Driveway Demons Absolutely Hilarious Review The 2018 Versa is the worst car ever but for 12,000 dollars who can complain anyone but a Homeless or Completely Broke Person Can buy one

[@sofancy.]

Review a manual one please

[@NV_US_Josh]

yea the manual is alot more responsive, if it just had another like 25 30 hp it would be a perfect little car.

[@gamersclasicos1414]

You are the Nissan Versa of the comedy industry.

[@JamesWillmus]

Let's clear something up here, you don't buy a Nissan Versa for performance. This is not a driver's car, this is for the college student or the family needing a low-budget sedan. This is what cars were like 20-30 years ago and people were generally content. This car is a counter answer to the modern trends in automotive manufacturing. There's very few electronics, only basic controls, and the price is basic as well. If Ford took a truck and stripped all the fancy stuff out of it, it would be about 18k, but they won't do that because there's no money in it.

[@angrybadger8136]

Pretty much like a modern K-car..

[@benjabhd]

Exactly why i bought it. Is my First car, gas saver, no much tech but i don't drive much. 5k miles in a year because i work from home. I pay 170 a month for the loan and fill the tank with $18 every week and a half or 2. Minimum maintenance too.

[@chriskonte1909]

@@dave_riotsSo the problem is Fiat made better cars before they bought Chrysler, killed Lancia like so and think they can contiune like so.. The new Dodge Neon is basically a Fiat Tipo. The only difference is: the Tipo is acutally doing pretty good and it's kinda reliable. Fiats engines are ok, they are pretty cheap but it's not looking like it is. I also remember when Chysler had the great idea to sell some of these stupid unreliable, vans. You know them as Dodge Town and Country we knew then as Lancia Voyager. Way to big for our european streets, to slow, no manual, to heavy, doesn't get good gas mileage. But you seem to like those things with so much electric stuff that goes down after 20.000km..

[@davemiller3345]

More tech = more problems. I have a versa, and am grateful for the low tech hand crank windows. Ive had to replace a few electric window motors, and it aint fun. For the money you spend on the versa , you wil get many years of worry free and gas saving mileage.

Exactly why I like it. I'll take my chances on the hit and miss cvt over all that fancy smancy power crap failing and leaving you with a window that won't go up or down.

[@konatadesuka]

Lol, dude complaining about that stock radio. It has front USB, bluetooth, Aux Input, CD player, MP3, bluetooth A2DP and handsfree, steering controls and dedicated answer and hangup controls on the head unit and steering wheel. I don't know what else you expect, that is a very complete product and the Compact Disc player is very welcomed.

[@DrivewayDemons]

konatadesuka I’m an audio engineer. I owned a recording studio for years. The 4 & 6 ohm Chinese made speakers suck. The head unit pushes very little power and the music distorts due to the single paper cone woofers. There is a lot of pollution in the audio due to cheap electronics. So all the features you mentioned doesn’t mean a damn thing if the audio quality is horrible. I bet they push no more than 5 Watts RMS @ 4 ohm. That’s just plain horrible since most cars are around 10-14 Watts RMS.

[@konatadesuka]

That stock radio has a 4 channel 25W RMS power amplifier. The terrible quality has more to do with the poor acoustic design than the head unit. And again, what are you comparing to? Studio quality sound? On a car at that price point? Well, no. Not gonna happen. And that particular head unit is an option that can be upgraded to a touch-display with satnav and AroundView 360° cameras but again, not on the cheapest trim of the car. For that price-point, it's very adequate.

[@DrivewayDemons]

konatadesuka negative. Don’t care what they claim. There’s no way those speakers are 25watt rms per channel. If they claim 25 watts peak then they are maybe 5-7 watts RMS which is what I stated prior. My $600 pioneer double dinn is top notch and only 20 Watts rms. Peak power doesn’t matter. I don’t care about the upgrades only what was in this car. The Toyota Corolla and Ford Fiesta are both far superior cars on this price range and have much better audio quality as well as comfort.

[@konatadesuka]

Oh, so you don't care about technical specifications and you're basing your opinion on feelings.

[@DrivewayDemons]

konatadesuka lol you need to read what I wrote I’m not going to argue Symantics with you all day. The head unit is weak and the RMS is low. They might claim high power but doesn’t mean it’s delivering. Chinese electronics. I have been building cars and engineering audio and car stereos for 20+ years. The units in the car are junk. Judging For the sole purpose of listening to music and nothing else they suck.

lol if you hate the car, why bother wasting your time with it...

[@johnbewty]

I rented one of these a few years back. It was shockingly adequate! Seriously, I was surprised how... okay it was. Up through the 80s, 90s, into the 2000s... driving the cheapest cars on the market was just a horrible experience. It felt like punishment. You got something like a 1980s Ford Escort or even like an early 2000s Kia Rio and everything was flimsy, you didn't get antilock brakes, the stereo sounded like a clock radio, the cars didn't feel stable over 60mph, and they were so underpowered that you dreaded highway driving. Even the turn signal stalks felt like they'd snap off at some point. None of those things is true about the current Versa sedan. It's perfectly adequate transportation. Drove it to and from work every day for about a week on a rather hellish hourlong commute. I seriously had zero complaints. Comfort was fine, and I'm 6'1" 250lbs. Had plenty of headroom. I don't know how this reviewer dude felt cramped. Absolutely nothing on this car was what you'd call nice, but... nothing (aside from how dorky it looked) was really bad either. Even the radio was fine. I am really shocked and impressed that Nissan can sell these for 12 grand new or whatever they cost.

I owned this car for nearly 190K miles and while the review is totally subjective and not entirely truthful, there are better alternatives on the market. I'd buy a used car that is more substantial than a new one of these again.

[@ratherrapid]

@@kcmaldonado3948 good to admit ur review was "not entirely truthful". would be better if u did an edit and delete the untruthful portions. the Versa is designed for soft instead of hard handling. ur correct that it is less "substantial" than most used cars that are larger and more expensive new. The Versa is designed for easy driving, high gas mileage, cheap operating cost. Needless to say, if you want $100/month more in car payments u will find a better car. The new vs. used car debate for same price is interesting! Likely depends again on cost--e.g. gas mileage. While gas is $2/gallon, used car might make better sense. When gas hits $3.50/gallon, which it will, Versa makes a lot of sense.

[@kcmaldonado3948]

@@ratherrapid I was not referring to 'my review,' I was referring to the review in this video. I bought one of the first of this redesign and in 190K miles, the CVT went out ($3700 if you don't have the extended warranty), and I'd check out the early IIHS offset crash results for Versa. You mostly would likely not survive a crash, so saving money on gas won't really matter.

I own a 2016 versa, used. I got it because of exactly as you mentioned in this video: nothing but decent gas mileage. I think that's the audience Nissan was going for with this line of vehicles. While all these downsides should go without saying, you're deeefinitely coming at it from a very unrealistic angle. Very accurate nonetheless!

[@austingrisham7479]

Got my 2015 for $14k with taxes and fees. Don't regret it for a second. Make sure you get the 4 speed automatic, as the CVT has been known to have issues.

There is only a manual and automatic option right? You are saying there are 2 automatic?

[@austingrisham7479]

@@Albert-xl3nx for the 2015 they made a manual, a 4 speed automatic (base model), and a CVT.

[@S.Hunter279]

I like the way this car looks, I like the fact that it's affordable, but all the negative reviews are really preventing me from buying one. Based on those reviews, the biggest issue with the Versa, and Nissan cars in general, is the transmission. It's a CVT, which is a sealed unit that can't be repaired when it fails. You have to buy a new one, meaning that what you save in the short term, is paid in the long term, because in the long term, everything fails.

[@KingDrewPhilip]

I was in my 2008 Lexus IS 250 and one these was in my way on the freeway. Had to zoom around him. Did so effortlessly but damn these cars seem so weak. They also seem tall, like if you turn too hard you’ll flip the thing over. I own a 2018 Toyota Corolla also... for the purpose of driving for Uber. I wouldn’t take passengers in this thing!

[@dave_riots]

This car is actually really good for the money. Compared to it's closest competition, the Mitsubishi Mirage which starts at around 1-2k more, the Nissan Versa is the better choice, especially with the manual transmission. It has a lot of things you'd expect from a modern car of it's class, without charging you a little extra for things you can't have. This car is faster than the Mirage, it's more spacious, it's more reliable, it has more features for it's price, road noise isn't noticeable, ride quality is better, build quality is better, and unlike the Mirage; it can go up a hill without stalling, making weird noises, and rattling like crazy. I owned both the Mirage and the Versa, and I can say that the Nissan Versa is a winner.

[@oscarherrera1129]

Do you think it really improved with the 2020 model?

[@messiahette]

I have a Nissan Almera(Versa), bought it for work. Yes it’s not the fastest car, yes, it does not have all the fancy features, but for what I NEED it for, it does the job. Lots of space, low maintenance, takes me from A to B, and I can also use it on long trips when going on holiday. I also own a BMW X1 and that car fits what I NEED/WANT it for.

[@Red_Panda-me1dv]

[@hypat1aa]

I agree about the SV, not nearly as cute as the SV Special Edition. SV Special Edition has an upgraded interior. But I disagree about the trunk storage, it's bigger than my old Kia Spectra, oddly enough. For a small car, it's very well designed for seating and trunk. My boyfriend is bigger than you, and he was surprised how comfortable he is in it. It's not a speed racer, but great for what I need it for - driving in a city, with streets designed for horse carts. Versa gets the last laugh, because it's easy to parallel park anywhere and easy to get around on the narrow streets. My Kia was more fun to drive, but the Versa is more fun to deal with the awful gas prices, and city driving is a breeze.

[@thestranger8716]

The gas mileage is fantastic. The price totally made up for everything on my 16 Versa 😆

I have a 2019 and I actually like it, mine was basically free so I can't complain. I would have liked a few more addons such as powered windows and locks but mine does have a automatic transmission, touch screen infotainment screen with Bluetooth phone connectivity and a backup camera. the biggest pro to these cars is fuel economy, I average between 35 and 36 mpg. for the money they are good cars.

I like the review it was funny, me and my wife love Nissans. We own the 2016 versa and a 2017 Altima SR, the versa can't compare to some cars in it's class as far as options but it's not that bad. Great on gas but the sound system does suck. I had to change all that shit with after market speakers and a 12 inch sub. Now I don't mind driving it lol.

[@DrivewayDemons]

Thanks Deshawn! It definitely gets good gas mileage.

[@maxforever26]

Inherited my fathers 2011 1 Versa in 2016 (1.8sl automatic). I already had a '13 Camry that I had purchased new for around 24K. Figured it would be nice to have a extra car around. Even thou the Camry cost twice as much and is a better looking car (I got Attitude Black), the seats in the Camry are uncomfortable, it's loaded with cheap plastic (two pieces of plastic actually fell off of the seats in the car), and I had to take it back to the dealer at 30k miles to have work done on the breaks (which was still under warranty). On top of that the paint on the car was so cheap my front bumper got damaged from rock chips on the road. NONE of these issues occurred with my father's old Versa. The seats are comfortable, it's had no major issues and it's now hitting 95K miles (and the seats are WAYYY more comfortable than the new Camry that I bought). Now my wife (who talks crap about the Versa all the time similar to yourself), wants to drive the Versa all the time not the Camry????. So don't take some of the comments as being negative and "hateful". It's just that people are passionate about their Versa's!!!

[@eliseireland4256]

Some of y’all just WANT to waste money on gas. I drive my Nissan Versa 6 hours from desert to valley for $30 bucks.... and fits my family perfectly and comfortably. If you want all the finer things in life then fine get something else but it does its job well and I’m not broke cuz of it.

[@louiseingebrethsen]

I recently bought my friends 2007 Verse SL automatic with the CVT trans. and neither of us have had any major problems so far and its at 89,000 miles. As a matter of fact my friend has not had to fix anything major on the car.....not the alternator, or starter, or water pump, fuel pump, etc. etc. The only thing that broke down is the a/c, and horn/air bag spring, and to me that's not major because it has nothing to do with the car being able to run or not. So now I'm just wondering when all those things will be breaking down on me ???.....hopefully, I got some time and hopefully it won't cost a whole lot !!!

The thing is u have to review the car based on what is was made to do, its not a sports car its an affordadble economy car made to get u from point a to b on a budget I have personally drove one its not some luxery sedan but it does what it was made to do. What can you really expect for how much it cost. You get what you pay for, I feel it comes equiped with the essientials and what more do you "really" need.

[@toddjohnson6809]

Just rented a Versa from Enterprise. Drove it from Salt Lake City to Boise and back. 740 miles round trip.. Got 40 mpg running 70/75 mph. At 80 mph the handling gets a little floaty. Handles well at 75 mph. Had no problems climbing over mountain passes at 70 mph. My only complaints would be that the seats are a little uncomfortable, but I was able to drive 3 hours at a time before needing to stretch my legs. Arm rest positions were apparently not thought out at all. Cup holders are in positions that cause a bit of distractive driving to use. Too far forward, causing one stretch and lean down a bit too much to access. Front door pockets had bottle holders in them which were easily accessible. Headlights worked very well at night on low and high beam. Not sure about the cvt transmission as far as reliability. Have heard of reliability issues. Would rent another Versa for the same route again. Maybe the next generation will have more comfortable front seats.

[@ant26101]

I have had two, cost of ownership and reliability in the 5spd model is top notch. my 16 and 17 were great. Although agree with a lot of what you have called out on the Versa, you have to consider who they are aimed at. they are aimed at first time buyers, people like me that like to save money, and people who cannot get traditional financing. I had BC Racing Coilovers on my 17, which eliminated the instability issues that all of us Versa owners have concerns about. they are great cars if you do not care about being fancy, and they look pretty decent when done right.

[@kennethgorman5524]

ive got a 2015 nissan versa (basically the same model) I love my car although weve had our issues. Keep up with your CVT transmission fluid and there is a recall with the tail lights flooding and causing the transmission range sensor to cause shifting errors.
