    Today, I saw a Nissan I didn't know existed

    Sat behind a 2009 Nissan Tiida today.

    A what ?



    I'm guessing it some JDM only thing...

    You sure it's not a Tilda? Now that would be a "ricer's" dream

    Although it has not been officially launched in the United Kingdom, some cars destined for the Irish market have been sold in the UK by Arnold Clark dealerships as grey imports since March 2009
    It was an Almera/Sunny replacement in Japan

    First thing I thought lol

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    Never knew you didn't have these in the UK, the saloon is even more appalling



    But then again I'm sure there are plenty of brands and models that don't make it to Ireland (e.g. proton) so we can't really give out that the Tiida slipped through the net

    We see quite a few of them over here actually. Our downtrodden economy needs small cheap cars...

    Is there an unsee button? I'd quite like to have not clicked on this thread, what an awful car.

    Have to say, that Pulsar looks pretty awesome considering all the generic 'it's-been-drawn-with-a-ruler' crud that seems to be norm nowadays.
