1992 Nissan Primera T4 2.0 petrol from Australia and New Zealand
Summary:
A superb drivers car
General Comments:
This car handles superbly, very stable under hard braking, comparatively stiff suspension setup gives superb feedback and predictability through corners, although it can be a bit harsh in city driving conditions.
Engine is strong and pulls well, in-gear acceleration (particularly above 3000 revs) is excellent. It will go off the clock (180Km/h in mine) with ease and gets there pretty quick too!
My car was imported from Japan, so I am suspicious about the odometer reading, however the car is in such excellent condition, it is most likely true.
The T4 is 4WD, so from a standing start the initial acceleration isn't as good as some other models, but the overall handling more than makes up for it. The T4 also has Recaro trim on the seats and door panels, plus more supportive seats than the other models.
Very comfortable on long trips.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

You have supplied the answer to a question I have been wanting answered for a while now. I drive a humble Primera P10 SRi and have always thought that the steering wheel was too big and that the steering rack was too slow. I was hoping that the eGT would have had a smaller steering wheel and a quicker rack, but alas, it seems not to be the case.
How do you find the steering "feel" through corners and in a straight line? I find the straight line a little dead but it loads up nicely in the quicker turns... Do the wider tyres make a difference?
One last question, how noisy is the engine on the eGT? I find the SRi to be fairly obtrusive with a lot of road noise - I can live with it though.
