    4 Stars Nissan Primera, a locking and unlocking champion, and cage figher 20/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Locks and Unlocks Well, Cheap to buy, HANDLING!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dull, Probably goes to whist drives, locking key fob batteries wear out quickly.....

    I've always been a fan of Japanese engineering, having **just** been around to witness Micra's jumping into life when Fiesta's just grunted, rolled over and went back to sleep on a cold winters morning. I've always praised Japanese engineering from afar, without actually wanting to get overly involved with it. Kinda like "the girl" in the pub, you want to go and chat with her, but you can't help thinking that maybe your dreams will be shattered when you get her home. My brother bought, (well, had thrust upon him,) a Nissan Primera 1.6 16v (1997 vintage,) which I have now driven for some ... more

    4 Stars Nissan Primera - a drivers car 12/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Reliable, comfortable, driving pleasure,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Rather bland exterior, (sometimes) high service costs

    Since my wife converted me from Vauxhall to Nissan circa 1993, I have never bought (or even considered) buying anything but a Nissan. I purchased my S-reg Nissan Primera 1.6GX A/C 5 door hatchback in Jan 2000 to replace my P-reg Almera, as I needed a bigger car having 2 young children. The car has proved to be extremely reliable and a through joy to drive. As part of the role (I work as an IT consultant), I often have to travel around the country. The company I work for provides hire cars rather than company cars so during my time, I have driven Peugeot 306 & 406, Rover 400, Vauxhall Astra & ... more

    4 Stars value for money 09/08/2000
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages price, comfort. economy.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slighly underpowered.

    Have now enjoyed the Nissan Primera1.6 16v gx a/c for the past 2 years and can recommend the car as utterly reliable, economical, and comfortable. Like all durable purchases the choice was a combination of the above factors. It is used for long journeys of 5 hours or more and beats many other cars in terms of convenience and confort. The negative side for a 'driver' who enjoys motoring is a slighly underpowered engine calling for full throttle in some situations with no reserve of power. This calls for an adjustment in driving techniques and as with all cars the driver soon allows for this ... more

    3 Stars nissan primera R reg 4 door saloon 1.6 gx 02/09/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages handling, ride, interior space, gearshift, alarm immob central locking

    Disadvantages Disadvantages offensivley bland, dull interior, clutch steering quandry.

    Where to begin? Lets statrt positively. Im a big fan of the way this car handles, i have to drive several different cars of about the same age around, the model depending on the day of the week. It's always the primera i know i will actually manage to have a little fun driving around in. For a fairly large car it can be whipped around corners far faster and more enjoyably than say the equivelant vectra or mondeo. Even when its wet the car will refrain from understeer a lot longer than is expected. The ride is a little less cosseting than expected but does remain refined enough to cruise around ... more

    4 Stars Plain but reliable, with great fuel economy. 15/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great fuel economy, Ideal family car

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Plain and unstylish

    We've had a Nissan Primera (M/1994 registration) since 1995. It is the 16.LX Hatchback model. I believe this the Mk II variety. It currently has approximately 166000 miles on the clock. This truly is a most reliable vehicle. In the 12 years we have owned it, we've only encountered a few problems with it: As many say, the Nissan Primera is a bland and unstylish car, but I'm quite frankly happy to drive such a vehicle. This also has the advantage, as I suspect it's not the kind of car that thieves would want to steal with that kind of image. (Not that it would be that easy to steal with a ... more
