I purchased this car because I commute a long distance daily and needed a car that was economical and within my target price range. The car is economical but it is also the bare bones version without any perks giving it a better riding/driving experience.

The Nissan Versa Note is a good little car for traveling in short trips. It has decent gas mileage as well when going around town. The farthest I've driven it is to Moreno Valley/Riverside or to San Marcos and Carlsbad. Each time, I didn't have too much of a problem with gas consumption, though the air conditioner can be a gas hog. When driving, there are a few minor problems. As long as you're on flat roads or ones where there are no steep ascents or descents, it drives very well. It handles great when you need to break fairly quickly but not accelerate so well after sitting still for a few minutes.
