I was in desperate need of another car, my chitty chitty bang bang had literally dropped dead in front of my very eyes...
I was open minded as to what car to get next as my criteria was nothing out of the ordinary... respectable, reliable and not too juicy..
I am a woman in a car alone each day, driving a round trip of 35 miles per day through country lanes, and often in the dark.. I needed to feel safe.
Sadly I was not in the market for a new car, so it makes it harder to get the right one at the right price.. but I think I have found a great friend in my Nissan.
I bought a Nissan Almera for just under £2000, it is 8 years old and I was lucky enough to have a full MOT and 6 months tax..
All the old MOTs and service history came with the car... I believe I have landed myself with a diamond..
It is an automatic, 1.8 - ideally I would have gone for manual and smaller engine, but the whole package was just too good,
It drives like a new car, it doesn't show any signs of being a car heading towards 10 years old.
It has every optional extra - electric sun roof, air con, power assisted steering, air bags, cd radio, central locking... literally every optional extra. I don't know if this came as standard when new. The on board computer shows MPG, how many miles I have done, how many miles I have got left....
Boot space is superb...rear leg room, superb...

If I had to state a disadvantage it would be that the MPG could be better, I average between 30 and 35MPG,

Growing up I remember Datsuns had a bad name, now I am grown up I can see that Nissan have too, absolutely superb... love this car.
