ZERO STARS: The BIGGEST MISTAKE I've ever ma

If youve noticed, everyone is saying the same thing about the CVT. Its detective therefore, the vehicle should be recalled. I have owned my Versa for only 4 years, I am faced with the misfortune of needing to replace it. The CVT is a MINIMUM of 3000 to replace so it makes no sense to keep it. Definitely looking to file a class action suit. Given the fact that this 8 year old vehicle seems to have the same result rather buyers have owned their vehicles for 1 year or 5 years makes me distrust Nissan from here on.

I have had two Versa cars. The 1st one a 2007 hatchback model. The 2nd one I still have. It is red and very nice looking with alloy wheels. It may take a few seconds longer to merge into traffic. You just allow a few more seconds. The gas mileage is outstanding at 35 average and 40 mpg on the highway. This car is a 2013. I have had this car for 6.5 years and haven't had to spend hardly extra money on it. just to change the oil. This is a great little car to drive around town and does very well on the highway too. I had to buy new tires last year (2018) Why do you want to know my weight, reviewing a car? I DON'T OWN THIS CAR ANYMORE

"Bought an SV model and have close to 200 miles in. It's terrific!! Just what I was looking for. It get's me from point A to point B without spending lot's of hard earned cash. If you are looking for luxury then recommend the Acura line, or possibly Honda, but for normal commute, it's perfect. Getting about 36 mpg average and loving it. The CVT doesn't bother me so far (based on reviews) - actually it is smoother than most normal tranny cars I've driven. I did own a Datsun B-210 (manual) and an Altima so I do like Nissan. LOTS of room. My opinion - this car's ingenuity sticks out at me and I'm definitely loving it. Take one out for a test drive and you'll see. I did, and now I own one!!"

Has no storage for driver to access items like center console. Drove me crazy so I bought one off ebay for $45 works and matched perfect. No place for glasses either. Cup holders are placed odly to far up and the others to far back. No inside trunk release. Complained to dealer right corner panel loose and no place to hang gas cap they told me all versas are like that? Very squirley on fwy in wind and rides a little rougher than I would expect for a new car . but I do like the car even with these negatives see favorite features.

Buyer Beware

I have had nothing but trouble with this car. I took it to the dealership 3 months after purchasing it because there was a squealing noise when it was shifting through the gears. I drove it with the mechanic and he didn't hear anything when I pointed the noise out. They checked it out and told me there was nothing wrong. They also said that I shouldn't worry because Nissan warranties this particular transmission up to 100,000 miles. 6 months later I brought it back in because it was jerking other road, would not accelerate and my check engine light came on. I had just made it to 68,000 miles at this point and figured it would not be a problem. They informed me that the warranty had actually expired at 60,000 miles and any repairs would be at my expense. They couldn't recreate the problem so they reprogramed it thinking the check engine light was a computer glitch. 3 months later the transmission has completely failed on the car. The total cost for the transmission is $3,000 without labor. If you have this car and it is in working condition, please sell it asap.
