2012 Nissan Versa consumer reviews

I own the most bear bones version and it works like a charm, with the manual 30mpg is easily achievable. Steering at low speeds feels like you are the car. Pedals are responsive and the suspension can handle just about anything. Highly recommended for a cheap daily.

The worst car I ever bought. The only Japanese car that is built so cheap and now since so bought it used, the transmission needs to be replaced a Nissan wants $8000 todo it.I don’t have the money, so I have to junk it. Always get a Toyota, don’t waste a dime on this junk of junk.

Great smooth ride and good gas mileage, haven't had any issues with this car at all. Long road trips in the car are a little tough on the back

We bought a Special Edition Model new. The car has been very reliable. Of course we maintain it @82K on the clock. We are lucky, our model does NOT hav the CVT tranny. That Tranny has lots of issues and requires a special battery. Peppy and gas mileage is OK. Would buy again.

Code 0705 has many mechanics puzzled...they can't figure why when I step on brake the PRNDL light goes out & car starts to jerk....I have to put car in P when I come to red light or stop sign. It runs but it's a nuisance.

I have never had a problem with my Nissan versa hatchback. Great little car with plenty of room. It is a 2012 67,000 miles and it still has the brand new smell. It has had two recalls took it to my local dealership fix the recalls but no problems.

Transmission on this car is terrible nissan has fixed already twice it has been a lot better but i feel it can cause a accident because all of the sudden the car will rev up and then rev down to a almost a stand still

Just after I bought it the drivers seat got stuck and won't move. The motor light came on. Had a transmission recall, before I got the car. I couldn't het it fixed. I still have 2.5 years of payments...hope the car lasts that long. I'm terrified to go anywhere! Never again!

The title says it all. I was on a trip to another state, and the RPMs would fly up by the car wouldn't accelerate. Long story short and $3000 later, the transmission FAILED 1/4th of the way through the trip and to this day, I'm still dealing with the credit card debt. Beyond that, the car ran like garbage, even after I had the transmission replaced. No "get up and go" from that car no matter what I did - my 02' Hyundai Elantra had twice the horsepower! Then I get contacted by a lawyer 2 months later as they formed a CLASS ACTION lawsuit because this has been happening in innumerable(that's right, not just the versa, not just the 2012's) Nissan vehicles with these experimental parts/engineering (at the risk and cost of consumers) and if you've read to this point, you can guess that Nissan weaseled out of that too! At this point, Nissan couldn't pay me to drive one of their cars. Do NOT support any vehicle that has this experimental crap in it, especially if it's from Nissan!!!

So far it's okay...gas mileage is fair to good around the city depending on factors like the road and the route taken. I bought the rear trunk cover from Amazon and fits perfect. Takes corners well and feels good scooting to the few places we can travel to right now. Overall, a good deal for me.
