Nissan Versa Note is the lowest msrp car in america and it is exactly why i purchased it. I wanted a bare bones car without power accessories and a manual transmission [all CVT's are trash}. This car rides and feels like a low cost car... You can hear and feel everything with the radio down. This is all fine for me since i knew i was buying the cheapest new car made. I paid 13999 otd, no trade in. Currently have 58000 miles with zero issues. Factory tires should last me another 20000 miles. Since replacing the battery 8901 miles ago, the combined mpg indicator states 43.2. Oil changes are cheap, 3qts of walmart synthetic and wix oil filter every 5000 miles. I am planning to keep this car till giving it to my kids for them to destroy. This car is not, sporty, quick or stylish... it is a economy car and does a fantastic job in my opinion.**UPDATE** have 72,000+ miles now, car is great... installed some new usa made cooper tires. Currently getting 44.2 mpg overall after adjusting my driving to achieve A+ rating with progressive snap shot devise. Yes, i did get a discounted rate. No, i dont recommend you try it... unless you are cool with being the cause of road rage and flipped off by everybody.

I owned this car from OCT 2018 at 40k miles - NOV 2023 at 111k miles. My personal score was a 4/5… It was a great car that served me well. I had the SL trim which included a few luxuries such as heated seats, nicer wheels, XM radio and a spoiler. The car had plenty of room and the hatchback added versatility to the car. I was able to add a hitch rack and haul my bikes as well. Great gas mileage and relatively cheap to maintain for normal maintenance items. Definitely lacked power, but most people who buy this car know that up front- once you get up to 60-70mph drives fine for long roadtrips on the highway. HOWEVER- like most Nissan CVTs my Versa Notes transmission began failing significantly at 84k miles. I was fortunate enough to have mine replaced under warranty (I barely made the cutoff for the extended warranty period), but I know a lot of people who had the same issue and couldn’t get it fixed under warranty- and it’s a $5k-$6k cost to replace. Had Nissan made a pledge to fix ALL their faulty CVTs I would easily give this car 4 stars. CVT aside- the only other significant issue I had with this car is with the front suspension. The car unfortunately was totaled in a 35mph collision when another vehicle pulled out in front of me blindly to make a left turn. The front end was completely destroyed, but the car kept me and my passenger safe. I am a little sad to see it go. My biggest piece of advice to anybody looking at buying this car used is to factor the cost of replacing the transmission… it will more than likely go out at some point (sooner than most vehicles).

Nice inside and roomy. Problem is transmission, went out at 60,000, 3 years old. Nissan replaced it. Now at 107,000 6 years old, new transmission has also started slipping. No more Nissan for me
