I purchased a blue 2008 Nissan Versa Hatchback SL in 2009 from a family friend. It had a total of 50 miles on it and had the original plastic on the seats and hood. The Versa is a perfect car for someone looking for something different then the average coupe. It's small but very roomy inside especially the back seat area. It's got great gas mileage and only costs me around $30 to fill up (NY gas prices). The only issue I have with the car is that it is front wheel drive. I live in NY where we can expect heavy snow during the winter. I learned the hard way that the Versa's light weight and front wheel drive does not handle well in the snow and I've gotten stuck in parking spots on multiple occasions. Other than that it is perfect for the other 9 months of the year!

Overall, I think this is an incredible vehicle. I first rented one for a couple weeks on a 7,000 mile road trip. When I got home, I decided to buy the same make and model, and I have not been disappointed. I drive a LOT, and this car really manages hours on hours of driving per day for weeks at a time like a trooper. While it looks small, it's sufficiently spacious, though perhaps the trunk could be a bit larger.
