We’re admitted power junkies, and are therefore still coming to terms with the impressiveness of four-cylinder-powered cars like the Versa. Whether traveling around town or along challenging twisty roads, the power was sufficient, and when it came to highway driving, sufficient to the point of pulling us to triple-digit speeds, a fact we were unaware of until noticing how slow our fellow road warriors had become. If there was one thing we’d change it’d be the continuously-variable automatic transmission (CVT). It’s fine for casual driving, but when you want to punch it to merge with traffic, or when powering out of turns on a twisty road, the delay in power delivery can be annoying and nerve-wracking. We recorded 27.1 mpg.
