Steering Wheel problem, rattling noise
Source: Edmunds

...Steering wheel rattles everytime I enter exit driveways, bumpy parking lots, when turning left and right.
I have this being checked since the first two months of my maintenance and no one could fix it.
I think this is a factory defect parts. Services in 2 dealerships have failed my satisfaction already.
I have email Nissan Canada, nobody seems to care. So I from now on, after that I could dispose this vehicle, no more Nissan for me.
That's it. I'd rather buy a bit higher priced car than with this brand...

I love my versa! makes me happy!
Source: Edmunds

...Definitely worth the upgrade to the SL, the S and base versions don't have as nice interior (armrest,upholstery, ipod). This car is perfect for my commute and it's fun to zip around the city in. It's comfortable to drive and isn't goofy looking like the scion or the fit. It gets good gas mileage, handles well, and drives fine on the freeway and in the city. I've read reviews where they say it's a snooze to drive, but I disagree. It's got the ipod jack and cruise control, and it feels like you are in a much larger car. My family and friends can all ride comfortably in it!...

New Versa Yesterday
Source: Edmunds

...I bought my Versa yesterday, so cannot speak on its reliability and build yet.
I drove both the S and SL versa hatch. The S was a smooth, quiet ride with lots of room, power and comfort.
No trouble getting up hills and good acceleration. The SL improved with the CVT and extra options, but the S would have done the job fine...

Would not buy another one
Source: Edmunds

...I have had the Versa for about 4 months; I would not buy another one.
This car has been back to the dealer several times to fix small problems.
It has several flaws that are important to me. One the AC is undersized for Florida, when out in the heat you need to put the air flow to recycle to keep the cabin cool.
Although the noise level when running is the lowest of the other cars I test drove; it is the loudest car I ever be in when you accelerate.
Last but not least. The drivers side window wiper is about twice the size of the passenger side, and it throws its water on...

First Nissan
Source: Edmunds

...I always avoided considering Nissans going back to the Datsun days (B210s).
When I checked out the Fit, Yaris, and Accent in looking for a simple good mileage car, I almost ignored the Versa, being biased against Nissan.
I did my homework on all the above cars and kept on coming back to the Versa as the best overall value.
When the dealer finally had a 2009 s 6 spd available, I made the jump and after the first 1500 miles, am very glad I did.
So far it's a great little car that's fun to drive.
I tend to keep cars (last car 1995 Saab 9000 with 305,000 miles) and felt...

Second Versa and love it...
Source: Edmunds

...Had a 2007 Versa and loved it, so got a 2009... great commuter car.
Just want a reliable comfortable car with good MPG and got it.
So much room inside, it is really unbelievable - 350 lb.
passenger in back seat was very comfortable. Two-hour drive on hills, no problem... performance was great. Plenty cargo room since interior so spacious...

2008 Versa
Source: Edmunds

...Nice care for the money. Spacious interior, and decent ride.
Could use a little more power, but we didn't buy it to be a sports car. We just wanted a reliable family sedan, and the Versa exceeds that need...

Smiles from Everyone
Source: Edmunds

...My wife loves the fact that when she drives around in her Versa, everyone looks at her and smiles.
It's not a common car around here, but she picked it out because she thought it was the cutest.
Inside it feels like a larger car. We got a sunroof (the only car in its class that had one as an option) and like the way it handles.
CVT is smooth with lots of power and pep! With only 500 miles on the engine, got 32 MPG on highway, 27 MPG on Vermont back roads...

Safety
Source: Edmunds

...I was in a car crash in 2007 with another type of vehicle.
I was very concerned about replacing my vehicle. I had to have a safe vehicle with airbags and a proven safety record.
My Versa met every requirement that I needed and believe me I spent many hours reading reviews and also looking at all types of vehicles.
The Versa had everything I needed and was at a great price.
The dealership that I bought from was friendly and they were very patient with me, answered all my questions and realized how much safety was important to me.
I love my vehicle and have recommended...

Fourth Nissan car
Source: Edmunds

...Never had any problems with any of them, general care, tires @ 70,000 miles and old change on a regular basis. My Versa car was purchased for the price and gas prices for driving to work. Its just me and my husband. Versa base model with no extras no power locks,no power windows, etc. I researched all the other types of small cars in this area with about the same conclusion. Versa! 500 miles great car. Design area: No place to put your right arm while driving. Light in car not good for front light for people in the front seat. All in all good car for the price and gas needs...

Why should I also consider these?

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.
