The 2011 Nissan Versa for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Nissan Versa for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The 2011 Nissan Versa for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 269 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, suspension and steering; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain to know here is the 1.8L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
At 7.9 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 24 litres of fuel. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.25 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,250 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Room inside
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 510 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Versa answers the big questions. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.25 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $122.50 at our price setting.
