Why the 2008 Nissan Versa?

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.

Why Not the 2008 Nissan Versa?

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.
