2024 Nissan Versa S POV Test Drive & Review

[@Carfan678]

We need more vehicles like this and less $70k crossovers

[@americanrambler4972]

I like your review. You drove the versa the way it’s intended to be driven. Squeezing the throttle instead of stomping it to the floor is the best and most rewarding way to drive the car. And it’s the way I would drive this car. I do not expect this car to be neither quick nor fast. But it does have the capability to get up and go in an acceptable manner for most situations and uses. It sounded surprisingly quiet while you were driving it around. A nice plus.

[@willythewhale2235]

Perfect car to start my Uber driving business

[@Hjr915]

Yessir 💪

[@Bravo-rd9gc]

For me, the Versa is an excellent option as a first vehicle. Good video and greetings

[@rayjohnson863]

Ive been completely satisfied with my 2017 nissan sentra and its got all of the features I wanted for what I got it for. its the mid SV trim with Sunroof, Rubber matts with rims and net kit for the trunk. The car was 22,000 dollars back in 2017 so I would assume due to inflation would have been more than likely over 25,000 dollars. I now have 122,000 miles on it.

[@zerocool5395]

I drive an 09' Matrix and I just put 123k. You doing alot of driving lol.

[@rayjohnson863]

@@zerocool5395 I live in Texas. Everything here is far. My last car was a 2001 Toyota camry and it had 564,267 miles on it when It got totaled. I got it back in 2004 and got rid of it back in 2022. I always drive a lot because of my job. I just take care of my cars and never have issues with any of them.

[@rayjohnson863]

@@zerocool5395 Where I live nothing is close. My last car was a 2001 Toyota camry when it made it to over 500,000 miles before my dad totaled it driving it in the rain back in 2021. I had the car since 2004. What's funny is I am still on my original CVT and even at the dealership they are shocked its still working. I do not know how long it will last but if it makes it to 200,000 miles. I will be very happy. I do think it will as its been working just fine since I got it new with 25 miles on it.

[@michaelvaladez3012]

Never thought I'de ever see an actual car key and ignition in a brand new 2024 vehicle Lol 😂 miss the old school stuff!

[@joseCalderon1976]

The less crap and more old school a vehicle has, the better I like it. Less headache and less problems down the road

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Give me a key every time. Less to go wrong and if this does and you are out of warrenty is cheaper to have repaired.

[@aaronl8609]

They need to bring back the foot button for highbeams

[@inspiration2284]

the 2024 Toyota Corolla and Corolla Hybrid LE (without the LE premium package) actually have a key ignition like the old school corollas! And its a super cool switchblade key!! love to see it in this age of computers and touchscreens

[@thsarethbreaks]

@@aaronl8609 They had those in the some of the Chevy/Gmc full-size trucks.

[@worldhello1234]

It comes with theft protection by default, unless you order it with the CVT.

[@EmmyPierz-ek7hi]

Manual Transmission = Millennial Anti-Theft device built-in. CB

[@andresnider4926]

Across the lineup including the Versa, Sentra, Altima and Rogue, Nissan has remarkably improved their CVTs compared to where they were at 10 years ago. So much smoother and more responsive to drive nowadays and the complaints of transmission failure has gone way down as well

[@Tragick_Sin]

They still are not reliable

[@zerocool5395]

I've heard so many horror stories, I would never buy anything with a CVT. Let alone a Nissan one.

[@Tragick_Sin]

@zerocool5395 if yiu get q nissan GET A FOWKEN MANUAL, CVT is trash nissan makes kick ass engines I don't know why they fail miserably in trannys...cost cutting maybe?

[@cliffdariff74]

My prius has cvt, no prob

[@chuckm8472]

The majority of people with CVT that had problems are ones that were never serviced and or were run very hard. I have had more trouble out of conventional autos.

[@bobt5778]

Thanks for showing a base model. Very few reviews do.

[@ANDYDAVIRGO]

Just came back from the dealership and going to finalize the deal for the vehicle in a few days. Any negative feedback you might want to mention regarding this vehicle? I noticed no center console either.

[@ecclairmayo4153]

Thank you for this super thorough review! I plan on buying this car, soon.

[@Rarebeauty477]

I got mine today I love it so far!

[@ecclairmayo4153]

Awesome 😎 I am going to buy mine probably in January. I'm still saving up a good down payment but I have been eyeing this car for a couple of months, now.

[@laurenmccann6835]

I got mine 3 days ago and I recommend if you still haven’t got your Versa yet, now is the time to do so whether it’s the base, sv, or rs/sr package.

[@mushroomcloud1]

You do the best reviews on KZbin.

[@DeimosV8]

Great review thank you. Was curious about these base model Versas. Looked it up on the Nissan site and it seems like the rear seats on these don't fold down unless they're have optional 60/40 rear split. Still neat to see a base model car like this available.

[@sedanchair2]

Nice integrated screen something more expensive cars don't even have.

[@joseenriquez3537]

Looks like a great car for the price. The best it doesn't break your bank account.

[@FaithElle2]

I am buying one.

[@leogeee1]

With the "S" trim you can't fold down the second seat. If it did fold down I'd buy one in a minute with the manual transmission. The "SV" trim and upward gives you the folding back seat but no manual. So. . . I'll just keep my 2015 Versa Note.

[@NGMonocrom]

Regrding how do you fold down the rear seats on the Base S version of the Versa: You don't. They don't fold down on the S trim level. But, you want to see something actually Basic? Go track down a 1998 Ford Escort sedan. Yeah, drove one for about 5 years until it was totaled. Wouldn't have happened if some obnoxious bean-counter over at Ford hadn't decided that its drivers didn't deserve anti-lock brakes. Crash never would have happened. I'd have lukely driven her for another 5 years. That bean-counter miserable accountant is an old man, today. Assuming he's still alive. He desrves every terrible, horrible thing that ever happened in his life. It's why I woll *never* buy a Ford vehicle again for the rest of my Life. (And yes, back then, anti-lock brakes were cheap enough that you did see them on some economy/basic cars.)

[@laurenmccann6835]

Just got a 2024 Versa 3 days ago and I love it. I would definitely say if you are in between a Mirage or a Versa, I would say get a Versa if you are looking for something that under 20k

[@drsysop]

2022-2024 Versa S does not come with a key fob or keyless entry as my fiend learned the hard way & had to put a aftermarket alarm in to do it. The CVT transmission is very bad & he had to get a replacement on his 2023 at 16k miles. I would recommend you get the 5 speed manual one as I test drove a 2024 one in blue which was surprising they make. The radio is absolute garbage as it does not have HD Radio, SiriusXM, Android Auto & Apple CarPlay on this trim level. The rear seats do not fold down only on the upper trim levels. Getting a aftermarket radio 7 to 10 inch screen to fit this car is impossible as no aftermarket dash kit available. Worst part it's made in Mexico not USA, Canada or Japan & will explain everything as they have poor quality control issues there.

[@JamesJones-mg3ts]

Don't need the key fob or key-less entry. That stuff is just wasted money. I have the 2019 5 speed and it's rock solid (and yes... with window cranks). $10K new! Yes, CVT sucks and you'll pay thousands more for it (waste of money... just learn how to drive a 5 speed and get a durable car that has low cost of ownership that will outlast any automatic... and cheaper to fix). I'd imagine that _if_ you can't find an aftermarket radio now, you will at some point so not a deal breaker. People get fixated on features they can live without (seduced by car companies... tisk, tisk). I always get the least I can get (less stuff to break and the cost/benefit analysis doesn't justify that "fluff"). Less is better. If you have money to burn on mildly useful overpriced 'fluff' you really don't need, car companies will take you for whatever appetite you have for overspending (and I don't have much of an appetite for overspending)

[@gabrielhuertas1909]

I had a cvt transmission and I had a great experience not to for sure what happened to you but I had over 35k and no issues before I traded my Kia in…. I honestly liked the cvt

[@Anubis-h5p]

It looks nice , a friend of mine just got herself a 2023 Nissan Versa that is metallic dark grey.

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Excellent video dude.

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

I remember when a Versa S was like ten thousand something.

[@GregoriusSu]

Wow thank you for the review. Rarely see reviews on the lowest trim. Btw, in your opinion is the cabin noise louder than the corolla le, civic lx/sport or rio, especially from road noise? Because when I drive a civic or corolla, the cabin noise is super loud. To be honest, I feel like the kia rio cabin is quieter than civic and corolla.

[@NothinButCarReviews]

They all sound about the same to me. Doable, but definitely not quiet.

[@CZ75A22]

As a driver of a 1999 Corolla, it isn't terrible in comparison.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Insane vehicle Tony.

[@aaronl8609]

The Mitsubishi mirage is the only cheaper car on the market

[@gonzed11]

I purchased a 2020 Nissan versa s.. The same exact car and paid $14,000 for mine. And it had key fobs! Lol I can't imagine paying an extra $6,000 4 years later and it doesn't even have key fobs!

[@syedabdulqadir6030]

How the A/C works while driving and how the engine works.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

Nice car, especially for the money.

[@mccortezy]

All it missing is roll-up windows and a manual

[@samboo18fuksdogs1]

Manual is optional & only in the s trim

[@zjones9876]

Does the base model actually come with XM radio? I can deal with a lot but that's one thing I really do need.

[@immortaljake4286]

Could you do a manual versa? I know they make 5 speed

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Probably not. Hard to find them in my neck of the woods.

[@AxelNorenburger]

Does this have a rear-view camera?

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Yes

I've been Toyota for 20+ years. My 2015 Rav4 with 257,000 miles just kicked the bucked. Debating between a cheap Corolla or this Versa. I just don't know much about Nissan cars.

[@immortaljake4286]

Corolla

[@aaronl8609]

Do dealers add the the splash gaurds and the rear fin per request.i never see the manual with them.or should I wait to pre order the 2025?

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Not quite sure on that

[@Mr.Looooong]

The mud flaps are an additional add on. I definitely like them, living in a more rural area. Keeps the door jams clean.

[@jakegolliher2891]

L isn’t limiter, it’s low And it’s not a 6 speed, it’s a cvt

[@drnkds]

How are the speakers?

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Decent for the price.

[@alicankarakaya2770]

It used to cost 10 grand base. How much is it now?

[@Mr.Looooong]

Base manual starts at a little over $16k. CVT S trim starts at $18k.

[@Whitesp44]

Approximately 1500 bump for the Sentra S? Might be worth it. I applaud Nissan for making a no nonsense affordable car. Ford gave up on it. Good first car for a kid getting outta college or something. Just flush that transmission!! 🤦

[@zzydrius]

I like the Limiter gear.

[@stevengower]

CarPlay?

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Not on the S trim

[@rayaraya3808]

Braking power is not good enough, need more safe distance. Acceleration is too slow. Aircon, poor cooling power.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

The Corolla is more like this than the Sentra.

[@Anubis-h5p]

No turbo or anything ?

[@NothinButCarReviews]

Nope

[@knowone6214]

too bad it has a stinkin Jatco CVT...deal breaker for me

[@scrambler69-xk3kv]

Never fails with these reviews. The car is always some ugly black or gray or white. Just once I would like to see a new car review in which we have a nice bright blue bright green, something to make the car stand out Especially these smaller vehicles because they need to be seen for your safety, with all of the large pickups and big rigs on our roads.

[@aaronl8609]

Those transmissions are crap.they die before 100k
