The Versa leads the small-car pack in spaciousness, which is worth considering if you carry passengers in the back seat. Standing tall in both dimensions and refinement, it may also tempt those who appreciate the smoothness of a CVT, which promises 33 miles per gallon on the highway (according to EPA fuel-economy estimates).
Nissan’s hatchback might not satisfy you if you need to fit three full-size occupants into the rear, but that’s common for entry-level compacts. If you like anti-lock braking but don’t want to pay extra for it, it’s an option on the Versa, not standard equipment.
