roomy for a little car
I had a Sentra before this car and there is more room in the back seat on the Versa. The gas mileage is great and you can make a u turn on nearly every road with no problem. The only issues I have had are the exhaust. I had to have a piece welded a couple of years ago and now I think the baffles in the muffler are vibrating. Still great for a 10 year old car. I still love it.

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.

Was a little unsure
Was a little unsure about such a small car and some reviews! to sum it up! Great car! economical! practical! Fun to Drive. recommend the SL with the CVT. And it comes with center armrest! and Ipod hookup! also Sl has few great features that take away most complaints I have seen! If people were not so cheap they would get a much better value for some pocket change! really peppy car actually went from a Pontiac G6 gt to this and his would probably keep up with it! lol handles nice and very very comfy! also more lighting and mirrors in the SL! great buy for the price. Must drive it
Love it so far.
I bought this car used. It has 40k miles on it but feels and looks new (kudos to previous owner). This car is a huge step up from my former SUV which as we all know was clumsy and a gas hog. This car is like a toy for me. It zips when I need it to and stops when I need it to. Corners like a champ and is full of features. Excellent car for the price.
Everything I wanted
I bought this car to replace my two door Honda Civic. So far it is spacious, fun to drive, and everything I was hoping for. I'm not sure yet on the bas mileage, but it seems to be what I expected. Front seat has plenty of room. The keyless ignition and other features on the premium package are awesome!
