Guys, please read this Almera Review from Vios Owner quoted from kelvin_87. I find it a good read, since it's unbiased towards Toyota Vios rclxms.gif

this is the promotion till end of this month. Wondering is this loan worth & any terms & condition or not?
Almera owners here, pls comment on this comparing with your interest rate obtained from bank.. I need feedback from you guys.

Kindly comment how much are you guys's interest rate for 5 years, 6 years & 7 years loan? I am targetting on this year range.

Hi, I took 2 years loan from TC Capital at 2.38%, very reasonable I would say, even better than banks. Monthly payment is convenient too if you have M2U.

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.'

Serviced my first 1000km yesterday. Total damage is RM88 only. Waiting time was 1.5 hours as I made appointment. Complained about the vibration noise sound at exhaust. No noise after service but it came back after I drove for about 20mins. This is shitty man...

I thought 1000KM, 5000KM, and 10000KM services are free of charge? blink.gif

But I paid rm90 for 1st service. They don't offer free 1st 3 service anymore. Only free labor charge for 1st 3 service.

I bought mine in December 2012, of which, I fall under the early bird promotion entitlement for free service up to 10,000KM. It's really free though, both labour and parts biggrin.gif

since almera is new engine..do we need to follow the rules where below 1000km of your speedometer, you cannot speed more than 90km or accelerate fast???any negative effect if we negligence this rules?
*
Don't rev your engine to >4k RPM should be more appropriate, you can go more than 100km/h as long as RPM is not >4k

don't worry too much about it as long as you don't do it often when your engine is still under break-in period (1600km as stated in your owner's manual).

Hi all almerian. Im one not so happy almerian. First week get car, get bang by some idiot. Have to send for repair. Now already drove for one month. Mileage 1800km. Felt that my FC since day one is not that good. 80% city drive. Fuel up rm100 only go 500km. I was like wt*!! Nissan claimed 14.9km/litre. Felt that the first gear always stuck at 20km/h and need more revving to go beyond that. Is all cvt like that? I went up genting twice, man i rev like mad in order to climb the hill. Is it bcoz not synthetic oil? Down hill during corner, feel like gonna buang... I really dunno how to say my dissappointment.. Any idea or advuce on how to improve it?

QUOTE(jfk @ Jul 30 2013, 01:24 AM)
Did u use Shell or Petronas for ur petrol? Base from my experiences this two type of petrol really make ur engine a bit "delay"... maybe for a great FC but sacrifies the performance. CVT did delay a bit compare ordinary transmission but not that bad afterall  smile.gif
*
Guys, for your information, almera is using conventional 4AT with torque converter, not CVT smile.gif . Ok, back to the question about genting uphill, yes, bear with it and accept the fact that it isn't suitable for stiff uphill, ok? It's quite good on the FC though, Taiping Boy, you might want to try to be gentle with your right foot to get the best FC out of it. I had driven a 5MT almera to genting and had trouble racing against a Toyota Hiace unless I revved it hard at 2nd gear.

Good question, actually the salesman told me that, I never tried it either as I don't have bicycle but now u make me wanna find out if it's real or not... SGD 19,086 is on the road price, this is the lowest spec with Auto, but no CVTC, just normal auto gearbox - in Brunei actually, not Singapore, currency the same. The mid spec will cost around B$/SGD 23K like that - you get the fog light, alloy wheel and a bit of additional here and there inside I guess. Again, for our market, no CVTC gearbox at that price, just the normal gearbox. I think the one with CVTC and all those key-less stuff and maybe leather seat and so on are only available for the high spec which cost over B$30K / SGD 30K. For all model/trim add B$2K for 17" sport rim/tires and another B$2K for Nissan made body kit. The base model B$19K price is for the sake of "beating" Toyota Vios price which is around B$25K to B$27K in here. Cheers.

bro, no offense here, but you sure you want to publish your blog review on Almera when you can't even understand what are CVTC, CVT, and difference between high spec & low spec? For your information, even the highest spec doesnt come with leather seat, as it is an "accessory"

Hi bro, no offense on me and from me either, but anybody can create a blog and publish their review on anything the way they want.

Second, in my review on my blog here = http://www.shewsbury.com/2013/08/nissan-al...iida-latio.html - I never mentioned anything about CVTC gearbox or the difference between all the Nissan offerings and all the specs.

However, in this forum (but never on my blog), I did discuss and give some opinion about the different trim offerings available in our place and I did discuss about what I thought it was on the CVTC gearbox offering. Then again, I am just an amateur who don't know much either, which is why I join this forum to share and to learn more with my fellow Nissan Almera owners.

In my blog, I never claimed to be an automotive engineering or Nissan expert. I am someone who most of the time review small toy cars, so I don't think my crappy amateur opinion on my review about my own Nissan Almera can change the world. I don't think anybody will really take my review seriously either. It's only an amateur opinion from a happy Nissan Almera buyer/owner.

So if you think I should not publish my personal review on my own blog because "I can't even understand what are CVTC, CVT, and difference between high spec & low spec" - then I will just apologize to you and move on, hope you happy with that. You seems to be more knowledgeable about cars or maybe Nissan products, so please share more with us. So, can we all get a long now.

I am a happy Nissan Almera buyer/owner.

laugh.gif I'm sorry if I sound a little cocky at first, but I did finish your blog about Almera. It was a good write up thumbup.gif (especially on the Darth Vader antenna tip, which I don't think most people would even realize it through first glance. Interesting hobby you have there!) and I got stunned by your choice of replacing the original 15" to 14" rims considering that most people are already complaining that 15" is too small for such big car.

Just wanna ask, how much do you think it cost to replace one tyre exactly like the ones they provided a.k.a stock tyres?

Continental Comfort I think the name..15 inch. Thanks!

The price should be between RM180-RM230/tyre if I'm not mistaken
