Only one internal light bulb which is a peculiar size and can not be bought outside the dealers.
The car is totally reliable.
It is the most uncomfortable car I have ever owned.
The suspension is hard.
The seat gives me back-pain.
It is hard on petrol, especially given that the Japanese are supposed to be economical.
From what I remember of Vauxhall/Opel Astras (your previous car) their suspension is pretty hard and crashes and bangs over poor surfaces - I would get your suspension struts changed/modified.
If you buy a car with a "sport" badge, especially a Japanese one, you will generally get firm suspension thrown into the bag! I own a Nissan with sports settings and, true to form, the suspension is rock hard. If you want comfort go for an "SE" badge, if you want fun go for "sports". Remember that Japanese roads are as smooth as bowling greens so they will always err on the firm side as they don't have to cope with any bumps.
It is very wrong to give such a bad impression of a very good and solid built car. As mentioned in a previous reply, if you buy a car which is sporty you will get stiff suspension. The other point I would like to make is that if you really have an Almera Sport then it has a 1.8 litre engine, and not a 1.4 as listed!
