Well it's still new and the gear shifts needs some tuning as sometimes it goes over rpm without shifting the gear. Overall I'm satisfied

initially they wanted to bring in note, but got source in tan chong says that they are unable to price it competitively. Can't beat jazz in pricing, and thinks that most people would not want to spend on the amount given the specs. So drop it.
note that you saw is cbu imported. |

I installed it, steering is heavier and stiffer, turning it is more precise. The car feel very solid now. It had been a week, very huge difference, the car is no longer shaky when you drive through bumpy road. I also managed to run 120km/h in smart tunnel all the way. Before this i wouldnt dare because the car will be very bumpy and the cornering was weak. Now saving money for anti roll bar. ^^ worst come to worst better just go any reliable foreman to fix it |

I dont know how to describe, it is like no more longgar feeling when you are cornering and the car is not shaking after cornering. now speeding at highway when cornering body roll alot If you want to reduce body roll, the only thing to do is to lower your car, change the suspension or install anti roll bar.

Woohoo live update from sc puchong to check on the rear brake issue. Tested car together with technician from pj hq and puchong technician. I was driving and they manage to listen to the squeaking sound that I mentioned. So they say they want to check. Waited about 2 hours now the SA told me can't claim the rear drum because they have tested nothing wrong and this is the first time they encounter such problem. They rejected my rear brake warranty claim and ask me to continue drive see still have sound or not if have continue to complain to their customer service. KUDOS to these jokers ! Looks like I have to bear with the squeaking sound again

I dont know how to describe, it is like no more longgar feeling when you are cornering and the car is not shaking after cornering. Chassis foaming offer rm450 from front till end . Reduce body roll , solid car feel , tested proven . Door to door service available for klang valleyIf you want to reduce body roll, the only thing to do is to lower your car, change the suspension or install anti roll bar. |

But if i am not wrong the TCEAS Body & Repair only allow your claim if you buy insurance from them right?
Else we have to go outside of TCEAS to get our car repaired in the event of accident. |

But once a while will have.. I notice if you start your car maybe idle 1minute, then start driving for short distance and turn on your aircond sometimes eliminate the roaring sound. Do try it out Or else you will be facing same issue like me very soon, whole dashboard out to change the cooling coil  |

there are a lot of choices for B segment cars, why you choose Nissan Almera ??
for me, i chose because the full spec price is about the lowest spec for toyota vios and honda city. |

Haiyo. My car mcm banyak small issues.
I chose it cuz its cheap, and nissan has damn good nvh, and i nv own a nissan before. Also, the big leg room for the rear and really good sales assistant. I go honda and toyoto, no one bother to attend to me. Nissan, he immediately greeted me when i walked in. |

I bought it because it's cheaper, and affordable to maintain. While toyota and honda was also the consideration, I needed to fork more to maintain compared to nissan.
But after service service part is somewhat disappointing and meagre in quality. Got it from MUV and within 2 weeks, masuk kilang three times dee. My car was sent in for service today, tomorrow only can collect. Reason being is their protocol isn't convenient for both bearings to be replaced at once. (Need to lodge report and wait confirmation. But can go with one day replace one bearing. ????? i was told. so leave it there for a day since one bearing was replaced in the evening) |

I tried claiming both the wheel bearing one shot before, they say normally won't get through the claim. They always advise to claim one by one so that they don't have to write in a report.

And another one replaced next time |

QUOTE(a_dot_el @ Nov 16 2014, 06:22 PM) Hi all, Ok. Done service for 70k km.My Almera coming to 2 complete years. Bought in 2012 Dec.' Going to do my 70K service next week. Total damage RM500. Change engine oil and atf. Now super smooth. This is 80k service schedule but i ask them to bring forward cause i prefer to change my atf every 30k instead of 40k. I ask them to change the air filter but they say no need can last another 10k km. Loving this car!! Great millage and comfort. Next is to change my tyre. |

Or could it be the tyre problem? The Conti CC1 and CC5 that Nissan is giving is simply the worst tyre there is. Quality is not consistent at all and all is prone to problem. Mine got CC1, and out of 5 tyre (including spares) I already have 6 punctures. The same happen to my previous car, same route, using other brand no issues. The moment change to CC1, puncture here and there. |

They insist on giving the mineral oil, I have to argue with them to use semi Castrol Magnatec 10w30. Very lousy oil but SC don't have fully sync for 30 weight, they only have Castrol Fully Synthetic Edge 5w40. Too heavy. Now I already switch to Nissan Fully Synthetic 0w-20 (made by Idemitsu). This is the best oil for this engine so far, very quiet, free revving and no sluggishness detected even at 10K km. As for ATF, I insist on changing every 30K instead of 40K as per schedule. Other than that, everything else I follows SC recommendations. Tyre pressure is 230kpa as per recommendation. Aircond is auto, usually set between 20C and 23C. Petrol is mainly Petronas RON95 (giving me the best millage) or alternative Caltex RON95. I can't use Shell (results like yours about 350km per tank only and pickup is sluggish), the worst. Other petrol brand is in between. Never used RON97 or Vpower before. Driving style..... very subjective and irregular. No comment here. |

As with all petrol, you will need a few more tank to realise the benefits, also to help weed out the placebo effects.Now on petronas. Trying. Caltex seems to work as well as Petronas for me. So you may be on the right track to a better fuel economy. Try a couple more tank of Caltex before switching to Petronas and see how. All the best! |

QUOTE(beyond86 @ Nov 24 2014, 07:56 PM) If affordable, Ron 97 better, not only clean our engine, but can travel more This is a myth. Cleaning power comes from the petrol's additive and not the RON ratings. With RON97, you get fuel that can withstand higher compression before combustion, lower RON means easier to explode when compressed. You want fuel to combust when the spark plug ignites and not during compression. If your engine is able to take advantage of higher compression, then using RON97 will results in higher power and if it suits your driving style this will translate to better millage. If you think that your engine runs smoother and better on RON97, how about trying a mix between RON95 and RON97. Some users in other forum have run this with same results as using full RON97, but only mixing partial thus cheaper. |

Hi,
Currently driving Almera E spec. Plan to change tyres soon, currently using stock tyres Conti comfort contact cc5. 1) Should I change back to stock tyres? How much would it be per tyre? I am satisfied with the stock tyres but feel that can be more stable if get a bigger width tyres (195/60?) 2) If not, any recommendations of any other tyres? My main concern will be the cost as will be changing all 4 tyres at once. Hopefully around rm200 max per tyre. Wider and more stable tyres will be a plus point. Thanks! |

QUOTE(nismo87 @ Nov 25 2014, 08:07 AM) Me too, sometimes i wonder whehter vios/city performs better than almera. The car is not as quite as the first day. It is just 3 weeks old. Running into pot holes create knocking sound Knocking sound aside, Almera is quieter than Vios and City, and a whole lot more comfy. ..Get the knocking sound checked, ask to tighten the undercarriage, whatever that means. That is what the SC (Nissan PJ) told me when I complained about that and so far it never came back. |

QUOTE(douglas_tong @ Nov 25 2014, 12:11 PM) Just change my 2nd bearing (interval-ly to avoid tedious process of awaiting approval), came back with another unidentified sound. What is the symptom of faulty bearing? And what is the new unidentified sound?Plus I need to wait approximately 2 weeks for HQ to approve of fixing the problem of black oil leakage. T.T Super sad wei, barely a month and already need to standby for my 5th visit to sc. |

Heard many stories of forum and friends have to go through a lot of hassel getting warranty claim. Tan Chong prefer to repair than replace parts.Abit lazy to keep going back. Will wait till cannot tahan or 40k service. Experience with Honda, they are willing to change and replace parts to keep customers happy. |

QUOTE(a_dot_el @ Nov 25 2014, 10:35 PM) What is the symptom of faulty bearing? And what is the new unidentified sound? If bearing is cracked, you would probably hear sound from the tyre section.

For those facing issues with Tan Chong service center, please complaint and complaint big.
They are ranked 2nd (behind Toyota) in customer service index survey by JD Powers. Let's remind them to keep it up instead of letting it slide. Show them the power of consumer.  Service quality holds 38% of overall satisfaction and it is the biggest contribution. I think Tan Chong have done great in vehicle pick-up though.

Wah, everyday i come here all I read mostly are complaints
There seems to be the same recurring theme, but I really hope this happens in isolation. Only got the car for a few days, and obviously I'm very happy with the purchase. No complaints so far. |

Wow it seems like many problem....
Let's see what problem do I face with my Almera 1) Klok klok sound when going over uneven road. Happened twice, and both time resolved by SC. They say tighten undercarriage, whatever that means. If this happened again, I will raise hell at SC. 2) Minor scratch on the third quarter body when collecting car. SA check and provided free touch up service. 3) Reverse camera sometimes showing and sometimes not/flickering. Claimed warranty. 4) Radio got bzz sound from the head unit. Sounds like HU fan faulty. Claimed warranty. 5) Got one time car loose power, very sluggish. After check, found air filter clogged, complained coz less than 3000km after replacing air filter. After spray clean also the same. TC give a new replacement, power is back!! Other than that. So far so good. Loving this car. Great fuel economy. Comfy and can get you from point A to point B with ease and comfort and you arrived fresh. Maybe I got it first batch, so QC is a bit better. |

QUOTE(dagnarus @ Nov 27 2014, 10:39 PM) Wah, everyday i come here all I read mostly are complaints buying a new car suppose very happy.There seems to be the same recurring theme, but I really hope this happens in isolation. Only got the car for a few days, and obviously I'm very happy with the purchase. No complaints so far. for me, every time i look at it, feel sad... even complaint to HQ customer service also no use, then push back to sc since they said is technical problems. then sc sa told me the problems they already checked, everything OK... I went to sc about 8 times, none of problems are resolved, feel like wasting time and money.. i requested HQ to check at other sc, but they said u talk to previous sc first what is the problems. so every one taichi each other, problems never solve... while our mileage/car age keep increasing, that time sa will tell u this no more warranty, that no more warranty.. how smart & this is tan chong! for those consider to buy, think twice... |

Its been many months since i last posted here. My Almera already clocked 30K ++...Went to Jln Ipoh TCEAS few weeks back for 30k service...it was a Sunday so only normal service..cost bout Rm 300++...
As usual, they pour the 0-20 Nissan Fully Synthetic Oil..OEM is ELF/Total engine oil...Prior to this service,during 29K i tested on PLUS highway...190km/hr no problem..can still revv smoothly...A Volk Beetle was trailing me all the way... I do agreed that Almera doesnt give the best/claimed FC....mine is worse also.. But...I managed to clocked 700km/full tank 100% highway before...Those were the good days...most of the time I clocked 280-350km / full tank... I think main reason being the bad traffic in Klang Valley...Whenever i went outstation, mileage is 400-550km/full tank....Speed no less than 140km/hr.. During first 15k of driving Almera, my complaint was A-Z & 1- 99.....Now, i already get used to it...Its all about the driver anyway.. My advice: 1) Change d bloody ori RIM & TYRE...Countless time of near "buang car" Try 195-60-15..Change sport rim..Mine is 6.5 inch wide..It helps ALOT.. Keep the ORI RIM if u scare void warranty...I dont care anyway... 2) For uphill task/Genting....ALWAYS off O/D ...No nid 2nd or 4th gear.... For downhill....use 2nd gear all the way or off O/D for 3rd gear if u prefer abit more speed...No worry ur engine wont blow... 3) During cornering for speed above 100km/hr, u may off O/D just before d cornering for more fun...I lovessss high speed cornering...By pressing off O/D..it dowshift gear immediately...MAcam MANUAL...haha 4) My favourite petrol is BHP..Ron 95/97 also powerful...For more mileage can try Petronas...I stopped using thou...Dunwan support BeEnd...Tulan keep on increase price... 5) I been constantly surveying on how to made my rides better...in terms of engine oil, suspension..etc...But I told myself to bear with it until the end of WARRANTY... ALL BRAND will blame you for whateever malfunction... Anyway...its been a long write up..This is just my experience sharing with fella Almerians... DO NOT HATE ALMERA FOR WHAT OTHER SAID....LOVE IT FOR WHAT IT IS |

QUOTE(arrowhead7372 @ Nov 27 2014, 09:52 PM) My car also got that sound. When conpressor on for the first time. Didnt bother cuz my fc is more concerning. Its been like that since day 1....Seems like we all have that issue. I also notice, cold start, the belt has a high pitch squeeking sound. After warm up no more. U guys got? The only solution I been practising until now is.....Nvr ON ur A/C until d temperature bar is HALF....normaly it only tooks about 2-5 drive to goes up Half BAr... Then u can safely switch on A/C...the sound will either be less noticeable or none at all... Good luck.... |
