2006 Nissan Almera dCi review from UK and Ireland
"Very good motorway cruiser"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turbo blown due to faulty actuator. Subject to a recall. Turbo is liable to over boosting. Main dealer should change.
General comments?
Fast car in straight line. Doesn't handle like its Golf equivalent.
Torque steer big issue, especially in the wet.
Liable to under steer under heavy acceleration.
Liable to over steer on sharp cornering in wet.
Massive flat spot in performance from 3k RPM.
6 speed transmission adds to the fuel economy.
