the latest Almera is arguably on par if not better than City or Vios.... its just back to the main issue of Tan Chong's lazy marketing, subpar aftersales and most importantly our market general mentality of not willing to step out from the comfort zone unless its something that offers more for significantly less

the only brand that could possibly make a major dent to H and T sales in the future would be a Chinese brand

I went to UMW, Honda and Tan Chong to view Vios, City and Almera. Toyota and Honda sales people immediately come and service you and they let you test drive and basically try very hard to sell their car. Tan Chong salesman didn’t care and when asked can test drive, they say have to make appointment. At the end I test drive my friend Almera and it’s comparable to Vios and City.

i got no personal experience but tbh I've never seen anything good to come out from other people when it comes to TC's service lol

also the fact that Nissan is well known for their CVT issues and what's worse was they use it in literally every car save for a few high end ones
*
Could you please inform me about the CVT issues faced by Nissan vehicles, including the Nissan Almera?

I also rented Almera when I went to Langkawi recently, albeit the previous 1.5L gen
somehow Almera is popular in Langkawi, it's everywhere!
