Should I buy a 2007 Ford Fiesta Zetec or 2007 Nisan Tiida?

I have shortlisted two cars - a 2007 Ford Fiesta Zetec with 18,000 miles and a 2007 Nisan Tiida with 35,000 miles. Both are the same price. Which one is the best buy?

Why buy an unofficial import with very limited parts availability, especially for body parts? Far better to buy the UK version of the Tiida, which is the Note.
