For the average person, since they can't get the CVT on the base S trim, this is going to be a just under $20K car. Which still is quite good for this messed up Day & Age. So, # 1 biggest Pro is going to be price. Another Content Creator took a serious look at the engine bay and underneath the car. # 2 Pro is that it's going to be easy for a mechanic to work on. And, # 3 is that it doesn't look like a Penalty Box from the outside. It has got some surprisingly nice styling. As for the inside, well; you do have that center stack that doesn't remotely interfere with visibility. Unlike most cars nowadays costing significantly more money that seem to have a tablet partially bolted onto the dash that sticks up far too much! So, that's Pro # 4. Naturally aspirated engine is definitely a Pro too, # 5. Shouldn't be too difficult to get financing. Very inexpensive new cars have that advantage # 6. Finally # 7 is that such cars are usually affordable to insure. Unfortunately, this car has two big issues: 1 ~ While the engine is reliable, the Jatco CVT does not have a great reputation for reliability. Get the CVT flushed once every 20,000 - 25,000 miles and the Versa should last you easily 100,000 miles. 2 ~ As honestly mentioned in the video, yes it's slow! That'll be a deal-breaker for some. Completely understandable. But your other options are, buy used and hope the car you bought is reliable. Or, pay thousands of dollars more for a faster car. Overall though, the Versa is a good one if you're on a very tight budget. Have a job. Need to get there on-time, but Public Transportation in your area is a joke.
I checked the dealerships in a 50 mile radius of Orlando, the starting price for the S model is over $18,000 for the manual vehicle. That’s with out taxes, title, dealer prep or destination charges. So I don’t know where you can find one starting at $16,200.
In 1994 I purchased a new Honda Civics Ex. It had a naturally aspartate I-4. It also made about 125hp. Ironically the MSRP for that top trim was 16.090. Nice job Nissan. As usual Fantastic review GP.
I own a 2022 Nissan Versa S automatic. Here are the pros & cons I've experienced. PROS: Price. Insane amount of safety features for a base model. Fun to drive. 35 mpg. Hill assist. (Automatic & manual) 60/40 folding rear seats. Automatic only. May not come standard in any models past 2022? Relatively inexpensive to repair. Huge trunk. Versa's from 2020 & up look great! You can turn off any annoying features. (Lane departure, collision warning, auto headlights) CONS: Jatco CVT transmission. Cue dramatic music. (Automatic only) Does not come with center console. After market available for $50 on a site that starts with A. No folding rear seats. (Manual) Base model sits very low to the ground. If you have problems getting in & out of a Corvette you'll have problems here too. No oil/temperature gauge.
The Versa is my favorite vehicle, I’ve owned three of them. Unfortunately since it doesn’t have an option for AWD or 4WD I won’t be getting another one.
You'll not regret it. I just bought myself a 2024 SR trim came with nice features. Only two things I hate about is no wireless CarPlay and fog lights. ✌️
You'll love it! I have a '24 Versa S (base) with the CVT automatic, and it comes standard with safety feature like, collision prevention, pedestrian prevention, and a lane keep assist, as well as automatic headlights. It's not bad. I'm 6'4 and fit very comfortably
Where I live the roads are terrible. I wish testers would drive on poorly maintained roads as this can really bring out issues with suspension and noise
I just priced one yesterday. Once you add tax, title, doc fees, destination fee, etc., etc., the car's final sale price rises from $16,665 to almost $20,000, for the manual transmission base model. And to get that, I have to go one state over, because my state's dealerships are marking it up $2000+, for the base with manual transmission. So if i buy it, i have to fly to another state and drive the car back home 700 miles. Not sure it's worth it. I'm buying cash, paid in full and they don't like it. I don't understand. Since when is cash not king. They want me to finance. It's out of hand. It's a corrupt business,
@cliffdariff74 more like why get the automatic...the auto is a cheap peice of junk jatco cvt transmission that is notorius to have failure at as little as 15k miles .In a Manual you can choose at which revs you want to shift leading to better mpg plus you get 10-15 percent more power since automatics result in some power loss and most importantly its actually RELIABLE!!!!!
Hello from south east Asia. I'm driving the 3 row version of this car with an almost exact machine and 3 pedals since 2007. I only change the clutch once. The latest Nissan CVT from jatco is much improved in terms of reliability but it doesn't mean maintenance free. Manual transmission are the way to avoid hassle in the future. I hope Nissan USA will provide 5 speed manual for the Versa and 6 speed one for the Sentra on the sportier trim
Once again.... where can we find a desler that will have a starting msrp at $16.5k ? ... can we order one from any nissan dealer? They all come with existing add ons starting a 21k here in Northern California
And what most of you don't know, Versa's always held more value than Sentra' and Altima.

They are marking it up a few grand
Welcome to the world of car sales, kid

As a 2024 Mirage owner, I also like the Versa. But they sadly don't sell for MSRP. I was looking at these back in 2019.
Exactly!!
Thanks for the review. I've owned a 2024 Versa S-trim for a month now, and I love it. Auto transmission.
The Versa is my favorite vehicle, I’ve owned three of them. Unfortunately since it doesn’t have an option for AWD or 4WD I won’t be getting another one.
My step daughter has one. Nice car
Nice review. I am also surprised you didn't stop at the stop sign. Haha......
I got SV model a week ago. Im loving it. Im in vancouver Island
THANK YOU IVE BEEN ON THE GATE ABT THIS CAR, I NEEDED THIS
Hopefully someday, this will be my first car.
Same, still got 2 years till I’m legally allowed to

Amazing review bro.
Can't beat the price.
It's not the price... try to find one at his prices.
@@cliffdariff74 I bought a 2023 last year (automatic) @19,241, after tag taxes 22,280.
Yep, never can find one at that price. It’s a dream.

Great car for the money. Just don’t expect a Maxima.
Where can you get one for 16k? I can't find one for less than $18,500. After tax and dealer fees $21k
If I were to buy it, I'd get the manual.
Why? Less gas mileage, harder to resell
@@cliffdariff74 It would last much longer.

Only on base model. Fine with me, but not for everyone.
I want a hatch with MT.
Car makers should avoid LED light if it makes car expensive or fancy. I personally like halogen lights no issue

got a manual at 17.5
Nice 👍
What is the financial health of nissan? They gonna be around 5 to 10 years from now?
They are not 16K. Almost every dealership is marking them up to 20K.
starting out at 16k. It cant be purchased for 16k.
Unfortunately it's impossible to find one for 16k
This should come in the
J0E B|DEN edition 😂😂 represents his economy perfectly!! ⛽️ 💵
The base "Bidenomics" trim level
@@jazzthis7451 LMAOOOOO 😂 that’s hilarious
The Joe Biden edition would cost $75,000
I actually call mine my Biden car 😂😂😂 I bought a 2019 with 31 thousand miles about a month after he stole the election. It's been a great car!!
@@lisapienschke100 that’s great! I hope it lasts you many more miles. Because of jbiden my car got repossessed 😢
GJ!
Look how crappy the material on the back seats are
Only Toyota long lasting car
Only $16000. I wish i was rich
Only $16000
Don't believe 😂 let me know if u can find one at that price.
Exhaust clip? 😂
I love gloss black on a car it just looks so much better it looks cleaner, unlike that idiot Joe raiti 😅
That’s not the price. It’s a « US » lie 😆
don't turst Nissan very weak car transmission is not good
