Perths Sleeping Beauties

At $3000 (with manual transmission), there's not much around to touch it. You won't get either of those features in even Hyundai's i30 SX, the car in the Korean importer's range that currently comes closest to the Tiida for size, price and general specification. 14,500 km per year has her sitting at 228,ooo kms and rego is due next month.
There is more than adequate head and legroom for adults, front and rear. With a relatively high H-point, ease of access is a given. Doors are light and easy to close securely.
For its size -- and particularly height -- the Tiida is more agile than expected. There is some body roll, but less than anticipated and the car turned out quite nippy. Little to no understeer, turn-in that was responsive for a car such as this and the communicative feedback through the steering wheel were all welcome. As with other (larger) Nissans, there was no twitchiness about the Tiida in a corner, it was quite dependable.
The Tiida's engine provides decent torque at lower revs and in the mid-range. In fact, it is more about the torque than the power. There are other small cars (and a couple of light cars too) that provide stronger straight-line performance than the Tiida, but the Nissan is easy to drive and requires little thrashing to get up to speed. That's a particularly appropriate word to use too -- 'thrashing'.
Fortunately, the six-speed manual box provides very well-spaced ratios to suit the engine's temperament. With the final drive, first gear and the engine all working in unison, the Tiida whips away from a standing start but as we've found with another car of similar size in the past, the acceleration in intermediate gears drops away.
Headlights proved very good during night driving. Low beams were surprisingly capable for a car as inexpensive as this one and, frankly, rated better than the headlights of at least one homegrown large car, in my experience.
Car used for transport to and from town from the farm in Burekup, has the normal clear coat fade on the roof, boot and bonnet. A wrap of about a grand would bring her back to new, fantastic starter car or cheap runabout and at $3k a screaming bargain
