Car financing: the 2017 Nissan Versa
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2017 Nissan Versa for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2017 Nissan Versa, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the Versa
NHTSA has 62 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, unknown or other and electrical system. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The numbers in plain words
It is powered by 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.
The combined figure, 6.9 L/100 km, means roughly 21 litres for 300 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $32.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
What the Versa is like
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 538 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
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. A test week in the Versa tells you more than any review.
Which one to look for
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
Questions first?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
