2016 Nissan Almera: what owners report

• The G15's 1.6 K4M engine uses a timing belt: Za Rulem gives a 60,000 km change interval, and one owner's belt failed at about 72,000 km.2012–2018
• Za Rulem calls the G15's DP2 four-speed automatic its weak link: noisy, slow and jerky, and sensitive to heat and hard starts; one owner says his shifts smoothly but has quirks.2012–2018
• Za Rulem reports that G15s built before 2015 had poorly welded front pillars that made the body creak, and that bodies built from 2013 to 2017 had uneven rear strut mounts that can cause knocks.2012–2017
• G15 owners note slow acceleration, a short first gear and a steering wheel without reach adjustment; Za Rulem adds weak sound insulation, which one owner fixed himself.2012–2018
