The Nissan Versa – Your Budget Friendly Alternative

Matteson drivers looking for a budget friendly vehicle should head to your Nissan dealer and give the Nissan Versa a test drive. The affordable Versa comes in either a hatchback or a sedan and gives drivers a lot of bang for their buck.

The sedan starts at just under $11,000, making it the least expensive car amongst its competitors. For the small price, the Versa offers you the most front and rear legroom and headroom for any small sedan in its class. The hatchback version gives you even more room, with increased legroom and a spacious cargo area.  The Nissan Versa goes beyond just offering a budget-friendly sticker price, you’ll continue to spend less at the fuel pump as well.

The Nissan Versa hatchback with the four-cylinder, 1.8-liter automatic with variable gear ratios gets 34 miles per gallon on the highway. The six-speed manual Versa hatchback gets a respectable 31 miles per gallon on the highway. However, if you’re making the commute from Matteson to Chicago and want to maximize your fuel economy, go for the Versa sedan, with the automatic. This 4-cylinder, 1.6-liter engine sips fuel at a very pocket-gentle 38 miles per gallon. If you like the control of a manual transmission, the five-speed manual sedan still gets an impressive 36 miles per gallon on the highway.

Surprisingly, the Versa’s little price tag also comes with a nice array of features. Hands-free calling with the Nissan Versa is super-easy. Make or receive calls with just a touch of a button, right on your steering wheel. Key information is also right in front of you, with an in-dash display of information such as instantaneous mileage, average mileage, and distance to empty. You can even get Nissan’s Navigation System to help guide you on your trips. It not only gives you turn-by-turn directions, byt also displays your incoming Bluetooth calls, shows MP3/WMA song information, and allows you access to all of your music with the easy-to-use touch screen.
