We love the Nissan Almera here at the WapCar office though it is a shame that the previous generation’s faults cast a shadow that hangs behind what is one of the most comfortable B-segment sedan models in the market. It is also quite an efficient car as seen in our reviews but Nissan wanted to prove it in the real world too. So over the weekend, it invited 20 Almera owners and 10 media teams to take part in the 2024 Nissan Almera Lightfoot Challenge. The challenge was to see which team could rec
