![]() ![]() A four-door sedan version of the Versa also is available and is covered in a separate model review. The 2016 Nissan Versa Note is a five-passenger, four-door hatchback offered in five trim levels: S, S Plus, SV, SR and SL. Overall, the 2016 Nissan Versa Note remains an affordable subcompact with a strong practical streak, but it struggles to stand out in this competitive field. The 2016 Chevrolet Sonic and 2016 Hyundai Accent both offer sprightlier acceleration while still achieving wholly respectable fuel economy numbers. Then there's the 2016 Ford Fiesta, which bring European-style sophistication to the table, albeit with very modest backseat and cargo dimensions. Topping that list is the recently redesigned 2016 Honda Fit, which is pretty fun to drive and is unmatched for its cargo room versatility. From a driving standpoint, other competitors in this segment are simply more rewarding in many respects. Furthermore, although the Versa's suspension delivers decent ride comfort, handling is rather indifferent. And while the car's 1.6-liter engine and continuously variable transmission (CVT) earned an impressive 40 mpg highway rating from the EPA, this tandem's performance is distinctly underwhelming when you're trying to get up to speed in a hurry. On the other hand, the Versa Note's interior styling is rather bland and features large swaths of hard plastics that cheapen the overall effect, especially when compared to most rivals. Indeed, despite that low cost of entry, this Nissan's got a lot going on.īecause it's a hatchback, the 2016 Nissan Versa Note is more versatile than the regular Versa sedan. Starting with the midlevel SV trim this year, Nissan includes a standard touchscreen infotainment system and even a nifty adjustable cargo floor that can be raised or lowered to accommodate various items. ![]() Perhaps best known for its affordable pricing, the Versa Note also boasts high fuel economy and a roomy interior with an exceptionally spacious backseat. If you're shopping for a practical subcompact hatchback on a tight budget, the 2016 Nissan Versa Note is one to look at. Car always felt safe and solid on the road. Enough power in 1st to cherp front tires. I never exceeded 6k rev and would typically rev to 5700 to get to 80 mph.

Traction in heavy rain excellent, no ice or snow driving. Engine temp gauge indication same in summer and winter. Highest mileage was over 40 mpg driving flat 50 mph roads. 6+ footer comfortable in back for 3k trips. No back or knee issues, surprising considering … only adjustment was for/aft and recline. Steering is fine, brakes fine, manual shift fine, tires excellent, visibility fine. Only expense was gas and oil changes for over 50K miles. Driven in Tx at highway speeds in very hot weather.
