Tiida - 5k service is AED 250. If it crosses the 60,000 kms mark, it becomes AED 185
Tiida - 10k service is AED 400. If it crosses the 60,000 kms mark, it becomes AED 275 or so.

I can't remember when, but I was entitled to 50% discount on parts, and 30% on labor, due to my FSH.

I personally wouldn't go for Nissan, although I am driving a Nissan for more 12 year. Simple reason I don't like post 2002 build quality, it has become more of American car, good for few years. If you care for power, given engine displacement, more than anything then NISSAN to go for.

And yes I have driven Tiida.

Just my opinion.

I chose a Tiida over a swift. Because of a lot of reasons the price comparison of wat u get. i got mine mid option 56k wid cruise n alloys. Swift midoption is 61k wid only alloys n stuff as add on n no cruise. Nissan WAYYYY BETTER service than Suzuki. Im toking after going to both the places for enquiring about both their cars. I got the BEST Service from Nissan before purchase, during delivery, and during servicing. The Tiida is economical and powerful at the sametime and spacious inside. I think the resale value of Tiida is better than Swift. I feel awesome for making the choice of TIIDA!! Tiida Rocks !! :D

P.S. Im not Working for Nissan or Al Rostamani, im just a happy nissan customer :D

Tiida for comfort, speed (faster than swift), spacious

Swift for looks i guess...and at high speeds (I feel the front is lifting and going to fly)

I have never driven the swift but i've driven my friends tida.
Tida
Drives good
smooth
spacious
doesnt need a body work to make it look good. Just lowering with good set of rims does the trick for tida.
Even long drives arent bad

Swift hatch -2011
UGLY!

Tiida 1.8 6-speed manual sounds like a good deal. I was considering it myself. But I couldn't find a used manual for sale.
