Is the Nissan Tiida safe?

What do you think of the 2011 Nissan Tiida 1.5d as a second car? Is it safe for family use?

Hi Adrian,

Safe? Well it should be as it's basically built on the same platform as the Qashqai, and that's a five-star car in the EuroNCAP safety tests. It should also be reliable as the day is long and pretty frugal too.

Aside from that though, it's pretty offensive to the eye in my opinion and about as exciting as a bucket of wet sand. There are other, far more interesting, options out there.
