Hi folks!
I love the pre-2012 Versa sedans, but probably not the way most people here do.
I own FOUR of them, whose odometers read from 115K to 216K miles. The first one I owned was a 2007 model. Today I own one 2009 SL sedan and three 2010 SL sedans.
Why do I love them? Because I own a driving school, and pre-2012 Versa sedans are the PERFECT driver's training equipment.
The passenger is close to the driver (so an instructor can reach the wheel), but the car isn't super-small. For its price we got great technology including bluetooth. The driver seat moves vertically. And most important: Visibility. Both driver and passenger can see everything, whether they're short or tall. That keeps us safe. (I own sedans because the rear window of the hatchback is a bit small for what we do.)
This year I was all ready to update our entire fleet to new cars. I looked at everything: Corolla's, Civics, American cars, VW's and even those tiny Fiats. Nothing even came close in all respects.
So, instead of new cars, this year I'm dumping several grand on each car to eliminate every shake and shimmy. I expect each car to provide about 6 years of service, driving 5K miles per month. (The math: That means I'm targeting 360K miles for each car.)
They still look great and drive beautifully. As the mechanic looked over every detail, some of the issues we encountered brought me to this forum, which I've found very helpful already. Thanks to the contributors. I hope to contribute myself were I can.
