2009 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 S 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 4A)
Basic
 I've had this car for about six months and I'm already tired of it. I previously owned an 06 Hyundai Sonata that I adored until I totaled it.  The Versa gets great gas mileage, and I trust the Nissan name.  However, it has depreciated $6000 already! I expected a small, foreign-made car to retain its value today but I was sadly mistaken! I have cruise control and ABS options.  I'm mostly disappointed at the high price I'll be paying off for several years for a tiny, basic car.  It is absolutely frightening to drive this car in the snow/ice or even high-wind (I was actually blown off the road once).  There is poor get-up (when compared to my Sonata) and poor storage up front (lacks a console).
