Hi Outsider, i only know Honda is offering 0.88% p.a.
I only know Nissan have Tan Chong Capital loan for 2.38% p.a., but it only applies up to 5 years. Could you please clarify this with your SA? If 0.88% is valid, please let me know... I have yet to book Almera. |

I just test drove it. RIDICULOUSLY QUIET.
I felt like I was in a high end C-segment, until I looked inside. Incredible smooth and quiet ride, but inside is rather ugly. Great car for many people! At such a low price and a little compromise on the interior design, many people will find this car a great buy. For those thinking of getting a B segment, this should be amongst your top choices! |

the NVH of Almera is good and clutch of CVTC also powerful for 1st and 2nd gear, good legroom...
the only thing turn me off is as below, 1.) interior is all plastic, no armrest 2.) Almera VL with music control on steering is poor quality material and design is just not nice. 3.) Almera VL clock shape design of aircond control is abit outdated design. 4.) travel of higher speed >80km/h, car feel like floating |

just get my new Almera, here is my comment,
1. Interior build quality is good, apart from the steering wheels which feel like Proton Saga. At least do not have finishing like poor plastic. 2. Drive is surprisingly good and quiet. 3. Doesn't float like the above poster mention when above 80kmh, but still a new car, doesn't dare go more then 120kmh. 4. Rev around 2k-3k give the best feel or power/fuel save. 5. No Auto lock 6. Wing Mirror with LED doesn't fold. 7. Additional 3.5k get u luxury feel like leather seat, step plate with lights etc 8. Rear door open up near 90 degree, spacious enough for elder people to get out/in easily. 9. Hate the audio system cause is ugly. 10. Overall a love hate car depend on individual. |

Overall a love hate car depend on individual. for me, my comment for almera is 1. interior design is ulgy, especially at front passenger area, and the plastic feel like local car, but when u knock feel hard no like proton 2. drive s quiet, but havnt try on bumpy road 3. i drive til 140km/h, will feel float, i think 110km/h is stil ok 4. i think when u drive slow, u will feel the car is underpower, but when rpm reaches 3.5k and above u feel the power in the car 5. now all new car will not include auto lock, due to jpj set new rules, in case accident, cant open frm outside 6. side mirror cant retracable, one of the reason i choose vios 7. can customize for car by adding package, and all ori, and impul bodykit juz add rm1500, 8. rear roomleg is big, u will feel car is longer, but no wider 9. the dashboard is ugly. the reason i didnt pick almera cos with E variant, come with only 1 airbag, and almera is still new in malaysia, donno reliable o nt, in the end, i choose vios instead. |

Bro,
For adding 1,500 you will get the euro bodykit not the impul,, Impul need to add nearly 7k, The different is sport rim and front grill,, impul with 16inch rims and impul front grill My personal taste, euro bodykit enough |

I did a test drive almera just now...
Pros 1. pickup still there even though with 1.5cc and 4AT 2. roomy leg space at rear seat 3. finishing quality 4. roomy rear bonnet 5. light steering wheel (suitable for city drive) 6. remote trunk release Cons 1. rear seat no enough for 3 person comfortably 2. 1 Airbag for basic spec 3. Need fork out RM3k-RM6k for recommended accessories and RM1500 for IMPUL bodykit 4. 1000kg kerb weight (no suitable for high speed) 5. 4AT transmission 6. small side mirror 7. lack of features 8. GPS system required external SD card to operate with Overall: it still a good car to afford by most of city driver... |

QUOTE(nickzkuso @ Nov 24 2012, 09:45 AM) Higher power car >fc, lower power car <fc. As simple as that. If the tuning for this car is not much different with the under-powered Vios, fc should be almost the same. Depends on the way you drive but that's just affect a little bit of it.Nowadays cars under same segment, fc almost the same unless you go for hybrid. |

I've ordered the VL spec during the launching. Car will arrive next Wednesday.
Interest 2.45% HLB., 9 years. Package = VL + Leather seat + Navi. Did not get the Tint as I feel it's too expensive. Did not get the BK as wana have the elegance look 1st. Will only get BK after sometime. |

Just test drive this today in raining condition. Grip for rear wheels is not very good when negotiating corners - I think it's probably suspension instead of tyres. Salesperson claims there is no problem for the IMPUL version - probably getting the IMPUL suspension system is recommended. Noise insulation is pretty good and rear seat leg space is rather spacious. Ugly dashboard but that might be a personal thing.

Nissan overtakes Honda as second largest non-national: Following the launch of the Almera, Nissan has overtaken Honda as the 2nd largest non-national marque with an 8% market share – a significant jump vs.5.4% share in October 2012 and 4.8% in Nov 2011. Nissan’s passenger car segment – which purely reflects the launch of its new B-segment – grew by some 85% MoM, or an absolute volume increase of >1800 units. • Toyota resilient despite new competition: Toyota sales were resilient (+7% MoM), despite its Vios having been over 5 years in the market and despite the entry of a lower priced competing model. However, we note that UMW has much leeway to respond in terms of promotional rebates given that margins for an end-of-life model tends to be higher as much value chain depreciation would have been taken in the early years. • Where’s the volume coming from?: We believe that Nissan Almera is currently taking away market share from Proton in particular, and to a certain extent Honda and Korean marques. Pricing of the Almera (at RM64K-77K) overlaps that of Proton Preve (RM60-73K), while we suspect there was uptrading from Persona buyers (priced at RM50K-59K). Estimated November sales volume of circa 2K for the Almera could not have possibly come entirely from non-national B-segments as Honda sales was only down by 199 units (-5% MoM) in November while Toyota sales remained pretty strong (+7% MoM). Proton sales as a comparison fell 21% MoM in November, or an absolute volume decline of 2,797 units. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Source : AmResearch |

Almost RM80k.....
IMPULS bodykit RM1.5k (50% discount). Navigator (RM1.8k), different one from the original which is quoted at RM2.8k. But, I haven't seen it yet, so can't commend. LED signal lights on the wing mirrors, door visors, trunk tray and sport pedals. |

I had test drive both and my findings. Preve - Power - Stability - Functionality Almera - Reliability - Low Fuel Consumption - Comfort How great if can combine both. |

Really not keen on Proton cars anymore.Why still support proton when they are the root cause of us paying so much for non Malaysian cars all these years... Used to own a Iswara years ago. During a year of ownership, there were a few times had to change broken door handles, power window "gun", and one time the speedometer seized to work. My current ride is a Hyundai Accent (previous model). Although their quality is not on par with the Japs, but the door handles only broke after more than 7 years. Never have any problem with the speedometer yet. I know the quality of latest Proton car models has improved, but still not keen on them.

Remember you have to go back to do service time to time. You need to do survey by yourself I cannot comment much here. Because it has been 8 or 9 yrs I didnt go back to proton SC.I had test drive both and my findings. Preve - Power - Stability - Functionality Almera - Reliability - Low Fuel Consumption - Comfort How great if can combine both. My experience 8 yrs ago, I sent for minor service, they charged me normal mineral engine oil rm50 and labour charge rm90. I asked them why, they told me they do many many inspections. But they only spend 1 hour to complete minor service. This is my personal opinion. you need to survey. It was my cheap Iswara car but they can charge unreasonable. When came to major service, they charged me rm600 for my iswara.... This post has been edited by bennedict82: Dec 25 2012, 11:07 PM |

But they only spend 1 hour to complete minor service. This is my personal opinion. you need to survey. It was my cheap Iswara car but they can charge unreasonable. When came to major service, they charged me rm600 for my iswara.... my EXP before buy almera i got a persona 2009 model..used 3yrs..i sold...the reason is i spend alot of time to SC....a lot complaint....i not jap hardcore fans..jz tat if u can get a better and trusted brand why not u go for it.....proton jz lost my confidence....anyhow everyone have theirs 1st national car in malaysia as a malaysian......yes convention gear box is outdated any new cars equip with CVT gear box....but...convention gear box will offer u peace of mind where durable and CVT smoother ride....but expensive come to maintain it....so this is my opinion....too tired support P1...

Indeed, if bro look for higher performance car, almera is not suitable,
Nissan car normally offer a comfort and quiet engine ..Almera is more suitable use for city drive especially if u stay in car longer daily. |

QUOTE(Ssaymlenait @ Dec 25 2012, 09:29 PM) Agree. I not so agree. Not Proton problems. Just That Timbang use Proton as an excuse to earn more by raising foreigner car tax.Why still support proton when they are the root cause of us paying so much for non Malaysian cars all these years... QUOTE(ET_Malaysia @ Dec 25 2012, 09:43 PM) Depends on your preference lo... I not keen Proton also. But after test drive, Preve CFE is totally different than the normal car on the road. If u wan to know the different, go have a test drive cause it is free anyway. After 9 months Preve in the market, i did some research for common problem on Preve. Just found few problems that happen in this model and it is solve in newer the batch. This is why i am considering Preve. No doubt Almera had the most reliability after all.Nothing is perfect in this world. Added on December 25, 2012, 9:57 pm Really not keen on Proton cars anymore. Used to own a Iswara years ago. During a year of ownership, there were a few times had to change broken door handles, power window "gun", and one time the speedometer seized to work. My current ride is a Hyundai Accent (previous model). Although their quality is not on par with the Japs, but the door handles only broke after more than 7 years. Never have any problem with the speedometer yet. I know the quality of latest Proton car models has improved, but still not keen on them. QUOTE(bennedict82 @ Dec 25 2012, 11:02 PM) Agree x 2 lol no doubt older proton model is problematic car. But it is really getting better for newer version.Ask them not to cheating themselves. If really cannot compete in global market, just close shop. Dont burden us with selling us expensive car. And then indirectly benefits some xxx parties.... Added on December 25, 2012, 11:07 pm Dont just look at the car. You also need to consider about their after sale service. Dont get TL later even you get good car but very bad service. Remember you have to go back to do service time to time. You need to do survey by yourself I cannot comment much here. Because it has been 8 or 9 yrs I didnt go back to proton SC. My experience 8 yrs ago, I sent for minor service, they charged me normal mineral engine oil rm50 and labour charge rm90. I asked them why, they told me they do many many inspections.

If the performance can match a mitsu engine waja, no doubt i will go for it. I just felt that the Almera performance is sluggish when i floor the pedal. |

Hi, How is you guys thinking?
If the Almera only offer with Thailand specs as 1.2l with CVT. Do you think the car is power enough for Malaysia kaki? HR12DE ENGINE 3 in line DOHC / Engine capacity 1,198 cc 79 Hp at 6,000 RPM, with max. torque 106 N-m at 4,400 RPM, low friction, good acceleration, and high torque during low rpm. http://www.nissan.co.th/en/Showroom/Models/Almera.aspx |

It's not a pretty car, not the kind that makes you go "sh!t I have to have one!!" until you actually sit in it and got floored by the cabin space.
It's not that ugly, I personally thought the IMPUL kit helps a bit, if not a bit overpriced. If you point a gun at me and ask me to choose between dugong and Almera.....sorry to say I still think dugong looks better This post has been edited by dares: Dec 29 2012, 01:48 PM |

QUOTE(lung85 @ Nov 20 2012, 07:38 PM) i do test drive almera few times, in the end i choose vios instead due to i need travel outstation. i cant agree on the "5. now all new car will not include auto lock, due to jpj set new rules, in case accident, cant open frm outside"....for me, my comment for almera is 1. interior design is ulgy, especially at front passenger area, and the plastic feel like local car, but when u knock feel hard no like proton 2. drive s quiet, but havnt try on bumpy road 3. i drive til 140km/h, will feel float, i think 110km/h is stil ok 4. i think when u drive slow, u will feel the car is underpower, but when rpm reaches 3.5k and above u feel the power in the car 5. now all new car will not include auto lock, due to jpj set new rules, in case accident, cant open frm outside 6. side mirror cant retracable, one of the reason i choose vios 7. can customize for car by adding package, and all ori, and impul bodykit juz add rm1500, 8. rear roomleg is big, u will feel car is longer, but no wider 9. the dashboard is ugly. the reason i didnt pick almera cos with E variant, come with only 1 airbag, and almera is still new in malaysia, donno reliable o nt, in the end, i choose vios instead. now many new cars are come with auto lock, and with the feature Auto Door Unlock in case of accident or impact.... drove many car, kenari, myvi, Persona, Forte, K5 Optima, Alphard etc,...... they are come with Auto Door Lock, nowadays they took out this just to cut cost down, dont listen to those SA crab that "...... not include auto lock, due to jpj set new rules, in case accident, cant open frm outside..." What a bullshit!! |

I’m the owner white almera E with body kit.
Already done 1st service at SC. Max speed I can get 150km/h with 3adult & 2 kids inside. I think it can go further but me don’t dare to press the pedal further deep more & can’t stay long at that speed, I love my family. Actually I bought this car not for racing with everyone on the road in the first place. It is about comfortable with my small family (with 2 kids) for mid range & long range (3~5 time per year for JB to KBharu). With the space, engine quiet, changing gear very smooth, FC, fresh look on the road & practical especially for the cup holder (for me & my kid). Even it’s too simple for the interior, it’s better for me. Normally when I’m driving, I only focus on road not the gadget inside the car. My wife & kids always goes to sleep already. Initially, I’m going for forte but the budget constrains (70k only). I really don’t like waste my money on car but for housing yes…. Vios – everything is GOOD for me except the space. Preve - cant trust the quality anymore for the time being, (waja experience for 6years). Need to move on to something new. If you will get married & have family with 70k budget, I recommend this car. Con – sometime I feel this car quite sluggish, but cant say more -> just press the pedal more la…hahaha This post has been edited by T3ngK0raK: Jan 5 2013, 10:25 AM |

Interior build quality is good, apart from the steering wheels which feel like Proton Saga. At least do not have finishing like poor plastic. 2. Drive is surprisingly good and quiet. 3. Doesn't float like the above poster mention when above 80kmh, but still a new car, doesn't dare go more then 120kmh. 4. Rev around 2k-3k give the best feel or power/fuel save. 5. No Auto lock 6.

Got my new ride since Friday. So far so good!
Very quiet while driving at normal speed, but my wife said it feels a little bit bumpier compared with my previous car - Hyundai Accent. Everyone just loves the spacious cabin, especially at the back! This post has been edited by ET_Malaysia: Jan 6 2013, 07:41 PM |

Hi guys.
New to lowyatt. Been driving vl spec for 1 month now. Clocked 2.5k++. So far so good. No obvious rattling from dashboard, fc good, quiet cabin, pickup slow but im ok with it..nk lebih tekan lebih jer.. The only Weird experience is the keyless entry...sometimes suddenly when open door it goes to panic mode...which is rather annoying.anybody experiencing the same thing? |

Hi everyone, been driving VL spec Bronze Gold for almost 1 month now, reaching around 2K mileage. First day got the car, steering was shaking alot when reach around 100 to 110 KPH. Went back to service the next day, no problem so far (Great after sales service).
Love the quietness of the engine (don't mind the pickup is abit slow), and the great leg space. Ideal for small family car |

Hi all friends here, I am owning a VL spec for a month already. This is my first time owning automatic transmission car.
Almera has the function of the OD off if you press the OD button. By default, it does not light on until you press the button. I am confused, for normal driving(not overtaking), which mode should I use. Thank you, hope you guys can advise |

It’s you rights. Any problem highlight to SA to repair and do not sign any doc yet. Wait until problem solved. |

Went to petrol station to check the air pressure of the tyres of my car. Found out that the pressure was >300 kPA. Recommended to put 230/210 kPA for front and rear if 1-3 passengers. They put >300 kPA!!! No wonder my car was so bumpy!
I think the mechanics in Malaysia really like to over-inflate the tyres. Wonder why....... |

It's not good to over-inflate your tyres. Your car will be bumpy, but more importantly your safety will be compromised. The over-inflated tyres will have less grip as there is less contact surface between the tyre and the road.

juz got back to JB from KB.
go & back it just RM200 of Ron95. my old waja should be RM300. maybe due to cc is difference. But, driving was smooth and comfort. This is what I like the most. Going back to JB, many time I overtake car & lorry using overdrive button. Even the rpm increase compares to normal driving, but for me it’s still quite & pickup also become better. I notice that when moving 80~90kmh, press overdrive button, zaaassss there she goes…easily can reach 120kmh. But from stand still using overdrive button, almost can’t feel anything until reach 50kmh… |

Hi bro,My feeling is that it's a good car but really ugly both front & back, inside out. Everybody loves luxury merc,BMW n Ferrari...the point were are we afford to buy? We pay RM 60-80k to buy a car no because of nice or performance is just we want to have practical and a quality of live..yes some national car price was on par with some Japanese car but do we still believe and confidence at our national car? Don tell me u pay 80k can get luxury and high performance car...no 1 stone 2 bird in this world...sorry I buy the car not because of design I buy for the Pratical And the history of this brand.. Try open your eye to the world see some other jap car at other place and compare with our national car and Almera u will know the answer... Peace jz my 2 cent |

QUOTE(advocado @ Feb 16 2013, 02:36 PM) Anybody else thinks Almera is one of the ugliest car out in the market currently? TBH i felt it is an ugly car with an ugly ass. My feeling is that it's a good car but really ugly both front & back, inside out. But i started off my day to buy car by looking at Proton Saga first. It was clunky, underpowered n has less noise insulation than my 1995 Satria. I then looked at Kia Rio. It is a beautiful car, spacious bonnet, great design, looks great interior and its sporty. I thrn checked a more realistic target. Myvi. It was nice, way better than Saga. Not bad noise insulation and pretty good power response. Out of whim, I went to Nissan. TBH, i didnt like it. It was not my first choice. Then i took it out on a test drive. Smooth, quick response, comfortable and on par with Rio in terms of comfort. But not the design. Most importantly, the price and the brands spoke to me. After pondering it over i choose it over Rio. Reason? Brand. Comfort. Reliability. |

Hi all. Been planning to get a myvi but my friend say not safe, get almera better. Considering the manual one? Almera owners, what's your opinion on the car? Ok? I plan to drive straight to klang & change sports rims instead of paying rm800 for the stock almera rims. Is the car good? Sound system good? Ty.
Have a good day |

You might say your wife is beautiful, but maybe to me she is not. Same goes with my wife. You know what I mean?My feeling is that it's a good car but really ugly both front & back, inside out. If you want to choose a car just based on the look, by all means go ahead. But, we chose Almera because of it's spaciousness, quietness and comfort. And, to me, after putting up the Impul bodykit, it's actually not a bad looking car. |

Most automatic transmissions have 3 speeds and overdrive (fourth speed). Overdrive allows the engine to operate at a lower rpm for a given road speed. This allows the vehicle to realize better fuel efficiency, and often quieter operation on the highway. When you switch it on, you allow the transmission to shift into overdrive mode after the certain speed is reached. When it is off, the transmission shifting is limited to the lower gears. For normal driving conditions, operation of the overdrive should be enabled. The OD button is located at the right side of the gear lever, you can press it using your thumb.

QUOTE(frella @ Feb 17 2013, 07:59 AM) Vios:Pros - better pickup, and...... (can't think of any other point) Cons: Older design, smaller cabin Almera: Pros - bigger cabin, newer design (until the new generation of Vios coming) Cons - slower pickup As for the look, some people said Vios is uglier and others said Almera is uglier. So, I am not going to give any comment on the look as each of us has different preferences. As for quietness, comfort and fuel economy, I think they are about the same. |

had a chance to drive and sit a passenger site of Almera (manual)...(my in-law car)
drive; engine is silent, smooth. - not so aggressive vs vios. - Good FC.(due to engine characteristic i guess...not too aggressive, so safe fuel) cosmetics; despite what u all say, (at least, for me) old man taste. fugly mang. - dashboard is fugly...obviously the aircond vent.. - door trim (obviously the internal door handle) is fugly. feel wierd to handle. - seat is not really comfort(im a quite big guy...) maybe skinny ppl will suite well. - outside looking? seriously? Nissan could do better than old mang looking if u want to attract younger ppl... price? yeah...affordable. This post has been edited by joefbi: Feb 18 2013, 09:23 AM |

Let me explain:Got info in ur manual on what is the recommended speed to use ur od button. Personaally i dun feel any difference when overtaking using od ..lebih kurang jer.. If you put the OD on, you need to press the gas pedal harder before the gearbox kicks down. Sometimes, the gearbox will be a bit reluctant to kick-down and it would take 1-2 secs. If you switch off the OD, the kick-down is faster so you can get better pickup for overtaking. |

My SA offered me Maybank 2.49% p.a., just made order today, n will know the final offer once bank approved it.
but according to pic above, the 2.48 only for loan amount from 40k-60k, means only the Almera E... i think interest rate might b slightly higher for above 60k loan amount. |

Guys...beware and alert when you going to jalan ipoh for car service, especially on Sunday. Below is my story
'Today is Chap Goh Mei, but i am not happy at all to celebrate it due to the service provide by HQ jalan Ipoh branch. I just get my Almera car before CNY, after calculate it less than a month. Today i doing my first 1000KM car service after that will go to buy 'Yee Sang' to celebrate last day of CNY. Guess what...when i collect my car, the front bonnet just upper of Nissan Logo paint is rip off/gone, dimension is about 1cm. Since today is Sunday, the guy told me will wait for tomorrow so that he can discuss with his supervisor for solve this. I do hope can get good respond and solution on HQ site. I do hope their car service team is more alert and take care of the car when send in for service...consider today is my un-lucky day and hope it won't happen again...new car less than month become not perfect and no mood to celebrate it. I won't consider go to HQ jalan Ipoh for next service again.' |

Finally I took the TC CAPITAL, so good can pay with M2U set as bill payment, only deduct RM 0.50. Once received your payment they will sent you a SMS, so friendly. |

QUOTE(venicelim @ Feb 24 2013, 06:57 PM) I am planning to buy E variant, but struggling which colour to chose. Not sure to take bronze gold, twilight grey, white or silver.. @.@ my personal opinion, seeing almera on the roads.& also struggling to add BK or not. Personally I feel bronze gold & twilight grey has to add BK to look nicer; while silver & white both looks nice even without BK. Pls correct me if wrong.. I am struggling now.. & pls share if there's any method / way to make decision for colour.. bronze is nice color, but doesnt look nice on almera. the only color i see is beautiful is twilight grey and white.... while i'm not a fan of black and silver yesterday i just pass by grey almera. really look nice. its just that i dont think the color suite me as i think its look too matured while i'm so young i booked white. but i still worried it will become easily spoiled as it is not metallic |

QUOTE(venicelim @ Feb 24 2013, 09:34 PM) yes, I also afraid white colour will become yellowish easily. There was 4 Almeras in my work place, color Bronze Gold (my one), Silver, Grey and White (IMPUL)btw, wonder why Almera doesnt have different price for metallic & non-metallic (white) pricing? normally cars even Saga BLM has cheaper pricing for white colour of about RM1000 compared to metallic colour. My fil is: 1) Broze Gold (only for Almera)- The body color look so nice matching with the tint dark windows. The chrome door handle and sport rims look so special because the body ia dark. This color like 3D color can't easily show the shape of the car body (like hide some secrete). 2) Silver- (all nissan model)- This color makes the car look so big and luxely, my boss said like a small Teana. The body shape is totally expose (no hide secrete). 3) Grey- (all nissan model)- It look so normal. 4) White (all nissan model)- Same as silver the car look so big but sporty. So nice with IMPUL pakage or just add the skirt only. I'm not choose White color because last time used white car. Surrender for washing and polishing. |

IMO, i'll prefer Bronze Gold, bit classy n nice colour (n good with dust & watermarks too, not so visible), would choose grey if it's slightly darker like Teana's Deep Amethyst Grey, the Twilight Grey is bit light for my liking.
White n Black only look sporty with BK. ^^ Silver bit normal n boring for me.. haha... |

Hello all! Need some decisions. I'm planning to get the E manual version w/o bodykit. As in comes with steel rims, I'm planning to put on some 16 inch black rims & tint the windows black too. What do you all think is the beat colour to get? Not planning on black anymore as I already got a black Polo at home. Silver or bronze gold?

Hi All, Greetings and good day to you.
I am the new owner of this good car. I've a trouble to share on. You see, during my trip from Puchong - Terengganu, my tyre bursted. I suspected my Conti is overheating due to non-stop-no rest to the destination. No big deal. Haha. Lucky got spare. The problem is, one of my wheel cap is missing. Asked many tyre shops, very hard to find. They suggested to change to new rims. But i find Almera alloy rims isnt that bad. Can i just buy it at service centre? I've looked back at the whole pamphlet promotional package thing on the paper. rm800.. |

After further confirmation & test driving in highway, I conclude it is exhaust sound. Before this, cannot hear anything. It is more obvious when press the pedal until 80kmh then release it to glide. I ask my SA regarding exhaust sound. He said it’s normal because the almera use 2 joint (made by rubber) left & right near to muffler. These 2 rubbers hold the exhaust to the body. After few months, this rubber will tear (or loose), the muffler will start to vibrate. More worst is have body kit. Few costumers already have this problem & go to SC to repair. But no news how they (SC) do it. My SA even show me exhaust for Teanna- direct weld to the body. So it difficult to vibrate. This Saturday will go to SC to complaint. |

QUOTE(Oracle9 @ Feb 28 2013, 03:50 PM) Same to me. I only discovered that when back from JB to KL. I stopped at Shell to check the pressure... Yeah, it's quite dangerous if the tyres are over-inflated as the contact surface between the tyres and the road is less. You felt your car floating during high speed because there was less traction.310 because my car is floating like hell until I felt not safe to drive over 110KM/h. Sayang my tyres After setting the air pressure of my tyres to 230, now my car feels more stable during high speed and also not as bumpy as before.

QUOTE(ET_Malaysia @ Feb 5 2013, 10:57 PM) Went to petrol station to check the air pressure of the tyres of my car. Found out that the pressure was >300 kPA. Recommended to put 230/210 kPA for front and rear if 1-3 passengers. They put >300 kPA!!! No wonder my car was so bumpy! What about d fc? Will it be increased if tyre pressure is reduced?I think the mechanics in Malaysia really like to over-inflate the tyres. Wonder why....... |

OBD = On-Board Diagnostics
The port is located below steering, can see it after you remove the cover. |

On-board diagnostics, or OBD is an automotive term referring to a vehicle's self-diagnostic and reporting capability. OBD systems give the vehicle owner or a repair technician access to state of health information for various vehicle sub-systems.

If I'm not wrong you just change the suspension (spring) & it'll be lowered. Yes the ride will definitely feel more bumpy but you'll get better handling. Up size the sport rims & leave the height untouched! Planning to get myself 16 or 17" ones |

I've shortlisted a few in my mind... below is a blogpage which listed most of the reputable/reliable detailers in m'sia. Car Paint Protection Maybe for those who opt for the same detailer, we can get group discount perhaps? |

if you consider between Almera, Preve, Vios and City, what's the pros and cons?
I tried on Almera and it's really spacious. But interior wise so-so. Since all the cars are in similar price range, it's within my budget. but not sure which one to go for. Kinda feel Almera is worth the value among those 4 cars I mentioned above. |

Really depends on what you're looking for.
Almera is more a spacious family car that ha good fuel efficiency. Definitely not a "driver's car", not much fun as Fiesta. |

Hopefully by the end of the month I'll be able to count myself as a Nissan Almera VL owner. I added the leather seats, GPS and tinting package. Well, not exactly for me to drive, I got it for my mum. I'm hoping for a trouble free ownership experience so I don't have to teman her to workshop often.

Hi guys, not sure whether is this a problem. When I first got my car in Dec, I thought the engine was quiet when u're driving.
Lately, I've been hearing a buzzing sound, something like what you'll hear when a motorbike passes by, that kind of high pitch buzzing sound. Not sure whether anyone else heard it? |

I encounter this sound come from the back but not sure is from the door or back seat. That time my fuel lever is remaining one column. After I refill to full tank, the sound has gone. Until now remain 3 column also no sound, will update all later after monitoring.

Just had my 2nd free service done today!
Very impressed by the service of TCM. I called the service centre in Balakong yesterday for reservation and after a short while, I received a sms about the confirmation of reservation. Nice! So far so good with my ride, nothing to complaint about. This post has been edited by ET_Malaysia: Mar 13 2013, 10:39 PM |

If the rim is heavy, it sure will affect the performance and increase the FC. |

Yes, you need to let your car's engine to run-in first. After the proper run-in, you will see the improvement in FC. |

QUOTE(ET_Malaysia @ Mar 16 2013, 05:36 PM) This car is for those who want spacious cabin, comfortable ride and adequate performance. Thanks for info here, actually the rooms of the backseat is big too! I am thinking of getting this Almera or Alza. The rear knee room in Almera is even better than in the current Teana! (According to a car blog) Nissan Teana is a big car sure everybody like it, personally i do like Serena but cannot afford it, too expensive. |
