This car is what 75% of people should drive and can afford. But instead they want to be heavily in debt but be driving a car worth what they make in a year. It is what it is.
Yea but afford is the wrong word because the transmissions fail in these like clockwork and they will need to spend 5k plus on a new transmission while on other actually reliable cars you can go 300k with no major problems
@@austinta4017unless it breaks down in 3 years or less
@@austinta4017 you could do that but you could also get a 2021 Camry with more power,better driving and better safety technology with only 20k miles for the same 20k listing price in my opinion I rather get the slightly older Camry for the same price that can last three times as long
@@austinta4017 I’m In Chicago where people list their cars at a pretty expensive price and I can show you cars that are 20k for 20k miles -30k miles and some top trims with 40k so idk who told you Toyotas where this big luxury brand but they are relatively inexpensive,the only expensive ones are the new ones or hybrids
That car is like driving a box lol
My friend left me her 2010 versa hatchback. We were close friends, I became her roommate and then cared for her until she passed away 😪. We turned 30,000 miles together in that car around 2021. It has never had any issues with me or her for that matter. I do worry about it aging out (everything breaking) before I hit high mileage. I tease saying I need to put my foot on the asphalt to help it up a hill or get on a short freeway entrance. But I am Blessed to have known her. To have been there for her when she needed someone to be her health advocate and for her gift of this car.
Cheers to other Nissan Versa owners.
Sorry to hear that, how old was your friend when she passed?
She was 73. She had a few years on me but she was one of my closest friends and more like family.
More like this. U should do a base trim contest of cars around 20k
The SR trim level has LED headlights, a wireless phone charging pad, and turn signals located on the outside rear view mirrors, for starters.
They are also hard to come by, as the Base S, and SV mid level trims are more common.
The Versa is basic affordable transportation that is easy to live with, and easy to weave and maneuver in and out of city traffic.
Have 2015 - Non CVT - That year you have choice if you go for the Base model. I'm planning to keep 20 years or until it rust out - no issue yet for $ 15,000 No payments. if 20 years = $1,000 a year avg not trying to impress anyone except my pocket.
This is a great, affordable, reliable car that people can use to just sinply get from point a to point b. Coming from a 15yo who is still in high school, might just be my first car. Also, CVTs can be just as reliable as toyotas and hondas transmissions. My father has a 20' kicks with 71,000ish miles. Changed the transmission fluid when he was supposed to, and it runs like a clock. Get some info before you start commenting.
A word of advice. Please check the VIN if you plan on buying one. If it begins with 3, then stay away. It was assembled in Mexico. My 2018 was assembled in Mexico, and it has poor workmanship all around. As opposed to some of my friends who have Versas and theirs was assembled in Japan. And they have no problems with their cars.
And change your cvt fluid every 20k-30k miles.
Something I wished someone could of told me when I got my Nissan Sentra few years back change the cvt fluid yeah would of still had the vehicle seem like the sentra was getting old gas mpg idk and sometimes when you filled it up the gas gauge wouldn't be accurate idk misleading when it's full idk it was okay car too bad for there cvt transmissions.
I wish I had known this information sooner, too late now. My lil bro has one and yes the vin # starts with 3.

I didn’t know anything also until after the fact. To anyone reading this, CZcams is such a great place to do research about a car. There are so many channels with real mechanics. I thought Nissans were bulletproof like years past. I didn’t know about jatco cvt transmissions. I didn’t know about assembly plants in Mexico. Last year my warranty ended. But just within those 5 years, the engine stopped on me twice. Luckily it was from a parked position and not on the road. There was a leak in the AC system the first year. Violent shaking in the third year. $600 job to replace the engine mount and not covered. Plastic parts on the windows falling off. Rear Bumper now rattling a bit.
Currently at 40k miles but all stop and go traffic as I live on an island. I don’t see this car lasting 100,000 miles tbh. And it’s a shame also. It’s a great car when it works. I love the small design. And I’ve followed maintenance schedule religiously.
Gearing up to trade it this year. But I’m not going with Nissan anymore. Probably looking at a Mazda or Toyota.
@@jafp1617
I do hope it lasts for your brother. Who knows. Maybe in the past 5 years, the transmissions gotten better and cars that come out of Mexico have better quality control.
But all the same, my experience has already made my decision to never get another Nissan again.
Oh man! my vin# start 3 as well! 🙄
When I bought this car the finance asking to buy extension warranty and I decided. Hopefully, I won't regret in buying this cheap Nissan.
Great review! I prefer basic cars with few electronic gizmos that I will never use.
The problem with Nissans are the Jatco CVTs. Otherwise, they would be great affordable vehicles
They still haven't fixed the problem?
Jatco CVTs. Some assembled in Mexico also.
Manual option with Versa..go with the 5sp instead
They fixed the new onea @@IQscan51
@IQscan51 they fixed the issue and more reliable beginning in 2019 to current. People are still living in 2012-2018.
This is good for first time. Younger generation they don’t need the most expensive cars.
It seems to me this Nissan Versa is an upmarket version of Dacia Logan(3rd gen), the most affordable new car sold in Europe with prices from 13500 to 17500 euro. At first glance it doesn't seem like, but the windows line and the meeting point of the front panels are remarkably similar. Also Dacia is part of Renault Group which is part of Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance.
get the 5 speed manual
Need the manual transmission
I'm buying Versa SR so I saved up money to buy a C7 Corvette later 😬
I rented one of these once. I thought it was great! I mean really, a surprisingly pleasurable vehicle to drive.
Are there a bigger wheel size like a 17 inch available?
what a blast from the past!
I love my 2019 Nissan Versa Note SV
instead of a beeping noise i would ignore or not know what it is indicating. a speaking voice telling me an object is close behind me is something i would pay attention to. otherwise the less electronics the better.
Every manufacturer should have a vehicle in this price range/segment. I miss the Chevy Spark. I love affordable small cars. I'd get the 5 speed to save money and future headaches with the CVT.
The Versa is much, much better than the antiquated Mirage. I hope Nissan keeps building the Versa. Getting up to speed on the highway is the only reservation I have about this car. I am planning on getting one when I retire.
I would consider the manual transmission. One of the few left.
looks like an addendum sticker on the front windshield? 😂
It may be affordable but I wish I hadn't bought mine. This car is shorter than the 2015 Versa I had. Rear seats have no leg room. Trunk is smaller. Front passenger seat can not be changed in height. Glove compartment is smaller. You have to buy your own screws to attach the front license plate. At this time you can't get the cameraa (which cover a large part of the windshield), auto dim rear view mirror factory installed. The worst part is they built the car with crevices that can't be cleaned of debris all over the car ( too many recessed gaps between top and sides of car and front and rear windows. Not worth the cheap price.
Bring back the versa note. It was a cool looking hatch. What does America have against hatches?
Right? I have the 2018. Great city car. Since it is now discontinued, I was planning to get a Honda Fit after this car, and even that one was discontinued. SMH. So I thought, maybe I’ll get the Yaris hatch. And that’s discontinued as well. Sigh.
@@Al-ok1ljit’s apocalyptic! Now only the golf and the Mazda 3 are left. I don’t like those for some reason. I’m still driving a 14’ fiesta with a chrome grill, works like a dream!
@@Squidward_Tikiland There's also the Mitsubishi mirage, which honestly isn't as bad as people suggest. It's not fast, but my current toyota matrix has similar 0-60 times and doesn't unbearably slow. You get used to it.
This things is going riiiiight next door to Hertz
Great car, especially for the money.
Does this come in a manual?
Da
Hi Ben, thanks for the video. In your opinion, how is the versa cabin noise compared to mirage? Especially the road noise, since both versa and mirage are the cheapest cars in the market
versa is very quiet compared to a kia rio which i needed ear plugs for. it also has a timing chain and not a timing belt that will break and cause engine damage.
Nissan needs to bring back the Xterra SUV. We need more basic 4WD SUVs without all the bells and whistles.
It is what I would buy if my company didn’t give me 58 cents a mile. I can only get that if my car is less than 3 years old and over $35K.
it's transportation!
hi ❤
What people would be better off driving is decent used cars, that are serviced well at half this price. We have far more cars in America than people, and the fact that most people actually have to finance something like a car, that looses much of it's value as soon as it's driven off the lot, to me is ridiculous.
Nissan versa is a OK car to me
Not for me!
See the manual is actually worth it but unless 90% of drives are willing to learn manual this is not it ,please don’t buy Nissan’s cvt is a waste of your money
Less horsepower than the 1992 Integra I had, yikes
This isn't a class of car that would have completed with Integra back then though. A Toyota Tercel which I got as my first car used is a better comparison as a car of the same class as the Versa. The Tercel had a 1.5L with 92hp. So there is some pony progress in the subcompact world.
Buy this car in manual while you can
Not impressed. Bring back the versa note back 😎
You lost me at CVT, Nissan's CVT might just be the worst transmission in the auto industry.
Mitsubishi Chevy and Nissan they all used the same jacco transmission
Good to know.
There’s always an addendum sticker on these vehicles which he never eludes to. The price isn’t what he quotes them to be for sure.
Conspiracy theory much? You can always put your "theory" to the test and look these vehicles up on the dealer website. Be kind and have a nice day.
@@davidcmatson they don’t add the addendum sticker numbers to look up via their stealership website. They know better then to do that or buyers wouldn’t come in for the ole bait and switch Forrest. Use a bigger glass of water to take your meds next time.
I am leasing one same model & color in a 5 speed & so far the hub caps seem to fail as I had them replaced. No Android Auto or Apple CarPlay which stinks. No HD Radio & the FM isn't very sensitive & AM is very noisy when I accelerate. There is no aftermarket sound system that will work with it yet. All I did to mine is add an aftermarket alarm system for keyless entry & came with a fob. Worst part of this model it was made In Mexico & they not hold up to well after a few years due to poor quality control issues there.
CVT transmission. Never buy one
I guess I'll avoid Toyota and Honda as well.
It’s not bear bones because a cheaper model has a manual
Get the manual ,the Nissan cvt are know for breaking down very soon after purchase
If you can find one
@@MrBacchus18 yea they are hard to find but if you can they usually sell them cheap because they are some what “undesirable”
@@octaviodominguez7772 For curiosity's sake I did a quick search and there was one grey Versa with manual nearby me.
