I got this car about two months ago if this is what Nissan has to offer I will never get another Nissan again. Comfort in this can is non existent. Low tech. Interior is cheap and not comfortable. My truck broke down and had little to no choice about getting this car. I would never have picked this car out it hurst my back driving it everyday. Only good thing I can say about it is for now I am getting good gas mileage that is it on the plus side.

Purchased july1 2018. Great mpg 34.6 mostly town m

2016 versa sedan s. Bought with 23000 miles. Have put 3000 on it so far. Drives great smooth manual shift and a surprising amount of power for a 1.6 L. LG trunk generous back seat and plenty of leg and head room. Great A/C. Very important in louisiana heat. Bluetooth uconnect hands free. Works awesome. For the price I paid I really can't complain about the manual locks and windows. No big deal. I was 16 before I had a car with electric locks and doors. My 12 yr old had issues but overall its a very well made tight car. The 5 speed adds to the fun. Not to mention I have had complaints from others that the CVT TRANS. HAS SOME ISSUES. NO WORRIES FOR ME WITH MANUAL SHIFT. All and all my only complaint is no cruise control. All tech is current Bluetooth, hands free u connect audio controls on steering wheel aux input. Decent microphone for vocal commands. Also has 8 airbags and great safety ratings. I will add on to review after 50k. Great bang for the bucks. I am considering adding an after market cruise control for $400. 10.5 gallon tank averages 400 per tank. Seats are quite comfortable but am only 5'6 160Lbs. My brother is over 6'2 and has plenty of leg room without sacrificing leg room in back seat. She's my little plain Janie. Happy with purchase.

Airbag light keeps coming on

Good car and dependable. This car is not good on gas with it being a little car. Has had a lot of problems with airbag light and transmission shuttering just below 40,000 miles.

Most reliable car I?ve EVER owned!!

I love the back-seat leg room, the spacious trunk, and the gas mileage. This car drives incredibly smooth and is a HUGE money saver. Getting 35 miles to the gallon really helps with handling other financial needs instead of worrying about gas. I sold my Ford Fiesta to purchase this vehicle and I am completely satisfied with my decision. If you are looking into this car, no matter the year model, I recommend you to seriously consider the benefits from driving this model car. It?s absolutely great and I absolutely love it!!

Great mileage. Generic style. Reliable/low mainten

33 mpg and reliable for over two years. Overall I am satisfied with this car... The most annoying quirk has been the touchy trunk release mechanism- it opens unattended, and has resulted in loss of property, negating the surprisingly capacious storage feature of this otherwise generic subcompact.

The best car I have owned so far.

It's a nice car. I can connect it to my phone so if I receive a call or need to make one while driving I can. It gets good gas mileage and costs less to fill up than my even smaller car.
