to be honest lazlow i don't know too much about it. all i know is my previous car went bang (it was a rover after all) and i fancied a car that was quicker than the 1.6 that i had. saw the primera and figured it wasn't bad. got it for 250 quid it's done less than 100k it's a p plate, 3 previous owners. didn't have alloys but i got them cheap too. i think they're quite reliable coz they're jap and everyone i know says jap motors are normally pretty good (civics and so on)
so to be honest i got it coz i'm only 21, it's 2.0 engine, low ish insurance and not the typical boy racer cars so fancied something different.
fingers crossed tho eh !!!
