The 2011 Nissan 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 34 miles per gallon on the highway (according to EPA fuel-economy estimates).
Nissan’s Versa might not satisfy you if you need to fit three full-size occupants into the rear, but that’s common for entry-level compacts. Some may find the Versa’s top-hat-like design not as hip or cool as the Honda Fit or Ford Fiesta.
