Come on the Almera Owners Club and ask if we love or hate them? LOL!
Welcome, I see you're from South Wales, whereabouts? I'm at uni in Cardiff you see.

The new ones are certainly growing on me thanks to Ed and the guy with the supercharger/turbo. I will say, they look wads better with some subtle mods to even out the bulky shape, check out Eds. The 1.8's nippy too, around 110bhp I think. I do feel you're going to get a bias answer on here though lol. Saying that, most of the people have n15's.

Just chillin'

Another N16, woo hoo.
Welcome dude

Ignore that last post - bloody Peugeots !!! 
Welcome to the club Roger - I'll give you a biased opinion because I've got a 1.8 too, lol. I had no intention of buying an Almera at all until I saw it sitting on a forecourt last year. I thought 'Yep, I kinda like that & I'm sure it could be improved' & that's how it's turned out. Even if you keep it standard engine-wise, it's still a good car.
Any questions, just ask or hit the search button (becoming an AOC member pays for itself very quickly !).

Good point that, nothing better than getting to a tight corner and overtaking the Vectra VXR that roared past you on the straight.
Of course if you're feeling generous you can always stop a little down the road and help tow him out of the ditch
:lol:
HELP!!
Still enjoying my Almera - I seem to be having a problem either with the rear wheel bearing or brakes. Terrible noise and sometinmes it feels as though it's binding with excess heat from the wheel hub etc.
I've read somewhere that there is a common problem with the rear brakes and bearings - can anyone help and/or direct me to the appropriate part of the site where this topic is discussed.
Oh and it's definately about the handling - it goes exactly where you point it!!!!
cheers
