Low Mileage! Only has 73,792 miles!! That is 75,580 BELOW the average!!!!
Roomy interior with an adult-friendly backseat, comfortable ride, available with many useful convenience features.
Larger and more comfortable than other entry-level hatchbacks, the 2008 Nissan Versa is a reasonable choice for budget-minded consumers with long commutes.
Compared to other subcompacts, the Versa offers an extra helping of everything. Its 1.8-liter engine is among the biggest power plants in the class, and features more horsepower and torque than most competitors' offerings. It stood alone in offering a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which provides better performance and fuel mileage than the four-speed automatics typically offered in this price range. The Nissan Versa also lays claim to the most interior room in its class (enough to qualify as an EPA "midsize" car), evident in the cabin's open, airy feel. The payoff is especially apparent for rear-seat passengers, who enjoy even more legroom than in Nissan's Maxima.
Its softly tuned suspension delivers a comfortable ride quality that will appeal to those with long commutes. Generously cushioned seats are another plus.
The front-wheel-drive Nissan Versa comes with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine rated for 122 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque. For 2008, the CVT-equipped Versa has the highest mileage ratings of the compacts at 27 mpg city/33 highway.
The 2008 Nissan Versa comes standard with front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags and a tire-pressure monitor. In National Highway Traffic Safety Administration crash tests, it earned a four-star rating (out of a possible five) for driver and front-passenger protection in head-on collisions; five stars were given for side-impact safety.
The Nissan Versa's interior is notable for its spaciousness. Its tall roof makes headroom a non-issue, and its expansive legroom lets 6-foot-plus passengers sit comfortably in either the front or rear. Interior controls are attractive and easy to use. The overstuffed front seats are comfortable during hour-long commutes.
