This is now the second Nissan Versa Note we purchased. No base model for us the SV wirh appearance package for him and the SR with tech and navigation for me. What I like is quiet and smooth ride without feeling like I am in a small car. I like good vision all around the car and ample head room. Has a roomy feel unlike others that I tested.I tested all cars in the same category and choose the versa note. The gas mileage made up for the suv ride I previously had. It has pick up for interstate driving and it handles the rode great. I had to give up the old thinking big is better and safer and try something different.

depending on ur driving behavior and the money that u have, this car is the "best bang" for ur buck!! the "overall" effectiveness, efficiency, and utility of this car is EXCELLENT for the price (i paid 16K out the door). the mileage i get is 38.2 miles per gallon and it's running off fuel. would love to have a leaf or even a hybrid, but those cars are ridiculously priced so i REFUSE to pay that kinda money out for basically the same car i get in my versa. btw, this is my 3rd versa and i continue to be "in-love" with my car. so yeah, if u want cost-effectiveness in a product, coupled with utility and kewtness, the versa is ur car. the yaris and fit have "nothing" on this car and this car is easily 2-3K less in cost. ok, enjoy!

Do not buy this if you want a sports car with great acceleraton. It does just fine for a 4cyl engine and gas mileage is great. Exterior is a bit deceiving because it's bigger inside than it looks. This car fit what our needs are ; gas mileage, room, and low mileage. Easy fold down back seats for extra carrying space, roomy back seat area for passengers which is surprising. We weren't in need of alot of extra bells and whistles and are pleased with option of having the SiriusXM ( love it) and back up camera. Just gotta be careful of cement parking dividers in parking lots as car is low to ground, but so easy to manuevor. Also, my husband is a big man and he fits better in this car than our Nissan truck, go figure. Have had car about 6 months now and am so pleased with gas mileage and storage capacity. When I put my seat covers on to protect the material, I put thin cushions b/t the seat and seat covers because I find the seats a bit hard on a long trip. Other than that, I really like the car and it suits our needs and love that I don't have to deal with constantly putting gas in it. Am also loving the hatch back. I put a protective cover that is connected to back seat and it covers the'floor' section in back so when I get plants or whatever I don't have to be concerned if something spills on it and I can just pick it up and shake it out without removing it. Enough room to put all kinds of things back there, and it's easy access. April 1st This car has been exactly what we needed. It was a fit from day one. It’s perfect for the two of us and we can zip around in it and the gas savings has been the big advantage for us. Besides the savings at gas pump, I rarely have to deal with gas stations since my husband fills it up and and it’s so great on gas. And love the mini ‘SUV’ design with the hatchback design so we can put extra cargo so easily in back. It’s just so convenient. It’s a smaller car but not too small that you feel unsafe or cramped. In fact it’s inside design is rather roomy in front seat and back seat for the size of car it is. I’m loving it because it’s so useful for what we wanted it for, something gas friendly but not too small for all the stuff we can tote in it. Main thing is it’s running great and have had no problems in that regard.

I drive this car for work, before I started driving it the car had an engine harness wiring issue that required a Nissan engineer take the car to New Jersey to figure it's problem out, ended up taking 2 months to get the car back. It's been great since. Amazing mpg as a delivery vehicle. You d be surprised how much this little thing will fit, it's much more comfortable than the other small cars available too us, our yaris is uncomfortable on long hauls, our fiesta is just a ticking time bomb on it's last leg with the transmission, our impreza is unimprezzive always getting repairs, and our other two aren't the same category so no need to compare. But the versa has the most comfortable interior over the impreza and much comfier than the yaris. Gas mileage has been phenomenal. The CVT actually isn't too bad, pick-up in town is perfect, highway it's a tad slow, dirt roads can be terrifying with the skinny tires, brakes have been outstanding, entertainment system is your typical bland base system any car brand offers. Visibility is another major plus over the impreza and yaris, all in all for our purpose it's amazing. If you need a good delivery vehicle for inner city purposes, check out the versa, it's a amazing city car.

What they don't tell you about the gas mileage..... It only has a 10.8 gallon tank. Your driving range is not too far. The 31/39 MPG on the paperwork is not too real. The computer on the dash says your travelling at 34 to 40 MPG in town . The low on gas light kicks off and the dash starts counting down how much mileage you have left in the tank. I had 41 miles. I then filled the car 8.8 gallons with 39 miles on the dash computer. 229/8.8 = 26 mpg not the listed 31. I am not a speed freak I got the car for the MPG rating. Note: 6 months later the car still does not reach it's CITY MPG rating. The true mileage is always 4-5 miles below the posted on the dash number. Note: 1 year later much happier about miles per gallon. City wise it is still at 27-28 mpg no matter how I drive. BUT long distance trip best result was 47 mpg. Went from south WV to ST. George SC. The odometer read 386 miles, the computer said I still had 111 miles in the tank. The official HWY mileage was 39 so I got gas in St. George SC. I only put in 8.2 gallons of gas. The 111 Mileage was correct. With AC and cruise control the car got 47 MPG. It is a really good trip car. At 18 months the car has settled in to about 29 mpg city. At 26 months the car gets 33.9 mpg all around. The hatchback is great for chores. lots of space. At 36 months put in a new battery. The one that the car came with was almost 5 years old. I fill up the car every three weeks with gas. I have had the back seats folded down since I got the car. It can haul a lot of stuff easily. Paint around the hood corners is flaking off. 3.5 years... no major problems. I do follow the manual for all maintenance. Get a manual on the car so you can replace all the simple stuff like air filters. YouTube videos show you how to do it. Also when changing the battery put on a battery trickle charger, then remove the battery. This will keep all your radio stations installed and not erased. Loading 20 -30 stations back on is a PAIN. YouTube will show you how to change the battery. At about 5 years the car is going strong. I follow the scheduled maintenance. Bought 1 tire, will buy 2 more in June at the regular maintenance check up. Gas mileage in the city is finally up to 31 MPG. It is great for rush hour traffic. It can zip out of a turn. 1-27-23 Six years and all I do is the regular manual suggested maintenance. I have had no problems with the vehicle. Bought only tires oil, and gas. 7-27-23 No major repairs. Replaced the battery and got new tires. I change the oil every 6 months and do all the maintenance in the book on time. Car looks brand new. Got 28,000 miles on it. Need to change the wipers, that's about it 1-28-24 About 34000 miles. Change the oil and the maintenance on schedule. Averaged 40 8 mpg on a 2000 mile road trip with ac and cruise control through mountains and flat lands. No problems other than tires and batteries 7-29-2024 Runs like a "TOP". No repairs since it rolled off the lot, just the normal oil change and filter replacements.01-29-25 still no issues. I just oil change every 6 months, gas, and air for the tires I have only 37000 miles on the car and don't abuse it.

I bought the car when it was new. Other than wear and tear items, the car is holding up well for six years old.
