82Nissan Primera (new)80.98%
The story of the British-built Primera is sad. Its bold looks inside and out grabbed the headlines at launch, but flaws soon emerged. After a disappointing 67th place last year, the Nissan has slipped to 82nd in 2007. You rate its practicality, but not much else. Thirsty petrol engines give a low running costs score, while the central dials haven't made it easy to drive. With production just ended and no replacement in sight, it's time for the Primera to bow out before it falls further down the chart.
Your Quotes
“Quite acceptable mode of transport, purchased at a very attractive price.”
Amanda Sutton - Surrey“Good honest reliable car that I've had for nine years the build quality is second to non.”
Mr Steve Jones - Lancs“Very comfortable nice to drive. Handling could possibly be a little better. Good fuel comnsumption for size of car.”
Mr Paulk Drage - Lincs“The electrics on this car are very poor. Appalling RF shielding means that the brake system can be heard through the radio and the electrical failure was down to the earth line corroding through, a very easily prevented problem.”
Mr Jeff Quantrill – Leamington Spa“The car has been excellent. The ride is much improved over the earlier version. I am surprised it is not more popular.”
Mr Harry Thacker - Lancs“A typical Nissan really. Faults never seem to be fixed first time but that is more because of the main dealer. A good workhorse but if I had my choice I would have a Peugeot 406 or better.”
Mr Andrew Woodman – South Glamorgan
