I've been a driver for 25 years (started out on motorcycles) and have always been advised to buy Japanese cars. I've had a Toyota Camry and a Honda Accord before and found them fairly reliable, no worse than any other car I've had.

I bought a 13-year-old Primera 1.8 SX (P12) in June from a senior chap who'd had it from new.  Nice, clean car but has had a few expensive faults. Not least was the driver door window mechanism failing. The window fell in and the replacement was £500. The window still fell in after that so it's being sorted again. I suspect the mechanic didn't attach the glass to the regulator. Numpty didn't replace the dashboard/indicator fuse after the first repair, so I was rather suspicious of their work.

Other than that, I very much like the car, it's quirky styling, it's nippy handling and it's good acceleration from junctions etc.  Looking forward to lots of help and advice from the OC.

Cheers
Sam

Hey Sam and a big welcome to NPOC :)

I've just changed your topic title in the other section from:

"Buzzing from rear while car is moving"

to:

"Nissan Primera P12 Noise at rear when car's moving"

Normally we'd delete the topic because the title is incorrect but as a newbie (and I have a soft spot for fellow bikers too!), I've cut you some slack and sorted the problem :) Please always start your topic titles in the main section with "Nissan Primera P12...." and you'll be fine from there.

Many thanks and take care,
Shaun
