  • The 2024 #nissan #versa is the cheapest new car in America, starting at $16,130. It may not have a ton of power, but the Versa packs a ton of features at a low price, stellar fuel economy, and surprising practicality. Is it the right fit for you?

    I got the 2024 Mitsubishi Mirage ES, and I've put 5,200 miles on it at the time of writing this. I am really enjoying driving it! (:

    Good balanced review. Thanks for covering the sedan. I'm so sick of trucks and SUVs with one person in them. Most people don't need them.

    Looks decent. With Nissan's history I'd say the manual transmission is a no brainer.

      stopping and starting on a hill is the toughest when you are learning to drive a manual. I 've owned 15 cars in over 50 yrs and never had an automatic. You will be a pro in no time.

    My mom bought a 2024 versa s cvt for 19,000 and she loves it. Its her first brand new car shes ever bought and it has everything she needs and its such a basic but luxurious car for its price. I definitely recommend it for someone who is on budget

    The manual car is horrible on the freeway. It needs a 6th gear. The engine is reving way to high at 75+. The cvt keeps the revs low 👍

  • @JL-is9rg
    @JL-is9rg Před 2 měsíci

    First, good luck finding one on a lot. I'm in Ontario. If you want one it's an 8 month wait on a factory order. The top trim the SR here is the same price as a Hyundai Elantra Preferred or a Forte or the Sentra with more power and features and room. So to say it's "cheap" requires some context. And with all the BS fees dealerships are adding now you will be lucky to get the top trim off the lot (assuming you can find one) for under 30 grand.

  • @mmmmm5556

    16,100 up to 17,800 =1700 plus if the buyer borrows money that is even more. 15000 miles a year at $4 a gallon would probably take 9 or more years to pay for the cvt that won't last 9 years. So how much to replace a cvt vs replacing the clutch?

    C'mon Carbuzz, don't make that Stupid face when you say 10 seconds for the 0-60. You make it look like it was dangereux to ride this Versa. Get back on Earth. Can you envision what arrête 10 seconds? It's nothing, rien, nada. It's not even a flash in your eye. So Fed up with self appointed car reviewers that Think only in micro seconds to get to point a to B. Be real. You usually have some good reviews but this one is out of ils place. Stick with big powerful turbo or V8 engins that make you so happy. Stick with the M1 Abrams clones you use to drive. Happy though you like the car in a way.
