Introduced in early 2000, the second-generation Nissan Almera differs from its predecessor in its gentle, curved lines. While there are those who believe that the design of the car is blank compared to the competitors, the new Almera has been well sold all over the world. The N16 Almera is manufactured on Nissan’s global MS platform developed after Nissan began partnering with Renault. This platform is the basis for both the new Primera and Almera Tino. The N16 Almera is better controlled, more confident on the road and more dynamic than the old one, even today it is considered to be one of the best managed small family cars on the market, among other things being very reliable and high quality. However, unlike the previous Almera, this generation model has less space for rear passenger legs, this is due to the fact that the car has a smaller than average wheelbase in its class - 2.53 meters. Almera has also received new 1.5-liter turbodiesel engines from the Renault Megane II, the first exchange of mechanical parts between Nissan and Renault.
Little space at the back, from the 2.2 engine would like more power
Car description
When buying this car, there was one requirement: to keep the head as little as possible (this indicates reliability, theft, etc.) Well, it is known to be as new as possible.Pravazineta more than 100k km in 5 years (when bought was 170k, made in 2000) .The atypical fault was probably that the immobilizer struck. The car had a hard time and at first it seemed that the pump had struck. It uncoupled over 400 Lt. Also once the loser left side spring, strange one side bearing and "grenade". to replace the heating candles, which cost after 90 Lt.Next only freon AC, lubricants and filters-pyleme Elf Turbo diesel, where 5L close to 100 costs, and pouring 4.7L, filter 20, pads, the prices of which I will not tell now.You have to decide whether it is expensive , or not. Almera was driven on both snowmobiles and forest roads, as we tried to travel around nature on weekends, but there was no need to change more money on the chassis than listed above. This is confirmed by various magazines, including AutoBild. uri read here that there is a lack of excitement, fires, etc., and then it turns out that you drive 1.5 versions ... Yes, here is not a BMW, but driving is fun.One of the biggest drawbacks is that there are really very few at the end of the place.Children are tolerated, but when adults find themselves on a further trip, there is really no need to seat three people there ... As for the dashboard, it is really simple and clear, although after moving to a better car, it now looks poor.
Performance
As written in the name, I had a 2.2D 81kw version. The power was disturbing, especially when people were completely stuck. Then the curves could be forgotten. After the initial purchase, several people drove and during the misunderstanding instead of every 10k km the lubricants were changed only after 20k. dry ".At least so rode the gauge.But nothing-another 80k km and the engine about the previous damage done to him is not reminiscent.Even more gratifying is that here in the gandin, so the castes are even smaller.
Reliability, running costs
The fuel consumption was similar to the technical data sheets. I usually printed a little over 110 highways, it burned ~ 6L. When I pressed in the city, the 7.5L was really available. All other costs / expenses are listed above. The payment was 16k Lt.
