Full Test: 2007 Nissan Versa

It looks pretty interesting. With the exception of the Honda Fit, no other car until the Versa really impressed me. This one actually looks pretty decent too.

What about the Yaris?

The Yaris is easily the worst of the 3.

most of these cars have been out over seas for many years.

If anyone copied anything it was chevy.

"the hatchback Versa arrives this July with a base price of $13,255."

that makes the car pointless when i can get a sentra for $10k. unlike the european market, they are forcing americans to buy stuff they don't really need... what happened to a simple car with an adequate engine, an AC with a simple cd player with AUX in? why buy a versa when you can have a sentra for less? why buy a jazz when a civic is a couple hundred more? the yaris is a nice start... but how about making it under $10k?

The Aveo is a rebadged Daewoo and is next generation of Lanos, so it's been around just as long.

Either way, :thumbsdown:

as opposed to your $20,000 matchbox clown car with no spare tire.

Two things: 1) you can get a Sentra for $10k because of incentives and it not being very good and 2) it's $13,255 MSRP, which means the invoice is probably close to $12k. The Sentra is also being upgraded, so the Versa will be the new lowest model in the line.

one can say that the jazz is the great grand son of this

"the VX with a 92-horsepower 1.5-liter with variable valve timing tuned for economy (VTEC-E)... The VX, which also came with lightweight alloy wheels, managed fuel economy figures of 48 in the city and 55 on the highway"

the auto industry is really taking a step back... no fancy electronic motor... no diesel... all done back in 1992.

They're also considerably smaller, weigh a lot less, offer a lot less comforts, much weaker and a lot less safe.
