1997 Nissan Almera Reviews - Page 4 of 4

A gearbox spring needed replacing after 38,000 miles.

An excellent very underrated car. The engine is very flexible with good power across the rev range, particularly after 5000 RPM when it really takes off!

The handling is outstanding, very little body, excellent feedback through the well-balanced steering. The brakes also have great feedback and are very effective.

The interior is not as bad as people make out, the dials are superb and the cabin well laid out. The materials are harder than those in say a Golf, but it has better handling and performance which is much more desirable!

Some are not keen on the way the car looks, but I have found it attracts more praise than criticism. I also find it to be an attractive and subtlety styled car with good proportions.

Blower of the heating broke down.

Fast.

Handling is superb.

The clutch is a little too light for the performance of the engine.

None, sqeaks a bit.

Knob has fallen off the stereo.

This is THE most boring car in the world.

I would trade it in for almost any other car of equal value.

Old people should be the only ones it's available to.

Nothing.

I've done huge mileages in this car and nothing has gone wrong with it. It's comfortable, responsive and well worth £7,000. the perfect second hand car.

Nothing.

Not quite as fast as some of the other hot hatches, but superb handling and good brakes. Seats not quite entirely comfortable.

Nothing so far.

Misses the 7500rpm redline of the old Sunny model.

Idle speed to low. Dealer increased base idle speed. Squeaks on back door trim.

Lights too dim when driving in unlit areas (especially in rain). Cheap to run (good fuel economy - 43mpg on combined cycle 30mpg in town).

Nothing.

It rocks! (not literally of course!)

The styling of the back end is an acquired taste.

Great value, good performance.

Shares the same steering wheel as a 200SX and a Skyline GT-R!

Not too hot on fuel consumption, but, all-round, a very nice little motor.
