The Nissan Tiida may have replaced the popular Pulsar in 2006, but it was not big enough to fill the latter's shoes, sharing its platform with the smaller Renault Clio/Nissan Micra.
Sales were sluggish until Nissan reduced the initial high prices down to bargain-basement levels. Truth be told, the Tiida is an underrated small car, being easy to drive, comfortable, spacious, lively, economical and agile.
The rebodied restyle from 2013 was rebadged Pulsar to increase the Thai-made series' appeal, but that also struggled, with Nissan abandoning the segment by 2017. The cheapest grade starts from $9,985, rising to $11,990 for the most expensive version.
