Advantages: Reliable, easy to drive, cheap to buy secondhand

Disadvantages: not enough space and poor street cred

this is a review of a P reg ie old model Almera bought in line with my car buying strategy - always second-hand and try for a car that is well on in its model life and rather unfashionable. The Almera had been around for 5 years or so, is built in Japan and mocked by motoring journalists and the trade depreciates it very fast.

Regularly serviced, it has been reliable and cheap to run. It does not have as much space inside as my previous car a Fiat Tipo but has been comfortable to drive. I do a lot of miles between London and North East Scotland - 1000 mile round trip and have clocked up 30,000 miles in 15 months.The radio is good. No aircon on this model at least.Notenough space for storage inside. Rear seats ok for room.

Nissans are consistently underrated as a very naff car driven by pensioners and fluffy dogs and dice people but the reality is that they are very well built and a pleasure to drive.

It will be interesting to see what Renault does to the company or the Nissan effect on Renault - Renault adds the style and Nissan the reliability?
