Overall the car's been disappointing given it being brand new when we bought it. The gas mileage is much less then expected (25mpg's the best we've seen out of it, despite being a 6spd manual) and there are plenty of rattles, along with the dash warping and splitting within the first year and the front brake rotors also warping and causing excessive vibration. I would not recommend because in only 6000 miles we've been given more reasons to bring it back to the dealership then I'd like to admit. Update - tire pressure sensors have gone out, along with o2 sensor within first 25k miles! As far as I'm concerned, nissan makes complete garbage.

My wife purchased this vehicle in 2007 when the versa was new to dealers as a model. It has held up great over the now 5 years that we have owned it. Gets great gas mileage and is very capable in terms of cargo room, seating room and interior quality considering the price. Seat cloth has held up very well as it is a micro-fiber type cloth and is very comfortable and durable. The vehicle is economical in nature so obviously a little lacking in power but less so than competitors that we have experienced. 6 speed manual can be a bit tiresome because of short first gear, but the short first gear also gives the car a little pep off the line that it may not have otherwise. All around a great car for the money!

I love my car!!! Gets 30-40 mpg, great technology, comfortable, awesome features. Six-CD changer, peppy, don't even need a key to start the car. I love everything about this car and I am hoping to drive it until it will not run any longer.

Overall this is a great car I would recommend to anyone if your into low maintaince, great fuel economy & maybe a family of 4-2 being children it's great, if you have a bigger family this car is not for you me & my wife use it for our everyday use, work, great commuter,going to the park with our tennis equipment, fishing, my rods fit no problem as the seats lower for more room, church on Sundays with 2 adult friends & even grocery shopping, wev'e even taken long trips to bear mountain etc and it has never let us down, overall this is a great car to own & I would recommend to anyone.

I absolutely love my car. It is functional, efficient, yet stylish. It has an awesome CVT (continuously variable transmission) which means that when it shifts its doesnt like give you whiplash or anything like that. It is the SL model so it comes with a 6 cd changer, and auxillary, so I can plug my ipod or mp3 player. Its only down fall, if you like to go fast this is not the car for you, it has a 1.8 engine, so it doesn't have much get up and go. SL also come with an upgraded break kit, handling is excellent unless its windy, unfortunately this car catches the wind. It may not have the best acceleration, but this car can go fast, and it handles well at higher sustained speeds. I go about 80 on the highway and it handles like its going about 65. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone! I'm sure you could defintely fix this car up like install a higher powered engine if you don't like the acclereation. But yes overall, its an excellen car, very reliable, very efficient, very stylish, especially the SL hatchback, which is the one I have.
