Good economy car

The car has pluses and a few minuses. First the good things. It is by far one of the smoothest vehicles I've ever driven, especially highway driving. You barely feel the road. Breaking is quick and responsive which adds to the smooth driving experience. The car is agile and has a impressive turning radius. Engine performance is adequate but acceleration is a bit weak especially taking it from 0 to 60. so you will not be passing every car on the road with this. Also the car sways a bit in high winds so it feels like you have to fine tune the steering at highway speeds to stay in lane. Exterior stying of car is also a bit unorthodox with it's small 15 inch wheels and oversized headlights. Interior is very comfortable for most people seats are comfortable with good back support. The rear seating is large for a subcompact with excellent legroom . The dash is not terribly impressive though cheap plastic is used and the glove compartment is too small . Also audio system is subpar and basic. What I love about the car is the price, the gas mileage and the comfort and reliability. If your looking for fancy or fast look elsewhere.

First car for my daughter.

This car gets excellent gas mileage. I hope it will be one she can use for several years! Definitely priced well for commuters and as a car for a young couple.

Perfectly simple. I really like this car

The base model. For luxuries it has AC, Power windows, & Cruise Control. Not much else.. however it’s simplicity is what I really like about this car. It’s simple. The locks won’t lock themselves, the lights only turn on when you turn them on..... I actually prefer it this way. Also, less electronics to go wrong and need repair. This car doesn’t have much power from the gate but once it’s moving, it has plenty and enough to pass at high speeds. I’m addition, because of the CVT(transmission) I’ve had it at 80 MPH and it will still shift offering you more power and speed when you think it should be winding out. It feels sporty and light to drive... overall it’s the simplicity of this car that I have kinda fallen in love with... I just hope it lasts... futur review after 60k miles. OVERALL FIR A SIMPLE COMMUTER CAR.. THIS IS A GREAT CHOICE... and I’m very happy so far.

Excellent Value Great Looking Car

This car is awesome. I've only owned it for a month but I'm finding it to be very reliable, comfortable and it looks great! Everything I need on the inside. Power windows, excellent A.C. and good stereo. Also, I consider the blue tooth to be an awesome extra. Don't need a lot of fancy extras so this car is perfect for me. Good gas mileage to. .

So far so good

Stripped down BASIC model. Has AC, cruise control, power windows.. not much else. I actually like that it has no extra electronics to fail. Also nothing extra to think about, you have to manually adjust everything...which I kind of like. I’m Happy with it so far... we’ll see in 6 months.

An excellent car buying experience!

I am very happy with my new Nissan Versa SV. It is living up to it’s mileage specs and is running great. It was very clean and in excellent condition when I purchased it and it came with a Dealership warranty. I am very pleased with it. I would recommend Paya’s to find a quality used car.

Super cute drives well

The car is much smaller than my previous but I really like it. My favorite part is the stereo that thing bumps! Drives really well and didn’t even use a quarter tank on a hundred mile trip. The body is nice only a couple scratches. I’m happy.

Comfortable commuter

Interior styling of the car is ok. It is very roomy and comfortable for a compact car but the aesthetic design could be nicer even at a low ownership price point. The stereo heating and air console is oversized and the air vents should be not so obvious. Also some soft vinyl instead of hard plastic on the dash. But other than that it is fine. Seats are very comfortable. Car is smooth driving and has adequate power and presence for highway driving. Driving curves could be a bit more nimble but does have excellent turning radius for getting around tight areas. Great on gas and low cost if ownership was the reason I chose this vehicle
