It took me a while to warm up to my 2015 Nissan Versa Note SV Hatchback but after one year it feels like the CVT has broken in and adapted to my desires/driving style, and I am quite pleased with my new friend. It's not a status vehicle (not my gig), or a super power car (not my gig) - rather, it's a secret beauty delivering a smooth ride, great fuel economy, total cuteness that brings a smile every time I approach it, and strong value. My only complaints are the heating/cooling system which presents a level of frustration in colder months in Minnesota. It seems slow to warm and engages the AC feature for defrosting, therein diminishing fuel economy. Also there is opportunity for design improvement regarding water flow/drip management on door frames and hatchback during rain/snow.

I got this the other week by of all places a Hertz Sales center. Had approx. 30,000 miles and I got it for approx. $9,700! Dealers wanted thousands more for higher mileage ones! - Anyway, it handles like a dream. Needs only a light touch. Accelerates fine in city and on highway. - I love the 'small touches' such as many well-placed cup and bottle holders. A glove compartment that is huge and could hold a woman's pocketbook and then some. Huge. Then there is a mini-glove compartment. Even extenders for the small visors. Bluetooth for phone and usb for playing music or podcasts from your phone to radio. Auto locks doors as you start driving and unlocks your door and puts on interior light when you shut off engine. You can even get a 'fake floor' for the cargo area so that you could hide a full-size briefcase or laptop. Great mileage so far: approx. 35mpg with mix of city & highway and with A/C on half-time. Huge, roomy interior. Co-workers cannot believe it's interior. No! I don't work for them. - BTW, Hertz experience was best I have ever had when buying a car.

It's not a car--it's a friend.

Fun to look at, fun to drive: it's like having a mechanical puppy. Simple, dependable, works! Update: after 13,000 miles, I still love it. Proves its worth everyday. A year later it's still a good friend. Starts, runs, stops...what more could you want?

Went from big cars (SUVs, Vans) to a subcompact. Thought it would be like being born again to get out (in) but was pleasantly surprised. The interior is as roomy as a normal fullsize car. I am tall but have lots of headroom in the Nissan. I also looked at other subcompact competitors: Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent, Chevy Spark, and Mitsubishi Mirage, and the Nissan Versa was the roomiest. I sat in the back seat and my knees had a good 2-3 inches between me and the front seat with the front seat set at the farthest back position. Another pleasant surprise was I get better in city and highway mpg than advertised. I like the hatchback because it opens like vans or SUVs for storing packages and groceries. Also, the cargo area is quite roomy for a subcompact but if you need additional room, the back seats fold forward whereas the seats are fixed in the other subcompacts I looked at. Finally, I like that you have to pull a release similar to the hood release to open the fuel door. This is a nice feature to protect against syphoning by thieves. It is not a luxury vehicle but it is fun to drive with enough pickup for entering highways, good mileage for gas savings, roomy enough for 4 adults, and a fairly quiet engine. The best thing is, it has a tight turning radius and can parallel park in small spaces (doesn't take much room in the garage either). UPDATE: I have owned this car for 13 months now and everything I stated above is still true but I would add a couple of observations. I notice how much louder the engine noise is than in our other car but it is not horrible. I also notice how much more I feel bumps in the road than our other car but this is true with any small car. And finally I would note that I had to replace the third brake light (rear window light) already but because Nissan makes it one piece, instead of a $3 bulb, I had to buy the $92 complete light assembly. However, it was easy to install and this is the only repair in a year. I am still enjoying this car. UPDATE: After owning this car for 2 1/2 years, it is still purring like a kitten. I did have to purchase two front tires this year which were down to the tread bar. However, because of the small tire size on these, it was very inexpensive. The only other thing I have noticed is that the brightness of the radio/clock readout has dimmed but it is still readable. UPDATE: I have now owned this car 6 years and the engine is still purring like the day I got it. The display on the radio/time however had dimmed so much it is almost unreadable until nighttime. I change the oil regularly and have replaced a couple of tires but otherwise the maintenance has been easy and it still gets great gas mileage!

I love my car perfect for a small ,5/1 , person like me. My 5/7 husband has some issues. My only issues is the condensation on my windshield. Cant get it clear unless I run the ac which eats up the fuel!! Other then that it's great. What I'd expect. I had an jeep Cherokee which I did love but the gas was horrible. This car is awesome I love not sticking with the norm and I've made mine my own. I will by another. This is actually my sec one. Was in an accident in my other. I was struck from Behind by a mini van and was totaled but I was never hurt, this car was great. Like I said I'll get another. Love it. Only other issue we had to replace the battery already.
