Add to that the highest rating of "Good" in the frontal-offset and side-impact crash tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and you can see why the Versa makes sense for economy minded buyers. Owners agree a Versa with a manual transmission like ours has, is the way to go. Here's one owner's review.

"Maybe it isn't...the most feature rich, but Nissan has made a car that has everything I need, and nothing I don't.
