I've owned 3 Nissans. 2 we've still got. Great vehicles. However the Versa has been one of the worst driing cars. It's laborious to drive long distance (a good in town car). In the rain, storms and even just during by large trucks it's a task to keep it in the road lanes, especially after 8-10 hours of driving or thru a 3 hour storm of heavy rain. And it seems every time I rent a car I get one....

45 mpg on the highway, not a hybrid. Wow.

The five speed manual transmission gets remarkable gas mileage. If I do highway driving only average 45 MPG. If I do mostly city I average 36.8 MPG. That’s awesome lots of headroom and fun to drive.

Good handling. Sticks to the road & tight (electric) steering. Enough zip for me. Lots of lateral room & high ceiling. Mine is a stripped down S version with a stick (less to go wrong with it). Everything is cheap as it's a cheap car, especially seats. There's a rattle in the dash when it's cold. Really could use (and it can pull) a 6th gear (4k rpm @ 85mph!). But, no regrets.

Great Commuter Car

Second one we've had; our daughter was rear-ended in first one and while the car was totaled, she didn't have a scratch. Great for around town/commuting. Went in to buy a base version and this one was loaded with everything and had been used as a loaner vehicle for the service dept and they practically gave it to us. I considered it a disposable car, but love it and drive it more than our big SUV and Mustang. A bit noisy with just adequate acceleration, it fits anywhere you want to park it and is pretty nimble sneaking thru narrow & tight spots. And it's so small, there's plenty of room in garage to walk around it. We haul old ladies to church in the back seats; amazing room and super easy to get in and out of the car; they love it (maybe because of the spoiler and the looks). Smartest car purchase we have ever made.
