All I can go by is the three weeks I had my car but I had a bad experience. Acceleration in a word SUCKS! Its not as bad on the freeway but when you press on the petal it feels like your going no where. Its the worst on complete stops when your trying to pick up speed in traffic. More than once people honked and gave me dirty looks. If the gas mileage was good I would overlook this but thats not even the case, and I use midgrade. Interior rattles all the time and reeks of cheapness. The overall design is nice and the headroom is amazing, however he leg room could be a bit better. Had to take it back to the dealer four times due to a defect in the suspesion before they upgraded me to a sentra
Great mpg, minor problems

We bought our car at 60k about 3 years ago. We've used it as a commuter, a road tripper, and a cross-country mover. Gets easily 28mpg in the city, and closer to 31-34 on the highway, which has saved us a bunch of money with a lengthy commute. It's smaller, but fits a car seat and one other person in the back with some room. Definitely cramped with 3 people in the back. It's not a fast car (4 cylinder), but you shouldn't expect it to be fast with it being so efficient on gas without being a hybrid. Trunk is fairly spacious, can hold quite a bit more than you would expect, which is great for a small family. We have had a few problems with it, but most of the repairs were $600 or less. The stock alternator went out at about 70k and had to replace the battery at the same time because it drained it so fast. The muffler rusted out at about 80k which was a little costly. Engine noise is a little on the loud side, but you get used to it. We got the model with power windows, AUX port, and power locks, which isn't much, but it's also a cheaper car. Finally, at about 70k, the hatch button stopped working, and would not open unless you opened it manually from the internal lock on the inside of the car. The fix itself was costly so we didn't, but we fixed it by taking apart the passenger door and adding in a manual switch to unlock and lock the trunk. There's some great DIY videos on Youtube to help, or you can take it to a dealer and expect an expensive fix. Ours works great now, and you always know it locks. All in all, it's a car that runs pretty well and efficient, just take care of it.

Good on gas, comfortable and no real problem until around 110,000. Then latch in the back stopped working. I spent over $200 trying to get an idea of the problem and 2 dealers disagreed on what was wrong (one was a Nissan dealer). Both agreed it would cost over $500 to fix — almost more than the car was worth. Next the transmission was slipping and the driver’s door wouldn’t open at times.

I wanted a safe, economical, practical car for my daughter to drive and the Versa is all that and more. The ride is quiet and smooth, the interior is comfortable and the controls are well thought out. We got 33 MPG on the highway driving to Texas...not too shabby. Plus, the car looks WAY better than the Fit or Yaris - especially if you get the red version and put on some window tint! 50 cu.ft. cargo capacity with the seats down, plus, the engine has a timing chain - not a belt! In my opinion, this car is hands down one of the best cars in it's class today.
Where is Nissan's quality?

I purchased this vehicle NEW 2 days ago. Within 10 miles I had brake pedal feedback/shudder. At 200 miles, the brakes shudder so hard that the steering wheel almost shakes your hand off of it. The A/C compressor was cycling in/out way too often. Check engine light on at 225 miles. Took it to the dealer today - Updates as of current: 1) Front rotors are warped 2) A/C compressor is shot, needs to be replaced 3) "We haven't had a chance to find out what the 'service engine soon' light issue is, nor have we found the source of the odd howling noise. This is the 2nd Nissan that has had ridiculous issues, but this one is only 36 HOURS OLD!
