Nissan Versa Sedan – Chee’s Opinion:
Add in tax and license when you buy a Nissan Versa Sedan and you could be spending $20,000 – or more – for a car that competes with the likes of the Toyota Yaris. But it’s large inside, with durable and comfortable materials. It drives nicely, too, with capable power from the four-cylinder engine, acceptable handling character for a vehicle of its ilk and a cabin that is by and large a comfortable, quiet place to spend a commute. The CVT transmission takes a little getting used to, but for what this car’s purpose is, it’s a smart add-on. Hmmm. About that purpose. As a small car, the main point of the Versa is to be affordable and efficient transportation. Looks to me like it nailed efficient, but what about affordable?
