2008 Nissan Versa Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by ericb2410

Price or payments
It is a relatively cheap car overall, and definitely in its class of vehicle. A value, for sure.
Safety & braking
Superb crash test ratings, along with multiple airbags in key locations, along with a well-designed roll cage.
Fuel economy
While not as high as advertised, it does have decent economy for a car with such great volume and body profile.
Controls and instruments
The controls are intuitive and still very ranged. Everything feels as though it is where it should be, and it is all designed in a very durable manner.
Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity is amazing, no complaints there. Towing is impossible, however, and roof racks greatly compromise the weight to power train ratio and the transmission and engine feel sluggish with the slightest increase in weight.
Audio & nav systems
There is no nav system, but the audio is decent. Nothing special out of a car like it, but the driver is certainly left wanting more.
Handling
The body roll is very reasonable, but the sheer height that the Versa gets to makes it feel a bit top heavy and clunky when cornering at very high speeds. The stock tires are dismal, which aids nothing.
