2001 Nissan Almera SE review from UK and Ireland
"An excellent, well developed car which should meet most needs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a rattle from the small storage pocket to the right of the steering wheel. It only occurs on cold mornings and can't be fixed...
Other than that, it's been completely reliable and hasn't missed a beat.
General comments?
It's very comfortable, very enjoyable to drive with good handling and stability.
Passengers comment on how comfortable it is.
Its only fault is that a lot of heat seems to leak in to the passenger compartment from the engine bay which makes it uncomfortable in warmer weather. Air conditioning would help.
The central locking is a bit noisy.
The carpet in the front foot wells gives the impression of being a little too large for the car - it feels as though it was lifted and not replaced properly.
The engine could do with a little more power.
Apart from these issues it's a very good car - I'm very happy with it and would buy another one without hesitation. It feels like a car built by people who enjoy driving and who have taken the time to make the driving environment more comfortable and pleasant.
