2001 Nissan Almera SE+ review from UK and Ireland
"A high value low cost gem of a car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Noisy door locking solenoid at 20000 miles.
General comments?
This is the first car I have ever owned on which everything works as it is meant to.
Unlike all my previous cars except one this car does not leak.
The car has every accessory that a reasonable owner could possibly want and this for considerably less money than its competitors.
The driving position is perfect and has never given me backache.
It behaves impeccably in town.
On the motorway it goes like a rocket and is almost completely unaffected by strong winds.
The doors open very widely and my disabled father in law has no problems getting in and out of it unlike my brother in law's German limousine.
I cannot understand why these cars get such a poor press.
I intend to keep mine until it or I fall to bits.
