Nissan Versa Reviews

2014 Nissan Versa. Where to begin? Don't count on your fancy transmission lasting long. If there are any problems, the only solution is a complete replacement - mine began slipping @ 116,000 miles and was told there was "imminent mechanical failure" and an entire front-to-back transmission replacement, shipped from Nissan, would cost me $4,500.00. That was 1 week after the check engine light came on, telling me there was a problem with the "air shutter" at the front of the engine. This happened coincidentally after a rare NC snowfall, which is a common occurrence. Cost to fix? $726. I've done ALL the required/recommended maintenance since purchase. Still these are major defects and should NOT have happened. Also, the belt has squealed since day 1. They don't know why.

I purchased a 2015 Nissan Versa Note. Everything about the vehicle was great. It functioned perfectly as a commuter car. However, no one told me the transmission would be a POS. It needed a new transmission at 60,000 miles. After a couple months I noticed the same delays and "slipping" characteristics that the first transmission was displaying before it needed to be completely replaced. I have had this 2nd transmission for only 12,000 miles and it is needing to be repaired or replaced (as it is still under warranty); however, Nissan is making it extremely difficult in making this happen. They are stating nothing is wrong with the transmission even though it is doing the same thing the first transmission was doing.

2016 Nissan Versa sedan - Buying this car is the most regrettable purchase of my adult life. It is clearly designed to make people so sick of economy cars that they vow to upgrade to luxury next time. Where to begin? The car idles rough, the defrost vents don't even aim at the windows properly, it acts like it is going to conk out on cold mornings even after warming up, you have to be a small person to be comfortable, (my tall roommate, literally can't get in comfortably) the door locks are ridiculous, there is no way to unlock any of the doors from the outside except the drivers door, and it is designed so that opening the door causes you to brush the lock and accidentally lock the door unknowingly, (great way to lock yourself out).

Transmission failed 107,000 miles. I purchased my Nissan Versa brand new 0 miles from Sheehy Nissan in Manassas Virginia in 2013. My Nissan Versa started to not move. When I accelerate it it was stopped in the middle of the street. All of a sudden I'd have to pull over on side of the road turn it off and put it back in gear. I made it to the shop and was told I needed to replace the transmission for $4,800. This is a major problem with Nissan CVT transmissions. It is nothing they can do to help me because it's out of warranty even though it's only 4 years old. I'm not happy with this. Reading the reviews is going on so much with a CVT transmissions Nissan has got to take accountability for these flaws and extend the warranties on the CVT transmissions.

I am 66 years old and I have kept my Nissan Versa in excellent condition. I hardly drive it anywhere and still have the original floor mats that came with it when it was new. About two months ago I was simply driving out of my apt complex and right before I got to the street my gas pedal quit working. I thought I was out of gas cause I had no problems at all with my transmission prior to this. I made it to a gas station and put gas in and it drove pretty good to the grocery store where I was originally headed. I did my shopping and started my Versa and was pulling out of the store parking lot and the gas pedal quit working again. I could press it to the floor board and it would not go. I have already spent 300 dollars on wrecker fees and inspection fees from David McDavid Nissan in Houston, Texas. They told me it is my CVT transmission.

I currently have a 2016 Nissan Versa. I purchase this car brand new 2016. The starter on this car went out last week on 5/17/2017 and the Nissan dealership has no idea why? After the installed of this new starter my car is still making a loud!!! I will be going back to Nissan dealership to see what and why this currently happen to car that's not even a year old!!! My car currently has 16000. I am in awe with Nissan!!!

We bought a brand new 2017 Versa in Dec. We have had it back to the dealer twice already. When you get over 60mph it pulls to the left putting you in another lane. The dealer told us that the front end was out of line. Both times did the front end and still same problem. This time my wife spoke to the service manager and he told her that Nissan designed the car wrong and the wheelbase was too close. He said he had other complaints on the same problem. He told us to bring it down and he would take it out and if that's the problem he would take us to the manager and fix us up with a different car. We went today and spent 4 hrs with them trying to sell us a more expensive car. They said they could not do anything for us at the payments we had. So we ended up leaving without the problem being fixed. So I guess they will wait until someone is killed because of this problem before anything gets done.

I bought a new Nissan Versa in 2007, it was my first Nissan. I had been driving a Mercedes Benz for about five years. This was a big change. I wanted better fuel economy, but was concerned about safety. Over the course of two weeks I drove every economy car priced under $20,000. The Versa not only was the safest, but also had the most room. I will admit, it was far from being the highway car the MB was, and was certainly not the prettiest thing on the road. It did however deliver fuel economy around 34 mpg, about as good as a non hybrid got in 2007.

It has been 3 months since Nissan announced that the passenger Airbag is failed on my NISSAN VERSA 2012. They did not replace the failed part or they did not help me with the loaner vehicle until the failed part is replaced. I hate driving this vehicle anymore and I won't buy any Nissan products in my life again.

I purchased a 2013 Nissan Versa for my Daughter. She recently had a flat tire. When the trunk was opened to get the spare tire out the spare tire area was full of water which caused her jack to be rusted in areas. I had to purchased a Shop-vac in order to get the water out. I then googled the issue and there were several complaints concerning the same issue and it appears to be rain/water seem to get inside the trunk around the tail lights' area. Some explained the way they had to fix the problem at their own expense. Someone even reported their Nissan Altima had the same issue. Seems as if Nissan should have did a recall on these vehicles that has this issue. Very Disappointed!!!

Recently, I had a flat and when the tow truck arrived he informed me that my spear was rusted to the car. Shortly after we had a really bad rainstorm and when I opened my trunk, it was full of water. When I took it to Nissan they suggested that my extended warranty or auto insurance should cover it. Both insurances said that is a manufacturer defect and should be covered by Nissan. At this point, my trunk is rusted, water collects every rain we have and the mold has developed under the seats. It's a medical hazard to drive at this point. I purchased this vehicle new and over the 3.5yrs I have had it major issues have happened, the master brake cylinder went out, the cooling system caught on fire to name a few. This is the worse purchase of my life!

I purchase a 2012 Nissan Versa brand new. Kept up with the car and now 5 years later my transmission goes because my transmission oil line rusted out. Yes a 2012 pipe rusted out. I called Nissan Consumers Affairs to see if they will fix the car because corrosion is covered for 60 months and unlimited miles and my car was over by 2 months and they refused. How does a pipe rust out on a 2012 car. Nissan should be ashamed of themselves for not taking care of their customers. I have owned several Nissan cars but this is my last one.

Bought a 2014 Nissan Versa back in 2014 with 5k miles. Now in 2017 with 36k miles the transmission just died and needed to be replaced. Luckily it's still under warranty but no one can explain why at 36k miles I need a new transmission. I just took the call in a month prior for the campaign to reprogram the cvt. Do not recommend people buy a Nissan for long term. The transmission will fail at a low mileage.

My daughter is the owner of a 2013 Nissan Versa & her CVT transmission is failing. She has 64,800 miles on her car - 4,800 OVER warranty. I have spoken with several Nissan reps & have put in a claim for (over) warranty consideration. It was denied even after appeal. Not even a consideration. I spoke with the supervisor of the warranty claims people & she refused to give me her boss's name. She basically said I was screwed & that Nissan would not help. I cannot believe that they wouldn't help even a bit at all with anything. Nor would she give me her superior's name or number. Regardless of how it all turns out, this will be my last Nissan & I am from a generational family of Nissans. What a shame.

I bought my car used but in 8 months I had to take my car to get fixed 5 times. I had to pay for a transmission that went out on me while I was on the highway, Nissan has done nothing!! They denied me today for repurchase because of lemon laws and I'm stuck with a car that has 3 recalls and that has been to the shop to get fixed 5 times and they still won't accept responsibility so not only am I stuck with a junk car I'm stuck in a car note with a car that won't make it to next year.

My sister has owned a 2016 Nissan Versa for 3 months; 4 times the vehicle wouldn't start; 3 times taken to the dealer for them to say they can't find anything wrong with it. We have contacted Consumer Affairs which has contacted the service department of the dealership; only for us to be told they can't find anything wrong with it (a lot of good this did!). The latest time the car wouldn't start with jumper cables so it had to be towed. I am afraid she is going to be stranded one day. Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Purchased 2012 Versa - new 1st time owner of a Nissan but never again. In Feb of 2016 the vehicle had 53,559 miles have kept up maintenance, did 2 recalls on the transmission, had a brake sensor replaced so the vehicle would come out of gear in Nov 2015. No major problems until... April 2016 and check engine light comes on. I replace an engine sensor as this was the code. Check engine light back on 2 weeks after correcting this, now something on the exhaust. I explain the car is not running smoothly like before. Does the transmission need to be reprogrammed like it did on the recall? Take it in at 64,182 miles and tell them something is still not correct. They tell me that it is a corroded wire harness that is causing the problems. $500 to replace and I do it. Still the car does not feel like it is running smoothly. October now, still not running smoothly.

My Nissan Versa is very reliable, excellent gas mileage. Never had any problems in the 4 years I have owned it. Keeping up with preventive maintenance, plan to drive this car for many years to come. Nissan is a car brand I trust, and I trust my local dealer. My Nissan Versa is a four-door, very roomy, and has a large trunk. It is a pleasure to drive, and getting great gas mileage really helps when you are Mom's taxi.

The car was very cheap even though it had a taste of quality in it. So far I have been surprisingly astonished at how good the car is for being cheap. The performance was decent, obviously nothing that should be highlighted. MPG is pretty good though and I am satisfied with that aspect of the car. The appearance is decent, I would have preferred a bit more of a sportier look to the car but it isn't a sports car after all, I'm satisfied with the appearance. So far I've had no breakdowns of the vehicle, nor has anything gone wrong or has been broken, overall good durability.

It's brought great value to my life because it helps get my family and I around to and from places that we need or want to go. I feel like everyone should have that something that is a necessity in their lives. Performance is nice, warms up pretty fast and does great with gas mileage. It is also great in any types of diverse weather that you may have to travel through. I love the appearance of Nissan Versas. They give off a nice, but not too expensive look. Also can give off the look of a great car for a family, especially a traveling/working family. The outer design of the car is very nice and something I wouldn't mind being seen in at all. I've had this car for a few years and it's very durable to me. I haven't had any major problems at all when I think about it. This car is definitely a keeper if you ask me.

No problems. Has taken many trips from Florida to Georgia and back on many occasions. Has been very reliable despite lack of care. Smooth ride not for racing but good on highway miles. It's not the most attractive car, it's a bit smaller than might be practicable for a larger number of people but it's still spacious enough to have plenty of space for luggage and moving semi large items. It has lasted many years with very little maintenance and has been very reliable despite many miles that it has endured in between many states.

It is a very comfortable car, with a lot of space, elegant design. Great for long trips depending how many people ride at the back but even that they still ride comfortably. The performance is great. Smooth at driving, it is of great value, can definitely take you on long comfortable rides when either the driver or the passenger either at the front or back. The appearance is beyond words to describe. It is elegant and impressive. Makes you feel like a famous person. I highly recommend it. Durability is great. Low problems. Even if taken out on long trips frequently it still long lasting. Great gas saver.

The car gets me where I want to go. I enjoy driving this car very much. It's comfortable for me to drive. My family also feel comfortable when they are in the car. The performance is great. I feel like I have enough power when I'm driving the car. It's a very fun car to drive. People would have to experience the car themselves. I like the style of the Versa. It's not too big but it's also not too small. I have enough room to put my things that I buy at the store. It's a nice looking car. It's very durable. I enjoy the experience of this car. I recommend people take a chance and drive the Versa themselves. All I can say that it's a great car to drive.

It's very fuel efficient, low cost to own, the normal maintenance is a good value, the oil changes while a little more expensive don't have to be done but twice a year. I found the horsepower to be more than enough. The get up and go is amazing considering that it's only a 4 cylinder vehicle and the fuel economy is good. I love the lines on this vehicle. Nissan did an amazing job designing this car. They took the time to actually try to think of what consumers wanted in a car and tried to make it. I've had this car for about 3 years and I've only had to do normal maintenance and I drive about 4 hours round trip to and from work. I would definitely recommend this vehicle just for that alone.

It offers reliability and safety, with its being a very sound, dependable vehicle with many safety features. I would recommend Nissan, I know other people that own Nissans & they have been happy with them as well. Performance on these is very good. They are well designed, sound vehicles, have a lot of power, and if well maintained should last for many years. Nissans are very sharp looking automobile. They have a sleek, modern look, also very nice on inside. Mine has always drawn attention everywhere I drive it. This vehicle is made very well, is very durable, and long-lasting. With the proper maintenance and upkeep this vehicle is sure to last for many years to come.

The Nissan Versa is set at a good reasonable price but the best part is it gives you good mileage per gallon. So it is a savings all around. The car has a long lifespan. It performs great for the value and has bang for the buck. The Nissan Versa appearance is lacking. It is a hatchback and it has a very boxy like appearance. The look is one of its only drawback. The Nissan Versa has very good durability. It lasts a long time and does not break down. It is a very reliable car especially for the price.

Great value. Not very expensive compared to other vehicles. Great mileage. Highly would recommend to anyone who is looking for a car. Easy to fix when needed. Nice family car. Great performing vehicle. Smooth drive especially when driving out of town. Great performing with cheap amount of money to fill up gas tank. Nice body frame, nice exterior, nice interior, nice fabric of seating, very nice radio with gps system. Very nice colors to choose from. Very durable from reviews I've read. I loved my first Versa that we have already purchased another and probably will continue to purchase as long as all remains the same.

I would recommend to people who do not have kids or people who commute to and from work. But if they had kids I would not recommend because the backseat is way too small for car seats and to sit comfortably in the front. I had no issues with this car. I absolutely loved it until I got pregnant with baby number 2. Placing the car seat in the back was awful. We had to trade it in for something still ok on gas but not as good as the Versa is. I'm not into small cars. It is cute when you see it, but when you start to think about it the cuteness turns into super small and uncomfortable. I never wrecked the car or broke anything on it. But what scared me was if someone was to hit me then the car would be smashed and we would more than likely not live through it.

Good on gas and was worth buying. Small and affordable, not recommended for taller folks over 6 ft 3." Great first car for the kids or a college student. Just keep up with the oil changes and tunes and you will have no issue with this car. It's easy to work on if you have the patience. It's cheap and easy to fix, not too expensive on the wallet either.

Drank more gas than appropriate for me, a person who has to commute the total of 69 miles every day for work. But overall, it was pretty durable, not too much problems. The performance was satisfactory. I kept maintenance periodic, so it worked as I wanted. Engine ran smoothly and enough power to speed as I wanted. Overall, I was happy with it. Personally I liked its appearance. Big and robust enough but not over-sized like other vans. It was dark red in color, so I liked it even more because that is my favorite color. I wanted to say I was very happy with its durability, but that would be a lie. It had many small problems like frequent headlight burnt, fluid drained, etc.

This car's value is great because it's cheap and really economic in the gas aspect. I love my Versa and I would consider telling people that they should look for it. When I am in the freeway I don't feel nothing. It rides smooth and the performance is great. This car is for any age type. Many will say that this car does not look fancy or something like other cars but it's useful and simple... For me it's great because it's small, convenient and looks perfect. The durability of the Nissan Versa is great. I been using my car since I got it in 2007. It's been almost 10 years and still works great. It looks great and I think it would last me a lot more years.

I would value this as a great car compared to some of the other cars I have previously owned because it has great features. Such as ecosaver. The performance on this car was wonderful. Sounds good upon cranking and a smooth drive. I call it the silent car. It picked up speed great and awesome brakes. This car has a smooth look. It looks like the car of the future. Nice tires and good starter rims. I love the curve on the hood of the car. This car was built to last. When make turns it make the job smooth and effortless on your behalf. I look forward to purchasing cars like this one the future because it makes driving that much easier.

It was one of the less expensive models on the market and lasted a decent amount of time but it was hard to drive for very long and not powerful at all. It was such a gutless little car and seemed way too cheaply made. Driving on the freeway at top speed was somewhat a scary venture and I didn't trust it. It wasn't a great looking car at all. Maybe I should have sprung for a Sentra or Altima because the Versa was just kind of short and boring looking. I would not call the Versa durable at all. It was cheaply made or at least felt that way and had a lot of little issues all the time. It did not stand the test of time too well.

It makes my life easier. I can get where I need to go without worrying if the car will not start. Or if the car will stop. Will I jam driving to the place I am going. It runs well. It starts up every time I try to use it. It is worth the money I paid to have it. It runs smooth and does not have to have a lot of work on it. It comes in a lot of colors. The outer color and the inner color match good. It has all the stuff where it should be so it does not stand out in a bad way. I had a car accident in it. The damage was not that much. The built of it is done so well that it stands up to a accident from the front.

It's a good car for the money I paid. Very eco friendly and well worth the price I paid for the vehicle. Would definitely buy another one again. Kind of a sluggish vehicle for a four cylinder. Bells and whistles are nice for this car. Nissan is a good brand of car. I like it a lot. It's nice and compact. It works very well when going out and about in the city. Very easy to parallel park in tight spaces. Hip hip Hooray! It's a very durable car even though it looks small. I can drive it for days and it won't break down on me. I love this vehicle so much.

The value was fine. I guess the value could be better but it could be worse as well. The performance was fine just as the value. It did not break down so that was nice but it could have driven better. I liked the way it looked. Sleek modern professional white nice car. Very clean looking. I wanted to stare at it all day long. This car lasted me 100000 miles so that was a plus. Nice durability I would say.

You really do get the car you pay for! It isn't the luxury type, but the price lets you know that. You don't overpay for the car and you certainly don't feel like you're getting ripped off. It performs so well! You get some great features and an overall safe car. It's very simple; no complicated, fancy gadgets that can distract you from driving. It has a great appearance. While it's not sleek and small like a luxury sports car, it also isn't clunky and ugly like some SUV's tend to be. It's a smaller model and just has a very simple, clean look to it. It's incredibly durable! While it won't last in an accident (what car does) it performs well in all seasons, weather condition, and whatever else could negatively affect your car.

Honestly cars are very expensive these days no matter what you get. Let me just tell you though, I love my Nissan. It's absolutely the best car I've owned. I know it's a keeper. Of course this is a car and not as durable as a truck but the difference is minor. I hardly ever get stuck and when I do, it's not hard to get out. I can't praise this car enough. This isn't necessarily the prettiest car I've ever owned but it's the most practical. Don't get me wrong, it's not an ugly car by any means. Just not luxurious. The durability is amazing. Seriously don't know how I got along without it before! It's gotten me out of a lot of situations in which my previous car couldn't have.

We purchased a brand new Versa for the use of our teenage daughter, believing that a new car would be the best option. WRONG! So far we have had to had the whole car rekeyed, had to be towed because we couldn't get in it. This happened at less than 5000k then a new fuel sensor and a new dash and a new transmission all before 30k. The transmission had problems. We took it in. They couldn't find anything wrong with it. Took it in again, nope nothing wrong with the vehicle. Took it in AGAIN and lo and behold it needed a new transmission. "Why didn't we bring it in sooner?" WE DID. Had the car back less than a month, go out to start the car and it is dead. Again had to be towed.

I like the Nissan Versa very much. It's small, but yet fit my whole family. It is good on gas mileage too. I love the color of the car and it was a affordable price for me. It runs very smooth. I have no issues with it. It does not have any fancy technology in it, but it is just fine by me. All I need is automatic windows and I am good. This is a fun car to have. My Nissan Versa is silver. I feel like certain colors don't get as dirty. The outside is sleek. It looks very nice. I would recommend this car to anyone. I feel like it is very durable. I have no issues with the Nissan Versa at all. I love this car. I enjoy driving it all the time.

I love that the car is big enough for my family. My car is a nice size for shopping and laundry etc. Every family member I know loves my car and always asks me about it. It's OK on gas too. Many family members love to borrow my car because of the size and the model but the gas goes quickly but I have nothing to complain about it because they do pitch in money. Just gets dirty too quickly. I don't like that I always have to clean my car because it gets dirty too quick. But I also can't be that mad because my brother and sister in law help out clean my car because they use it most. Takes up too much gas. I don't like that one bit because when I use it I always have to go to a gas station when my family members don't get gas after using the car.

It is a low priced car that is stylish and great on gas. It has some of the new technology as well, like hands free talking. It has remote entry and lock. It has a smooth driving experience, great braking, and good acceleration. It is easy to make turns. Cruise control is easy to use without looking down. The driver seat moves in all four directions for better handling. It has a very modern design. It is stylish and has a great shine to the paint. The chrome accent adds a very premium look to the appearance. It has good safety ratings by it being made out of high quality durable material. The inside will scratch up easily but will not be as noticeable after a nice wipe clean.

I've saved so much money just on gas alone that I'm able to buy little things for my car like a personalized plate and steering wheel cover. I like how the new Versa have that new shifting pattern that you can't even hear. It runs so smoothly and quietly. You don't even know it's shifted gears. I bought my Versa in gunmetal with black interior. It has tinted windows and the paint had sparkles in it. Accents of red make it look great. I've only had it for ten months but it is a very reliable and trustworthy car. I know I can depend on my car no matter what. I see me driving my Versa for many years to come.

It was my first car and the value was well worth it because I had very little issues and it was very reliable in taking me around. It has good safety features and efficient on gas. The performance was very good. I had very little problems with it. In fact, it was economical in terms of gas, usage and maintenance. The overall performance was excellent. The appearance was quite satisfactory. It was bought used so it had a few scratches but nothing that was too obvious. Most people especially my friends thought it was new so I think it was well kept and very presentable. The durability was satisfactory as I had it over 5 years and it was still in excellent condition so I think it is a strong vehicle. Essentially it lasted for my years with minor problems.

I am someone who really doesn't like driving big vehicles. I learned to drive in a very small car and the first car I owned was a very small car. We have a large family though so it made sense to go for a minivan, which is our main family car. But during the week when it's just me and my kids I wanted a small car that I could drive and not feel like a nervous wreck all the time. Nissan Versa is the answer to my problems. It's a small car, easy to maintain, doesn't take up that much gas, has just the right amount of space for me and my twins to get around and run errands. This car performs great. It has given me no issues at all. I took her in for an oil change and they gave her the once over and said she is in great shape, no extra repairs needed. She handles well, and is the perfect little car I have always wanted.

I'm absolutely in love with this vehicle! Everything is well put together and definitely worth every penny. The interior, exterior, and features make this a steal. This car runs really smooth and is easy to maintain. While it doesn't get to 120 mph in 5 seconds it does have a good amount of giddy up. The appearance is expensive looking. The interior and exterior design is sleek and high quality. I love that it looks like a high end vehicle but didn't cost the price of a high end luxury. This car is amazing! I have three children and the interior is holding up quite nice! The exterior is surviving Florida weather quite well. The engine and other mechanical stuff is easy to maintain.

I don't have to pay a lot for repairs because it never breaks down and my monthly payments were low. My initial cost was low also. It is a reliable vehicle and it's cute too. It's a good little car that looks sporty. I do wish it had better pick up, though. It doesn't accelerate very quickly. But once it does, it goes fast and takes corners well. It's cute and compact. I receive a lot of compliments. I like that it has a big trunk for its size. I chose red because it's bright and makes me happy. It's a durable vehicle but I did have to spend $300 to replace a light. That seems high to me. But all in all it has stood the test of time. Someone hit my bumper and the dent popped out.

Fair car for the price but the dealership was terrible. Customer service never fixed things that were wrong with my car and made me wait forever. The car ran well but the computer always had problems and they never fixed it and was brought in many times for the same problem and the people in the service department were always nasty. A cute looking car with a lot of headroom., easy to use dashboard, air works well, sun roof does not leak, radio works well, large trunk and roomy backseat. A pretty strong well built car for its size, rides well, good acceleration, smooth ride, holds up good in a accident, reliable safe car, easy to get in and out of the backseat.

Transmission and engine issues - Recently, less than two months ago, I purchased a 2015 Nissan Versa Cube with 42,000 miles on it. Driving on hills it's sluggish and seems to have difficulty shifting gears. More than once after shutting the car off with it in park it rolls forward. The check engine light also comes on and stays steady for a week at a time and then just turns off for another couple of weeks and my seat belt lights are on even if no one is in that seat.
