Hooboggled 
2007 Nissan Versa Hatchback 1.8 SL 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl 6M)
Great MPG, Comfort and Performance
 Everyone complains about the MPG but driving 70 miles RT in Los Angeles traffic I have never averaged less than 30 MPG and that is with traffic. Without traffic I've been getting 35 MPG.  I couldn't be happier with its performance.  In 16 months I have driven 28000 miles.  I have a boat in Long Beach at sea level and a cabin in Big Bear Lake at 7500 feet above sea level.  The Versa climbs the multiple 8000 plus foot peaks with ease and the manual transmission is great for going down the mountains.  I've had chains on it and almost slid through an intersection on some black ice. That was scary.  I've also taken it off road on dirt mountain roads and have had no problems.
