Nissan Almera

It Even Has A Hook To Hang Your Curry

Advantages: A real looker. Excellent economy, reliability, and value for money.
Disadvantages: Not a whole lot. Maybe a wee bit slow.

THE ALL NEW NISSAN ALMERA ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Introduction ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Here’s an amazing fact for you. Even at the end of the production run of the old model Nissan Almera, it lay in a highly creditable fourth place in its particular segment of the car market here in Ireland, only being outsold by Ford’s top selling Focus, the Opel Astra, (Vauxhall in the UK) and the Toyota Corolla, all of which were far newer models, thus ...
...~ The all new model Nissan Almera offers buyers no fewer than three distinct body styles, each one of them both ultra-modern and very sporty, and each designed in their own way to appeal to different segments of the market. The new grille forms the mainstay of the new design concept, and this allied to the sweeping and sleek body contours, that rise from the front of the car and flow smoothly towards the rear, gives it its new and distinctly sporty ...

Review of Nissan Almera 1.4

Drive in Style, or at least I think so

Advantages: Those little extras that give it individuality
Disadvantages: Getting parts for it

...it. My car is a Nissan Almera 1.6 SLX. It's a 1996 P reg so it isn't the same as the new shape ones you see on the road but I feel that it was one of the best buys when I got it. I bought it nearly 3 years ago for a discount price of £4,999 which I thought was quite good and had it properly valeted before I went to collect it. Although I said that I'd never buy a white car (due to them attracting dirt) guess what colour it was! I just fell in love ...
...THE DRIVE = Now I'm sure not every car is identical in noise, etc so this opinion is from my experience of my car. It never has had a noisy engine, and seems to purr more than anything. It has always given me a smooth drive and will take me from A to B with ease. It is also excellent at accelerating with its 1.6 16 valve engine and I can guarantee that whenever I want to overtake anything I can slip down a gear or two and put my foot on ...

Review of Nissan Almera 1.6

Not bad, not exceptional...

Advantages: Reliability, strong engine, comfort, handling
Disadvantages: Looks, not the fastest car on the planet...

...not the worst. And Nissan have some of the best deals around. I bought this as my first ever car, mainly tempted by the Nissan 3-2-1 deal that was being offered. I received 2 years free insurance from Privilege Insurance, and a years free servicing at a Main Dealer included in the package, a saving of around £4000 for me as an 18 year old. I will post about the insurance in the relevant section later. So what about the car? Well, the styling is ...
...given the big wheel arches Nissan have blessed the Almera with, and even when I added 17" alloys and lowered the car, they still only looked like stock 15s... Talking of the suspension, it lends itself to the Almera's strongest selling point to the younger driver, it's handling. For such a long car you can drive the Almera remarkably hard. I often took mine down the country roads around the coastal area of Tyne and Wear (notably the 'Beehive Road' ...

Review of Nissan Almera 1.4

Over designed

Advantages: handy holdall
Disadvantages: not a class leader

The Nissan entrant in the Focus class has recently been largely revised and the bland and inoffensive looks have been redesigned to give the car a curious and rather aggressive stance on the road from the front, though from the side the rear looks a little odd. In an attempt to rival the Focus' cleaver packaging the designers have provided storage specific to everything the average family is perceived to carry - cups, briefcases, umbrellas and sunglasses ...
...whole effect to be a little too over organized for my liking. The enging and handling are more than acceptable - but if Nissan really wanted to lead this class and rival the Focus they should have started with a clean sheet of paper rather than re-invent the old car. ...
