Versa looks good on paper but I don't trust it.
We are talking about a French designed car built by a 2nd tier Japanese car company in a 3rd world country.
I'll pass.
Nissan builds some excellent stuff, don't get me wrong, but I don't trust their reliability, especially on a $14k car. Toyota or Honda are the only ones I trust to build a $14k car that is worth a crap.
The test drive is what really convinced me on the Fit. It met all my requirements and on top of it, it was a silly amount of fun to drive.
I think the Versa would be fine for someone who doesn't care as much about nippy handling and wants a bit more comfort and highway cruising serenity and is only going to keep the car for 2-3 years.
I wouldn't want a 4 year old Versa outside of warranty though. That's when you really begin to see the difference between a Honda and a Nissan and I plan on keeping my Fit for at least 5 years, probably longer.
