2015 Nissan Versa Note Seat Room and Comfort: Pros | ||
Year | Comment | |
2014 | "Oh, man!" my son groaned as I pulled up in the Nissan Versa Note. Nothing against the car's looks. He just noticed that the Note is a very small car and feared he'd feel cramped in the back seat. Then he opened the door. "Never mind." The Versa sedan does have a couple of strengths. To the sedan's surprising amount of rear legroom (some midsize sedans, two size classes up, don't have as much) the Versa Note adds another inch. Plus there's no coupe-like roofline, so unlike in the sedan rear seat headroom is also abundant. Adults well over six feet will fit. But they won't necessarily be comfortable. The seat back is reclined too much for my taste, and the seat cushion doesn't provide much in the way of thigh support. A shame given the amount of space Nissan's seating folks had to work with. Also, it's easy to get the rear seatbelts caught behind the latches when you fold the seat then return it to its full upright position. You'll discover this has happened when your kids can't buckle up, and you have to get everyone out of the car to sort the belts out. While the Versa Note has the roomiest rear seat in the segment, the Ford Fiesta has the tightest. The latter is a squeeze for even the average adult. see full Nissan Versa Note review |

If you have a relatively vertical neck, you'll find that the head restraints are positioned too far forward for comfort. Reclining the seat more than you otherwise would can help with this. But then the seat is reclined more than you would like. see full Nissan Versa Note review |

2015 Nissan Versa Note Powertrain: Cons | ||
Year | Comment | |
Even among subcompacts, the Nissan Versa Note's 109-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine ranks as weak. The CVT (continuously variable transmission) does what it can to compensate, taking the engine up near its power peak then holding it there when called upon to scoot. But holding the engine's speed constant as the vehicle's speed catches up would feel odd even if the engine's buzzy racket didn't discourage heavy throttle applications. I didn't mind this behavior so much because I rarely called upon the Versa Note to scoot. Most often I pushed down on the go pedal just enough for the CVT to hold rpm at 1,500 to 2,000. This yields leisurely acceleration--cars behind me often opted to pass--but as in a Prius a relaxed driving style just feels right. The Fiesta feels quicker and sounds more enthusiastic when hustled. But for the best combination of power and fuel economy in the segment, check out the Chevrolet Sonic with its optional 138-horsepower turbocharged 1.4-liter engine. see full Nissan Versa Note review |
