    Good Points: Perfect reliability. Only fitted pads and exhaust.

    Bad Points: Alarm sometimes plays up when it rains but only on limited occasions.

    General comments: I fitted a t28 Turbo 2 years ago and it flies. Just shows how reliable it is as even with the turbo punching close to 240 brake it never lets me down. Its up 4 grabs at around 2K.

    Had my Nissan Almera GTi for just over a year and the only problem ive had with the car is the air blower resistor fuse went but was easily replaced, other than that it is totally reliable and fun to drive. You can pick a good one up for around 1500 which I think is brilliant value for money and I dont think you would find anything as quick and fun to drive for that.

    I have only had my Nissan Almera for 5 weeks and I'm hooked its a real joy to drive great torque through 1st to 3rd bit sluggish through 4th and 5th but there is nothing else bad to say about the car it attracts a lot of attention I like the fact that its quite rare and it better than going down the usual route of Saxo VTS's or 106 GTIs great reliability great engine all round would well recommend buying one.

    I've had the Nissan Almera GTi for a year now and am very happy with it. It's a 1999 (T plate) Gti model that I got with FSH and 52K on the clock for £1,850! It's got a great level of equipment - a/c, elec tilt/slide s/roof, c/locking, abs, airbag, electric windows + mirrors, comp, etc - and drives brilliantly. The handling is superb - along the twisties it's happy, and offers predictable, stable handling allowing for rapid driving without the stress. It's more of a 'quite-quick' car rathe ...

    I have had a Golf GTi MK2 and always had VW's. I got the Nissan Almera GTi for £1,800 on a R plate with 63,000 miles. It is mint I think it handles better than the Golf GTi and seems faster as well. People should not pull the car down this car is a wolf in sheeps clothing I can say I will not be buying a Golf GTi again, after I have driven this.

    I was in the market for a VR6 but to find a decent one that has not been thrashed you will be very lucky indeed. I decided to look elsewhere after seeing one too many hammered Golf's and a colleague of mine recommended an Almera GTi as he had owned one for 5 trouble free years. I had a look around and found they were pretty cheap and not too hard to find. I bought mine in May 2004 and within 6 days had picked up my first speeding ticket in 9 years of driving - it is hard not to drive the car fas ...

    My Nissan Almera GTi has been very reliable and economical since buying this beast. Slightly modified and kicking out about 160bhp and tops out at 140mph. Handles very well and can beat bigger, more expensive cars off the lights. Buy one now.

    I've had my Nissan Almera GTi for 1.5 years and it still gives me a buzz when I get in. Its great fun on the open road, has really good handling and is powerful enough to show up much more expensive and glamorous cars. If driven hard (which is irresistable) the petrol consumption is high. Other reviewers have said 18K for tyres, I got 23K on one set but they came off looking like slicks (failed MOT on tyres). 140+bhp through the front tyres does work them hard. Image is its only downfall, mos ...

    I've had a 97 Almera GTi for 3 years. Great car, never had a reliability problem with it. In fact the only things I've had go wrong are the Alarm (needed a new Alarm Control Unit) and at the moment I've got probs with the central locking. It keeps locking and unlocking, even when you're driving. Nissan reckon it needs new actuators but a mechanic mate of mine doesn't reckon they're causing the problem. Anyone know if it could be the Alarm Control unit again? Does this also control the cent ...

    I am typically a golf gti man- had 10 of them ranging from mk 2 8v, 16v, Mk3 16v, vr6. And i bought the Nissan Almera GTI after my vr6 was costing me too much to run and for the moment i need something cheap with low mileage that wasnt going to give me hassle, it had to be quick, and look nice enough. My shortlist came down to Ibiza cupra 16v, another Golf GTI 16v (with high mileage and older), citroen xsara VTR/VTS (only cos of the age thing!) or the almera. After many weeks and months trying t ...

    I've had my '97 GTI for over a year. Its got the full body kit and in racing red. Its an eye turner! Performance and handling are great. Allows me to remain in control with the sure handling. Have driven over 30k in this year and other than a slightly weeping oil pressure switch its been trouble free. I've used 2 sets of front tyres for the 30K, not sure if this is good or average considering its a car you want to drive hard. I'm very pleased with it. I wish Nissan brought out a new GTI version ...

    My Nissan Almera GTI has just got through another MOT without costing a thing. I always worry that something expensive is going to go wrong but it never does. I have been looking at other cars over the past few months on the advice of the accountant. Each time I get back from a test drive - Celica VVT, Leon 180 VT, Clio 172, Civic type R, Focus 170ST - and drive the Almera I think to myself - why bother with the expense of changing. The Nissan seems to be just as fast as many and handles better ...

    Had the Nissan Almera GTI for two years now, needed three sets of new tyres. Its faster than my mates Golf and 205, 206 GTI's and a TT. Get one and there cheap as chips.
