Finally, fed up with Nissan

I've had key issues with the basic model, seats will not go up nor down, I have had to replace the condenser, blower motor, radiator fan, smoke blows feom the AC even after getting the condenser replaced. Hou have to hold on to the steering wheel for dear life while driving on a windy day, especially the highway. I had to get

another key made because the one I had broke at the top where the key ring goes. I was quoted $165-200 from Waxahachie Nissan, I was quoted for a chipped key 2/$65 at Clay Cooley Dallas, all that to find out that I never had a chip in the freaking vehicle in the first place. I had to pay another dealership for my key code. I had contacted Nissan consumer relations dept., explained all that was going on, they transferred me the dealership. Nissan you made the car, you know everything about that car. Shame on you, Nissan. Not sure if I would ever buy another Nissan again. Lying about a key is beyond me. Lying about putting fluids in my car after getting an $75 oil change is beyond me, on all levels....

Great mpg but cramped

As an all gas car, the Versa gets great gas mileage. It starts without hesitation and has no quirks. It is a little cramped. As a 5"2' woman I have short legs and my knee hits the steering column while breaking. The seats are not the most comfortable.
