Car Review Nissan Primera Wagon

Roof line is just charm
The Nissan Primera Wagon car is a very beautiful station wagon. Like the sedan, he is all of himself athletic addition, gives the impression of a high -class car for adults who feel that they still have everything ahead. A genuine charm gives this car describing the correct arc and the roof line slightly back. Definitely, the designers, not wanting to spoil this line with a spoiler, laid the heading the roofs inward. However, in the list of accessories you will not find this detail of the external decoration. I believe that this already shows how much the designers of this car have a sense of beautiful.
The efforts of the designer are manifested in one more details of the external finish. Well, how can you not notice the wiper of the rear window! The brush of this wiper is designed specifically for this car and, if you apply hyperbole, there is already something by itself. If you use a standard brush here, it would cost cheaper. And it would seem, why was it necessary to spend money on a special brush? Yes, therefore, it is likely that everyone can understand: any detail, including the brush, should be an element of design.
And indeed, if a standard brush was used in this place, familiar in shape, the elegantly rounded back of Primera Wagon would have become somewhat rude. If this happened in the past, Nissan, in spite of everything, would put economic expediency at the forefront, and would put a simple brush. But Nissan is not the same. For example, it would seem that some kind of wiper brush is in a common car layout? So, a trifle. However, this trifle is the essence of the underput, because what's the matter. Looking at this detail of the finish, I finally realized that the Nissan company really fundamentally changed its idea of \u200b\u200bhow to make cars.
 
Due to the extension of the body by 110 mm, cargo capacity was increased
The previous model of the Primera station wagon had the same sizes as the sedan. In the new model, to increase cargo capacity, the manufacturer stretched the rear console by 110 millimeters. This, by the way, is regretted, because the car began to look a little long on the side.
The roof line descending down and the inclined opening of the rear door were completely not superfluous. After all, it was thanks to this design decision that the cargo compartment of the cabin, despite the 110 millimeter lengthening, retained the appearance of previous proportions. And if so, then even Europeans, very picky, when it comes to cargo capacity of the car, will probably react to this innovation favorably.
The inner salon has become very spacious. It is especially worth noting a place for armrests. Probably, the installation of third size armrests in the salon will cause conflicting assessments. But indeed, a decent distance appeared between the body sitting in the car and doors. Therefore, in order to make the elbows to dilute the elbow, and the 3rd size of the armrests was chosen with comfort. Naturally, more free space appeared for the legs. Even if there are 4 adult men in the car, there is no tightness.
There is no feeling of disharmony when looking at the instrument shield. The CRT display and horizontally located switches, arranged in a new way, are especially noteworthy.
 
Given the price, a 2-liter engine is preferable
A motor with a working volume of 2 liters and 2.5 liters can be installed on the car. I tried to drive on a two -liter (with a variator) model. With sharp increase in speed on the high -speed highway and overtaking on the lifts, the noise in the engine did not increase. In other words, there was a regular work inherent in vehicles equipped with a lack of transmission, but the powerful characteristics were in excess of expectation. Not at the level when it seems that it is no longer necessary, but it is enough to drive a car at a decent speed in a sports manner. It seemed to me that a 2-liter motor is enough for a personal car. And taking into account the difference in price, only a 2 liter engine is definitely recommended.
The car installed 16 inch wheels. Riding on such wheels in terms of comfort is quite rigid, but this is not the sharpness inherent in 17 inch tires. Most likely, this can be defined as a pleasant stiffness that can fully satisfy the needs of drivers who are accustomed to driving in the cars of the Primera series.
The steering wheel is light. Maneuverability is quite high, adjusting the steering mechanism and its ability to hold the machine in turns also deserves a flattering assessment.
Of course, this is far from a cheap model. But judging by the impression that the internal and external decoration of the car makes by how well it is controlled, the new car from the Primera series, namely Primera Wagon, is a rather high class machine.
