Check out this Primera Wagon for Sale in NZ. Its got a VVC engine, 190 HP. This would be the ultimate Primera! Shame its done 109,000 km's!
What do you guys think of a CVT transmission. Are they as good as a manual?

CVT is fricken cool, my mum bought a 2000 Primera Wagon 6 spd tiptronic and it goes damn well for an auto. The tiptronic is awesome and when in auto the CVT transmission makes the gear changes so smooth you can't even feel it. She got it ex demo 22,000km for $27,000 from a Nissan dealership. I was really impressed when i drove it.

Its the Variable Valve timing engine that we should be talking about. Its got 190HP!
