Faults:

Rear shocks worn out - very expensive to replace on the 4WD model. Nissan genuine parts very expensive and no after market parts available in New Zealand.

General Comments:

Very reliable car, ideal for touring and great for ski-field roads (icy) and gravel roads.

The T4, while a 110kW (150hp) motor, lacks the punch of the 2WD Primeras and uses considerably more gas (approx 9-11km/l = 25-30mpg).

Car handles like a dream due to great independent suspension on all four corners, but the side effect of such rigid suspension is a very hard ride and rapid tyre wear.
