Commons sense and logic are in short supply these days, everyone wants to rock the latest and greatest no matter how buried in debt they have to get in order to impress. Been shopping around for a new vehicle and I'm quite disappointed with the current offering. Thanks again for another great edition, keep up your good work as more than ever in these times of smokes and mirror marketing we need your no nonsense approach to car review.
I am happy to own 2 nice and fairly new Mazdas, the 3 and the CX-5. When I paid them off I knew I wanted to dip my toes into the future and get a hybrid. I test drove and researched and selected the 2025 Camry 5 weeks ago. I’m happy with it and amazed with the 50 MPG it is getting! I didn’t really like the Honda Accord in many ways. The Camry XLE with premium package I bought was $39,008 but I asked them to negotiate or I would walk-away and wait. The manager was cool and provided $1800.00 off and tinted my windows and got me some accessories that I asked for from parts department. All weather floor mats and a nice 3 compartment trunk organizer. I’m not thrilled with the color but there were only 3 new Camrys available and the others were both LE’s. I have Reservoir Blue and it is very hard to keep spotless…shows every speck of dust. The car gets compliments every day which I didn’t expect.
Great review as always Kevin! I remember a full year ago, watching your review on the 2024 Nissan Versa, where you called it the most important car on the market just like now, and I remember thinking then that I agree with you a 100 percent! I still agree with you! In this sea of huge expensive SUVs and trucks, it's so refreshing to find a small brand new car for under 20k!
@@johnkonde1975 yea my friend it truly is great to see vehicles like this continuing to exist for less than $20k they were always here but many pretend like it doesn’t exist
Purchased it in June 2024 and have put 20K miles on it for my work commute yes the hard plastic and the slight get up speed is lacking but overall for what it is required to do it is an amazing vehicle and have no regrets. I purchased the SV trim and felt it was the perfect bang for the buck in gray pearl which is my favorite color behind the Scarlett red. I got it for 19,900 OTD including taxes and everything fees related.With my heavy foot I'm averaging 35mpg combined. My weekender is a 2023 Camaro SS 1LE 6speed.
@@Rvulee I'm not really a negotiator. I just paid the sticker price, with the stated destination charges and the couple of factory options that were included with the vehicle. The only dealer fee that was added was a $250 Documentation fee ( I probably could have negotiated on that). The Dealer made no other additions other than taxes, title, and registration. My out the door purchase price was $19,778. This dealership also included a lifetime (as long as I own the vehicle) Power Train Warranty at no additional charge. $100 deductible on this warranty.
It is 100% true what you said about the older cars being expensive. I was looking at 90s camrys and they sold for like $20k which is what I paid for my Elantra but way less features.
@@Aniki1111 yea that plus buying a used car with no warranty and being on the hook for every maintenance item, repair, less safety, etc and if financing, way higher interest
2025 would be the last year of the Versa (unless 2026 is a redesign with the interior that’s similar to the new Kicks minus the Bose speakers in the seats).
do you recomenned a 2025 Nissan Versa SR Automatic version for consistent highway usage (70-85mph) daily? I'm only asking because I know it takes 10 seconds to go from 0-60mph and here in Florida people drive crazy and you may need fast acceleration? I really like this car all around cuase I can fully max it out for just 25k and get awesome MPG too....thanks in advance
@@FPVMgunit13 instead of an SR Versa I would rather just step up to the Sentra or look at other competing products like the Hyundai Elantra with its 10 year warranty just do some research to see if you have a quality Hyundai dealer in your area if you do decide to go the Hyundai route
I just elected to get the manual transmission which has a decent reputation and can be repaired if anything ever does go wrong. Only problem, and one I don't understand, is that Nissan severely limits what other creature comforts are available with the manual. Mistake on their part - big time.
I believe they are just talking about it. They should not do so. Their strength is their price. If they abandon those who want a cheaper car that will not go over well.

Bought a 2024 Versa in August. LOVE it so far. Manual transmission getting 42-43 MPG, mostly rural, non-highway driving. Love the manual transmission.
Could you please tell me what was the OTD Price that you paid? So I can have a good idea of what to negotiate. Thank you so much

Nissan does make a handsome car.
Obv glad to see the manual option.
Yea my friend it's impressive they still continue to offer the manual in 2025 despite low sales for manuals
Okay your narrative is spot on, I will buy one!
Better get one before the end of 2025 as Nissan will no longer build them after 2025.

did Nissan fixed their transmission problems? I was told by a transmission shop to stay away even with warranty because it’s difficult to get parts.

thought they discontinued it....
Porsche 911 one day, Nissan Versa another day. That is what we call range.
lol yea but this is way more important than any 911
Yo my bro 🤝😎👍🏾👍🏾
Yes sir thank you for being first!
I heard Nissan is going to discontinue the Versa
Yes
I believe they are just talking about it. They should not do so. Their strength is their price. If they abandon those who want a cheaper car that will not go over well.
