2006 Nissan Almera TEKNA review from Israel
"Simply does everything very good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
After six months of ownership I am extremely pleased with almost everything.
The Almera is very underrated in the press and I can tell you why: it does everything very well, but simply doesn't do one thing distinctively better then the competition to attract the attention of magazine gloss-heads.
It's their loss, believe me, as the Almera is an excellent car that can teach most other small family cars a lesson or two about build quality, handling, performance and reliability.
It has a fast engine with awesome power at low revs (using Nissan's NVCT technology), grips the road like nobody's business (excellent rear MultiLink suspension), great handling and amazing brakes, reliable, economical with an elegant design and comfy cabin.
I have no doubt that among compact family cars the Almera can definitely receive the title as the "drivers car". The Almera is really fun to drive and simply begs for long, twisted roads to show her full potential (and she has lots of it).
The cabin is well made (It's Nissan, so I didn't expect less), very ergonomic and I really like the central 7" control screen.
I'm a very happy Nissan customer and I promise you that my next car is definitely going to be a Nissan.
