I am so glad i got this car

I got this can about two months ago. I've already put 6700 miles on it and It just likes to go. It's an amazingly good car. I was going to buy a hyundai accent at first but I decided go with this versa that was $3000 cheaper. I would recommend this car to anyone who's trying to save up some money!

Excited about this car

Well designed car with lots of interior room. The metalic blue is a great color and the exterior is perfect for this local commuter. The price is very reasonable for the accessories provided as standard.

Its good!

I bought this versa new. and I drive 184 miles every day, 5 days a week. It's been amazing, never had a problem. It's fairly quick. You'll always find me on the fast lane going at least 70 mph. I recommend this car if you want good mpg and reliability.

my 2012 versa

This car is great for the price you pay. I get around 39 mpg on this car. I can do zero to sixty miles per hour in less that 10 sec. I haven't had a problem with this car yet. Hope this helps you with your buy.

1st nissan

The nissan versa is a great car for the money i bought the base model with the 5 speed trans .It was not easy to find but i did find one after a 2 week search . It cost a little more then the base price .A great car .Just be sure you go over the price before you sign . Happy motoring.

Drive on Hwy first

Well I am very dissapointed in this car, I have never been in a car where I am scared to drive on Highway, When you get to around 60 this car is all over the road, I have had it for about a month and I want to trade it in. The gas gets around 39 mpg, Thats the best thing about this car, When you order a drink get a small cause you will spill your drink trying to get it in the cup holders. Only one plug in middle of seat, where it makes it hard to plug in gps from middle of car. Carpet is very cheep, I vacumed twice and carpet is peeling off. Just please drive this car at least 20 min on hwy before you buy. I will not let my 17 or 18 yr old kids drive it, because I dont feel like this car is safe for them.

Chrysler

It's a very nice and small car what I was looking for at the time although I did want it to have more feature for what i am paying.

Great Gas Mileage

2012 Nissan Versa Sedan with Continuous Variable Transmission. We drive in a small town and on country roads. Average around 41 mpg. Maximum on country roads that I've averaged is 48.2 mpg. I wanted an inexpensive car that got better than average gas mileage and the Versa delivers. The car handles very well, even in strong winds and on the freeway. It's not as quiet as a Lincoln and not as hot as a Corvette. If that's what you're looking for, don't get a Versa. If you want a reasonably comfortable, reliable car with excellent mpg and no hybrid issues, the Versa can't be beat for the price. Very room too, also in the back seat and trunk. Biggest complaint is that the seat material attracts hair and other particles like a magnet and it's hard to vaucum clean. I'm getting neoprene seat covers for the front to take care of that. We've had the car 4 months, driven 5000 miles.

Interesting

The car itself is awesome in every way. Only negative would be the manager at the store where we purchased it. We never were shown an itemized statement nor was the manager very personable to us. We thought that we would at least get a simple thank you for buying this new car, but again, he was very cold. We had to ask alot of questions before we recieved any answers. Maybe he was having a bad day, but when you're dealing with the public, you should at least be respectufl to the customer.

good starter car

I am very disappointed in the gas mileage. I'm only getting 24-25 miles/gallon. I wished it had the programmable garage opener feature. On the plus side, it is very roomy.
