2006 Nissan Tiida st from Australia and New Zealand - Comments

Absolutely Nothing... we travelled to Sydney and nothing went wrong we even checked the radiator and it was still full.

This must've been the best car I drove. it only chewed $58 one-way to Sydney. it is spacey and compact. it is quick and good.

Great to see you are happy with your Tiida. You are very lucky to get the Japanese Built version. I have one too and great car to drive and looks beautiful. One could do worse for the money and go Korean.

You would hope that the radiator still show a max reading on a brand new car??? let alone nothing go wrong with it!!!

I'm a 25 year old female who searched far and wide for my first brand new car. I found the Nissan Tiida the best car for the price of AUD 21,000.00.

Compared to the 2006 Corolla and the Honda Civic, the ride is absolutely smoother and it can absorb bumps on the road better than the two. The lowest priced in the range, the ST, has cruise control and 2 front airbags as standard equipment. The audio system is superb as well, and I didn't expect that from a Nissan!!!

However, the things I don't like are the wind-up windows and the lap-only seat belt at the middle rear seat. Power windows are optional in the ST, but standard in the more expensive in the range, ST-L. I guess I'd have to get power windows later on, then. But despite that, I've had no regrets. It's a very fuel efficient, nice looking, dependable small car for a reasonable price.

I don't understand the comment about the "Japanese Built car". It sounds like a fetish comment.

Nissan has a very good quality in all their factories. The Tiidas sold in Europe and in the USA are made in Mexico and are very well built. The factory in Mexico, since many years ago (decades) export a wide range of models too many countries. Many cars that have given Nissan its good name worldwide and receive very good quality / dependability/ reliability / assembly critics are made in factories from all over the world, and most specifically the ones in Mexico, as these are the ones where many cars sold in the USA are made.

If Nissan couldn't maintain a high standard in all their factories, it would be a crappy brand, like many others in the market.

After comparing and test driving different Japanese cars in the same price-category, I finally went for the Nissan Tiida

in September 2007. Driving a Tiida is a great experience every time again. The car drives smoothly and accelerates fast (even with a 1.6 liter engine). Inside the car there's lots of space and a great sound system.

My beauty is a full equipped automatic version with a black interior. The colour "Grey Amethyst"is unique in its kind!

A very happy Tiida driver.

I have purchased one, and in less than two years I am having transmission problems.

Had mine for close to four years. NOW MY LOCAL MAZDA DEALER wants me to sell the Tiida away and go back to him for a Mazda 3 closer to the time the warranty is expiring, which is June/July 2011; not sure what to do.
