Nissan Almera N16

From the outside, the Nissan Almera does not stand out with anything special, however, some of the amenities found on this vehicle make it very original.
There is a clever hanger for a shopping bag next to the front passenger seat. Small thing, and how it comes in handy sometimes. But that's not all. A bulky umbrella can be attached to the rear seat, which confirms the belief, that Nissan's design center in Europe is in the UK. In the trunk of the volume 355 dm3 there are nets that hold the packages. A focus on packages and nets suggests, that Almera is a traveling grocery bag for a housewife. This impression is not entirely true, because this car has a few others, more specific, advantages.
Nissan is renouncing its Japanese roots, advertising Almeria as the company's "most European" model. Europeans may be flattered by this, fortunately, the quality of workmanship and the materials used are of a high standard, according to the best Japanese patterns.
For Almera, gasoline engines with a capacity of 1,5 i 1,8 dm3, with power 66 i 84 kW. More powerful drive unit z 4 valves in the cylinder, the system of variable valve timing with ignition coils placed on the spark plugs is modern and worth recommending to the boss's wife. The maximum torque achieved at a relatively low number of revolutions allows sufficient acceleration times to be achieved, and this with a low noise level. At speed 100 km / h row noise 66 dB can be considered low, because most of the competitors are twice as loud. Only high fuel consumption in the city can discourage dynamic driving.
From a technical point of view, this vehicle stands out favorably from other cars in this segment. This is evidenced by, for example, a wisely resolved suspension. The car drives well, and the level of safety is increased by ABS systems, EBD (brake force regulator between front and rear axle) and BA (increases braking efficiency in emergency situations), installed in more expensive versions of equipment – Comfort High and Sport.
The modernized body of Almera gained expression, which the predecessor lacked. Perhaps the boss's wife will be convinced by the fact, that the hydraulically operated clutch works very easily, and the reverse gear is synchronized and does not scratch when engaged. There is nothing worse for a woman than struggling with the car.
