2021 Nissan Failure

The 2021 Versa is undoubtedly the worst car I have had the displeasure of driving. The driver and passenger seat lacks armrests, the seats are small and extremely uncomfortable. The ride on normal highway at normal speeds are sometimes a challenge to maintain a strait line as the front end does not seem to be balanced with the rear and floats under normal driving conditions. I would not let my kids drive this car as it is unsafe!!!
Smooth Drive

Had this car for a couple of months, was really into going to the Galveston beach at the time. When I would hit 80 on the highway, thought the engine would jump out. Engine very weak. Good if you need it for simple driving around town, or from one very gentle like a young girl or grandma. On the small side, but could fit my 6'3 ex boyfriend at the time.

My vehicle drives smoother and brakes are better, I also needed air in my tires due to the weather messing with my pressure and my vehicle is well.

I recently picked up a used 2021 Versa S 5-speed Manual in Black. 20k miles. Great gas mileage, comfortable ride, smooth clutch, smooth shifts, and decent handling. I always wanted a Versa because of the affordability and reliability (manual transmission). There is "some" rev hang but its very manageable, at least for me... and its barely noticeable. Despite the low performance numbers, the car has no problem getting up to highway speeds safely. I have not problem merging or passing on the highway. Yes, the car could DEFINITELY use a 6th gear, but the gearing of the 5 speed reminds me of the 5 speed BMW transmissions that had no overdrive gear... Overall, I love this little car, and for $16K, you can't beat it.

This car has been great so far, and I'm a good judge of cars in this class since I own this, an '18 Kia Rio and a '16 Honda Fit. Each has their positives and negatives, but this write-up is to review the Versa only, of course. Pros: 1) Easiest manual transmission I've ever driven. First gear is geared very low so I haven't killed it yet when taking off. 2) Well-built. The car is comfortable and roomy and has a large trunk for the class. 3) Smooth engine. The engine, while not a powerhouse, is smooth and quiet right up to redline. 4) Nice ride. Firm but comfortable ride is how I'd describe it. 5) Good handling. Reassuring when taking curves. 6) Reliability. So far, so good. No problems. 7) Easy to work on. I've looked around when changing the oil and the oil is certainly a snap to change and I can see the starter would be super easy to change, too. Also the transmission oil looks simple to change. 8) Attractive. This, of course, is subjective but I think it's a nice looking car, especially for its class. 9) Well equipped - lots of nice safety touches for the low price. Cons: 1) Low gearing. You're pushing about 3300 rpm at 70 mph. Could use a 6th gear. You get used to it, but still.. 2) Paint may be soft. I bought mine used and there are a lot of swirl marks in the paint (but I don't know what the car went through before I got it) 3) Could use more power. If you 'get on it' it'll scoot, but more horsepower would add to the fun. 4) Resale could be a problem with Nissan's future in question and people still gun-shy about the JATCO CVTs (even though this is a manual). 5) Could be quieter on the road. I think this may be more the tires than anything (unlike Hondas which put off a lot of suspension noise).
