Primera is 2.0litres 4 cylinder, 150bhp, 200Nm of torque. 10.9 sec
century sprint.
I have seen interior of it and to me it looks rather futuristic.
Quality wise, nissan should be quite alright. You might want to
take a look in their showrooms to get a feel of it. I like the
centre console.
The reason why there are such few primera might the singaporean
mentality of "biggest car possible with the smallest engine cc
possible"(read: Cefiro, S280, S80 2.0T, 730i, etc). Also, before
the current model, cefiro 2000cc V6 engine kinda make primera an
"inferior" car. However, now, a Primera seems logical with the
dismisal of Cefiro 2000cc V6 engine.
To me (and probably nissan too), it actually capture a different
niche of market, targeting at younger buyers who do not want to be
labelled driving father's cars or driving physically big cars. It
is also more powerful too 150bhp vs Cefiro 145bhp and probably
lighter too, characteristics more desirable to younger buyer. It is
also slightly cheaper than the current 200JK Cefiro
If you like it, why bother what other think, go down to nissan
showroom, test drive and see how it goes.
