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 ...

...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 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' ...

...replace the mundane sunny and nissan managed to make another souless car. Unremarkable in looks the word bland seems to follow the word nissan around. Interior typically japaneese of cheap and nasty plastic. Sony casstte player which has a stalk on the steering wheel. Why? you still have to take your hand off the wheel to fiddle with the volume. Engine is underpowered compared to rivals like rovers 1.4 engine. Oh yeah reliability. but this is a quality ...
