Too basic a vehicle
I have a Nissan Versa Note as a rental car until my auto is repaired. Coming from a SUV to this is an eye opener. This red Versa Note is cute. The engine is pretty peppy, with one person in the car. The radio is fine as is the A/C. The drivers seat is also comfortable. I don't feel safe in this car. It's very small and has a very thin structure. Backing up is especially difficult. I'm use to a backup camera , but the versa is difficult to gage what's in back or the rear sides of you. Did I mention it has roll up windows. Makes me laugh. Haven't seen roll up windows for over forty years. The windows don't concern me either. This is a case of spending a little more money for a Safer car.

Good little car with some big flaws!
The versa note I had was a good little car. However, it had some very obnoxious flaws that made me just not enjoy driving it. Being that it is one of nissans cheapest cars, (although with all of the features I had, I could have bought an altima...) it is made of very cheap materials. After just a year of having the car, any bump and you would hear all the plastics on the interior rattle and shake. It got to the point where the whole car felt like it was shaking apart. Another issue I had with it is, whenever it would rain outside, the back windows would steam up, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. I could run the A/C, which would tank the gas mileage and what little power the car had. Or I would just lose all visibility out of the car. While the car got ok mileage (do not believe what the cars computer tells you, it is usually about 6 mpg less then what it shows), it just had no power, so if you had to go up hills you would lose all your mileage.

FUN little car
This a great car that doesn't cost much. When I was looking for an inexpensive car payment this little car did the trick. It looks really small but the inside is really roomy and the backseat can fit an adult over 6ft tall very comfortably. The cargo area is great and with the seats down you can really haul things in this hatchback including furniture! Visibility is great with the large windshield and back window. NO complaints other than its fairly basic inside but it sure does the trick for an inexpensive vehicle. When i first test drove it I thought this is a fun little car!

Great car. Little cramp for room 4 driver.
Gas mileage hwy 39. Around town 30. No major repair in 7 years. Driver seat cramped but other seating is very good. Back is very comfortable, easy in-out. Most cost-effective car I ever owned. Reliable transportation without bells and whistles. The downside; noisy engine and cheap plastic interior. It doesn't handle as well as my Caddy but it didn't cost as much, either.

Faultless
I bought my 2015 Versa Note as Certified Pre Owned in 2017. In those 7 years, apart from routine maintenance all I replaced were the sway bars and control arms in the front suspension. Part of maintenance includes CVT fluid changed every 30K miles. My best mpg was 43 and 30 is avg (city & highway). I don't really need a truck for hauling but it's sure nice to have the cavernous hatch when I need it. I'm approaching 90,000 miles having bought it with 30,000 miles.
