Faults:

Nothing so far.

General Comments:

The 6-speed Tiptronic gearbox is a really great touch. Use it when you don't want to just cruise around in auto-mode.

Xenon headlights are fantastic. You really see the difference in the dark. Your forward view is whitish as oppose to yellow.

16 inch alloys look the part. I've got Continental Super Contacts (205/50/16) fitted to them. This car sticks to the road no matter what you throw at it.

The ride is firm, but the suspension still soaks up the bumps well. It's the Sport Plus so is set firmer than all the other Primeras.

The cabin is very luxurious. The seats are beautiful half leather and hug your body (!!) White dials, leather gear knob and steering wheel also come as standard. You also get an anti-hijack feature, NATS system, headlamp washers, computer system, 3 rear head rests, electric sunroof, electric windows all round, front and side airbags, climate control and a Clarion 6-cd changer, 10 speaker sound system. You get a lot of car for your cash.

Faults:

Alternator bearing started to whine at 25k and three weeks after warranty finished. Alternator replaced and two thirds of the cost paid for by Nissan UK.

Carpets are bad quality with a hole on drivers foot-well after 30k.

General Comments:

Ultra reliable, feels solid and safe to drive, fantastic handling and brakes. Could do with bit more power, but manages to return up-wards of 40 mpg on a run, with 30+mpg achievable in town.

Faults:

Leaky fuel tank, requiring 3 trips to the dealer.

General Comments:

The estate is versatile and the reversible tray in the boot is a great feature. Wipe-clean leather seats are great for careless kids too.

Although it only has 135BHP the engine is very rewarding when you hit 4,000 revs and it delivers its power with a howl that you wouldn't expect from a family estate car. I think the acceleration has also surprised a few other drivers in the last few months.

Faults:

Not really had car long, but seems to be in really good condition.

Gear stick can vibrate when engaging clutch and at certain RPMS.

General Comments:

I have to admit I am a bit of a Primera freak its our 3rd one and loved every one of them. I really like the look of this car it has full leather seats and air con and is really good to drive. the chassis feels really tight and steering very accurate with loads of feel. I had two of the previous models P10 2.0eGT. This model seems to be easier to drive, but slightly slower, but not much, although it is a lot better.

Faults:

Paint peeling from alloy wheels.

Creaking from driver's seat.

Poor performance from air conditioning.

General Comments:

Crisp, clean, vice-free handling. The first car I've owned that's had more bottle than me!

Unusually for a front wheel drive, the rear tends to break away first. Cool! A front wheel drive with the characteristics of a rear wheel drive!

Excellent economy from a performance saloon (40+ miles per gallon).

Great styling, although the front suspension could be lowered by 40mm or so.

Stunning performance from the 155 horsepower power unit, sending this silverfish to an indicated 152 MPH (actual speed 140 by Global Positioning System speedo).
