  • This could be the most important vehicle that is on sale right now. Why you may ask? Because over the past four years people around the world have been priced out of their own livelihoods. The 2024 Nissan versa is a breath of fresh air in an outrageously priced automotive market.

      Lots of their sedan just had year after year of declining sales. Its pretty hard to justify the R&D for a car that has no hope of growth and just more decline. Plus most of their cars were garbage anyway. The Cruze, 200, Focus etc were all pretty famous for being subpar.

      ​@@revnation_autoActually the Focus had declining sales for nearly 15 years and the Fiesta was stuck around the 60k a year mark and starting to dip.
      60k these days for a low profit car is pretty hard to justify for car companies. Plus both were pretty famous for bad quality. They looked nice after their face lifts but both wont be missed. Just not reliable enough. Especially knowing how Ford would end up being number one in recalls this year.

The only negative I could say is, it could certainly use a 6th gear for highway driving to keep the RPMs down. It's kinda weird to be at 3,000rpm at 70mph.

    Since you mentioned a used Corolla to it compare to, I started thinking about it. And I think the used Corolla will be a much better way to go. Of course, a brand new car under warranty has many positive attributes and might be the best decision for some people, but for a lot of people a used Corolla will be much cheaper to purchase initially, probably cheaper to insure, will probably have many options this base Versa doesn't have, will be a better quality/nicer riding car, if one intends to keep it for the long run, the Corolla will _probably_ last longer and cost less to maintain/repair over it's life, and here's the main thing- in a few years, when it's time to sell or trade in, the Versa will be worth less than half of what was paid for it, while the Corolla will _probably_ be worth close to it's purchase price, and could very well be worth _more_ than how much it cost to buy!
    That's just my thought, since it was brought up. I actually like the Versa, and I'm glad Nissan sells a car like this. The car business has gotten crazy in recent years, and it's great to see someone still offering a decent car that's affordable.

Nissan not offering this model with cruise control, fold down seats is a real bummer. I don’t understand the executive decision to have these limitations except that it may be the American public rejecting standard transmissions. No one else offers a standard transmission any longer. But I believe the marketing should try to sell the standard transmission as an advantage. But probably don’t want to play with making the CVT reputation any worse than pure trash reputation it has now.
