2010 Nissan Versa Review: Dependable, Spacious & Affordable Compact Car

Sep 3, 2022

The 2010 Nissan Versa lasts around 250,000 miles with only some minor spring and door handle issues. At $4,381 to $6,003 it’s a great value for a small car with plenty of room for passengers.

The Good

Passenger room is excellent for a car its size, both engine choices are fuel efficient and there’s more cargo space than in other small cars.

The Bad

The engines are weaker than other compact cars, the entry-level model doesn’t have air conditioning and anti-lock brakes are not standard.

Is the 2010 Nissan Versa a Good Used Car?

Yes, 2010 is a good year for the Versa getting an average overall rating of 7/10. Owner reviews praise the fuel economy, comfortable cabin, and the relatively low ownership costs.
Interior materials are good for an economy car with an average interior quality score of 7/10 . The seats are supportive with durable cloth, but the stereo system is very basic.
Reliability ratings are good, and it gets a higher score of 8/10. Avoid models from 2007–2009, and go with a 2010-2011 which both have fewer mechanical problems.
Performance is poor from both of the 4-cylinder engines offered, and they are not fun to drive.
The Versa is reasonably safe, earning a 4-star overall rating in government crash tests, with the lowest score being 4-stars in the frontal crash test rating.
Fuel economy is great, getting up to 30 MPG, which should give owners about 396 miles of range out of the 13.2 gallon gas tank. Fuel costs are $19/month cheaper than other compact cars at $181/month for 15,000 miles per year.

Positive Owner Reviews

Jeanne H

Great car for the price of the car.

The Nissan Versa is compact but roomy with good gas mileage and a quiet ride, roomy cab space with basic options no problems with my Nissan Versa. I love this little car I would buy another one in a heart beat great car, great gas great car Nissan Versa.

Kaci S

My wonderful Nissan versa.

My car has provided me with reliable transportation for the past decade. It is traveled over 130000 miles and has only had minimal issues. I have a job in Florida that I go to seasonally in the summer so I must drive over 1000 miles from Pennsylvania to Florida every year. Having this car has been wonderful. There has been usual wear and tear, but as long as the usual upkeep occurs, the car will be reliable. It also gets fantastic gas mileage.

Frank R

Good car that's small and nice

Easy to drive and. Very reliable. Small but fits full size adults easily in rear seats. Great car to drive

Claudine B

The surprising comfort and reliability of a Nissan versa.

My vehicle performs well on the road. It is adept to both city and highway travel. It is economical on gas mileage and surprisingly spacious for such a compact vehicle. I have found it to be reliable in all climates, which is especially important to me seeming I live in a state where the weather changes at the drop of a hat. In regards to features, it is your basic starter vehicle. It does not have all the bells and whistles, but what it does not have in that area it tends to make up for in comfort.

Spring W

2010 Nissan versa is a great car.

My car is very reliable and great on gas. It is small and quick. I have had a mild issue, replaced the muffler but my car reached over 95,000 miles before this issue ever raised. The muffler was a cheap and easy fix, totally recommend this car especially if you drive a lot.

sasha F

My 2010 nissan versa is in better shape then it was when we first bought it the only thing that doesn't work is the car charger.

Nothing wrong with my vehicle my 2010 nissan versa drives good when I bought it it was used the car wasn't cleaned out all the way but it's good now

Ashley W

It is great on gas. The paint seems to scratch very easily.

The versa is small and zippy! It is so much more roomy than it appears. With great gas mileage and very low maintenance, it makes a perfect care for anyone. Student, commuter, family, etc..

Martina R

Faithful through all weather extremes.

My Nissan versa has been faithful through thick and thin with me... Literally through any weather - snow storms and salty streets when we lived in Ohio and Illinois, then hot-humid climate the last few years in Florida. Only after 9 years I now have to replace the exhaust, and the window mechanism caved in (plane slid into the door and half disappeared. Now at over 100,000 miles still going strong.

Negative Owner Reviews

Sarah L

2010 Nissan versa hatchback.

The 2010 Nissan versa hatchback is not that great of a car. The car gets me where I need to go but it does not drive very smoothly. On the highway there’s times I feel that I could lose control of the car. I would not recommend this car to future car buyers.

Courtney A

2010 Nissan Versa Hatchback

Since I've bought this car, I have had nothing but problems. Started out as small issues like brakes and rotors, and progressed into the transmission needing to be replaced and the muffler falling off. I did not know when I bought the car that they were known for transmission issues. Even though the problems were fixed, the car does not sound right and still doesn't drive properly. I honestly would not recommend for anybody to buy this car and I wish I could afford to get something else.

Erin S

Terrible car. Do not buy.

It messes up constantly. This car is as basic as it gets. The car sounds like a go cart and overheats easily. I would not recommend this car to anyone. It is not comfortable has no cool features. Not Bluetooth capable. The car is ugly inside and out the only reason I even bought it was because it was the cheapest on the lot.

Andrew W

Too much noise . The car has absolutely no room.

Too many noises the dashboard creaks and pops and make noises all the time. The windshield wipers are horrible they're either too fast or too slow and they make a ton of noise. . The car does not really have any room at all although it is a hatchback the seats do not fold down all the way so you cannot really put anything in the back of it at all.

Katherine D

Nissan versa: plain but reliable.

My Nissan versa is not stylish, and it does not have any frills. It is however fairly reliable. I have never had problem starting it, and though the engine does not have a lot of pickup, I have never had problems with it or the transmission. Visually it is not very appealing, but it is pretty spacious.

chad v

Indicators need more usage to indicate to driver what is going on

Leaks trunk leaks back seat need stronger horsepower

Ann M

I would not recommend this car even though It has great ratings. There are too many recalls and need to be repaired often. It is roomy for a small car.

My car is always needing repairs. It has too many recalls.

Patty S

Will not start if you have your foot on the brake.

This is the second Nissan I have owned. I had constant problems with both. I bought the versa new and have had electrical and transmission problems and even had one problem with the car not starting that the manufacturing representative could not explain.

What Do Critics Say About the Nissan Versa?

Consumer Reports says the Vera is a comfortable subcompact car with plenty of room, and has good owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the 2010 Versa a 4.3/5 praising the fuel-efficient engines, but doesn’t like the lack of cargo space.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Versa 4.4/5 and enjoy the spacious backseats, but owners don’t like how quickly they lose value.

What Common Problems Does the 2010 Nissan Versa Have?

The most common problems found on the 2010 Nissan Versa include spring and strut failures, broken door handles, and the engine cutting out while driving. It’s even free of the CVT problems found on other Nissan models. Overall, these problems are similar to other compact cars from 2010, and repair costs for the Versa are cheaper.

Spring and strut failures are the most widespread complaints from owners, showing up at around 66,000 miles. The front springs and struts just tend to wear out faster than in other vehicles and have to be replaced. A new set costs about $600, depending on local labor rates. If corrosion played an issue in the failure, then there’s a recall to change them for free.

Broken door handles are another issue mentioned by owners at around 50,000 miles. The door handle breaks off the plastic linkage located in the door. Replacing the door handle costs around $100.

The engine cutting out while driving also shows up on some Versa models at around 70,000 miles. The main source of the problem is the mass airflow sensor, which starts to fail as the car gets older. Replacing the mass airflow sensor costs roughly $150.

There are 8 recalls, average for a compact car from 2010. The most serious recall is for the front springs corroding and Nissan will change out the springs for free. Most of the other recalls are for air bags and are a common recall across all compact cars.

How Long Will the 2010 Nissan Versa Last?

A well cared-for 2010 Nissan Versa lasts around 250,000 miles, giving it a good durability score of 8/10. It’s around 50,000 miles less than top-rated competitors like the Honda Fit. Regular annual maintenance costs are a bit lower than other compact cars at $423 per year, according to Repair Pal.

Since most 2010 Versa models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace items including the evaporative canister for $500, the steering knuckle costing $600, and the vehicle speed sensor, which costs $300.

Daniel A

For the past few months it has had an issue starting but no one can tell us why. Sometimes it starts right away, other times it takes multiple tries to get it started. It always starts in the end though.

Lilly B

Yes it is reliable, and no, there have not been any major problems with it other than parts that have needed replacement due to age.

Kaya D

It is very reliable. I have had my car for a year and have not had any problems yet. It does not have much space for storage though.

Molly J

It is fairly reliable. It stalls sometimes. The design requires that the tires be rotated and replaced more frequently than normal. The hatchback will no longer open and close, etc and is very expensive to replace.

Angel R

It has no problems and was recalled once for airbag problems that have long been resolved, there's nothing else wrong with the vehicle, it is as reliable as treated.

Jason H

It has only recently started having problems. I like its reliability. I worry about the repairs becoming more expensive over time, though.

Jeh G

My Versa has been extremely reliable so far. I've had absolutely no problems out of it and have loved driving it.

Sarah E

It is reliable most of the time, but it has had rare problems in the past. The front passenger side wheel detached from the car while I was driving one time.

Is the 2010 Nissan Versa a Good Value?

Yes, the 2010 Versa is an excellent value. Blue book values range from $4,381 to $6,003, making the Versa cheaper than similarly equipped compact cars like the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. When new, the price range was $9,990 to $16,780. Depreciation is worse than average, losing about 12% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Nissan Versa?

There are four versions of the Nissan Versa offered for the 2010 model year. The first generation was introduced in 2007, and replaced by the second generation in 2013.

1.6 Base is the entry-level model with:

What Engines Come In the Nissan Versa?

The base engine is a weak 1.6L 4-cylinder which only makes 107 horsepower and gets up to 29 MPG.
A step up is the run of the mill 1.8L 4-cylinder, which produces 122 horsepower while getting up to 30 MPG. Performance is worse than other compact cars, taking 8.9 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Nissan Versa Come In?

How Big Is the Nissan Versa?

The 2010 Nissan Versa is a compact car, but smaller in size than the Mazda3 and Volkswagen Jetta, giving it an good passenger comfort score of 7/10. It’s offered as either a sedan or hatchback. Passenger room is better than other small cars with enough legroom in the back seats to fit adults.

Cargo space is good, with enough room in the trunk of the sedan for 3-5 suitcases and the hatchback has enough space for over 10 suitcases.

How Does the Nissan Versa Compare to the Competition?

The 2010 Nissan Versa is good compared to other compact cars in the same price range. It offers a comfortable cabin with decent interior materials and is more reliable than models from 2007–2009.

The Nissan Sentra is another competitor from Nissan which costs about $800 more. Performance is better in the Nissan Sentra with the larger engine, but the Nissan Versa has a more comfortable interior. We recommend the Nissan Versa for the 2010 model year since there are fewer mechanical issues than the Nissan Sentra.

The Hyundai Elantra is a competitor which costs about $700 more. The Hyundai Elantra has more luxurious interior materials, but the Nissan Versa has more passenger room. We recommend the Nissan Versa since the Hyundai Elantra has a lot of transmission issues.

Rizalina E on June 6, 2021

My verza baby. The very first car I ever had and last car I want to have.

My vehicle is really awesome. Very economical when it comes to gas usage. It can also very useful to use. I can load many kinds of stuff. And very low maintenance. I never have any problem with my car. From changing lights to small repairs. I don't need more help from repair shop.

Bailey A on May 23, 2021

Reliability and spaciousness for the win.

My versa has been extremely reliable, which was the number one thing I need in a vehicle. I have owned it for 8 years and have had no major issues or costly repairs, besides basic maintenance such as brakes, battery and starter replacements. Another bonus is that the car is actually spacious inside even though it looks like a small sedan.

Destinee H on April 24, 2021

My car is small but roomy. It fits 5 people. It's a reliable car.

My car is small so tall people do not fit in it very well, but its 4 door and it fits 3 kids in the back. I just recently had to put new airbags in it. The performance is fine I haven't had any issues with it since I got it 3 years ago. It's a super reliable car. I would personally recommend it!

Mimi S on April 8, 2021

Okay car if you are looking for a no frills decent driving, good on gas car.

This car is a no frills vehicle. This vehicle has had 2 recalls and the coil recall has still not been fixed on the vehicle. I would not recommend if you have children because very small car and the backseat is very tight. Car seat barely fits in the backseat due to it being tough.

Felicitas G on April 5, 2021

Small, but very dependable, hatchback is a plus.

Awesome performance for a little car! Reliable,can't say enough! My next car will be the same car! Newer model! Wheels are low price, good car for today's economy, with gas being so high, tank fills up with a little over $20.00. Small car but still very roomy somehow.

Cathy F on April 3, 2021

The crv is comfortable and roomy.

About to get new car probably a Subaru, nephew sells at buyers. No complaints on Nissan. Had Honda in past accord and can.

Jacob M on April 1, 2021

Spacious smooth riding quiet car.

I really enjoy the car. Might be small but is very spacious. Only downfall is it loses versus value fast. The car ride is smooth and is quite. The sunroof and screen with GPS is awesome. Easy to get in and out of tight places. New parts are pretty cheap. Overview the Nissan versa is a great family car.

Brooke T on March 29, 2021

Reliable little car with few issues.

My car is very reliable. It has required very minimal maintenance in the last 9 years. The most significant issue cost less than $200 to fix. The back seat is very spacious. The trunk is too small for 3 roller bags. It gets fairly good gas mileage. Overall a good little car.

Angela W on March 28, 2021

I like the fact that is It's a little compact car that was in our price range.

It had low miles when I bought it 2 years ago, only 35000. The master cylinder and the clutch cylinder both had to be replaced shortly after buying the vehicle. Otherwise I haven't really had any problems with it. Comfort wise, if your just looking for a little 4 cylinder compact vehicle the comfort is good. It if course does not have the comfort of a luxury vehicles.

Kari S on March 25, 2021

Its lightweight so can be shaky in the wind.

I like the size of the car. I love the gas mileage I get. I love the comfort in the car and how spacious it is inside.

Jackie C on March 24, 2021

Good reliable car for responsible or begging drivers.

This car is very reliable but it has some factory issues so they fix/exchange parts of the car for free such as front coil springs and airbags. At least they notify you by letter when to change this parts and help you schedule appointments close to you.

Julie R on March 22, 2021

Nissan versa: love it! Buy one now!!

Have not had any major problems. Rides nice and even. Interior is very comfortable. Found the vehicle to be very reliable. Not crazy about the service at the dealership. They are pretty rude. Very basic model. Runs well and is extremely reliable. Highly recommended.

Tamara P on March 20, 2021

It has great gas mileage both in town and on the hwy.

It has good gas mileage in town and on the hwy... It is a great commuter car... It needs arm rests. My car doesn't have them.

Robin T on March 19, 2021

My Nissan Versa makes my life so much easier knowing that I can depend on it.

I love the reliability of my Nissan. I like how I fit into the seat and feel high enough to see over many vehicles. I have no complaints about this car, there is nothing to dislike in my opinion!

Chris E on March 19, 2021

2010 Nissan versa features and issues.

It is hard to unlock especially if you accidentally leave your keys in there since it does not have the regular locks that the newer models have. Also I cannot open one of my doors from inside. I do not know what the problem is. It is very gas efficient. Whenever I get a full tank, it usually lasts me about two weeks. It is very easy to handle and maneuver. It does not have keyless entry or power windows.

Beverly C on March 15, 2021

Mega reliable, fits into tiny spaces, versaw.

I absolutely love my car. She’s reliable and I have only had a couple mechanical issues in the 6 years I have driven it. I get great gas mileage, the ride is good, and I cannot really make any complaints on the functionality, outside of changing the headlight bulbs is a pain in the butt. The arm rests are overstuffed in my year, so there’s a lot of upholstery damage where the foam is showing BC the pleather became unattached. I have had it fixed once, and the specialist said with time, it would happen again. It is just a cosmetic blunder.

Jared S on March 13, 2021

A small car that has value in its ride quality, fuel efficiency and passenger size.

It is reliable, it gets good fuel mileage. It has had very little maintenance. The work that has been done has been cheap. For a small car it has enough room to fit four adults comfortable. It has four doors. It Rhodes good for a small car. It has had no problems at all.

Erin S on March 13, 2021

Terrible car. Do not buy.

Brandy J on March 10, 2021

This 4 door hatchback car is compact yet spacious with great gas mileage.

I have had my Nissan versa hatchback since 2011 and I love it. Its a smaller car, but the inside is spacious. It takes me about $23 every other week to fill up the tank. I have not had any major mechanical problems with my car. The only things I have had to replace since 2011 are the breaks and the tires. If you have children, it's a great car for you. As I said before, the inside is spacious. The hatchback truck is great has a lot of room too. The seat go down if you want to transport something too big for the trunk. There is a rear wiper on the back window that is great for keeping the window clear when it rain. The last feature that I love are the coin holders. In addition to the 4 cup holders, and two bottle holders there are also 2 coin holders so you can print your toll if you don't have smart tag like me.

Julie C on March 9, 2021

Easy to drive Nissan versa 2010.

Overall, this vehicle is amazing to drive. It has easy controlled steering, great gas mileage, and is surprisingly roomy for how compact it is. The car parts are also inexpensive so maintaining your car should not be a problem. The only thing I wish was different was that the car was a little safer, only because it is so tiny it is more likely I would get in a more severe accident.

Darrell P on March 7, 2021

It is big enough for the whole family.

1)runs good.. 2) easy on gas.. 3)good engineering went into the mechanics of the car.. 4) poor craftsmanship on the body.. 5) paint chips on the hood, hatch.

Paul B on February 23, 2021

2010 Nissan versa a nice car for the price.

I would have to say that this vehicle is very good on gas as well as having plenty of legroom, comfortable interior, and an all around good vehicle. The only real complaint I have are that the spark plugs are in a bad spot but overall I really like the car.

Marissa D on February 23, 2021

Great compact car. Allows ample space when parking or backing up.

This car has been insanely reliable. The only issue that has arisen was a recall that was done on the airbags. However, it was corrected and fixed for free. Everything else on the car is in perfect working condition live ever driven it to other states.

Frank R on February 22, 2021

Good car that's small and nice

Easy to drive and. Very reliable. Small but fits full size adults easily in rear seats. Great car to drive

Karla g on February 20, 2021

It has kept me safe on the road

I love it. It's been so good to me since the day I got it.

David A on February 17, 2021

2010 Nissan versa Nissan is overall, a very reliable brand.

J.D. Power gives the 2020 Nissan versa a predicted reliability rating of three out of five. 2010 Nissan versa stands out for its roomy cabin and comfortable back seat, which is rare in this class.... The versa fuel economy ratings of 28/34 mpg city/highway are good, but the versa is not a fast car.

Edwardo O on February 10, 2021

My car is small, easy to maneuver, fast, dependable, and cheap on gas.

It is really good I love my car it is dependable and cheap on gas. The only flaws are that there are not a lot of options for you to customize it and I find I have to buy new tires a lot more than with my old car. More reasons why the car is amazing is because it is small and easy to maneuver.

Raymond D on February 9, 2021

I do really enjoy the chocolate flake color paint job.

I don't enjoy that the car absolutely has no power to the car what's so ever. You literally have to floor the gas pedal just to get the car up and going. Not to mention the inside of the car is very small. No room to put anything because it has the smallest trunk ever.

Lan T on February 6, 2021

Nissan versa: the longest-lasting car I have ever used.

My vehicle is not too big, but not too small, so the seating space is very comfortable. It has an open trunk that can be accessed from the back seats, so it is more convenient to grab things during urgent times. However, the air conditioning system has some issues with equal spreading around the car.

Adrian N on February 1, 2021

My car of over 10 years keeps running and running.

The car has been very reliable. I had to replace the muffler twice and the shocks were recalled, which is odd. But, I had the car for 10 years and overall I like it. Great on gas and comfortable seats. The back seats are roomy and have a nice fabric covering them. However, the fabric tends to be like velcro for dust and lint.

Brittany M on February 1, 2021

I can leave the car running/locked and come back to a warm vehicle.

I have owned my Nissan versa for nearly 7 yrs now. It get great gas mileage and fixes are easy enough although some things are difficult to get to under the hood. At 118,000 miles give or take my transmission went out. But it was under warranty until 120,000 miles so it was fixed for free by the dealership. My vehicle is 10 years old now and only needs small fixes here and there every so often. Normal replacements. The inside is very spacious because it is a hatchback. It is perfect for me size wise. I will most likely drive this car until it cannot be driven any longer. Very happy with all of the features and make of the vehicle.

Sarah S on January 20, 2021

Super cute, fun car, super safe

My Nissan versa has been incredibly reliable and safe. Not to mention it's super cute. I've got 150000 miles and counting on it. It's been a great car to me. The gas mileage is amazing and affordable. I would recommend the Nissan versa to any potential buyer.

Samantha G on January 16, 2021

Efficient and comfortable.

It is very comfortable and pretty reliable. It has a lot of miles on it now so it is having more problems. It takes a while to turn on sometimes. The past year I have had to replace a lot of stuff. It is very gas efficient though. The speaker isn't that great. Sometimes one of the speakers will go out.

Holly P on January 15, 2021

The car definitely get very good mileage

I like my car because it has enough doom for my family. Also gas mileage is very good. The trunk is huge. The only thing I dislike is it goes through air in the tires quickly

MARTIN S on January 10, 2021

It saves gas for because I drive a lot in it

It saves gas for one. Its small and it fits in small places. The seats don't go down in the back just in case in need to put something in back. Always getting oil changed and brakes done.I am always changing my tires every 3 months. I wish it had more technology inside it

Michael M on January 9, 2021

It is white and small and dented as hell.

5 speed is great. Horse power is terrible but hell if you need a reliable vehicle then it is for you. It is small and compact so to my other fellow big guys it may not be the move for you. Speakers are ok. Seat should go farther back etc. Best thing I could say is stay away and that is about it.

Johanna F on January 8, 2021

Easy to maneuver, easy to drive.

I have had no problems with this vehicle. Regular maintenance really does the trick! I would highly recommend the Nissan brand to anyone. The vehicle is a little light so I recommend bags of kitty litter in the trunk during the winter months. Other than that, great vehicle.

Chris B on January 7, 2021

The car is the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned.

The car has been a very nice car. It has over 200K miles on it now and is still going. It gets good gas mileage and has never had any major problems. We will likely be getting a new Nissan later on this year although it may be a Pathfinder or something like that.

Megan G on January 7, 2021

My first vehicle: best decision ever.

I got my brakes fixed but they still screech when I am driving. The tire pressure indicator is messed up. However, with it being 10 years old, I still love it! It is small, easy to drive, but it has such a spacious interior! These three things made me fall in love with this vehicle. It was my first vehicle at 21 years old and I plan to keep using it for a long time!

Payton S on January 4, 2021

My vehicle is a great starter car and is compact.

It is a reliable, basic starter car. Revs pretty slow but it works completely fine. It starts up well and is small enough to fit into small spaces, and its wheels can turn into places easily. It is compact enough but it can also hold a good amount of storage in the back.

Pauline R on January 3, 2021

One interesting detail is that the interior light of the car is green.

My vehicle is ten years old so it has a few issues. The bumper is a bit bent from getting into two fender benders in the past. The door handle on the driver's side comes off easily and needs to be repaired. Some of the interior is also coming off. Despite these issues, it does not affect the performance of the car as it still drives well. Some of the features it has is power locking and power controlled windows, automatic transmission, cruise control, air conditioning and heating, radio, auxiliary cord plug-in, etc. It seems to have plenty of space inside. One problem it did have that was fixed was that the trunk wouldn't open.

Cathy T on December 31, 2020

It drives great and rides nice. There's plenty of room.

I haven't had this long. It drives great and rides nice. It's one of look into buying again.

An L on December 29, 2020

Great car for a first car!

Great reliability, features such as not having automatic car locks and having crank windows rather than electric are not great but the gas mileage is fantastic especially for long drives. Overall I really do love the car, even if there are some features that would improve my quality of life with it.

Lauren M on December 29, 2020

Little Red Four Door Hatchback

This car has very few problems. Normal maintenance. It is small enough to get good gas mileage but not so small as to be cramped and uncomfortable. Easy to drive and maneuver. Plenty of room for shopping and taking other people along. Okay for tall people.

Best car for a small family!

I love my car!! Have only had one major issue with it in the few years I have had it, but a tune up fixed it just fine. Does amazing on gas and never have had an issue with oil leaks that are common in the model I have. Sadly, there is not enough leg room for my family and will have to trade it in within the next year or so.

Gas mileage, small, large truck

I have not had any problems with my vehicle. It is quite small. But a large truck space. It is comfortable. There is no truck unlock bottom inside the vehicle, you have to use your key, which is a pain but is minor. Gas mileage is good. I love my car

It's a very small versa that rides very smooth, seats are very comfortable.

I love the vehicle very much haven't had no problems and it just rides very smooth. I would recommend it to a family of 3 or 4, especially when going on vacation trips. If you are looking for a small car maybe for yourself I say versa cannot go wrong. With comfort room.

Very reliable and easy to maneuver.

One problem is that the vehicle takes a while to go from 0-60 mph. However, the gas mileage is very good, I do not have to spend as much on gas every week as I do on my other vehicles. The car is small and much easier to maneuver and park than bigger vehicles.

Hatchback! Gives you easy access to the entirety of the car.

Very reliable, looks small but has a lot of indoor space. Has never given me an issues, other than the upkeep maintenance. Able to travel long distances. My favorite thing about my versa is that it is the hatchback edition. I work with dogs, so having that act as my cargo space for them is excellent.
