Nissan Almera Hatchback (95-00) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1995 Billed as the car 'they don't want you to drive' and 'they' nearly got their way too, as the Almera was always an underrated and overlooked small family car. However beneath that bland exterior you'll find a well-tuned, sporty chassis and some lively engines. The Almera is inexpensive to buy, and the larger engined versions are excellent value for money. It is a thoroughly competent all-rounder, practical and spacious enough to suit a small family with very impressive reliability, but even the GTi is hardly inspirational. 3 out of 5 Other Nissan reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3.5 out of 5 Buying used Most buyers look after their Almeras, which makes it a car you can be confident in buying used although that doesn't mean you should overlook the usual checkpoints. GTi versions were quite popular with the speed demon fraternity, so check that it hasn't been modified or abused.
