61,000 Transmission had to be replaced

Not a bad little car except for the CVT transmission. Transmission was replaced at 61,000 miles lucky we had an extended warranty. My wife drove the car 2 days than the transmission quit again. It is currently at the Dealer now awaiting repair. I no longer trust the car and would not buy another Nissan product with the CVT transmission.

Nice Individuals Start Saving At Nissan

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!

Note worthy Versa SV

The Versa Note is a reliable,economical compact car. It's not going to win races or impress anyone with fine looks. It is what it is fairly priced car that's good on gas and surprisingly comfortable for this small exterior and roomy interior hatchback.

2015 Nissan Versa Note 1.6 S Plus 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful

This little car does it all! It is a comfortable ride, in the front as well as the rear seats. It handles extremely well in wet conditions. It does pretty good in the snow too (as good as a front wheel car could do). I have 57,000 miles on her so far. I have the S-Plus model. My only real complaint would be the slow acceleration, its quite difficult to merge onto roads that have short entrance ramps, this also makes it difficult to quickly navigate from dangerous situations. My other complaint would be the quality of interior door materials.. one of my window crank handles has already fallen off and is not covered by the warranty. Other than what I've already said, I am completely in love with my car.

We absolutely love this little car. Fuel economy is excellent. It has great options for the price range. And it has a good warranty for a vehicle in this price range as well. Very versatile car with lots of space. We test drove a fiesta and a sonic and the versa was the biggest of the smallies!
