recommendation for a sub compact sedan

[jut703]

Very true. But then that sort of output seems to be expected from a subcompact of the 90s.

I never thought of the Almera's arse to look like a whale... until now. The sides look very slab-sided. Its brother the Bluebird Sylphy employs the same design concept and yet pulls it off much much better.

I think it's because designers emphasized on maximizing rear space, which is why the Almera's rear proportions look elongated compared to the rest of the car.
