I've had my not for close to a year now and as a college student who just needs to get from point A to B it is a very good car. No, the car is not any high performance vehicle with all the bells and whistles but it is affordable. I had test driven the same car with the CVT transmission and was very disappointed but I do like my 5-speed manual very much. The manual version is much peppier than the CVT counterpart and has no problem getting up to 70mph when getting on the highway. It was my first manual car and was very easy to drive and continues to get better the more the vehicle breaks in. I would say that giving this car a low rating is unfair if it is based off of interior design alone because it is not meant to be a luxury car. For what it is, the car is very nice and I will continue to say that so long as I own it.

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.

Huge disappointment - expensive repairs

At the time when we bought this car, Nissan was undergoing a lawsuit that involved faulty transmission. We had no idea of this lawsuit, and ended up paying $3,600 for the repaired transmission. This car also needed a repair for the catalytic converters, which will cost $1,000. I would reconsider purchasing this car considering the repair costs that could have been invested into a more reliable model.

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!)

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