| Totale Notering |
 |
| Beschrijving |
| This Almera looks sharper than the deadly dull 1995-00 range and does nothing badly. But it lacks the image and presence to take on class leaders like Focus and 307. |

| The best things about this second generation Almera are low used prices (even at Nissan dealerships), safety and an excellent reliability record. These points alone may sway the value-conscious buyer who doesn't expect too much and doesn't care about the car's lack of character. To tempt new car buyers, Nissan pack lots of equipment into Almera, even on lower spec models (although older E versions lack air con). SE+ and Sport+ have lots of toys for the money. Handling is quite crisp (though the Sport is hardly a hot hatchback), but ride is indifferent on all but the smoothest roads. Rear legroom could be better; and loud 1.5 and 2.2 turbodiesel engines further compromise comfort. Engines are lively enough; all are economical. The keen high-mileage driver might consider the swift yet fuel-sipping 134 bhp 2.2 dCi: it does 0-60 mph in under 10 seconds, yet can give nearly 50 mpg. |
| Positieve punten |
- Discounted new prices, low used values
- Good equipment; air con on all except E models
- Above-average reliability, sensible running costs
|
| Negatieve punten |
- Many rivals are roomier and more refined
- Will continue to lose value steadily
- Unassuming looks do it no favours
