1996 Nissan Almera review from UK and Ireland
"Good value for money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing until after 125,000 miles.
Fluid clutch system repaired.
Power steering pump needed reconditioning.
Rear shocks replaced.
Failed emissions test first time at our national car test. Eventually just passed after using all sorts of fuel additives and smoke treatments.
General comments?
This car has served me pretty well considering it has had to stand up to fairly rough treatment, e.g. towing trailers and carrying heavy loads in the boot.
It handles well, but you certainly won't leave anyone behind you at the traffic lights.
