Nissan shot themselves in the foot with this car. It is underpowered even for it's fuel economy. It is so anemic it has trouble getting into traffic, and it's acceleration is so poor that it has trouble getting up to speed on a merge ramp. It is also very loud, as if the sound insulation around the engine is faulty or just non existent. The gauges are rimmed in chrome which makes them flash in bright light making them difficult to look at. The sun visor is small and poorly positioned, such that when used it provides very little help. There is only one 12 volt hookup in the vehicle. The ride is average at best and it's turning radius is actually worse than most of the larger cars I've driven. The only pro about this car is it was affordable. Unfortunately it comes off as not just inexpensive but cheap.

I own the Nissan Versa sedan in white. The quality of the car is very high and after 86,000 miles it is still extremely reliable and has had minimal servicing needs. For being a little car with a small engine, it has quick pick up and the brakes aren't too sensitive or too stiff. The dash is stylish and placement of buttons and compartments are perfect.
