Other Choices:

    The 2008 Nissan Versa appeals to buyers who are looking for lower fuel bills and car payments, without giving up the comfort and features of a larger car. But at its best, at 27 mpg city, 33 mpg highway with the CVT automatic, the Versa's fuel economy isn't as good as other vehicles in its price and size range. For instance, the Yaris rates up to 29 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, but like most of these vehicles, the Yaris doesn't feel as roomy inside or have as smooth a ride. The other best-riding alternative is the Chevrolet Aveo, but the Aveo has especially unimpressive fuel economy and safety. Kia's Rio and Rio5 hatchback feel sportier than the rest of the crowd, as does the xD. But the best vehicle in this class is the Honda Fit, which admittedly costs a bit more and is only available as a hatchback. However, it feels sporty, handles well, promises good safety, and has a standout, minivan-like Magic Seat arrangement that allows an especially low, flat cargo floor.

  1. 4 dr manual sedan a let-down

    By Ex Versa Owner | Posted: 23/7/2008

    I bought my brand new 08 versa, 6-spd, 4 dr sedan at the end of April. 3 months and over 6,000 miles later, I still didn't see the "great gas milage" that was promised once "the engine gets broken in a bit." 90% of my driving is highway, and driving in 6th gear resulted in a lot of engine noise (my number one grievance, ahead of even the low mpg's)and the strain you'd normally feel in a 5-speed when you try to go 65 in 4th gear. While these issues did not lead me to trade in my car (a late night encounter with a deer on the highway effectively put an end to my relationship with the versa, as it was totalled due to the blow to the computer) I do not plan to buy another one!
