2012 Nissan Versa Sedan SL

2012 Nissan Versa Sedan SL Nissan aims for bargain hunters with the new Versa. Most, if not all, of the new subcompact offerings we’ve seen in the last few years – the Fiat 500, Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent, Mazda 2, and Nissan’s own Cube – have played to an upmarket strategy. The hope and expectation is that wealthier buyers downsizing from other segments will pay extra for small cars that cater to all the right-brain pleasures of a larger car – style, performance, trendiness, comfort, etc. The new Nissan Versa, however, remains a steadfast adherent to the notion that subcompact buyers consider price, practicality, reliability, and not much else

2011 Nissan Juke SV FWD M/T – Four Seasons Introduction The Juke is the latest in a long line of truly distinctive Nissans.

Filed under: Budget , Hatchback , Honda The trusty Honda Fit hatchback was far and away the segment leader when the second-generation car arrived in late 2008. But since then, the B-segment has been a huge point of attention for many automakers, and as such, Honda’s all-star now has some pretty serious competition from the likes of the Ford Fiesta , Hyundai Accent , Nissan Versa and Mazda2 , not to mention soon-to-be-released newcomers like the Chevrolet Sonic , Toyota Yaris and Kia Rio . In an effort to keep the Fit fresh, Honda has, um, fitted it with some new standard equipment for 2012, as well as some minor styling tweaks. Sport models now get a new grille, black headlight bezels and a new finish for the 16-inch alloy wheels.

First Drive: 2012 Nissan Versa

Filed under: Budget , Sedan , Nissan , First Drives America’s Cheapest Car Returns With More V is for Versa , and Nissan would like you to believe that its 2012 Versa also stands for volume, value, virtues, versatility and, since we’re out of Vs, sophistication. While other automakers have been out to redefine the idea of the compact car as something hip and sporty – no longer the moped of cardom – Nissan developed this Versa “to redefine compact car value, giving buyers everything they want and need in one stylish package.” That means the Versa makes math arguments, not emotional ones. It wants to give you more than you’ll get elsewhere and not make you feel bad about going for its attributes instead of allure. As the segment sales leader, that argument has been working for years.
