QUOTE(Safar @ Jul 2 2015, 11:45 AM) 7.8L = 100km 1L = X 7.8x = 100 X = 100/7.8 1L = 12.8 km is this consider good fc if comparing with other B segment cars ? And, also Almera is quite a lighter car compares to City and Vios for an example.

QUOTE(Gamerjim @ Jul 3 2015, 03:45 PM) I would say it all depends on the driver itself.. fc should b about the same for the sushi car in this segment.. Thanks. Will the fc improve after the 1600km run in period ?

The NVH of Almera is better than many cars out there. Managed to bring it up to 100km/h, the car is quiet at both engine and road noise intrusion with no noticeable wing noise from the A pillar area.

QUOTE(kingz113 @ Jul 11 2015, 06:00 PM) 2013 owner here. No mods done and summary of experience: 1. Except for damaged fan motor, no other problems. 2. Super fuel efficient. Odo is sitting at 35k, and I get approx 480km per full tank. Funny thing is if I stick to one petrol brand, I get 420-440km. But when I switch it up weekly I get more. Very intriguing. 3. Driving interstate is also fuel saving. Drove to Ipoh and back and used 6.5/100km. 4. Tanchong service very expensive. Will take it out when warranty ends. Which petrol you are using ? Thanks for sharing your ownership experience. Tan Chong charges still reasonable compares to T and H brands.

QUOTE(GTA5 @ Jul 11 2015, 05:16 PM) This one I have to agree. Even at 140 also quite quiet for me. However my only grouse is when the car moves from stationary. Will hear a distinct high pitch gear change sound from gear one to two. Think I feel that. What is your experience driving in the rain ? Thanks.

QUOTE(3nf0rc3r @ Jul 14 2015, 12:28 PM) 20k mileage or next 6 months to service if your service centre used fully synthetic oil. That's what my service centre advisor told me. Almera using 0W20 eco engine oil same as Serena Hybrid.

QUOTE(soonwai @ Jul 16 2015, 05:51 PM) Hi all, new Almera E Auto (basic package with nothing but the Nismo bodykit) owner here. Just took delivery of it on Tuesday this week (about 10 days ago from date of order). So far so good but I'm just a point A to B car person. Previous car was a Wira 1.5. Current cars are Rusa 1.3, Wira 1.3, Getz and a Kenari which was traded in for the Almera. As you can see I like affordable cars and tend to keep them for a long time so hopefully the Almera can last long too. Now keeping a eye on FC. First question to the sifus here, are 3rd party Apple Carplay head units available? Any recommended brands? Congrats. It's a good car and it will last that long.

QUOTE(dagnarus @ Jul 17 2015, 08:22 PM) Made 580km trip today balik kampung on a single tank with full load. Averaging 5.8l per 100km. Not bad. Arrived home with 2 bars left. The ride was smooth although there are some occasionally slow traffic. Top speed at 130km/h and I think averaging somewhere around 90-100 Damn good fc you got there. Cheers.

Hi, Anyone did alignment on your Almera ? How's the drive, is it straight or there is some free play like steering pointing to the left ?

[quote=willaw,Jul 31 2015, 12:03 AM] Did that today. Motor fan failure. Changed and all is fine. Nothing to do with engine. Fortunately still under warranty. No need to pay anything. [/quote Good job.

QUOTE(vodka @ Aug 4 2015, 11:02 AM) Err, did you have experience this o not and i'm not sure if its normal. Better check here first before I go to Service Center to complain: 1. When cold start (aft off engine for long time), and ON the air condition, i can hear a loud noise that the air cond is starting/started. 2. After the car is running i always hear a "tang" (a noise) i think is the radiator fan kick in (start) noise.. each time the radiator fan on / off, i can hear that noise, i guess it happen the whole journey. My Almeera is the lowest spec (manual air cond). Thank you Compressor kicks in my guess.

no worries about the rain drops on the Almera roof as a Honda CRV has similar sound effects.

Guys, How's your Almera's alignment ? Does your steering wheel pointed straight when moving straight forward or sways to the left or right ?
