The car is everything that I expected..Usually all the reviews that are given by auto organizations are always bad..but the owners, real people are favorable,If you want 300 hp, 17inch wheels, Bose sound system, look for something else, but if you want a basic affordable car, this car would satisfy most.

I purchased the bottom of the line, base model with a 5 speed manual transmission and crank windows. Chose Versa for it's reliability. My son is still driving the Versa I purchased in 2009, which is still going with over 200,000 miles and only routine maintenance. The 2018 stops, goes, and cruises the interstate at 80 mph for hours, delivering 38 mpg (if I stay at 70 mph, it gets 40+ mpg). Heater and A/C are great. The sound system is a real bonus, hooking up to my iphone and playing my mp3 library, and the bluetooth works well on phone calls. I haggled and get it out the door for under $11k (plus tax,) and it is well worth it. Don't believe the unflattering review. I stopped believing Motor Trend when they named the AMC Pacer "Car of the Year" in 1975, and I bought one, and lived to regret it.

I purchased my Versa in November 2018. I traded in my 2007 Nissan Murano. Definitely a huge change for me. After driving the Versa for a few weeks, it quickly came to my attention of how light the car really was! The stability in windy conditions seems poor. To those who complain of how weak the acceleration is, you must have not driven CVT before. You have to know how to accelerate correctly, you can't just floor it. All in all it's a great car, for the value, but I do regret trading in my Murano, as it was a vehicle of much higher class.

Given this car doesn't have all the "bells and whistles" as our Nissan Rogue, I truly love driving this car! It's very responsive in drivability and I can't honestly remember ever owning a vehicle in this class that performed this well. Also, the dealership was professional and courteous...all the boxes were checked. Overall just an outstanding experience and will definitely go back for our next vehicle.

OTD price of $10,600 in Feb 2018 for 5 speed manual 1.6s. That included everything. I am up to 54,000 miles with not one single problem. Don't mind the manual windows, but definitely miss the keyless entry. great back seat room. 45 mpg at 60 mph. 38 mpg at 65-70 mph. definitely shakes. Trunk latch has whacked me several time in the forehead with small bleeders. Shakes in heavy wind and you'll want to travel slower. About ready to replace oem tires before winter. cheap walmart high milage synthetic oil changes every 5000 miles. I can recommend the 5 speed manual. I would run from the cvt.
