Sounds like you are Fit-natic. Are you sure you will be happy with a versa? My feeling is pay the extra 2500.00 and get what you wanted in the first place. When I purchased the Versa, I knew after researching vehicles and also watching some young uppity guy getting excited about being a new fit owner, I was hooked on the Versa. I just think the Fit is dorky looking and cheaply built.
I believe the official online nomenclature is Fit Freak. But to answer your question, yes, I love the Fit. When I bought my Versa, it was completely out of the blue. I stopped into the Nissan dealership to kill time before my next class. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Rather, they accepted my absurd offer designed to make them go HELL NO! So yeah, I wasn't in the market for a new car AT ALL.
In any event, the Fit is superior to the Versa in almost every measurable criteria:
- EPA fuel economy
- interior versatility
- far more refined, sweeter sounding engine
- better stock stereo system
- 10X slicker gear shifter
- resale value
- performance (handling)
- superior build quality
In terms of looks, I love the way the Fit looks. I love everything about the Versa's looks except the awful tail lamps.
I almost love my Versa, but there are issues. I'm getting superb fuel economy, though (the one saving grace).
P.S. You shouldn't let "some young uppity guy" or anyone else influence your vehicle purchase.
