Drove a Tiida today - and tomorrow unfortunately

[More revs]

Wifes car is in for a service so I have to take it in sheesh!

Anyways the loaner car they gave me is a new Nissan Tiida. On paper it looks kinda ok but pleeeeease give me a break.

These things are years behind what Ford have with the Focus in terms of dynamics. I mean you can feel the conservative cororate smothering blandness dripping off every engineering detail on the thing. Somewhere a pile of engineers tried real hard but the beanies won again.

Not that its a BAD car but its like driving a brown cardigan.

Anyhow I'm off to do some skids in the Focus...

I've driven a few myself,and would agree.They're not the most inspiring drive in the small car class.

If you park it on the side of the road in the dirt hooled up to a tailer with half a tonne of mulch in the trailer and then dump the clutch. It rips a nice skid :
