2015 Nissan Versa vs. Its Competition

2015 Nissan Versa Sedan SL
Bengt Halvorson Bengt Halvorson Senior Editor

We'd recommend keeping it basic with the Versa.

If you add top options like the Tech Package, you can drive the bottom-line price up toward $20k.

Quick Specs
6.6
The 2015 Nissan Versa sedan and Versa Note hatchback are as about as inexpensive and no-frills as new cars get today. Spacious interiors and and decent ride comfort are their strong points, and they're best matched up against slightly upmarket, late-model used cars.
7.6
The 2015 Chevrolet Sonic is comfortable, stylish, safe, and drives well, and almost completely blots out our memory of a much worse Chevy Aveo from the past.
7.6
The 2015 Fiesta lineup is proof that small cars don't have to be feature free, and you can even have a bit of fun while saving fuel.
8.2
The 2015 Honda Fit might not up the ante in sportiness, but it offers up exactly what urban small-car shoppers want in safety and convenience features—and it's still as good as some utility vehicles or vans with its wondrous, unmatched Magic Seat setup.
7.2
The 2014 Hyundai Accent isn't exciting to drive, but it's one of the most comfortable, well-equipped cars its size--and still a great value.
6.8
The 2014 Toyota Yaris is built for city commuting, but on highways it reveals some major weak spots.
