Mar 16, 2022

The 2011 Versa can last over 200,000 miles, with only rare engine and air conditioning issues. At $4,536 – 5,970, it’s well priced for the comfort and quality.

likeFilled The Good
Passenger space is outstanding, the suspension is very smooth and there’s a lot of cargo room available in the hatchback.
dislikeFilled The Bad
Safety ratings are terrible, the interior materials are cheap and the engines are underpowered.

Is the 2011 Nissan Versa a Good Used Car?

  • Yes, 2011 is a good year. We have received many positive owner reviews mentioning a roomy interior, low running costs, and a long-lasting engine.
  • Reliability ratings are good. We recommend models from 2010-2011, and buyers should avoid 2012 and newer models with widespread transmission issues.
  • There are two weak 4-cylinder engine options.
  • Fuel economy is great at up to 30 MPG combined.

Great for student, good gas mileage.
Good miles per gallon it has 38 miles per gallon highway. Gas is expensive so it is a money saver. It is a comfortable size, spacious because the back seats can go back completely. Nice and compact which is great for parking, and great car for a student overall.

Comfortable, higher reliability.
Most of the time that the car works perfect. I always use it to go to shopping, travelling and working. The car is very comfortable and I cost less money for gas consumption. But sometimes the a/c cannot work. Also, the power of my car consume faster than before now.

Would buy again, great car.
It runs well, I have not had to have any major. Repairs and the car is 10 years old. I loved it so much I bought a second one, which has also been amazing. The hatchback is nice because you can fit a standard wheelchair in the back. The sedan is nice as well, the backseat on both cars is more spacious and comfortable than one would imagine.

Great car. Smooth driving.
The vehicle drives well. Seems to have good gas mileage. If you are sitting in the car with the heat or a/c running the car does make a loud sound. I like that the gear shift is between the driver and passenger set, and not at the steering wheel. The manufacture stereo sound quality is not the best.
accountCircle Geraldine A
Very comfortable and cheap.
My vehicle is wonderful and comfortable. For one you will be able to find comfort and no debt here as they are really cheap. The gasoline and long trips that you can take anywhere for a cheap price always is great. This car is a money saver for anyone of a family or someone starting up. It is very comfortable since it is small it makes you feel like home. Some features including not need for much gasoline and comfy space are the ones every family needs. Some problems are that if anyone lives in snowy places. It is sometimes difficult to drive around and get out of snow. That is all the problems if someone lived in such conditions.
accountCircle Geisha O
My car is great on gas and never given me any issues.
I love that my vehicle is very economical when it comes to fuel. I have never had any mechanical issues with my vehicle. It is small enough to park easily yet enough room for comfort. I have nothing negative to say about my car.

Roomy Trunk for the versa
Vehicle is very basic with not too many features. The trunk is very roomy for a small car. Driving is not that bad. They did have recalls for the airbags.

Not terrible, but not great. Good gas mileage but not impressive.
Not very nice. Very basic. Rides well thought, very smooth. It also is easy to drive and gets good gas mileage. It has had a lot of maintenance issues once I got past 100,000 miles. I do regular oil change and maintenance. Seems to not be an extremely sturdy car.

Small hatchback that drives like a golf cart. Easy to park.
Do not love the shape. Drives a bit like a golf cart. Would like some other features such as backup cam and touch screen but you get what you pay for. I do like it generally and it is a good car but does need a few improvements I would say. Pretty small as well.

Time for a newer and cleaner vehicle.
My car has been through quite a bit. I have pushed it to it is limits and didn't take care of it very well. It is been a very trustworthy car but it is starting to become just a problem. It is time for a new and improved option. I am going to shoot for a bit of a bigger vehicle for hauling.

Nissan Versa, absolutely dreadful.
I liked the Nissan Versa at first but then it's continuously had problems since 60,000 miles. It's a great starter car but it is not great for long distances or long term.
accountCircle Brandy D
Overall likeability of my Nissan versa.
I have not had any major problems with my vehicle. There has been a recall on the airbags. Also, I have been having problems with my electric locks. I do not like how small the car is. I wish there was more room. The driver seat does not roll back as far as I would like.

Would not buy another Nissan.
Second hand. Comfort of seats on long drives as well as the cabin. Car has to work too hard to climb hills. Very basic with very few added features. Tiny interior. Too low to the ground. Seat belts tend to become too tight and often feel like they are strangling me.
accountCircle Melissa B
Would not recommend to buy.
Has hardly any power, very cheaply made, and this particular year and model has a permanent squeal in reverse that is not able to be fixed. Most positive thing is that it takes you from point A to point B and has fairly decent gas mileage. Would not recommend.

What Do Critics Say About the Versa?

  • Consumer Reports finds the Versa to be smooth and quiet, with good owner satisfaction scores.
  • Edmunds rates the Versa 4.6/5 liking the roomy interior, but finds the car to be very boring to drive.
  • Kelley Blue Book users give the Versa 4.4/5 with great fuel economy, but doesn’t think the car is as good as the Honda Fit.

What Problems Does the 2011 Nissan Versa Have?

Problems with the Versa are relatively rare and include an inaccurate speedometer, engine knock, and air conditioning system issues.

Speedometer inaccuracies show up in the first 15,000 miles and are the most common complaint. Owners have found the speedometer to be off by about 10 miles per hour, unfortunately Nissan says it’s within spec and there’s no fix for the problem.

Engine knocks are a rare but very serious problem at around 50,000 miles. Sensor failures, low quality gasoline, or worn out engines are all possible sources. Replacing sensors costs about $200, but full engines are over $3,500.

Air conditioning issues show up at around 55,000 miles in some vehicles. Failed compressors cause the problem, costing about $1,350 to replace.

There are 6 recalls including the front coil springs, and several for air bags. Most serious is the recall for front coil springs, which can increase the risk of a crash if they corrode.

How Long Will the 2011 Nissan Versa Last?

A properly cared for Versa will last about 200,000 miles, a bit shorter than longer-lasting competitors including the Corolla. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to other compact cars at $418 per year, according to Repair Pal.

As a Versa reaches 100,000 miles owners should prepare to replace the brake master cylinder for $450, ignition coil costing $275, and radiator hoses which cost $280.

accountCircle David B

The vehicle is mostly reliable for a long time. After around 80,000 miles on the odometer, the vehicle does start to have some problems that can be fixed. Overall the car is okay. I had the vehicle maintained on a regular basis so it did not have too many problems. The car's engine literally stopped in front of my neighbor's house after I had backed it out of the driveway. It was taken in, inspected, & components were replaced. The problems that it had were mostly fixed (it cost over $1,300 in repairs).

accountCircle Nichole S

The Nissan versa is very reliable for us. It fits everyone and takes us where we need to go in style. We have not had many issues with this vehicle.

accountCircle Madison C

Yes, as mentioned the reliability is one of the main reasons I would say it is a 'good' vehicle. Other than regular oil changes and normal maintenance, I haven't had any mechanical problems with the car.

accountCircle Athena L

So far the airbag had a recall. They changed it for free and the pipe on the bottom keep getting holes but I drive a lot so I get why it would happen. Besides general maintenance like breaks, lights ect its been ok

accountCircle Angie M

The Nissan is not super reliable. We have had to replace the engine twice, and the battery. The airbags were recalled and it took months for them to replace them. I had to sit in the backseat until they were replaced.

accountCircle Lyn B

So far the only problems) we have encountered is the driver’s side door handle fell off, and the brakes and tires have had to be replaced.

accountCircle Lisa K

The only problems I've run into are my alignment and tires. When I would brake over speeds of 45 miles/hour, my car would shake uncontrollably. Other than that, I haven't had any major car issues.

accountCircle Whitney B

Yes it is reliable, I do regular upkeep new tires oil changes and regular maintenance and needed. I imagine it is less to upkeep than other cars. I'm grateful for that.

How Much Is the 2011 Nissan Versa Worth?

Blue book prices range from $4,536 – 5,970 making the Versa more affordable than a Mazda3 or Civic. When new, the price range was $9,990 to $17,410. Depreciation is similar to other cars, losing about 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Versa?

There are four models available. Technology is outdated since it was introduced in 2008, with an update coming in 2015.

1.6 Base is the stripped-down entry-level model with:

  • 14-Inch Steel Wheels
  • Cloth Seating
  • Manual Tilt Steering Wheel

1.6 adds some good features including:

  • Air Conditioning
  • Anti-Lock Brakes
  • 4-Speaker Stereo System

1.8 S is a sportier model adding:

  • 15-Inch Steel Wheels
  • Keyless Entry
  • Power Windows And Locks
  • Cruise Control
  • 6-CD Changer and 3.5MM AUX Jack

1.8 SL is the flagship model and adds:

  • 15-Inch Alloy Wheels

Is the Nissan Versa a Safe Car?

Safety ratings are abysmal, only getting 2 out of 5 stars in government crash tests. Air bags are offered as standard. Anti-lock brakes and stability control are available as optional upgrades.

VehicleHistory Image

What Engines Come In the Versa?

There are two weak 4-cylinder engines available in the Versa. Performance is very poor, taking 9.4 seconds to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour.

  • The base engine is the very weak 1.6L 4-cylinder with only 107 horsepower.
  • An underpowered 1.8L 4-cylinder is available and makes 122 horsepower.

What Colors Does the Versa Come In?

How Big Is the Versa?

The Nissan Versa is big for a compact car similar in size to the Fit and Fiesta. Passenger room is fantastic throughout the cabin, easily fitting adults in the back seats with plenty of legroom.

Cargo space is excellent with a 13.8 cubic foot trunk in the sedan and up to 50 cubic feet of room in the hatchback.

Centered wide dash shot

How Does the Versa Compare to the Competition?

One of the closest competitors is the more expensive Ford Fiesta. Where the Fiesta stands out is with better interior materials, but the Versa has a smoother suspension. We recommend the Versa since there are significantly fewer mechanical problems.

Another competitor is the higher priced Toyota Yaris. The Yaris offers better safety scores, but passenger room is better in the Versa. Overall, the Yaris is a better choice since it has higher reliability ratings.

It is an okay vehicle. It has served me well for the many years that I have had it. The car has good gas mileage which is really nice. It is a lot easier to park this car because it is a smaller vehicle. The car for the most part has not had many major issues (just a few).

The good and the bad about owning a Nissan versa.
I love the shape and size of my car because it does not feel like I am driving around a huge bus and I can still park in relatively small spaces. What I do not like about it is that my three car seats do not fit in the car at all. This is a problem because I cannot take all three kids places.

Car is very compact, yet spacious on the inside. It is easy to make sharp turns that are hard. Good for reverse parking easily and making parallel parking a breeze. Really good on gas mileage. It is not crazy modern, but it does have good parts such as aux port and a porter to charge the phone.

2011 Nissan versa - a very reliable car.
IT is very reliable. I have only have to change the oil, bought new tires. Just in the last couple of months my hatchback defroster stopped working. It is probably a fuse. I do hear squeaking when I back up. It sounds like the back breaks but I have had them checked out by 2 different mechanics and they haven't been able to find a problem. I also had the front brakes replaced. Overall I am very satisfied. My car is really basic. I do not have any extra features. I have the basic security a CD player and a plugin that allows me to plug in my phone for phone calls, but I cannot listen to music through it.

The Nissan versa has been a great durable car since I purchased the car in 2011. There was one issue that caused the car to slow down on the freeway due to a recall part. Other than that I have not had any mechanical issues with the car, and with regular checkups the car runs well and I plan to have the car for a few more years. It does take a little bit of time to get up to a certain speed, but drives smoothly once there.

My Nissan Versa, a great commuter car.
Compact car that is easy to drive and park. I like the fact that it gets good gas mileage and makes for a good commuter car. However, it is not the most smooth ride and you can really feel every bump in the road. The seats are fairly comfortable and the fact that it is a hatchback make for a roomier feel when sitting in the back seats. Also, since the car is only a four cylinder engine, which helps the gas mileage, it is a car that does not have much power. And I find it lacking sometimes when I am going uphill and need to merge or change lanes. But that would be my only complaints about the car. The Nissan Versa has served me well for several years now.

It's a good reliable car it gets me and my mother to point a and point b everyday. Nissans have been a good reliable car in my family. I love Nissan cars they are great. I like Toyotas too as well we use to have a Toyota corolla it was very reliable too.

Reliable and very affordable.
It is very reliable and has lasted me for 6 years now. There was only one previous owner and there have been no issues with it, just need regular maintenance. I would highly recommend Nissan as a reliable car and an affordable car. They had one recall and fixed right away.

Nissan versa. The time of the car that has its death in due time.
The only thing wrong fb with my vehicle is the windshield the door handle and door panel. I have had to change the battery one tone and the spark plugs. We have also the master brake cylinder this car is runnable and is up for sale. I am in need of a bigger car.

The gas efficiency really great on gas. And only cause 25 to $30 to fill up.
There's really not much issues that I have since I have been having my Nissan for 3 years. The engine and the transmission stayed fine since I have been happening and I am almost at 180,000 mileage on the car. So it is really good to have and is really reliable.

Roomy Trunk for the versa
Vehicle is very basic with not too many features. The trunk is very roomy for a small car. Driving is not that bad. They did have recalls for the airbags.

Nissan Versa Good Reliable Car
A decent vehicle for someone that is not looking for anything fancy or expensive. I have a hatchback which looks compact from the outside but is spacious within. Not a lot of power but reliable.

Nissan dependability and performance.
I was very surprised by the roominess of this car, it appears small looking at it from outside but when one sits inside there's wonderful leg and arm room more than even larger sedans I've ridden in. The gas mileage I get with this car I am very pleased with and for a smaller car it has a fairly good ride. I've always had great satisfaction owning Nissan cars and this one stays true to that without exception. I'd definitely recommend this car to other people.
