hello all,
I'm sick of renting and need to buy a small-ish car. I'm considering a nissan tiida or a toyota corolla and would appreciate feedback from people who know a bit more about cars than me! I'm tossing up between new/used (I know the nissan tiida is probably only available new - but that's what I've been driving round as a hire car since arriving 6 weeks ago). A key decider will be parts - are both fine for getting replacement parts? Any help much appreciated... and if you have other suggestions 1.6l - 2.0l) I should consider, I'd be grateful 
thx

Well, I have to admit, I can vouch for Nissan.
Both will have a really good re-sale value in Brisbane. They are both a "good choice" for most of the population here in Brisbane. 
Your best bet is to go into both dealerships and see what they have to offer you. I would not discount the Chev car. they offer some very good service/maintenance periods, free of charge too.

I drive a Chev and I am very happy with it.

Neither, i'd go for Mazda 3, good look, good quality, good resale and resonable service cost.
Currently i'm renting a Mazda 6 and amazed by its quality.
Toyota is the most resonable choice, but for me, it is too common.

Thanks for the feedback ... I'll go out and look at chevys (not familiar with them as they're not available back home). And while I'd love a mazda... they're just that little bit more expensive... and I'm trying not to get too much in debt!
thx

Chevrolet Optra LT. Look at that. The LS is too basic...
