Forgive the wall, I'm on mobile.So got this as a rental, it looked cool and I wanted to try it. It had just over 2k milkes and I put 350 miles on it. Did a bit of city ( vegas!!) freeway and some "mountain" driving. Let's point out the Pros of this. The blue tooth is simple and easy, and you can take it a step further by downloading an app. But I just used Google maps, which only works if you have the stereo on Bluetooth mode) Its great for parking, tight turns, great for those u turns, braking, and decent fuel economy. The steering response is middle of the road, maybe a bit above because the car doesn't roll if you have to jerk it over to the next lane. It does have a back up camera and you can see all around when in traffic. I didn't get a chance to see how well The traction control worked. The A/C did okay for 110F heat and no window tint. Meaning it was on full blast 95%, even when it was under 100F. The audio system sounded better then I imagined! Weaving in and out of traffic is a breeze, and you'll have plenty of room. Its not the ugliest or boring for a compact. There was plenty of room for just the two of us. The dash is nice to look at and the double glove box was very convenient. Heck the knee one was very deep. Seating was firm but comfy. Combine the seating and suspension for a sporty feel. Now the cons; even if you are at the front of the line at a stop light, you'll be last. Not only is take off unnaturally slow, the actual throttle response is about a whole second behind. Then after that you'll start to crawl forward ( no need to worry about burn outs!) This can actually be annoying because if traffic speeds up a tad while rolling down the road it'll be a few before you'll catch up. It was amazing that it could go 70mph ( okay there were times we may have went 85mph but we were just keeping with the flow!! And the ride was challenging due to the swaying. Well get to that later) Imagine you are getting on the freeway, you hit the Apex and pin the throttle, the rpms jump up and as need to start merging, desperately, you look down and realize you are only doing 55-60mph, pending if the hill was in your favor. Okay you get it, accerleration is not what this car is meant to do. But you may think this can hold its speed. I mean come on, it's modern, it has a CVT, and it's small! Well sure it can. But only if it's minor. If you start climbing a little it'll rev up. And if it's a 6% grade, you might want to take the slow lane with the truckers. So how does it handle? Well on a flat road it's perfect, that goes for the pavement. If it's concrete with slits you'll start swerving like a tractor trailer with high cross winds, sad part is it's only a slight over exaggeration. At around 50mph it becomes noticeable. Maybe it's a safetly feature to keep you paying attention! I too thought maybe someone hit something. But seeing another versa I had to follow and see if they did the dance, and they did. With all the negative I wrote, I really do not hate this car! Sure it's gutless, the road surface can be a challenge, and the suspension is borderline cheap feeling, but it was fun! The only way I would own this was if I got it with 6sp and 30 more ponies. ( I do kick my self for not getting the fiat 500!)

If you want good transportation this is a fine vehicle to buy. The handling is great and in-city mileage has been amazing. Hopefully the mileage will be good during the colder months. The vehicle handles nicely and is fun to drive. No, it isn't a race car but so what. It does a very nice job going from point A to point B. Some smallish points - headlights could be better as could the defroster and yes, the little engine takes a minute to warm up so my quick ride to work in the winter is cold. Took it out for a road trip to Maine and it did very well, holding the road and keeping up with traffic nicely.

I bought this car because of the price and the fact it only had 137 miles with remaining warranty. It is a base model which means it has no power windows or door locks. Lots of people will give you hell about this. I will say I miss the auto door locks the most. I ill get use to it since I drove a Subaru brat for 13 years without the same things. So far I am loving my new car. But going with out one for three years and having to stay with in a budget I think I did very well for my self. One year later and I still really love my gray little dumb car it averages 40 miles highway and 35 city . I drive it every where. The heater and air condition is fantastic. The only thing I hae done is the recommended oil changes and tire rotation. Still really like it and would do it all over again. I hope I feel the same way next year.

I have been driving my Versa Note for 8 months now and I still ADORE it! I had been driving larger vehicles prior to purchasing this "compact car" and I can't say enough about how great the gas mileage is! Going from an average of 23 MPG in my Nissan Rogue to now an average of 38 MPG has been AMAZING! Another thing I love about this car is how deceptively spacious the interior is. I can honestly say that it feels just as roomy sitting in the Versa Note as it did in the Rogue, with the only real loss being in trunk space. I will say that the acceleration, or lack there of, is a bit of a disappointment. Otherwise I really can't say that I have any complaints. I still get excited when I walk up to it and get in. It's just a fun little car that has spunk to match my personality!
