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?

This post has been edited by GTA5: Oct 8 2013, 11:54 PM

very nice..eager to buy the rear light..anyone know where can i get it? the front one i think got the modify one...eagle eyes..but for rear..not yet..right now for me..the front one is ok..i want to get a rear lamp with LED...

almera using timing chain..no need to change lifetime..the car that use timing belt that need to replace it every 100,000 KM..

oic...nice info there bro...
now i know...so far after 1 week using almera...
so far so good...

good to hear that... how is your fc??

Maybe you can look at this website
http://newdelhi.olx.in/volkswagen-polo-ren...e-iid-543211252

your risk la...if u wanna buy from this person.

fc means?

FC = fuel consumption
how many KM ur car can go per liter

Btw my car indicator shows l/100km, how to change to km/l?

Don't think can. For reverse one need to calculate urself

Who know where can install other bodykit in kl ?
Im not really into impul..saw sportivo but cost $1800 oo.. Anything below $1500 apart from impul?

Almera is 41 liter tank. Simple calculate, u can use KM travelled divide by 40 litre. Eg: 400km on full tank 40litre. U get 10L/100km. Easy right

My milage bout 6000k. Mostly city drive also. Average 350-400km also. If outstation FC will be very good. Dont know how nissan get combined FC of 14.9km/litre...!!

try mudah
or here
http://www.airmaster.com.my/

price i dunno since i am not from KL


i never really bother about those value given by car manufacturer as i know i will never archive them la hahha

Of course Nissan will quote higher or better FC to attract buyers. Even the inidcator reading of l/100km is underread. thus you will think your car have good FC. So it is not accurate unless your calculate it manually.

owh...haha..
hmmm...later i updated...
coz this saturday morning will fuel up the tank...
after a week using...and using free full tank fuel...

So far my car FC i dont think is good, the indicator shows 7.5l/100km for city drive, and if jam will up to 10l/km. Note: Normally i will stuck in jam for sure. So usually I pumped RM50 can stand for around 250km or lesser only.

Car is ready for taken...

after the first service on 1000km, fc can be improved

yahooo...enjoy your ride bro

...FC for first time...320km for RM76..
24 cent for per 1 KM... boleh tahan jugak ni

sabar sabar
mine also same about 350km for first tank

Hi guys, i found out that the sound produced by the tyre quite loud compare to usual.. i duno how to explain it but i sure it come from the front tyre.. the unusual noise.. hmmm...

Unusual noise...like what bro?what something stuck at ur tyre?

i dont think anything stuck at the tyre. checked on it and seems ok.. like squealing or slip noice caused by the tread or sth like that.. kidna hard to explain..

regarding tire/break better send to SC check asap

Just got my car on Thursday and I drive it to Kl on Saturday.... the fuel consumption is awesome.... the info shown 5.6l/100km... total mileage 300km.. 😁

hi all if add the impul bodykit, need to top up how much ya to the original price? Thanks.

Is it sound like "cit cit cit", very soft and only appear once a while?

I just test drive an almera and the complete impul set is 9.5k

This post has been edited by GreenSamurai: Oct 13 2013, 03:15 PM

wow i found the answer already, i was looking for the basic body kit which cost RM1.5k. hehe

so got book? hmm dont know worth to wait for year end promo or not.

No because I tested the attrage as well after that since the showroom was only next to Nissan and I found that I like the cvt more compared to the 4at on the almera

just want to seek some comments from here on this issue.

budget aside, do you think the extra features in the high specs 1.5 VL as opposed to the lower spec 1.5 E(A), really worth the rm10k ?

1 extra airbag, sports rim, better fine vision display, start stop button, intelligent key, auto aircon control, fog lamps, steering wheel audio control, chrome door handles.

comments please

the SA offered me a 4k rebate, still thinking of getting it?? besides the internal design issue, is there any setback of this car compare to vios??

due to my budget, i personally still think that almera is the best deal, better outlook of city & vios with 10k extra, is a non-value added feature...

This post has been edited by tnchsg: Oct 13 2013, 06:18 PM

i checked with a SA, he told me usually TC will offer for free service for 20k during year end, close to christmas until early of the year for 2013 manufacturing car

ongoing cash discount from TC rm3k. if wait further for this year end promo of free service up to 20k, anyone here can quickly share with us - approx how much rmxxx are these free services worth ?

I'm driving 1.5 E(A) and I'm pretty satisfied with my car

To me, the most important upgrade is the 1 extra airbag. Other than that, you can probably live without.

Once you own your car, you'll probably forget about the extra features VL spec gives you. You'll be happy with your new wife and sayang it anyway (give it a bath from time to time)

RM10k is a lot of money.....(even more if you add in loan interest)

Take the cheaper spec and you'll be glad you've done so after 2 weeks

is that possible take 1.5E(A) and add extra airbag? how much would it cost?

if no other freebies, can ask for 4.5k. thats the highest i got.

Cannot

So, you gotta get V spec at least....(for 2 airbags)

Anyone with leather seat?

Saw the showroom car with leather seat found it's softer compare to fabric seat. Is it true?

he quoted somewhere around 1k, but if wait until that time, the 2nd hand value of the current car might drop more than that...so still thinking of the 4k rebate offered..

4k including i can choose the desired no, and no freebies..

where & who you got that offer?

if can choose desired no, then should be ok la.. heard it costs around 300 right?

found the contact from carlist or oto. cant really remember, but few i asked the highest also 4.5k with no freebies.

for wilayah plat no, runner fee s 100 + 210 for the numbers...

so the discount still ongoing ? possible till year end?
how long is waiting list ?

Not need to pay runner, last time i went to Jln Genting Klang 2nd floor myself, no queue, 10 mins finished booking, Monday afternoon haha

How bout NVH?im sure almera better than attarge..

Haha correct. Attrage produce more noise compared to the almera. At higher speeds it's quite loud the nvh.

Congrats bro..Enjoy your ride

hi, anybody knows where can get the best offer (discounts + freebies) for Almera? can recommend pls?

RACHEL_XXX : can ask for 4.5k. thats the highest i got. from carlist or oto

MYSELF : Setia Alam, 4k rebate + free to choose number, 200 discount for the add on package (RM3300, instead of 3500)

+ THERE IS A ROAD SHOW ONGOING AT SETIA CITY MALL FROM TODAY UNTIL 20TH, NOT SURE WHETHER CAN GET EXTRA FREEBIES OR NOT...

This post has been edited by tnchsg: Oct 14 2013, 03:07 PM

same with me lo...

now is close to year end, and i believe the 3k rebate will continue for all the 2013 manufactured car...possible to be extended until early of next year..no waiting list, able to get the car immediate after you settle all the doc

Today my Almera lost its virginity

I poked it and squirted 33.3 litres of fluid into its hole

Odometer says 330km... which means around 1 litre = 10km

anyone can share the brand & price of almera's security tinted film?
thanks

Tinting Packages from Nissan:

1. V-Kool Elite - RM2600

2. Solar Gard Armorcoat - RM1400

thanks, but the recommended tint is so expensive compare to outside market, i am looking for something more valuable.

anyone of you install the locktech pedal lock for your almera?
i found one at RM280 with free installation..

where you get this price? Mine is RM300 with installation or take it back home RM280...

just order yesterday and going to install it by today...

It's only RM280, provided with 3 years warranty.

but not sure it is locktech (Thai) or locktact (MY)..

maybe after 1st service minyak jimat sikit kot?...
this weekend 1st service

Don worry...I got mine last yrs...aft 1k service will be fine.

Attrage engine is using 3spark plug ma...for less then 100km/h sure fuel saving and save fuel..but wanna to 100km/h a above is commit sucide to the car...yes v hardly use up to 100km/h n above but once in a blue month go holiday by using Attrage then is suffering...Almera is better choice..I'm happy to drive my Nissan almera

I use 8mil safety film...but is no really idea for me...cuz the film is to thick and drain a lot power for the power window motor to function...try wif 6mil is u can get...market currently is 4mil normal safety film...and FYI My 8mil jz 1200

Lol why so defensive? I'm just saying I like the cvt more. Didn't mention other things also

3 cylinder car will produce more noise at high speed but does not mean it will kill the engine. 3 cylinder will hv higher RPM as well.
my kenari with 3 piston mileage was 250k and i am constant hi-way drive at above allow speed limit.
and it last me for 8 years without a problem. except for wear n tear.

but of course 4 cylinder is more quiet n more nice to drive for high way la

Not defensive...just feel like better then attrage

Yea...bit wen idle car at traffic light like earthquake...hahahahaah

I got quote by them RM320 without installation..

if earth quake mean ur mounting gone case. if got maintain it seldom will happen
same with any cars i believe

280 for locktact, and 360 for locktech (free install).

looks like yours is cheaper, may i know where is your installed place and shop name?

here : https://www.facebook.com/wwfauto

I install only rm220 but not locktech locktat. Also oem brand same function no wore cutting require

Anyone here install a custon bodykit?means diff than impul..

Nissan cars in terms of NVH can be consider the best comparing with honda n toyota..for b segment class..almera NVH is much better than vios n city..and for D segment..Teana is way better than accord n camry..I think Tan Chong should be more aggresive promoting Nissan brand to fight with toyota n honda..

i have tik tik sound come out from the handbrake/driver seat. anyone have this problem?

what is NVH???

it is good deal... i think.
