multichanger was replaced.

    Image

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I like the saloon wannabe coupe image it promotes. I can look Great from some angles, and poor from other angles. Hidden exhaust and colour coded almost everthing. Only looks good in sporty colours, otherwise all angles look bad. Any green looks crap.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Plenty of space is always a neccesity for me, in which this does ok, but the seats are a little harder than I like.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Well it seems to have good security features, not had them tested thank the Lord! The extra security touch on the remote locking can get annoying.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    If service is always like this from a main dealer, then I will always buy from one.
