Almera hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Advantage to City

1) POWER
while almera have more torque on the wider rpm band, but it run out of power as soon as u hit 80km/h
if you mostly travel in town with speed not more than 70km/h then almera is good enough

2) Price
City top out at 86k , Almera high spec is 9xk

3) Space
Almera manage to let people thinks its big but not this time around
almera only measure 1380mm shoulder room on rear seat, mind you a new myvi measure 1450mm
boot space is smaller on almera too

4) Realibilty
Nissan have a terrible CVT reliability issue , you can join any xtrail or serena club , often you could see people claiming warranty for cvt

5) Better seat
While Nissan claim 0 gravity seat for almera, but it doesn't feel good when you actually sit on it ,its on the smaller side

6) less maintenance in long run
3 cyclinder car tend to be more shaky ma, so a good engine mounting is needed, thus when it spoiled the price could be hefty

7) better infotainment system
almera one lag here n there , obvious sia


Advantage to Almera
1) Torque
Almera will let you feel a gently push with most torque release on low rpm, city loose out abit on this

2) Advanced Safety
radar AEB is present on Almera which honda city V , E , S doesn't have . but it do come with slight problem as its Radar based, it only detect car not bike no pedestrian

3) big LCD meter
this meter really smashed honda gao gao, its clear its bright , with tons of information , city one analog design like shit

4) look better
I actually think almera look a tad prettier than city

5) FREE 5 YEAR SERVICE
this could easily save 5k or more


Nissan is build by TanChong , and their reputation is down to drain one So if you ask me i wont purchase almera even its cheaper than city

thats why on the first day already go molest the car

design issue kut, most new car rear board dont have anthing on it

it can be extendable .. i believe extend till december

Thanks for the update. How's the rear head room of the new City ?

worst than gm6 honda city
but better than almera,
Im 180cm tall and my hair is brushing the headliner for almera

how do you feel when seated at the rear of the new City? Head room and thigh support. Thanks.

Disregarding the size, what do you think of the City RS top spec vs Proton X50 flagship?

headroom definitely smaller than old GM6 city
thigh support is not so good for my height

Sadly i didnt have the chance to touch x50 yet

but here what i would rated x50 vs city

Looks - x50
interior perceived quality - x50
Feature - x50
Power - x50
Aftersales service - city
Space - city
Ease of access - city
Speed of repair - city

if you want power, X50 memang the best but bear in mind that x50 flagship will not come cheap , expected to be 110k ish +-
Design wise its definitely a looker, interior also look upmarket

The only thing to worry is the reliability of the car, Enter Chinese X70 group and you will be amazed by the all sort of issue face by the owner
but dont enter english or malay group one, the hardcore fans there will kick you out for posting issue with car

And if you bad luck encounter accident, parts availability is a hot issue with these Geely based Proton


For me X50 is for those who are willing to accept challenge
city is for average folks that wanna play safe

Sigh....

Headroom one tennis ball.
Legroom 3.5 tennis ball.

Yes the headroom is lower due to the sportier lowered look.

E spec got

2 tone alloy wheel - dont affect ur driving experience
Auto aircond - well i dont mind not having this. Already used to manual
8" screen - i dont mind this at all except not havibg reverse camera display
Cruise control - passive cruise control only relaxes your foot, not your mind. You will constantly worry about the speed when traffic suddenly busy. Its a good stuff for not busy traffic on highway
Paddle shift - i dont need this
Reverse cam - good to have. But i got used to look around, use sensor and reverse. That skill will be gone in the future generation
Remote engine start - i forsee another popular issue from this soon
Chrome door handle - don't affect driving


Thats all. Only reverse camera and cruise control will be missed. Others not so much. If you ask me. Not worth 8k

Yeah, the reverse cam is the only "really useful" addition. Other are nice to have stuff. Does the camera come with multi view and dynamic/moving guideline?

it does come with multiangle view but not sure about dynamic parking guide
one thing to note, this resolution of this camera is so low that i think a myvi reverse cam is better than this

Since S spec doesn't have the 8 inch touchscreen radio system. Can I install it ori one on it? How much does it usually cost?

Thanks, Bro.

install outside so much cheaper

Usually how much does it cost if install outside? An above average one that has Android Auto or can use waze?

Better verify with Honda. I think will void warranty

Of course it will.
