Good solid car, and cheap, comes with all the tech

NISSAN VERSA SR 2020 I recommend the SR version only (top of line). Engine feels much better than other trims like SV This car comes with all the technology of 2020 but at a very low price compared to its competitors, Honda, VW, Toyota...Its a very good looking car, but wont stand out like a Bmw, the interior is much better than vw jetta and honda civic 2020 and toyota corolla any trim by far....and those cars are more expensive. So i believe i saved money buying this one.... Performance: just ok its the minimun acceptable, its not a bmw. but it doesnt struggle uphill either. Good on gas, i'm doing 45 mpg in highway with premium gas. The only problem i feel it has is that the steering is to light (feels good though), any imperfections in the pavement change the course of the car so it demands a lot of work while driving....it goes off track easily. even the wind can change its course. the shocks are good anyway Technology: LED headlights are super white and huge, i would say one of the best features. Stereo sounds good. has radars for collision (front and sides), lane crossing, rear camera. all the tech it has. android and apple connect. also automatic emergency braking (back and front). remote start, 1 touch door open/close on handles, no keys... thats cool Interior: small but ok, its the best compared to its competitors, good seats (cloth dark grey), the plastic/leather combination in the front is good quality, doors/windows/etc of good quality. It could come with more fancy lights though. Space is the minimum but ok Exterior: pretty small looking but nice, rims are 17" nice A good car.

Don't Buy

Purchased brand new. Been in the shop multiple times for the brake light sticking on, all the dash lights coming on and cruise control not working. Wish I would have never purchased this vehicle. It's been nothing but a headache.

I I own a 2021 Nissan Versa. It has the CVT transmission. I see nothing wrong with this transmission is mine operate seamlessly. It's just a bunch of hogwash rumors and deformation. This is not a traditional transmission so it's not going to feel like one. Some people complained about vibrations. I bet that's because they had their Lane assist on and was swaying Over The Line it will give you one hell of a vibration. Normal operation. I would recommend a Nissan Versa to a friend

Pleasantly surprised with this low/median priced Nissan. Every perk and safety feature you could want and a very nice, quiet ride!

Would be nice if not for a one fatal flaw!

This would be a nice little car if it weren't for a few issues. First and foremost is the schizophrenic CVT transmission. My 2022 engine-brakes aggressively when you let off the gas and then hesitates, downshifts, and occasionally slips when you accelerate again. This behavior is intermittent and especially annoying while driving in low-speed stop and go situations. The front-end went badly out of alignment with about 10k of gentle commuting. The windshield wiper linkage is squeaks and clicks intermittently. There are also several annoying rattles and buzzing noises that come and go. The seats are rock hard and not ergonomically shaped which makes them very uncomfortable for me and the tire noise is deafening on coarse pavement. On the positive side, it's attractive, feels well-made and gets very good mileage. If not for the above described issues, I'd give it 5 stars.

Great car. Gas mileage is about 25 in the City and 40 in the highway. I paid $18,000 out the door. Worth a test drive.

A relaible fuel efficient car

I bought this car last summer, and have had nothing but good things to say. Keep in mind I'm rating the base 5 speed manual model, who I nicknamed "Nippy Chan". Fuel efficient, the max is listed as 35, I average about 37.5 (again, it's a manual and I'm a conservative driver). The car sounds like it has a turbo on it, but I've had a great satisfaction revving as it has a satisfactory sound. In one year I've driven this car in a plethora of conditions, here's what I have to say: Summer: Air conditioning has never waivered. I've had it on max settings for the coldest and had to turn it off because it was that cold. Even passengers in the back would need a break. And in a years time my mechanic (dealership) has maintained it still doesn't need service (which I can't believe but I digress). Sand/loose dirt: being a door dasher and sole proprietor I've gotten into some sticky situations where loose sand and dirt was an issue. Due to it's light weight, this helped me when digging the car out. Snow: Driving this in nearly below zero temperature, with snow that nearly buried the car, little "Nippy Chan" had no problems turning over. This is due to the full synthetic engine oil, and more efficient engines. Given, I still did have to let him idle, but you have to do that with all cars - including new ones- in the snow. Hills: because I can control the gear, he's never had an issue, and have given some Porche's a run for their money uphill in the San Fernando valley (lol). This car does well with high RPM's. First time I bought him had a situation where I had to chase a perp with the car, got him up to 8,500 RPM and he still did fantastic. Most readers won't be needing to chase people, but he did well for a car with these stats and specs. High speed: *Disclaimer* DO NOT DRIVE RECKLESS, EVER. To be honest, this car handles incredibly well at high speed. How fast? Well, I got him up to 110 MPH - again, don't do this. He handled well and didn't seem to have any issues getting up to said speed. The cab didn't shake, no engine resistance, no lights came on or indicated any engine issues. My issues with this car have been quite minimal compared to some. Safety features: I was genuinely pleasantly surprised to find this car has lidar sensors (basically boat sonar on a car), lane detection, and many times, the impact prevention. I've had several situations where the sensors saved me from an accident, and this engine with dead stop the vehicle, no joke. But of course avoid putting your car in that position as it is hard on the engine. But he's saved my behind more times than I can count from other reckless drivers, one instance, the sensors saw the car coming before I did and dead stopped me at an intersection. I was always skeptical, but now a believer. And in the event that you ever get into an accident, quoting from a driver I know who was in an accident during a roll over: it felt like I was in a padded shell. Even the rear axle that was damaged was fixable under insurance, and that car is chugging along somewhere in California right now. In conclusion: I couldn't be happier with my "Nippy Chain". Reliable, easy to park, fuel efficient, fun to drive, great trunk space, amazing safety features. My only wish is if it had a sunroof, but even without, I love this car. For me, the true sign that I've fallen in love with a car is when I drive by a dealership and ignore the other cars because mine is satisfactory to me. Given, I've driven a lot of Nissan products, primarily Datsuns in my life. I've held off writing a good review because I'm scared people will know how good it is and then my car will be at risk of being stolen. The last cars I drove that were comparable to this one was a 1981 Datsun Bluebird, and a Nissan Skyline. With that latter comparison, let me explain: This car has great "bones". That's to say, it has a lot of potential for racing. Strapping a turbo onto this little guy, new computer, and exhaust system, and retuning the engine parameters wouldn't be that hard because it's a pretty simple yet effective build on a car. It has a great base to it's structure that is easy to maintain and would be very easy to modify. And my end goal is to turn him into a "sleeper" - a car you wouldn't suspect to have high horsepower. It's an even ride that has a lot of potential. Don't believe me, test drive one.
