Used 2009 Nissan Versa Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Nissan Should Be Ashamed
This is my first new car, it has been driven for a year and I am considering trading it in. For a buyer that was supposedly making an upgrade from a 295,000 mile 1991 Toyota Previa I am truly disappointed. The car has been in the shop for major repairs like a malfunctioning A/C condenser, and braking problems. I never had such problems with my Previa. The engine knocks pretty loud in the mornings too. Needless to say, this was one of the worst cars I've bought, and I cant get rid of it because the resale value on the Nissan Versa and Nissan Sentra drop like a stone once you drive them off the lot
The Worst Vehicle I Have Ever Owned
I have had this vehicle for almost 2 years now and from the moment I bought it I have had problems. It has been to the dealer multiple times, and when I say multiple I mean way too many to count. I have had start up issues since I bought the vehicle, which leads me to believe that the fuel pump is bad, I have alignment problems, I have a car alarm that works sometimes but not at other times, the material on the interior doors has been falling off for some time now, the car makes noises when I turn, and worst of all and most recent the piece of junk is having transmission problems at just 25,000 miles and the dealer cannot fix it. I hate this car, don't think of buying one its a nightmare.

Little Big One
Before I ever test drove this car, I climbed in the back seat to see about the leg room. There was tons! This car is roomy both front and back seats, but the outside of this car makes it look tiny. It maneuvers thrive traffic very well and gets into small parking spaces. I love this car!

Would not buy another one
I have had the Versa for about 4 months; I would not buy another one. This car has been back to the dealer several times to fix small problems. It has several flaws that are important to me. One the AC is undersized for Florida, when out in the heat you need to put the air flow to recycle to keep the cabin cool. Although the noise level when running is the lowest of the other cars I test drove; it is the loudest car I ever be in when you accelerate. Last but not least. The drivers side window wiper is about twice the size of the passenger side, and it throws its water on to the passenger side. Thus in the rain the passenger side is never clear.
Never Buy Nissan
Transmission went out on me at 90K miles despite regular upkeep. Now I'm finding out online that Nissan has had frequent transmission problems even citing a class action lawsuit. Unfortunately it only goes as far back as 2010. The engine compartment is filled with plastic. You have a plastic intake manifold sitting directly over the engine. If it gets hot and cracks, spfft. Enjoy replacing that. Everything is constructed in such a cramped and over thought out way. Have fun replacing your own headlights as you dig your hand between cramped parts, unable to see where they line up and then have to pop in the pins that hold it with one hand. If you need to replace your belt, alternator, water pump, etc., it's a blast to have to lift up your car, take off the tire, pop out the pins of the plastic lining in the wheel well, and line up tiny metal holes just reach the pulleys. Every mechanic I meet mocks Nissan. My mechanic talks crap on every Nissan he works on. I've been watching Scotty Kilmer. He mocks Nissan. My next car will be a Toyota or Ford. If I wanted junk, I'd buy a Chrysler. At least it'd look nicer.
