Written on: 29/05/2009 by happyjapbuyer (1 review written)

After selling my Nissan Terrano due to Mr Browns stupid save the planet ideas and road tax increases i bought a Primera 2.2 tdi. 2002 48,000mls and mint condition for just 3k. What a good buy it was. excellent tow car for my large caravan and the reverse camera is fantastic as an aid to coupling up to the caravan. 48mpg average and a fantastic 31mpg when towing around France with the air-con on as well !!

Written on: 19/06/2008

Bought my 52 plate Nissan Primera 2.2 Td 135bhp about 3 and a half years ago, and it's been an absalute gem, I would never buy anything other jap cars now, had two frnch cars that were horrible, had a Mazda 323 that brilliant and now my primera is a great family car, big boot, back seat planty big enough, stylish front dash board, loads of boys toys fitted like electric seats and sat nav etc. Go on buy one you know you want. At least take one for a test drive. (read more)

Written on: 11/12/2007 by mike83 (1 review written)

I have been a Ford driver for years but after shopping around and realising that they are now far too expensive for the kit you have, I thought I'd test drive the Primera.
As soon as you sit in it the quality easily outshines Ford's Mondeo and Focus Ghia. The dash is futuristic but also practical, not like the foolish gimmicky touches adopted by Renault (see the new Megane's handbrake).
The 2.2 diesel is the pick of the bunch in the engine dept, easily outstripping most 2.0 petrols. The... (read more)

“In recently achieved 62.9 miles to the gallon...”

Written on: 27/10/2006 by Rasul (1 review written)

In recently achieved 62.9 miles to the gallon (Birmingham to Manchester) with my Nissan Primera Dci Se D 2.2 Hatchback, which is good for 2.2 litre engine. Brilliant SAt-Nav (standard), very roomy and easy to handle. Impressed with low insurance and £135.00 tax band for year. So much to offer. Price band too good to believe. Currently have a 2004 model- can't wait to upgrade to another Primera! Why has it been a secret car for so long? (read more)

Written on: 03/04/2005 by bagpipes

I have driven Volkswagen for 6 years with major quality issues toward the end that Volkswagen first of all couldn't then didn't want to fix and finally ignored without offering a solution.
Decided to go for any japanese and the decision was a Nissan Primera Dci Se D 2.2 Hatchback. I can't find anything wrong with this car. Some aspects might need to get used to (stereo control) and other could or have already been improved (suspension). This car is very powerful at low consumption (average... (read more)

“Nissan Primera Dci SVE D 2.2 Hatchback Family Car Review”

Nissan Primera Dci SVE D 2.2 Hatchback Family Car Review
Why is it everyone would kill for a 350Z Nissan or a Skyline, yet ignore the Primera? The Primera is the best kept secret around, offering more in terms of equipment for your money than anything else on the UK market. The SVE model I tested for 4 months and 9,000 miles performed faultlesly. Whilst you relax in the full leather, heated and electric seats and plan your route using the fantastic 7" colour screen Satellite Navigation,... (read more)

Written on: 04/12/2004 by Mike the Red (1 review written)

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). (read more)

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

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

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 !

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.

Written on: 24/11/2004 by richard40 (2 reviews written)

My last three cars have been 2 VW Passats-Sport 115PD TDI,and a BMW 320d(150hp).The Nissan Primera Dci Se D 2.2 Hatchback Family Car is a distinctly better car than the Passat (better engine/ride/handling) although it doesn't quite have the "hewn from the solid" feel of the VW! The BMW was poorly built and unreliable but had a wonderful engine and was also ludicrously overpriced.
The Primera's qualities are something of a mix of both-but secondhand, is a fraction of the price of the other... (read more)
