I love my Nissan Versa. But broke down into pros and cons as follows: PROS: - Turning radius. I do u-turns that make other motorists jealous. - Visibility. I can’t find a blind spot. No need for rear-view camera nor lane assist. - Room. Back seat leg room is crazy good in this car. - Price. Cheap. CONS: - Slowest accelerating car I’ve ever driven. Even with manual transmission. - Road Manners / Handling. Take some getting used to. Lots of steering correcting. - A/C. A little weak for hot climates.

Great car for what it is

I bought my Versa in 8/2017. 35,500 miles almost 5 years later. Great little car for what it is. For the price you get what you pay for. The engine is loud at interstate speeds. But the economy and price make up for that. The only reason for 4 stars is the he air conditioning is weak. In the Mid Atlantic summer it struggles to keep the car cool. I even have tinted windows all the way around. 5 speed S model.

I went and purchased this car after seeing it on this website. I got the last one they had in stock of the Nissans they had in this price range. It's been a month and I have no complaints. I absolutely love it. Update: One year later, and still no complaints. Other than routine maintenance, everything still works great!

I bought my 2017 S-model (5-speed) in March of 2020 with 32k miles on it. Being six foot one, I was surprised at how roomy it was up front and back seat space for my kids was phenomenal! It's zippy in traffic, averages 42 actual mpg driving 90 miles a day round trip to work and back and now has 83k miles on it. All I've done is regular maintenance with full synthetic oil and put new tires on it, that's it. Even the original brakes! Great car overall, and especially for the low price. Highly recommend!!!

The automatic shift selector will slip out of park into reverse while powering off our Enterprise rental Had two accidents, Jan. 7 and 11th 2019. The car lurched into reverse and hit the cars behind us. Thankfully no child was behind us as this was in a school parking lot.
