Buying the 2018 Nissan Versa
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2018 Nissan Versa for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 2018 Nissan Versa? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
A buyer's checks
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 57 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, air bags and engine; have those parts checked. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Engine and fuel
It runs the 1.6L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Plan on about 21 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 6.9 L/100 km. Expect about $10.70 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,950 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the Versa
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 538 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
A longer test drive
Drive the Versa on your commute before you commit to it. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Versa first, and buy only if it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$1,950 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $10.70 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Questions first?
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
