The Versa has been a great little car for me. I use it primarily to tool around town and commute to and from work. I have, however, taken it on a few longer road trips and never had a problem with it. I have taken it in for its routine maintenance, but that's all the upkeep it has ever needed. I have had guests in my car on many occasions, and they all seemed to enjoy the ride. For a small commuter-type vehicle, it seems to have a good balance. It doesn't seem to struggle when climbing hills or getting up to speed when merging on the freeway, for example. The hatchback is perfect for groceries or tools, and the back seats still feel roomy. I have been able to put a kid in a car seat in the back, and she was comfortable.

This is a great option for a newer standard car/basic commuter car. It's a great car for trips to and from town or for work commute since it gets great gas mileage. Also, it is a smaller car, so it's easier to work in to tight parking spaces when needed. There aren't really any fancy bells and whistles (no AUX cord, which seems to be a pretty common want these days) but will play radio and CDs. The safety ratings are great, and the back provides plenty of room. There's also a good amount of room if needed for groceries and other things in the trunk. Having opted for the standard version, I do miss having a key FOB and automatic locks/windows for the sake of safety, but that also seems to be a smaller matter of preference.
