2007 Nissan Versa

For drivers familiar with more powerful vehicles, the only challenge here is getting used to the 2007 Nissan Versa's 122 horsepower. A test drive of the Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit should help put things in perspective. Once acclimated, there's some fun to be had wringing out the four-banger for a spirited jaunt, while rowing through the six-speed tranny can be quite entertaining. The Versa's powertrain provides a level of fun (not a particularly high level, but a level of fun nonetheless) uncommon to compact rides. Even corners can garner some smiles, provided you pay the squealing tires their due respect and stay within the limits.
