What Car? says
For Roomy, reliable, cheap to run and well equipped
Against Firm ride and bland styling
Verdict
A practical, sporty family car in a plain wrapper
Go for… 2.0 petrol in SE/Sport
Avoid… 1.6 petrol and 2.0 TD
- 1. It's generally reliable, but electrical problems and suspension failures are possible
- 2. Saloon is only a little less cash than a hatch, so we'd spend the extra on a more practical hatchback instead
- 3. SE trim is the one to go for. S spec cars are okay, but entry-level E models lack too much kit
- 4. 138bhp 2.0-litre petrol is the best all-round engine. Avoid the slow 1.6-litre
- 5. The Primera is cheap to buy, cheap to service and, if it goes wrong, cheap to repair
