Although it seems like CD is beating up the versa in the review, they gave the V the award for best buy in the small car segment. The Altima dropped off as best buy this year, but I have seen tons of altimas and vs on the road. I went by the Jackson Ms. plant a week ago. That place is huge.

Nico has a habit of beating up the V pretty good. I figured I would update any prospective V owners that the car is the right choice.

You came by work and never even honked? Shame. I could have said hello.

There's a reason 5,500 new Versas are sold every month and it has ~25% of the market.

One thing I noticed going through North Central Ms. was the number of Altimas on the road. A large amount. Also, are the other Nissan models made @ the Jackson plant. Like the Maxima. The more I look @ that car the more it looks like a premium brand car. Not just a high brand.

Same here, I wanted a hatchback for sure; if Nissan didn't have the Versa back then, I probably would have gone with a different hatchback.

Like I have covered before. I was moving to daytona beach. My outback was useless in florida. I shopped around for the best car for the lowest price with all the goodies. I thought it to be impossible. I almost bought a Rio lol. They are nice little cars but they are medium brand cars.The rio was 14,500. Plus all the small cars had a/c and radio optional. So I dug further. Googled small cars with standard air conditioning. Only the V had standard a/c. That was like a 800 to 1 grand savings. Plus the stock s model listed @ 12,400 I'm pretty sure. The first year V s model was 11,900. Also, Throw in the hatchback option with most other car models. It was like 500.00 plus and the V was 11,900 as a hatch. So I settled for the V because the options markup was non-existent. I bought a V with auto and the power group for 12,900. It was a factory preowned so it was covered pretty well. I am still happy with the decision. If I did want a sedan I would have bought a silver Sentra factory preowned. They are quick with the cvt and that color agrees with the dorky look lol.
