Review: 2022 Nissan Almera VL Turbo N-Sport
It’s hard to like a sub-compact sedan, especially if it’s a Nissan Almera. Truth be told, with the number of choices in the market, it was hard to recommend. It was styled by Stevie Wonder, the interior sourced from Mattel, and the mechanicals engineered by Wile E. Coyote. Frankly, there were only two reasons to get one: either your company shot gunned you to drive one (Almera or walk, bucko) or you were lured in by the deep discounts. It’s the sort of car you’d park far away during high school reunions, or pretend it to be, of all things, a Toyota Vios as not to get disapproving looks at the bar. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t instill any sense of pride at all.
