Look before you leap

I should have taken a look under the hood and maybe kick the tires. It looks real nice sitting. Great stereo system no ashtray weird

Great Basic Vehicle

This car is the base mode. It is no frills whatsoever. Stick shift, manual locks / windows, no ABS or cruise control. It gets good gas mileage, parts are cheap, and it is a piece of cake to drive. Picks up well, handles the Wyoming mountain passes in summer with good agility, and it is fun to drive. Interior isn't uncomfortable, but I wouldn't say it is luxurious by any means.

Not very comfortable, but affordable and reliable!

This is a great first car. It's very affordable, without a lot of bells and whistles to distract young drivers. I don't find it comfortable, and there's not much storage space. The hatchback area holds groceries pretty well, but not a whole lot more. Definitely not putting a 7 year old's bike back there. For the money, though, I think this is a great car. Simple, easy to drive, easy to see out of, great gas mileage.

Very roomy despite looks. Reliable and comfortable

Great gas mileage and lots of headroom for a tall person. Best compact car out there for the money. I may buy another one day

After all the bugs were ironed out the car is good

Reliable good looking and safe. Fun to drive good gas Milage very peppy and I really love the sports package with a sun roof. Also the hatchback can haul lots of stuff from the garage sales.

Handles very well in traffic

Easy to drive and gets great gas mileage. Lots of space for cargo. Small enough to park in tight spots. Very comfortable ride. Plenty room for passengers.

Love me a Nissan

This is the second Nissan Versa I’ve owned and I love it. I love the style of the hatchback. It’s like a super mom car without the bulk of a van. It’s great on gas, I drive a lot with work and taking my boys out so gas mileage is awesome. Haven’t had any mechanical issues. Very reliable.

Great Car

I have driven my 09 versa for several years with no problems. Have taken it on many trips. Aside from normal wear/tear things I have had to replace I have had no problems. Sometimes the engine light comes on and it always says its the cold start control or 02 sensor. Has never manifested into any issues. I would drive another newer versa in a heart beat. Mine has 148 K miles on it and is still going strong. Gets great gas mileage too
