Buy certified used for best value
I bought a 2016 Nissan versa note from a rental car company after it hit 30k because it knocked the price in half, has had all the proper required maintenance for warranty, and is still covered by the staggering warranties for the vehicle (36k bumper to bumper, 60k power train, 120k CVT). I've like the note in comparison to a few others (feels nicer than the Hyundai accent, kia Rio, Mitsubishi mirage). Its tech may be simpler than others (ford fiesta comes to mind), but other than placing the USB/AUX/12V plug in the center stack rather than under the stereo (updated to there in the 2017), its well accesorized in the SV trim with a 5" display and backup camera. The radio with its Bluetooth and various inputs for music is very easy to set up. It has two glove boxes, one of which is huge, the other not so much. It drives fairly well, you'll notice its a little top heavy in corners at high speed, but nothing worrying. It maxes out at 104mph, but keeps up at 80mph on the highway without complaint. CVT is different than regular automatic due to the way it revs, but you won't notice too much actual difference. If you want MAX SPEED, this isn't the car you are looking for, but stick does alright. The interior is huge, enough for four 6'2" adults to sit in comfortably with luggage. It'd fit 13 dwarves and a hobbit alright, if you're going on an adventure. Probably not the wizard though. The fabric and textile selection is nice, if conservative. My dad has had an xterra for 11 years though and I know his upholstery suffered for it, so one of my first purchases was seat covers from amazon. Since its a narrow car I had to spend about an hour making it fit, but if you are looking to have this car for a while or want the best trade in value, definitely invest the 30$. Fuel economy is roughly what the specs say - I was averaging about 35 city with grandma driving, but 40 highway on a road trip (going 80 with two not small passengers). Exterior styling is good. If you buy new, you have a lot of options to make the car look cool, but even 'go faster' stripes aren't going to increase it speed. But if you are fine with that, it looks comparibly good to other hatchbacks, is spacious, is good value for money, has great warranties, is easy to fix because its on the cheaper end, and not bad to drive around. If you are on the younger end, adding flair isn't hard, expensive, or limiting to the car and insurance for a new car is pretty reasonable. The only real contenders in the class for me were the Honda Fit or the Ford Fiesta, both of which are more expensive and have their own weird issues.
