"Slow acceleration!". If that's all you got, you got nothing. Got to wonder how much the oil companies pay for negative reviews when all they have is acceleration with comes with lower gas mileage. The Versa take 9 seconds (CV trans) 0-60 and gets incredible gas mileage. That car is quick. I have never had problems keeping up with traffic or merging into traffic on the interstate. If I wanted a drag racer I would have bought a Dodge Charger. My computer shows average highway and city at 42 MPG. I rarely visit the gas pumps. Nice looking, well built, nice ride, accomodates tall people, nice interior. If I had one complaint.......... I would have one complaint. A gentleman saw my car in a parking lot and said it was beautiful and wanted to buy it. I always thought it was great looking. Mine is a 2017 SV. Totally dependable. A dealer offered me trade in on the car for $3,000 less than I paid for it 6 years ago because they are in huge demand and the value seems to be going up for used Versas. I have a friend who travels long distances daily and he has put 190,000 miles on his Versa and has not had any problems. If someone were to total my Versa, I would buy another one. Sales are really down as pointed out by reviewers, sure because YOU CAN'T FIND A NEW VERSA. Nissan must not be making many and all in my area are pre sold before they are even delivered to the dealer. I really like my Versa.

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.

I rented a Nissan Versa because my children wanted it, and it was actually amazing! It was better than my old car, and it could seat the exact amount of passengers I needed it to!

Crap warranty and busted transmission

Warranty doesn't cover the transmission going out on a 4 year old car. It has has little mechanical problems since it reach 30,000 miles, now it would be well over cars value to repair transmission.
