Personally, I think the Nissan Versa is an alright car. As far as the value to cost, it totally makes sense. It's a small sedan, with decent trunk space, an ok sound system, and a good amount of interior space for a compact car. We haven't had many issues that I can think of which is great. I imagine, like many others buying a cost-centric vehicle, that reliability is significant with little room for repair costs. We found out after purchasing our used Versa that it was a rental car previously. That was disappointing but hasn't proven to be an issue in the 5 years that we've owned it.

Overall the car has kept running, but it has been unreliable in some less important aspects of it. The car is white and has kept its physical appearance, except for underneath, where the skid plate and bumper have practically been falling off. Instead of ripping off the skid plate, the car has been put on a lift to actually attach zip ties and they stopped working too. The alignment gets knocked off too easily as well. And finally, the A/C doesn't work anymore. With 70k miles, I think it's a little early for the A/C needing to be recharged.
