  Great commuting car - 2008 Nissan Versa
  By Joe - August 7 - 3:40 am

  100 miles/day and the car is great. Comfortable, but the S needs a center arm rest. Very smooth ride and handles very well. Most interior room of any small car we tested (Yaris, Elantra, Cobalt, Mazda3, Corolla). Im 62" and leg room was very important. This is a great buy for your money. 32 MPG when I drive reasonably, 29 MPG when I keep up with Chicago traffic at 80 MPH.

  Great car! Great gas mileage! - 2008 Nissan Versa
  By Oscar - June 5 - 3:13 pm

  I never though the day would come that I would contemplate buying a compact car; but with 4-5 dollar gas its a no brainer. With a negative mindset for compact cars I set out shopping. I wanted fuel economy, but I also wanted comfort and style. As a third car at home I didnt want to pay more than 13-14K for the car. Basic transportation! After looking at Kias. Toyotas, Hyundais and some comparable GM models, I went to see the Nissan Versa. I found all that I was looking for in this little car. At 62" tall I found the car easy to get in and out of. You do not feel like you are driving a "compact" with the Versa. Plenty of power and good looks. Great fit and finish.

  Very pleased with the cost-benefit - 2008 Nissan Versa
  By jefffleming61 - June 2 - 3:46 am

  I bought this as a "first car" for my daughter in 2008. Honestly, either my wife or I would like to drive it full time! We took a family of 4 on a weeklong beach trip (10 hours one way drive). It was amazingly comfortable and zippy even with 4 adult passengers. My wife calls it the zip zap. The CVT makes it accelerate like a golf cart (on steroids). Just puss the gas pedal and off it goes as fast or as slow as you want. No herky jerky gear changes. As a teenager, my daughter just puts gas in it and goes. We havent been back to the shop for any reason other than normal maintenance. Im very, very happy with this vehicle.

  Happy new Owner - 2008 Nissan Versa
  By Krystal - April 22 - 5:10 pm

  I am replacing a 2002 Nissan Sentra (which I LOVED) and after test driving several competitors I came back to Nissan. I also drove the mid-level Sentra and the Versa has a much better interior layout. LOVE my bluetooth phone and intelligent key. As a small business owner, this feature is a lifesaver and worth every cent! The ABS upgrade has also paid for itself with a $300 per six months savings on my car insurance over the old Sentra. Car is peppy and ROOMY.. almost like the fabled Tardis.. way bigger inside than it looks! I plan to drive this car for 10 years and think it will be a happy love affair.

  Best Car for the $$$ - 2008 Nissan Versa
  By Kim - April 9 - 9:30 am

  After owning my fair share of Honda Civics, I decided it was time for a change. I wanted something that was good on gas and comfortable at a price that wouldnt break the bank. I test drove a Mazda3, Ford Focus & Hyundai Elantra before settling on the Versa. Im 100% satisfied with my decision. While an "economy" car, the Versa SL doesnt lack in quality. The quality of the interior fabric is superb. Its easy to clean & durable. All controls are placed logically & are easily accessible. The CVT is smooth and quiet. Love it!
