Although bland both inside and out, the 2009 Nissan Versa is designed to offer maximum space and practicality, and it delivers. Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com show mixed reactions, but they tend to agree with Motor Trend's opinion that the hatchback is "the more...

Other Choices:

Hands down, the best vehicle in this smallest, cheapest class of cars is the Honda Fit. The Fit is admittedly more expensive than the rest, and it's only available as a hatchback, but it feels sporty and substantial on the road, with good safety, responsive performance, and an excellent Magic Seat arrangement in back that trumps ordinary fold-forward arrangements. The Chevrolet Aveo is the other pick of the bunch for ride quality, but the Aveo has unimpressive fuel economy and safety. The Toyota Yaris has the best fuel economy, at up to 36 mpg highway, but it doesn’t feel as roomy or refined. Kia's Rio and Rio5 hatchback feel sportier than the rest of the crowd, as does the xD.

    I absolutely love my Versa. I looked at everything else for over a year and the closest (the Fit and Yaris) were seriously overpriced, had smaller engines and were very cramped. My 6'4" son can sit in the back seat! My car comes with the automatic, ABS, cruise control, spoiler and I paid $13,500. My only gripes are that Nissan could easily have provided a single CD stereo with MP3 capability. I plan to pull this cruddy radio out soon. My other gripe is that I have not local Nissan dealer making servicing a pain in the &(%*.
