The Nissan 1400 is a legend, The Brio, in its defence, although ugly has better perceived quality than the Etios, I have no words to describe how much I abhor the Etios, it is just becoming worse nowadays, I seem to be running into more of them with dents all over the body, misaligned panels and broken lights.

Well to be fair, the dents does give it more of a shape and better looking

Go with the Honda. Stay away from Suzuki. They make great bikes but terrible cars - they fall apart after a few years.

"The Suzuki Swift also does well according to ReliabilityIndex. They have a rating of good and a reliability index of 71. Many owners have given the Suzuki Swift full marks on AutoExpress for their dependability as well, so the Swift is a good option if you are looking for a city car that won’t let you down.
If we also look at what other owners have to say about Suzuki’s dependability as a whole, then the feedback is also very positive. On AutoExpress, Suzuki receive an average of 4/5 for reliability.
Overall, it appears that Suzuki are a great option if you want a manufacturer you can count on. "

As a Nissan 1400 owner, both of you don't know what you are talking about. They are actually really good reliable little vehicles if maintained and looked after and way better quality than the plastic little sardine cans being sold today.

100% agree, although to be fair

id rather be in its replacement (Np200) in an accident than a Nissan 1400

Oh LOL, apologies then but yea Etios is a tin can

I wouldn't consider the NP200 a replacement to a 1400, its got a Renault engine and is not reliable at all but yea from a safety point, airbags would be nice LOL. Bantam or Chev corsa would be a much better option over the Np200.

ok, what about a plain jane corolla, even a quest if you had to.

In general i would take a corolla over an etios any day. Even an older model corolla, super cheap to maintain and extremely reliable but people want ridiculous money for them in decent condition.

If you choose either of those cars take them to an AA Assessment Centre for a full check before signing any of the papers.

I have been burned before and after that have taken prospecting cars to them to check, even if you do buy a second hand car from a dealer

I read somewhwre that these assessments are actually useless? Have you been helped by them?

If they lift the car up and check then they are very useful, especially with today's engine covers and tight space in the engine bay.

 

[Binary_Bark]

I read somewhere that these assessments are actually useless? Have you been helped by them?

Yes, yes they have been very helpful.
It is better to have them check the car and have the dealer fix any problems they pick up beforehand, rather than getting stuffed and having to fix things out of your own pocket
