Bought a 2011 Nissan Versa Hatchback stock 1.8L back in 2013. Had 33,000 miles and it is still running well at 190,000. After owning three different car brands (Audi A6, Ford Explorer, Dodge Durango) I settled on this Nissan Versa due to the affordability and relative new-ness of the vehicle being two years old. All I can say is: thank you Nissan! This car gets a lot of crap for the CVT transmission, but with regular maintenance my Nissan is still running strong. Unfortunately in just the last couple thousand miles the transmission is starting to slip downshifting from 2nd to 1st. Other than this, the car has treated me well. Another issue that arose was the radiator cracked and had a pretty big leak at about 184,000 miles. My mechanic was shocked to learn that it was the original radiator because so many he says aren't maintained properly and crack/fail way before then. Sadly, with the newer transmission issues and needing new brakes/pads I may be in the market for a newer car. Loved this one so much I contemplated buying a 2013 Nissan Versa with 90,000 miles. Probably won't but that says alot!

When I bought my 2011 Nissan Versa hatchback in 2014, I was just looking for basic transportation. It was just by chance that I ended up with a hatchback. Shortly after I bought it, with about 40,000 miles on it, there was an issue with the engine, but it was taken care of under warranty. Since then, I have put about 70,000 miles on it and had no problems with the engine or transmission. Of course, I have had to have the brakes and other things worked on but that is normal for the amount of mileage I've put on it. I have really enjoyed having a hatchback because it is so much more convenient than a sedan for carrying large items. The only thing I can really complain about is that the engine is a little sluggish when trying to accelerate on an uphill grade, but that's not a real problem, unless a person lives in a very hilly area. I don't regret having bought this car, I would do it again.

This car is very roomy. I can put my road bike in the back of the car with the rear seat down without taking the front wheel off. Gas mileage is good, about 37 highway and 28 city. LOVE the six speed manual. Smooth engine and the car is quiet at speed. Easy to drive long distances. Car has decent power when the RPMs are used correctly. So far, no issues, with the car having 86,000 miles. Recommendation: Get it!

When my 03 Toyota Camry gave out on me, i was devestated- but it lead to the best buy ever. I am completely in love with my espresso black 2011 versa hatchback. Its sleak and trendy and very fun to drive. I love fiting in smaller parking spaces and and the great added features that I chose really puts my "luxery" camry to shame. Between the cd, am/fm, ipod dock and auxiliry plug i'm never bored in my car. I love the inteligent key and bluetooth. Couldn't ask for more! love love love it.
