I wonder hmmm but this seems to be the impul version wonder if you could make a regular tiida look like the impul?

ED if you could find a mint Almera that would be my choice.
What's your budget? I guessing 40-45k?

And well we had a tiida in the family 240k kms and going strong, was bought f/used with 25l on odo.
Bone stock except for 16" rims because they were just laying around home.
with usual tune ups and fluid changes in ample time it was reliable.
i believe so far was 2 set of shocks, 3 sets of brake pads. Rack end and mount rubbers about 3 times as well...The AC blower motor did fail, easy replacement. Used np oil, ngk plugs, original nissan tranny fluid, honda coolant (i like it cuz its blue lol). We do follow preventative maintenance, 5-7000 km service interval and then suspension check ups whenever we hear a lil noise
Just take ure time because at high speeds it's a bit squirrelly,choose your rims and tyres carefully.

@nick639v2
Yeah Almera small lights is also on my list but wanted to get a car where parts would be cheap and easy to find in up to 10 years from now, was planning on using this car for Taxi Work. I know Almera parts cheap now and they look beautiful and can be modded easily for styling but not sure how it would hold out in the long run for parts when compared to TIIDA
Was also told TIIDA burns less gas with AC on than the Almera
I should have the full amount of money by the end of the year so was doing a lil research on it all now so. But yeah wanna work for myself soon doing my taxi gig.

Yeah was probably going to buy ah old pickup for that but the trees still 3 to 4 years away from bearing. You right though that drop low might fail for taxi wuk lol
How B14 parts going these days though? and what of the possibility on a CNG B14 conversion and price? or an Almera CNG conversion and price? is the lower cost of CNG worth it for the conversion?

Have my tiida 6 yrs now and I try my best where possible to buy genuine nissan parts after getting problems with aftermarket parts. Imo the older nissan cars are more sturdy. Nissan buying over Renault and merging it into their business was the worst thing they could've done.
