Good Points
Well equipped. Well placed facia. Good accelaration.
Bad Points
Uneconomical and the performance against the alleged government figures is appalling. Seating is uncomfortable for long journeys and vision is affected in bright sunlight by a reflection from the dashboard.
General Comments
My previous cars were Peugeot 406 and I chose the Nissan Primera Dci Se D 2.2 Hatchback Family Car believing it to be a good new car with excellent fuel economy. What a joke, Nissan were not interested in my complaints citing my driving style as the problem, despite having achieved over 55mpg from my Peugeots.
All in all a prize Turkey backed by very poor customer care from Nissan (including their president Carlos Goshen).

If the car has (quote)"good accelaration", why is the performance rating zero!

Just sold my Primera dCi after 12months and fortunately had little trouble selling it for a reasonable price. I never found that the fuel consumption was as good as my previous VW Passats - but towards the end, at 55K miles, I was regularly averaging 44mpg overall and normally over 50mpg on the m/way holding around 75mph. I'm not exactly famous for being a "steady" driver (quite the reverse!)- being somewhat impatient and also believing that modern cars need driving quite hard to get the best out of them. I understand that the earlier "TD" cars are significantly less economical and powerful and it seems that some "dCi" Primeras are troublesome in the EM and injection systems - particularly diesel pumps.

I must agree this car is only capable of 42 mpg with very gentle driving ! ie 70mph on mways and gentle A /B roads.
<br>The gov figures are overstated and all Nissan say is its a 2.2 and you have a lead boot !
<br>
<br>next car is a peugot diesel they do 45-50 quite easily. not looking fwd to resale time !

Because the rest of the performance is poor and the fuel consumption(diesel) is abysmal. The best I have ever had from it is 42 mpg and that was driving at a steady 50mph on a motorway. As previously stated, I used to average 55 mpg with my Peugeots (three different cars) so in my opinion Nissan have either misled me or there is something wrong with the car. They claim the car is fine and say its my driving, a comment which is total claptrap.

<br>Nissan won't accept their responsibility for the car underperforming against their stated figures and so I stand by my original marking.
