Used 2008 Nissan Versa for Sale near Toronto, ON

The Versa is a nice addition to Nissan with a somewhat cheerful looking car. There's quite a lot to like about this car and only a few things wrong. To drive the Versa is actually quite good. The steering feel is only a tad light from my ideal steering feel for this sort of car. Handling on this small car feels fine. The engine has some pep despite being made for fuel economy. The engine however does become noisy and feels strained when going 100 km/h or more. This is my favourite part about the car. The interior is alright, not the greatest but it could be like a Chrysler interior which is terrible. The plastics on the Versa are not as high quality as the Honda Fit's but quite comparable to the Yaris. Now to the worst part...the build quality. The Versas available in North America are assembled in Mexico, now I have nothing against Mexico but several of the Nissans I've driven that are made in Mexico often have loose parts or were just assembled poorly. The Versa is no exception, the gas and hood latches for instance pull a plastic string...this string often gets detached and thus making the latch pointless. These are some of the worst assembled cars I've seen and should have been deemed unacceptable by Nissan. I'm sure if it were built in the US, Canada or even better Japan none of these problems would exist, but Nissan went with cost savings over quality here. The ownership costs on the Versa are cheap, not only is it great in fuel economy but its the least expensive car you can buy now. Avoid the hubcaps though, they'll fall off eventually and are not cheap. Overall this is a good car...but its ruined by the horrible build quality.

The 2008 Nissan Versa is a car that can get you from point A to Point B, but it doesn't offer much more than that. In the corners, it understeers, and there is a ton of body roll. The tires skid across the road instead of digging in and finding grip. It can, however, outrun an automatic, non vtec equipped Acura Integra, which did surprise me. Gas mileage is where this car shines though. With falling gas prices, it is possible to fill up with 20 bucks, and drive it for 2-3 weeks, depending on how you drive it. The exterior styling is, in my opinion, hideous. The lights wrap around from the front over to the sides. The interior is quite roomy however, and it feels a lot bigger than it actually is. In closing, the 2008 Nissan Versa is a good people mover. The ride quality is not harsh at all, and should keep a small family comfortable for a few hours.

I LOVE MY CAR it is pretty and a great car for me to drive. The steering is extremely sensitive but that is ok because it helps me focus on my driving. Its stereo sysem is fabulous and that makes my car really fun to drive. Buy the Nissan Versa but buy the Hatchback.

LOL this car is actually pretty goo. I used it for work and it's great for that but the salesman and the dealership really sucked. I regret buying it from them AND.... the trunk is rusting.... 11 month old care rusting.... really.

Well I had just got my new car in July, I love it!!!.....its my new family car!!!.................................................................. ................................................... I love it and there is nothing negative about, I recommend it to everbody!!!!! #Performance – acceleration, braking, handling # Build Quality – has it needed repairs? squeaks/rattles # Appearance – both interior and exterior styling # Cost of Ownership – gas mileage, maintenance # Fun Factor – is this car fun to drive?
