In 1995, the first-generation Nissan Almera replaced the Nissan Sunny. The Almera had an inconspicuous look, but beneath the faint exterior hides a great chassis that provides excellent driving characteristics and car handling. In terms of these features, it is perhaps the best car in its class. Like all Nissan cars are high quality and reliable. The Almera MK1 sold well in the UK, but still couldn’t match major competitors such as the Ford Escort, Opel Astra, Volkswagen Golf or even the Rover 200 and Peugeot 306. Those who bought the Almera koger were left satisfied with solid assembly, good reliability and handling.
