This car is my second Primera and if they still made it I would buy another new. It is fully loaded with cruise, auto wipers, leather, tyre pressure monitoring, automatic climate, satnav with subscription free traffic, colour reversing camera and loads more. The cabin is massive and it's the first car I've owned when if someone gets in the back I haven't needed to move the seat forward and I'm almost 6' My local dealer provides excellent service from a menu so costs are advised before the work is done and in between services I do absolutely nothing as it uses no oil or water. It's been totally reliable and a pleasure to drive, my wife also likes it for the camera when doing the supermarket sweep. It just eats motorway miles once on cruise, and the radio has speed sensitive volume for the 6 disk radio unit. At night the xenon lighting is superb when compared to the Audi A4's I've owned in the past.
There are one or two gripes though, It's not that economical averaging around 35 in town and 43 at distance, on the computer, and the controls take some getting used to when using the multi function display for the satnav, radio or climate depending which buttons you press. Another big problem is in low sun conditions when dash reflection in the windscreen makes driving difficult. Otherwise perfect.
