Hello from Bonnie Aberdeen

Just got my 3rd Primera a 2001 plate P11-144 1.8s in silver, 49k on the clock and drives like new.
Traded up from a 1997 P11 2.0gx in green and before that I had a 1995 P11 2.0 eGT

Guess I like Primera's lol.

I tend to do most of the servicing/repairs myself as I don't really trust garages. Just fitted new LCD bulbs in the dash and fitted the cd changer from my old P11 into the 144 :-)

My new P11-144 is probably the smoothest Primera I have had, very taught on the road and a nice punchy engine. The 1.8 has more low down torque than the 2.0 in my old primera, so much so that I was wheelspinning everywhere the first few days. The out and out grunt is not quite the same as the 2.0 but it's not that far off. The engine does have a nice growl when pushed hard, but not the 'scream' that the GT had.

I find the clutch and gearchange a lot smoother and the car is a lot quieter all round.

Some nice touches in the 144, like the stereo getting louder the faster you drive, the stereo controls on the wheel, the climate control, the curry hook thing, the arm rest in the back, cup holders etc.

As a family car that is fun to drive it's hard to beat. :-)

would help if I could spell Aberdeen lol.

The new 144 is really nice, enjoying every mile :-)

I have the sneaking suspicion that Nissans official 0-60 on the 1.8 is wrong
it feels much faster than the 10.8 seconds.

welcome dude sweet ride
