Default 2012 Nissan Versa

Just watch my latest CNET Car Review, and thought I'd share.

The 2012 Nissan Versa was the object of the latest review, and I'd have to say the more competitors to the Fiesta I see, the more I love my Fiesta!

The Versa was OK looking. They didn't really go in to much about interior or trunk space. However, from a technology and options standpoint, the Versa isn't even comparable to the Fiesta.

As with the Sentra that I test drove, the dash layout was just OK. It was clean and simple, but was definitely lacking.

Take a look here:

I looked at the versa before buying my fiesta and for the fiesta's 14k sticker, you can get a versa with an auto and cd player. The back seat of the versa has alot more room than the fiesta also. I see all of the fiesta's competitors at work and they all are nice.

For me the only advantage of the VERSA was the roomy back seat.

Completely agree. Which Is why I choose the fiesta, the kids don't need that much room anyways.

The Versa is significantly louder inside at highway speeds, or so I read in review-after-review. Also, the Fiesta just looks hotter. So much prettier.

If you are talking to me the versa sedan with auto(You can get a base model sedan with auto) has a sticker of 14k and the versa auto gets better mileage than my fiesta with the stick. I know this for a fact because I priced out all the competition.

The thing about the Fiesta that always gets me is that it doesn't LOOK CHEAP. You can look at almost every other sub 20k car and say "Yup, that's a sub 20k car" but the Fiesta is just....classier.

Like a trailer park girl in a prom dress.
