The Versa isnt my kind of car. Dont get me wrong. Its cheap, which I can get behind. The sedan we tested was the base model with no options, not even a stereo, which is why it only costs $9,990. Plus tax, of course. But still, ten grand for a car? Nice.
But theres a cost to getting it cheap. The lack of a stereo is just the tip of the iceberg. The cloth interior is something youd get out of the recycle bin at Wal-Mart. Durability was the least of the interiors problems, however, as the lack of stuff made me think motorcycle with seatbelts. No ABS. No A/C. The rear seat doesnt fold down. This is car making at its most basic, most primitive.
