Have you had any problems with the car?

Reliable for almost four years, BUT, recently the electrical harness corroded, resulting in the vehicle being immobilised by the side of the road and twice needing to be towed to the Agents for repair. Agent checked immobilise, Engine Managemsnt etc, but eventually found many wires corroded in the electrical harness. Expensive to find and correct, over £800 Nissan say such fauklts are to be exopected on a vehicle of the age. Other Almera owneres may need to be aware of such possible harness corrosion. There is no maintenance or anticipation possible.

What's most practical about your car?

It is light to drive.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Very few on the 'S' version.
