almera looks the best
vios got full adas
city look kinda bulky, most powerful, but no adas not counting RS.

So is the almera gooding? any real owner here can give some cons of the car?

isn't almera have the shittiest resale value out there?

takyah pening takyah susah

angkat je sudah

al-merah wheel bearing issue settle?

yaris

currently eyeing for sedan only so Yaris is not in the consideration.

The Vios here is actually Yaris sedan. You can see this everywhere in Thailand

city has came a long way since their previous models...
I borrowed from my brother and drove for a month and didnt have much expectations around the car but later found out it was quite smooth and the best thing is that it is really fuel saving..

vios je

old one has a/c problem
new one...that engine bay

I tot even Persona a better buy than Almari lol

The best practice now is to ask how long is the waiting period. Quality wise, about the same

my fren asked me to stay away from almera model due to a/c issue (old gen). repair many time at sc still cant fix.

i drove 2012 city and im not enjoying it. the engine was ok but rattling sound is everywhere.

i prefer vios. the drive was comfort and nothing much to complain other than the ugly dashboard.

Is is that much of a difference between the current City and the last gen City?
Does the new city ride better? more powerfull?, though on paper it's number does not chg all that much.

Budget category! U can’t be fussy! Serve it’s purpose.

for me vios really tak boleh lah, i cannot tahan how tight and unpractical the space is in the car, the shoulder length is too tight (literally shoulder to shoulder for the driver and front passenger), and not much space around the driver to put stuff. arm rest also is placed weirdly, its protruding at the back, and you cant really rest your arm on it.

on a sidenote i went to pauline event yesterday and enquire almera also, actually alot of gooding deals for it now, for almera now got:

sales tax exemption + 2k discount for middle & high spec (low spec is 6k off lol) + 3k additional discount if you trade in your old car directly with them + 5.5k worth of free accessories (the urban package i think) + 3 year free service.

so if you want almera now is good time to buy, got ready stock as well.

Main problem with Almera + Tan Chong

adas only useful for retards, so..

Engine bay problem? engine bay too empty?

i driving almera 2017 make.. i dont see any aircon issue also... so far i like nissan car aircon very cold enough.... i did regular maint of my car via nissan service center.. i rather change ori parts then sent outside dont know what parts they give... anyway almera new version with turbo so tempting but my car i bought in 2019 still new leh.. so now change also not worth it... tempting...

mind you almera full spec also got adas and all the passive safety feature like blind spot monitor, lane departure etc.

new city look disproportionate to me, like persona the tyre too small. previous gen city look nicer to me

You should probably look up reviews or ask in the Almera thread in F&F. Most opinions here will likely be shaped by the prevailing perceptions around the previous generation Almera.

i test drive the almera yesterday, the seat so comfy, the ride and nvh feel like c segment car. best part is the acceleration, i was so surprised at the engine sound the note it produce sounds damn nice not like my myvi now sound like dying whale

Yes for me best looking among the 3. Huge improvement compared to previous almera in many area. Support TS go for almera.

almera 1.0 turbo come with tyre 215/55/16.

what else u want?

u got power, cheap road tax, space and big tyre

you must be feeling special since you're the only one driving the latest gen almari OTR compared to all the new gen city and vios OTR

1,0 litter + turbo and 3 cyclinder u get same power as 1.5liter car only the turbo kick in give u power acceleration but feeling.
it was the most silence car amoung vios and city , engine bay damm messiy u dun wanna go outsode to service foremen will angry 😂

heart says almera

brain says vios

new city burukkk

Ada H ada Awek.
Ada BMW ada mistress.

Toyota geng check in

So many sohai otr , domt have this...... susah la

big tyre expensib

Myvi

expensive but look sports bro.
if u want cheaper i suggest u buy viva 660.

Almera got apple car play ,but tade android auto

Wait for 2021 MC2 Persona. But only buy it if they get rid of the stupid penumbuk CVT

You forgot new almera is cvt.
Old almera was reliable cause it had a 4 speed

dude, this 3 sentence sums up my thought 100%

im actually worry bout the nissan after sales, toyota after sales is as good and honda, well lets just say when the time to book service always need to be 2 or 3 weeks advance book( had a honda in my parent home)

almari ftw

why foreman will angry? they make parts easily accessible (most of the piping were on top of the engine), thats why looks messy.

Stay away from NISSAN cars. I learnt it the hard way. NISSAN's engineering is nowhere close to Toyota's. Almera's resale value is the worst among the 3 cars too.

Buy a VIOS la if you really want reliability.

Ya ya
Get Vios for peace of mind

but nissan have more experience making high performance car, even toyota outsource engineering effort from bmw to make new supra, while for GT86 or the upcoming GR86 it is mostly subaru stuff

why?
look sport can eat one ah?

Really bodoh statement! TS asked for a Supra is it?

they also engineer the jatco shit cvts
haha
and they also did that sucky le mans front engine turkey.
toyota LMP1 hybrid actually won Le Mans.
celica GT4 world rally winner.
so what nissan sportscar engineering you talking about?

This post has been edited by dickybird: Apr 19 2021, 11:39 AM

because the engineering work made on the high performance stuff can be bring to normal consumer stuff.
you compared la 2nr-fe and hr10det, multiple generation different when it come to technology.

ya ya we know jetco cvt sucks

Price wise and segment lebih kurang the same, Buy whichever convenient for you to service and most importantly which one you feel better and want to drive in.

why you dont want buy pelodua ativa?

online all rave about almera being the best new contender
but owning one ??

see the sales report then u know lor
almera vios city all new gen / facelift
but u got see how many almera on the road ??
vios n city is plentiful

almera have great design but not so great track record, their lousy cvt is one of the worst cvt u can get on market beside punch LOL

my frenz hav almera as company car, after 7 year that speed langsung x boleh, even have do all maintenance, also samething, for new almera not sure will become back same issue or not

eyeing for sedan, so Ativa is not currently on the list

yaya hr10det is more recent but where got more tech beside the turbo

2nr can serve u without issue for few hundred k km but can the 3 cylinder do the same ?
the mounting, the turbo, the famous jatco cvt all is a time bomb
if i were to spend so much on a 1.0T , why not just get a x50 when x50 offer much more power yet same worried down the road

bro shoulder to shoulder is a segment problem. go for c segment if you want wider car for shoulder room. city is the widest 1745mm vios 1730mm. 1.5 cm different not sure that is significant.

Have you test drive all 3 types?

can. if u want.
i am no problem if u want to eat them.

in the mid 2010s Almera is the go-to choice for freshie just entering the workforce around Klang Valley area. Pgi mana2 tgk bf-gf around oso one of them sure driving an Almera.

almera got turbo
but ratltling sound is true

Since u compare an everyday car bersamaan a brand's flagship sports car
Is an Almera designed and built from the same manufacturing line as a GT-R?

legit question.

well, daihatsu design 3 cylinder engine is very reliable wat. not really sure if other manufacturer came give something close to that.

okay for technology, i got it wrong, hr10det dont have vc-turbo or direct injection.

This post has been edited by zerorating: Apr 19 2021, 12:04 PM

no, but research material/design and manufacturing technique can be shared across multiple engineering team, it just whether they can drop the manufacturing cost or make it more reliable or not.

Fellow /k will tell u Tan Chong is the problem.

i am aware of that but what i mean by the vios being tight is more of how the interior is packaged. city and almera does it miles better and is in the acceptable range as a b segment but the vios' interior packaging for some reason doesnt do it for me, cause dimension wise they are on par with the other competitors but things are abit too tight inside from my personal experience

This post has been edited by adriankan: Apr 19 2021, 12:05 PM

piping kacau he put his head to see bottom , most outside workshop formen are lazy to put car to lift up some has only limited lifting facility , have to jack car up and check at bottom.

Tan Chong cannot be to aggressive. Otherwise the M will not be happy.

hah, those spec sheet will target people like u
interior shoulder room data is the more important and will not be disclose
exterior width is misleading at its best

C segment like altis look big on data but infact super small even the mazda 3 is wider inside

Why not consider perodua bezza?

Its a sedan and is as reliable as toyota

Parts is cheap too.

UMW lagi big problem
gift TV as HUD while other country slim display

they dont understand one
like x50 claim 1800 mm width , sit inside its not even wider than city inside
exterior width is tipu kuat as most manufacturer is using the width to do styling instead giving more interior space

actually is toyota issue rather than umw issue

many country suffer the same fate as us, getting the big ugly crt tv instead of the european/us model which get those normal slim screen

so join fb group of almera, get some info on it's realiability, fc etc..

then make ur decision

Bezza is a class lower. Bumpy car. Runs out of breath after 110kmh too and sounds so loud

yeah makes sense it can be shared. So has it been shared?

P1 own by China co

you think Persona won't change from Penumbuk CVT also own by China co ?

Punch not from Belgium?

almera for the looks
vios for the reliability and affordability
city for the brands

Even my old Nissan sentra n16 can beat them all.

Same old chassis as previous.
Pauline shootout betweem the 3 showed it to be lousiest of the 3.
So sporty tyres look, best to be eaten.
Haha
Coz it ain't good for nothing else.

Why not ativa? Full safety features

I'm surprised so many consumers don't understand or take note of these things. The most popular common cars like myvi and vios, though good and reliable they are fundamentally worst cars compared to competitors if you look at it from a day to day practical perspective. I mean that in terms of giving you the comfort and enough spaces to put your daily things like your water bottles or keys or whatnot.

Or I'm just the kind that is quite picky and ocd idk

Top up buy civic la

Mazda 2

1.0 turbo like city? Good torque for overtake despite low top speed iinm

Thought fr holland ?

But i know china bought over

city not 1.0 and no turbo not 3 cyclinder
City this time use back DOHC Vtech

city look like saga la

myvi je
King of the road
even Fortuner lose to myvi

test drove almera at the pauline ace event yesterday .. nvh gooding, better than x50, x50 even 50-60kmh got wind noise already.. handling wise also better as it is a sedan ..

only the highest spec worth getting though

Using Almera VL for few years already. So far, the only major repair involve replacement of air-cond evaporator leaking. At that time compared space and ease of egress (rear passenger) between Vios, Almera and City. Almera offered the best on both counts. The only thing I found wanting is the body roll. Taken both Almera and Vios thru the highway exit into Senai. The road is curved and got speed strips. Vios provided best cornering and precise steering control, while Almera I had to slow down a bit. Tips: if you chose Almera, go easy on it until 40k km. It's fine to speed even before that but sometimes you feel geram because the engine responded mildly. After 40k km, the engine will become more garang (just a tiny bit more hehe).

Owner of the old almera as well. Bought it when launched 2013.

Using till today. Steady car. Only issues were wheel bearing which I claimed warranty from Nissan, and Air cond which can be fixed anywhere.

Touch wood. No major issues till today.

Big leg room for passengers. Big boot for my shit. No complaints. Definitely not a sports car so don't drive like one.

Can eat siham

Almera win the vote but i only saw Almera twice (i think same car). Meanwhile City and Vios bersepah. Real proof you can't trust the internet

I did test drive the Almera when my friend wanted to buy new car.

I liked it. The throttle response is good.

Depending on how much clothes you have

Topkek gear box

No myvi. How to vote?!
