I've been reading up on this car from various internet articles. It looks like Nissan's version of the Honda Fit. I think it is really going to be a big hit. It has various cameras for parking and gets 40 mpg. I like the size of the car being a little smaller than my 2010 Versa Hatchback. Personally, I like to wait a year or so after a car is released by a manufacturer before purchasing it. Customer feedback will help improve the car in the coming years. I'm still not sold on hybrid or battery operated cars. Thus, I'll be looking to purchase a Note in 2015 or 2016. Depends on the pricing too.

The note has been out for awhile in other countries. I read up on cars not available in the US and there seems to be no big issues with the chassis of the note. The engine we will be getting is the hr16de found in the new sedan. This engine actually has been out since 09 in the US but is slightly revised since 2012. The engine is in alot of nissan cars in other countries and seems very reliable. Some cars to have it are the micra 160sr, quashqi, juke and more I'm sure.
My point is it seems like this is going to be a nice reliable vehicle and I'm looking forward to it's release. My disappointment is we are not getting the awesome UK version with the better gauges, better seats, sportier outside appearance, digital climate control and other goodies. If we got it like the UK one I would highly consider picking one up.

My personal experience is Honda cars are priced higher than Nissan. Thus, if the Honda Fit and Nissan Versa Note are comparable, I bet the Nissan Versa Note would be much cheaper in price and similar in quality. That is why I own a Nissan today. The cars are reliable and the price is right.

The Versa and the fit have always been in the same category of subcompacts. You are correct in saying the nissan's carry much less msrp. They also have cheaper insurance. But on the downside reliability and resale value have been below honda.
The Versa has been the best selling subcompact since it debuted in 2007. It outsells everything out there. The fit sales don't even come close.
