Latest issue of Consumer Reports listed Versa as “Least Reliable” among small cars.
Won’t find me buying one.
Some of them are, some are made in Nissan’s new robotic plant in Mexico.
I don't know why they quit making them.
I think these are assembled in Tennessee
“No, I was asking you to come off the highhorse and start comparing apples to apples. I don’t care if you drive a Unimog.”
Wrong again. Your exact statement was “Let me know when you come across something in 4WD for less than $10K.”
Nissan won’t be selling this car in 4WD for less than $10k - closer to $13k, and the gas mileage will be less than the FWD variant. You cannot find any published details from Nissan to the contrary.
Since Toyota ruined the Scion xB, I’m waiting to check out the Nissan Cube.
Hey, I don’t have a problem with this little car. I think it’s great depending on a persons’ needs. I’m stuck in a ‘07 Silverado that I’m happy with and can’t do without.
Your Ford Fusion’s base model MSRP, today, is $19,035 with an invoice price of $17,707. The MSRP is almost twice as much.
Its EPA rating is 20/29.
Double the price is “marginally higher”?
/smarta$$ remark
You should have typed, that this car is "just another tin can with wheels, but different." LOL
My Mom has a Vibe. Roomy, comfortable, good gas mileage - never had a problem and it’s been 3 years. She loves it.
Behold the new soviet car of the USSA!!!
“Death trap. A Honda Civic gets better gas mileage and is safer (scores well in crash tests), and isn’t that much more money.”
Correct. The Civic is an excellent car. Even larger cars like a Toyota Camry can gets 32 MPG, seats 5 comfortably, has a trunk where you can put luggage and in a real world crash test will provide more protection.
If folks want a micro car, more power to them.
“Wouldn’t A rollerskate without wheels be a boot. “
If it’s wrecked and repaired, I suppose that makes it a “reboot” ?
;)
I was an Escort wagon guy too. I loved that car. If they still made them, I would get another. It was great on gas, great in the snow and maintenance was cheap. I could even carry 2 canoes on the top with an add on rack. I have an Escape now but I miss my Escort.
Same thing here - I wouldn’t buy an econobox but realize that there is a significant portion of the population that wants them.
For what most people would use this econobox for, I have a Honda motorcycle.
I remember when I paid $3700 for a 1988 Ford Crown Victoria with 107,000 miles. It drove like new and got 30 MPG highway, which is where I drove it exclusively. That car floated down the highway like a big soft boat. I put another 120,000 miles on it, then sold it for $700.
I miss my Crown Vic.
Some in Mexico, some in Japan, I believe. I think they’re also looking at setting up yet another plant here in the US to make them.
My old Datsun 810 was, by far, the worst car I've ever owned. I haven't bought a foreign car in about 18 years, and if I did so again, it would NOT be a Nissan.
