The electric sunroof switch was faulty.... other than this everything has worked perfectly.
Great car, good handling around corners, quick off the mark and comfortable to drive.
It has lots of extras: CD, alloys, full electrics, airbag, etc.
I would definitely recommend the Almera Si.... especially in Yellow Pearl. The best part is that the insurance is very, very reasonable for a car like this.
However, I would like to say that the 5 door Almera's look bad.... almost like an estate!
(1.4 si 16v) I would agree with you, however, I have only had mine for 3 days so my comments on the car would be somewhat biased. To say that I love it would be an understatement! Looks, ALL the electric gadgets and gizmos that I would ever need N reg 27k on the clock alloys F.S.H. All in Alaska blue and I only paid a little over 3k for it from a dealer - need I say more!!
But does anyone know the performance data for one of these cars i.e. 0-60/mpg etc etc. Off for a drive now and maybe I can work these figures out for myself......!!
You said the 5 door Almera looks like an estate, when the design was for a small family estate car.
