Actually the Tiida is based on the Renault Clio platform. The USDM Sentra is based on the Megane.

Um, u sure about that^^^^^??? All searches on the net point to it sharing the Megane platform (as with the Versa). The Tiida is a huge car when compared to the clio

Time to add the icing on the cake with this post..

You might find the hatchback look like a Renault Megane. In fact, the Tiida is not built on the Megane platform (note: sorry for my earlier mistake) but on the Renault-Nissan group's B-platform which gave birth to March, Cube, Note, Renault Modus and Clio III.

It would have been better if Tiida look as stylish as Megane, but it isn't.
The B-platform is never outstanding. It employs struts and torsion-beam suspensions and electric power steering just like any cost conscious European family hatches. Converting it to the taste of Japanese made it even more unremarkable - very light steering totally lacks feel, very soft suspensions lead to a lot of body roll, and the rear drum brakes lack stopping power. The way it drives is as boring as the way it looks.

Mind quoting that source?Pointman-IA? Th march looks more like the clio. The Tiida is very much larger than those cars you want to group it with. I think you are mistaken about the suspenson as well.

This is where I got the info from.

The Clio III and the Nissan March, and the Nissan Tiida,and the Nissan Cube shares the same platform.
They do not share the same platform as the Megane.

And in what way I'm I mistaken about the suspension? Just asking.
