See.. I believed people like him when they originally said that.. And I'd like to thank them for 2 years of the dreariest motoring ever!!!

If the new one rolls any more than the old one I'd turn it over every time I went round a roundabout..

CarZee - I had one too .... 2.0 SGX on a K plate if my memory serves me right ..... I quite enjoyed it, it was dreary inside but handled really well for a front driver!

Mind you, I had a 2.0 Sierra estate before that so it would feel like it handled well, wouldn't it????

Bl**dy hell, got me thinking about what I have driven over the years .... Spooky

I quite like the look of the new nissan good dash! What I'm still laughing about is the article on sad tossers who spend 30 odd K on a saxo.....haha very nice NOT.
Just think for that cash they could have bought a saxo and a second hand cerbera! Tossers.

Anyway I'd better go, I'm just off out in my 40k modified 2cv to pick one of the LeMans winning GT40s at an auction, I expect I'll pay about 7 pence for it.

For Primera, read, Primera GT, there is a big difference . GTs are superb , very little body roll , a rough ride but great finesse , You just can't quite love em , that is the only real fault . Love the new shape though , hope they do a propper GT version could be a corker
