2015 Nissan Versa Note Hatchback 1.6 SV 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl CVT)
Nice Individuals Start Saving At Nissan
 Went from big cars (SUVs, Vans) to a subcompact.  Thought it would be like being born again to get out (in) but was pleasantly surprised.  The interior is as roomy as a normal fullsize car.  I am tall but have lots of headroom in the Nissan.  I also looked at other subcompact competitors: Ford Fiesta, Hyundai Accent, Chevy Spark, and Mitsubishi Mirage, and the Nissan Versa was the roomiest.  I sat in the back seat and my knees had a good 2-3 inches between me and the front seat with the front seat set at the farthest back position.  Another pleasant surprise was I get better in city and highway mpg than advertised.  I like the hatchback because it opens like vans or SUVs for storing packages and groceries.  Also, the cargo area is quite roomy for a subcompact but if you need additional room, the back seats fold forward whereas the seats are fixed in the other subcompacts I looked at. Finally, I like that you have to pull a release similar to the hood release to open the fuel door. This is a nice feature to protect against syphoning by thieves.  It is not a luxury vehicle but it is fun to drive with enough pickup for entering highways, good mileage for gas savings, roomy enough for 4 adults,  and a fairly quiet engine.  The best thing is, it has a tight turning radius and can parallel park in small spaces (doesn't take much room in the garage either).UPDATE:  I have owned this car for 13 months now and everything I stated above is still true but I would add a couple of observations.  I notice how much louder the engine noise is than in our other car but it is not horrible.  I also notice how much more I feel bumps in the road than our other car but this is true with any small car.  And finally I would note that I had to replace the third brake light (rear window light) already but because Nissan makes it one piece, instead of a $3 bulb, I had to buy the $92 complete light assembly. However, it was easy to install and this is the only repair in a year.  I am still enjoying this car.
