2015 Nissan Versa Note SR - Redline: Review 

Really like the SR styling and overall design on this one. I bought a used 2011 Versa and use it for Uber. I've been really impressed with it. Tons of leg room! And storage. Incredible on gas! Sometimes i can't believe the needle doesn't move more. Feels like a hybrid sometimes. Engine wise.. not the most powerful but perfect in the city and once up to speed on the highway i can push it to 130-140 pretty easy. Excellent mileage on the highway. Great car! Would buy another.

waaay better looking than the sedan. honestly this is a pretty nice car for a subcompact

Despite some negative reviews I have read online (slow acceleration and cheap interior), I was very impressed by the Nissan note that I recently rented in Miami (2018). I'm not sure what sort of performance and luxury some people are expecting from a low-cost subcompact car, but we had 4 average-sized adults in it, plus luggage, and I was impressed by the acceleration (even with AC running!) for a subcompact car. I easily kept up with traffic on the freeways and highways, AND it was getting over 35 MPG. I could hardly believe it! Nissan itself has a very good reputation for quality, therefore I would not hesitate to buy one of these for transportation and everyday commuting.

As a big guy not a big fan of small cars but my wife wanted this 2015 versa note SR I was very impressed with the leg room in this car I'm over 6ft tall and I can get in and out with no problem and I actually enjoy driving it. This car only take like 15-20 dollars to fill up depending on gas price but will go approximately 330 miles on that tank great economic car and comfortable and fun to drive

This is my dream car, don't care what anyone says

Love the reviews, you deserve more subs

I actually own this car I bought it 3 weeks ago as a first car for me and everything is just fine.

I rented a 2015 Nissan Note for 5 days here in Ontario. Drove it long distance on the highway as well as locally in my area (Cambridge, Ontario.) Very impressed. I was really surprised at how well it handled! Gas pedal was very responsive - peppy little car. Steering was also easy and responsive! The 1.6 4 cylinder really buzzed on the highway, but I actually like that in a car. It gives it character. Silent cars are boring! It should also be "noted" that the rental I drove was the exact model shown here in this video. It also had more than 360,000 KM's and still going strong and trouble-free! NO LIE! When I questioned the high mileage, the guy at the car rental place said this Nissan Note had travelled from Ontario to various places in the States 4 times and had also been driven across Canada! AWESOME little car! I highly recommend it.

I'm 16 and looking into buying my very first car, this review really helped me learn more about the car and figure out what I want to do. Thanks a ton!

Always coming back to this car because I'm really considering it. I've watched this review 3 times now. lol I'm looking for a daily driver so I can keep my 350z in the garage to modify/keep pretty. These have so much value for the price, i'm cross shopping this between the toyota yaris/prius C and the Scion TC.

Best car I have ever brought. I am 6foot 2 and have loads of room

10:26 watch out for the truck!! :) Nice video as always. Thanks

I am a huge Nissan/Infiniti fanatic, but I would take a Fiesta or Fit over this any day. Excellent review Sofyan!

great review thanks for your expertise and professional review overall

My best friend got a 08 Versa that he got brand new. He's got 125k on it now and the only thing he ever needed on it was a battery, and ride and drives pretty good and dare I say kinda peppy with the 1.8. It's the sl with the rarely seen spoiler and body skirts and soft touch doors. They kinda cheepin the new Versa in certain ways.

Now you just need to get your hands on a 2015 Honda Fit!

Great video, the car is quite a good choice now that the new Fit is actually more expensive than the Civic. Oh, and hey Sofyan, congrats on the new dealership, which is actually my local Nissan/Acura dealership.

Great review Thanks!

I bought a used 2015 versa note SR with spoilers and rear camera that same color and I love the car

Haven't paid much attention to the Versa before, but this car is surprisingly good looking imo. If they made a SE-R I might be interested.

I just bought this car two weeks ago I actually like it as much the civics that I had in 2001 2007 n 2012 2014

This is beautiful! If only it came in a manual transmisson!

Great review

nice little car, glad to see the SR trim but for 19k, I would rather have an EX manual trans. Honda Fit.

I have a 2014 note....and so far it seems to be a good little car.

10:23 I swear I thought he was going to run into that semi.

Good review & great Nissan.

Would love to have a Versa or Versa Note subcompact as a first car.

Nice Review Of 2015 Versa Note SR. 😁

They need to offer manual transmission on the higher trim levels!

I am a nissan fan love it as a gift is very sleek.

It is very fun to drive and makes you feel fast in manual if you rev it over 4000rpm for all the gears. The clutch is weird and makes the car shake even though i am not stalling or revving it at start.

When it comes to shopping in sub compact category, its best you shop within 16K range i.e Nissan Versa Note SV trim as you get the best car for your dollars. Upgrading it to SR/ SL trims, takes you near 19K -20 K which is compact car territory. You can get base trims of Sentra, Corrola, Civic etc in that money. And this is one of the main reason why versa outsells honda fit, cost of fit somewhere overlaps with Civic, corrola, sentra. So, even though Fit is the best sub compact, its not priced aggressively. Also one needs to understand the target buyer/ crowd for the cars. Versa and Fit are not targeted to the same set of people. This is reflected in their strategies, pricing, options in car, car build etc.

this guy is one of my favorite reviewers cause he's Asian from nj and I'm also hawaiin from nj...i ve been following him since he was reviewing his sisters 2012 civic

The car is very beautiful because it is a useful and practical car, I love it

hi, i have nissan note verso 2016, sv, bought in america, i live in ukraine, tell me how to change the speed from mile to kilometers on the dashboard, and the air temperature from faringates to celsius. thanks

Space, mpg, value. So it's like a new corolla in subcompact hatch form?

First comment💯 Great Review 👏 Long Time Subscriber™

I have been renting one with less than 2000 miles on it from Enterprise for the past week, I had to find somewhere to tell people that even with the defroster blowing with A/C button pressed in cold central PA I have steamy and actual ice on the back seat windows even after driving for many hours. I called to re-up on the rental for another few days and told the rental agent of this odd problem and he told me in this cold 10's -20's weather all cars do that, well I have a 2001 beetle tdi, 1995 W/T 1500 PU and a '67 Barracuda and all defrost in any temp, this car has a defect, rent before you buy and see what I mean, the frost became dangerous it as so bad

its so sporty that the SR trim still has drum brakes in the back!

I need this for a second gas saver car.

Our family own this model, it's 9 years old now but still good, well we live in an island so we don't really have freeways, and distance is quite short . 9 years, 60k+ miles, would still probabaly go for abother 8 years 😂😂

Has pretty good handling, but I prefer my volvo c70 honestly. Only driving this atm as a spare while my car is in the shop.

Front seats are tight, back is great. The look now is far better but the older platform was better.

Versa Note is being discontinued for MY2020 and I believe the Kicks is the replacement.

I thought they were making a SE_R trim as well?

Rather have a Mitsubishi Mirage with a better programmed Jatco CVT7 transmission. Both companies use it but Mitsu engineers mated theirs with much lower torque, curb weight of,2100lbs, and a 1.2 3 cylinder with only 74 hp. Way easier on the lil cvt.

this will get you from point A to B i would buy it

at the SL trim level they do offer headed seats, but just not leather.

I haven't seen other comments but the stereo you are using actually isn't touch screen. the touch screen looks just slightly different sorry to inform you.

I own a dodge avenger R/T lol it has more power 3.6 liter V6 cx but this would be.good work car :)

i love the music

Are you going to be doing a review on the 2015 Fit soon?

For Versa Note owners, how is that CVT transmissions holding up? I heard those can be like playing roulette.

You messed up Sofyan, you said Subcompact. Civic, Corolla, and Focus are all compacts. It would be correct to have said the fit, yaris, and fiesta.

Please review the new Fit and try to do the LX base model or the EX model at most. Too many other reviews have done the EX-L (leather model) which isn't going to be the model of choice that buyers will go for.

I believe civic is in compact segment

The jdm cars come with a supercharged 1.2L 3 cylinder. I wonder why they don't bring it here?

Hey Sofyan, nice review. I'm looking into purchasing my first car and I'm looking at new vehicles mainly because I'd be looking at a lease. More than likely I'll be browsing to get the best deal I can find on any certain vehicle. I'm not specific about any particular class of cars, I just need a car to get me from point A to point B in comfort (and to not have to walk everywhere). I have taken the Versa sedan and Versa Note into consideration. I was wondering if you ever have the opportunity, would you be able to do a review on a few specific vehicles? I have a list of which I would like to see reviews on if possible. Toyota Corolla/Yaris Honda Fit (2015) Mazda2 and/or Mazda5 (also looking into Mazda3) Jeep Renegade (once released) Nissan Cube/Juke Kia Forte I have many other cars in mind to browse, but these are just some of the ones that I'd like to see first-person, in-depth reviews on as you do typically quite well. Thank you for your time.

Have you ever reviewed the dodge caravan ? I'm very interested in it

Nissan's sell well because they are heavily rebated. Look at your newspaper auto section.

What size is the engine

Can you make a review of the Nissan Versa note SL?

Nice!

Just rented a Nissan Versa Note last week. This is a great handling FWD vehicle and it is a fantastic package - tiny 'footprint' w/huge interior. Friends who road in back couldn't believe the leg & headroom in such a small car. Negatives: 1) The brakes SUCK!!! Not very safe in that area, and 2) Grossly underpowered - it's a shame such a great handling vehicle is woefully underpowered. Needs about 50 more (Or MORE) HP to get the job done right. One last thing, how about a 6 spd. manual for each trim level. Come on NISSAN, you guys are supposed to be more exciting than Toyota!!!

the steering wheel is also on the Z. and also, the Mirage is cheaper. I got mine for under $13,000

Should be offered with a manual option.

It would be nice if nissan used the turbo four from the juke on all their cars as a sport option!!! Anybody agree with me?

I think it looks great but i would pay more for a hundai sonata

I guess this is a car where you can comfortably take note from school. They should had called it Tiida which sound better than being called Versa.

first of all this is not the true hatchback version for the versa or tiida which is it's correct name, unfortunately the actually hatchback verison is not sold here, instead nissan brings over the Note which is a different car from the versa/Tiida and selling it has a version of the versa but its not, it a Nissan Note.

Can u get a navigation app?

At 8:20 --- your comment about the back seats not being flat when fold down is not incorrect. The bottom divider which Nissan markets it as a "Divide-N-Hide Adjustable Floor" was in the lower position when your video was shot. If you set the divider in the upper position, the trunk floor and the back seats will be on the same level and would be flat just like any normal car. In your video, there is clearly a set of grooves for the bottom divider mechanism. I like your video review but please pay close attention to details and the materials given by Nissan or there will be some unfair comparison/incorrect information being delivered to the audience. Nowadays, people rely on true and honest reviews of any products. Keep up the work...

Is that Charlottesville, VA?

Can you review 2015 Honda Fit.

HEY EVERYBODY: IF YOU HATE CVTs like I do, then go and buy yourself a Nissan Micra with a 4-speed automatic instead. Its basically EXACTLY LIKE THE VERSA NOTE, just a bit of a different body style, that's it. Plus its a few $ Thousand dollars cheaper too. I love the old-school automatic transmissions with gears instead of CVTs so I'd get the Micra instead of the Versa-Note.

That's not a touch-screen...

You should have noted that Versa Note SL trim does have push button start

Car companies really need to stop making "sporty" appearance packages that don't add anything under the hood in terms of horsepower or torque.

I wasn't clear below, I want to say all windows were steamed up, the front window was clear 3/4 up the windshield and all other windows were fogged out majorly, I did find that cracking a window a little did clear them up but had to have heat full blast blowing defrost to keep warm which is not relaxing, I rent all kinds of cars and this one is brand spanking new so probably will happen with all new ones

Versa note or sentra no sunroof versa but the room ahhhh...

holly hell thats expensive for a subcompact, i can go out right now and buy a lightly used volvo s60 for that kind of money! much better car than that tin can

Both Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla are compacts, not subcompacts. Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris are subcompacts.

How does nissan compare to honda in reliability?

how does the car handle in the snow?

Well I bought the 2015 Nissan versa sedan and I love it the price was great and the car is roomy and saves us so much gas saves more then my previous Toyota so if your looking for a nice car and you don't wana spend up to 30,000 you should get this car or a Nissan versa sedan it's better then my brothers Ford fiesta he's a big dude and he cannot even fit in that car he paid way more then me and I got the same stuff he did besides leather seats which I wouldn't want anyways because when it gets to hot or too cold you feel it in the seats which I personally hate.. my bf is a big dude to and we have the versa and we love it we made a great choice and is so affordable compared to other cars we've seen where you basically get the same stuff. My recommendation perfect car for friends family and commuting.

I have one of these for a loaner. It has 1900 miles on it and it feels like it has 190,000 mi. What a miserable car!!!

The wheels look kind of like the 2013 civic EX.

I have 2015 honda fit. The drivers seat is poorly designed and there is no armrest. The center console is too low. I am having back pain and planning on trading it. For comuting the versa is better in terms of support but it is less powerful than the fit.

Q50 PLEASE

I'd say the Sonic is the current king of the subcompact class in terms of engine, transmission and ride quality with the 1.4L turbo LT trim. I get 41-43 MPG combined with my 1.4 turbo - that gives me 138HP, 148 lb-ft of torque and a 0-60 time of 8.0 seconds with my manual transmission (blows the Note, Fiesta and Accent out of the water!). Ride quality is light years ahead of the 2015 Fit (test drove both back to back) and engine noise is wonderfully quiet (unlike the Fit) with just 1500 RPM at 55 MPH. You can get a 7" touch screen infotainment system, backup camera, power everything, fog lights, 16" alloy wheels, etc all for $16,400 (my price after rebates, etc) with the best in class safety ratings. Not sure why you didn't mention it as you also reviewed one previously!

Versa nismo needed

Don't know your name, but the guy doing this review is cute.

10:03

Put the 2 front seats all the way back then see how much leg room the back seat has.. no one ever shows that. Not everyone is 5ft 2in tall

My friend had me help her last night with buying a Hyundai cause her versa had transmission failure at 80k. 4k to replace the transmission, just not worth it. Cute but shitty cars.

Thanks But NO THANKS!! 3 star safety rating is a HUGE turn off for me. Kind of sad they also sacrificed Side Impact Airbags on the Note, big no no for me...

I like the Fit much better.

Sit in the front if you're tall, and you'll hate it. The driving position is horrific, and the only thing that would help is a TELESCOPING steering wheel instead of just tilting NISSAN... However, sit in the back seat of this car, and you'll love it. Its unbelievable how roomy Nissan makes there small cars!

Can you review a Nissan Cube
