  So far so good - 2009 Nissan Versa
  By New Nissan Owner - July 2 - 3:10 am

  Well, I traded in my previous vehicle of 6 years, a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. Do I really need to say more here? Ive only owned the car less than a week but this car is terrific. Its exactly what I was looking for. I was between this and the Honda Fit. The view from the Fits drivers seat felt like you were too far back-it just felt uncomfortable. Anyway, going from a vehicle with a mpg rating of 15/11 to 33/27 is certainly going to have an impact on my trips to the gas pump (or lack there of), not to mention how much less it will cost me per fill up. Im very pleased with its roominess, and the 1.8L CVT engine has more pep than most people will think. Spend the extra $$ for the SL if you can!

  I went from having a Jeep Wrangler with a 4 inch lift to this little car at my husbands suggestion (saving $ on fuel, of course). I was extremely hesitant until I drove the car. Its fun to drive with plenty of room for my kids and a trunk large enough to fit several bodies in.

  yall come on now - 2009 Nissan Versa
  By worldismine - May 9 - 4:20 am

  I am at 9000 miles at just 6 months. so you know I am driving this car. I drive 42 miles round trip to work and take trips when I can. I love this car. It is 90 degrees now and I am comfortable with the air. I have only driven it on setting three once or twice. I usually drive with it on the first setting after letting the hot air out. I have moved an office in it so I know it has plenty of space. It is very comfortable for anyone sitting in the back. I drove 211 miles at 85 miles without stopping and got good gas mileage and made really great time. This will get you where you want to go. It might not be the fanciest car out there but for the price. It is hard to beat. Artic Blue my fav!

  this car is 5 stars - 2009 Nissan Versa
  By senojdr2 - May 1 - 3:50 pm

  For the price this car wont be equaled, any time soon. I have tested mileage, and got 32.5 city, 33.5 with both. I am sure of even higher mileage on highway. Any one looking for great quality comfort ride wont be disappointed! The sedan I now drive is the overall best car I have ever owned. I am 75, and have seen my share of cars. Try and buy.

  Happy driver - 2009 Nissan Versa
  By essdee - March 19 - 6:19 am

  We bought the Versa in 2009 in the cash for clunkers program in exchange for an Previa (which had served us very well for 18 years and 225,000 miles) and have done about 30,000 varied miles in the Nissan. It has been trouble free, pretty economical, easy to park in little spaces, a good load carrier and enjoyable to drive. Interior space is generous and the seats are very comfortable but the stowage space around the driver is a bit limited and there is not really anywhere to rest your elbows. Overall build quality is high but the plastic around the heater controls has started to rot. I also find the blue "cold engine" warning light unnecessary and at night easy to confuse with high beam.

  Beautiful - 2009 Nissan Versa
  By Geared2Go - September 18 - 4:46 pm

  Its been said that its goofy looking but I think its grown up looking inside and out. Its quiet and is a nice commuter car in comfort. Huge trunk you could fit a body in. Lots of style. Mines loaded with goodies from bluetooth, upgraded speakers, keyless entry and start, power everything. I love my new car.

  Happy with the Versa - 2009 Nissan Versa
  By Jason - August 15 - 12:03 am

  I bought the car new in July of this year. Am happy with it to date. I dont know about the 1.6, but I find the 1.8 has more than enough power. I do a lot of highway mileage, and the car never has any problem reaching highway speeds. Fuel consumption is Ok... I guess thats the price you pay for having a car with more power and that is slightly larger than the competition. Due to the cars height and its low weight it tends to get blown around a little on windy days, but again I suppose that is to be expected. I think the interior space is exceptional. My father has a Pathfinder and it has nowhere near the interior room that the Versa has. Overall a nice little car, I would buy another!

  great car for the money - 2009 Nissan Versa
  By paul - July 11 - 6:13 am

  traded a 2002 elantra with 160k and wanted another one but the hyundia dealer wasnt moving on the price. Stumbled on to the Versa and got a great deal. Excellent on gas and comfortable too.

  LOVE my Versa, dont miss my Clunker! - 2009 Nissan Versa
  By manyskilz - June 22 - 11:43 am

  Ok, so Ive only had it a week, but its been a great week. I drove everything before deciding on the Versa - it was the best equipped for the $, and has a solid feel, not like that "tin can little car" feel youd expect. If youre buying, spring for the SL with CVT - great mpg, and surprising zip factor. Got 29mpg on first tank. Also surprising - the roominess in the cabin. No cramped legs, no bumped heads. LOTS of storage. Parking is a breeze. Great price, great incentives, great warranty. I drive a LOT, and am very happy and expecting only to grow happier with my choice. Getting lots of compliments too...from "cool car!" to "adorable!" to "wow!" ... this is my second Nissan, wont be last!

  Surprising - 2009 Nissan Versa
  By Bob K. - June 18 - 1:53 am

  I have been looking at autos of this style for the past month. Ive tested the Toyota Yaris, Chevy Aveo, Honda Fit, Kia Rio5, and the Hundai Elantra Touring. Some of them were a bit sportier in style and performance but mostly less than the Nissan. Roominess was and is a hands down to the Nissan. I absolutely despised the instrument layout in the Toyota I guess that I dont like having to look over for the speedo etc.. Price was also a factor with the Nissan hitting the right tone. For those who havent driven the Chevy Aveo be cautioned, if you have to make a left turn and even see oncoming traffic you will be better off to get out and push than to use the accelerator. So far very Happy!
