2008 Nissan Versa S review from North America
"The little car that could!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None.
General comments?
This car is so much more than I anticipated; I bought it to commute when gas prices went up, but it has been so much more.
It's economical, spacious, zippy in traffic, responds well and comfortable.
With a removable roof rack, I can carry two kayaks.
The trunk, while it looks small, actually fits a decent amount of gear. (4 people, a dog and a weeks worth of luggage for each on a 1,000 trip and no one complained!)
I have found that by removing the front passenger head rest and pushing the seat all the way forward, it WILL lay flat if I get caught in bad weather while camping.
Get better gas mileage in winter when not running the A/C of course.
Only thing I would change about this car is the lack of arm rests on the front seats.
