congrats on v2

Any reviews from new Almera owners?

I think it is generally a good car. My basis for comparison is mainly between Almera and Vios (since my mom owns a Vios and I've been driving it before getting this Almera)

FC = My mileage is less than 500km and I'm getting around 9.7l/100km 95% city drive. My mom's Vios clocks the same consumption. If you're paying 65k for an Almera vs 100k for a Prius C, you have 35k to spend on petrol!

Noise insulation = Pretty good. Engine is silent when in operation (compared to Vios)

Comfort = Tons of space, and bumpy roads don't feel uncomfortable. Actually, going over bumps is a joy

Handling = The steering wheel is super light but I can feel significant body roll when cornering at higher speeds (worse than Vios)

Acceleration = I'm a light-footed driver so I prefer to step on the pedal gradually to build speed. The CVVT engine is very smooth (I'd say it's between CVT and Vios' engine in terms of smoothness). However, pick-up wise, the Vios is better.

Interior = It's not ideal. It seems pretty ugly and dated. However, it is simple and has all the basic necessities you need in a car. Simplicity also means less potential for parts to break down, and stuff will be easier (& probably cheaper to repair). The front pillars of the car gives pretty much an identical blind spot as the Vios.

Exterior = I personally found the Almera awful without the bodykit, which prompted me to spend 1.5k on the Impul bodykit.... The bum still looks a bit awkward, but the front and side look waaaay better with the bodykit on.

Safety = Well, let's just say many Jap carmakers take advantage of the fact that Malaysians care more about a car's looks rather than its safety. However, if you drive safely and defensively, you're more likely to stay alive than a person who drives like a madman in a car with a gazillion airbags.

Overall, 65k for the lowest spec-ed auto variant is pretty okay for what you're getting, given it's a foreign car brand with less headaches (reliability, servicing).

My 2 cents.

This week will getting my car...

But already told to SA no need to wash because want to send detailing and put coating....

i frankly believe this is very fair review

this car is not perfect but its actually value for money
for 65-67K range. comfort wise and NVH level this is the best money can buy

abit turn off is just 1 airbag for cheapo level but i am ok with it lo

just booking mine almera white color,estimate to get my car on next week, just add on sport rim only, thinking to do the bk outside and found mudah.my was selling cheap 1k with 1 year warranty.

Nice ride..

this is new bodykit? nice than old one...

that one is the 'nismo' bodykit

the ones sold by SA are 'impul' bodykits

i can't even get to 400km at the moment on a full tank

my full tank for city drive average 400km nia

mileage now is 9700km

last week went to SC Kota Damansara for my 10K service. after 10k service, i felt my car more power n pickup and let see how the FC..is it improving or the same..my full tank on last sunday...now dy 150KM drove and only 2 bar gone from the FULL...

Some almerians said...after u service, take out negative connection battery to making reset ecu. Let it around 15 minutes and put it on back and set back the clock (will default to 0:00)

this is reset ecu. maybe can reset ur driving record from ECU
but i dont think it will help anything
i tried with old car. no impact.

but what i notice with my old car. just drive and it will get better
not sure with this alemera/. just wait n see

Any cheapo grounding cable will make effect on car? Thinking to add grounding cable and voltage stabilizer....

just my personal opinion la

all those will not bring major improvement to the car because our car are not performance car. just normal family car. even if it does i doubt it worth for your money.
same to fuel saving product.

This is a better look, anyone modifying their car to look like this?

The timing belt is chain right? Change every 100,000 km?
