Summary
What does this car say about you?
I love this style of almera. It has become a sort of "Andrew" icon as I am 18 and it is not the kind of car you would expect from my circle of mates yet people still like it and are quietly suprised and impressed by how good it really is.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Not only do friends like it, despite probably not choosing it as its not usually an 18-20 year olds kind of car but my family are very impressed by it. it is very reliable which is attractive to the family.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Definitely!!
What are you likely to buy next?
Another 1 though I will keep this one running for as long as i can so things might have changed alot by then. and i would not get a newer style

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
A joy to drive!! Easy to drive and very responsive. She gives alot of feed back so you know exactly what she is going to do next.
What's it like to park?
Its easy to park once you get used to the rear window being quite high. You almost feel like your ontop of the car behind you. You get used to that though and it slots into spaces nicely.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No
What's most practical about your car?
It has a good size of a boot without turning into an estate and there is plenty room in the back too.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
A/C and a sunroof is unusual but great! the spoiler is a nice touch and the alloys that come with te slx as standard are pretty good
