    Test drove this car in Sitiawan. My son drove while I sat at the back. From the passenger's point of view. 1. Very quiet 2. Plenty of head and leg room, I am 6ft. 3. Comfortable, not bumpy even on uneven road. 4. No feel of vibration from the 3cyl engine. 5. Very quiet cvt even upon hard accleration. On the whole a 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍car.

      @Awie shuki test drove Vios grs, but the cabin is still quiet which NVH is pretty good too. Both Vios and Almera are quite good. But there is lack of spec that Almera don’t get. Almera doesn’t get AndroidAuto, Emergency Stop Signal and Lane Departure Warning. Besides, Almera gets LED Headlamps, 360 degree camera, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert came only for full spec while the rest of the variants lacks. Also, Almera cvt is also could be question on quality. While Vios does gets BSM, RCTA, 360 degree camera, AEB, Lane Departure Warning for three variants like Grs, G and E except for J variant. Even all variants for Vios does gets Emergency Stop Signal and LED Headlamps. Vios also quite smooth in the long run that uses their own cvt.

    If the current CVT-equipped Almera is really "drive-a-slow-car-fast" fun, I could imagine how further exciting the car would be with a manual transmission. Too bad, the current consumer demands don't favour the row-your-own gearbox in sedans.

      @@arx117 compare between City and Almera. Both launch just this year.
      Almera N18 owner drive for just a month, don’t see any problem on gearbox even though Jatco CVT still not reliable. City GN2 2020 owner drive for just a month, can see problems for Earth Dream CVT Gearbox.
      So which did you think it is better, even though both gearbox, Earth Dream CVT and Xtronic CVT are not as reliable as Aisin CVT?
      At least, this Xtronic CVT Almera N18 run smoother than Earth Dreams CVT Gearbox City 2020

    The NVH seems good. Like a calm cabin where Mr Khong need not increase his voice level whenever speaking. Speaks pretty calm. And seems rather less screeching noise at bends, not fast enough?

      It only has 100 PS, and the emphasis is always on smooth and fast, not about torturing the car. I suppose we can make the tyres squeal a bit but it wont necessarily be any faster.

      If you like manuals, yes, go for it. Manuals are more reliable and more fun to drive, except when you are stuck in traffic. So if you live in Manila, go for the auto. If not, the manual will be great. We don't get the manual here, sadly.
