The Nissan Versa is a staple throughout the industry as being one of the most sot after car available to frugal drivers who value fuel efficiency and price. And for good reason: the Versa offers more comfort and cabin space than you might initially expect. In fact, it has more room than most other cars competing in the subcompact segment (i.e., the Aveo, Fiesta, Fit, forthcoming Sonic, and Yaris). It also offers one of the lowest overall ownership costs of any car available.
It sure is a good deal. But for the next-generation, the engineers at Nissan are making it even better. For 2012, the second-generation Nissan Versa gains many new comfort/convenience features, asking drivers to sacrifice less for the car's ever-frugal price tag.
