Nissan Primera 1.8 16v Saloon

Introduction I don't personally drive the Nissan Primera, my husband does! So this review is mainly written from a front seat passenger perspective! I have asked my husband several questions about the Nissan Primera and have tried to add some technical opinions and findings of the Nissan Primera. I brought the Nissan Primera (2006 registration, 1.8L, Manual, with 5 seats) from a used car show room called Glynn Hopkin Nissan in Leyton (London). Glynn Hopkin sells approved used cars and the branch in Leyton, specifically sells used Nissan Cars. The car was second hand and was brought in ... more

~ ~ Now and again when I’m wearing my ‘journalist’ hat, I get to borrow a new car for a few days when I’m planning to write a review on it. I’d been waiting for quite a while to get my hands on the latest model Primera from Japanese car manufacturers Nissan, which was released here in Ireland in the early spring of this year. (2002) We’ve owned an earlier model 1.8-litre Primera as our family car for about the past three and a half years, and I also run a Nissan Bluebird Executive as my taxi, so it would be fair to say that I’m a big Nissan fan, as the ... more

The picture Ciao has supplied is of a Renault Modus but the review & picture I have supplied is of the Nissan Primera.

It was little surprise that Ford used the Primera as a 'bench mark' for their new Mondeo which was introduced a couple of years later. The original Primera was lovely to drive, smooth & ... more

This will be not so much a full review as a first impression of the new Nissan Primeras. Having been a Nissan Primera driver for some years, latest being a 1.6 sri I was lucky enough to be invited to our local Dixons dealership for the launch of the new Primeras last month & more importantly this included an all expenses paid trip to Oulton Park Race Circuit to drive the new cars. So I will try to give an unbiased opinion which should not be too hard because the new Nissans are a total departure from your average box on wheels. Let's start with my first impressions on the launch night. Cue ... more

As I have been hiring cars over the past year I have had a lot of time to compare dfferent models in this sector. I have been driving the New Primera for two weeks now having previously driven a Mondeo and Honda Accord. Ill give a comparison at the end. Exteriror Styling To be honest the exterior styling isnt really to my taste. It looks kind of big and bulky and a little too much like a concept car. This is really a subjective thing though does have an impact on rear visibility. I was driving the base 1.8 model so no rear view camera and without it parking is tricky. The rear window is very ... more
