Be honest, if you could go back in time and do it again.....

I sort of liked the Versa (it's really big inside for a small car) but they seem to be poorly made for a Japanese car, and finding one with an MT shift and Cruise is hard. (if Yaris got totaled, I would likely get one)


The Scion twins were nice, too, but xB was really expensive. I found an xA I liked, but the guy didn't want to come to the price I wanted to be at, so I bought a nice little Yaris sedan.

Aveos are trash.

Accent/Rio was nicer than the Aveo, but still terrible.


If I could go back in time, I still would likely buy a Yaris. I wish I would have inspected it better to know that it had been in a not-so-serious accident, but otherwise I'm 100% happy with my car.

You mean the Versa sounds about right for a mexican car. Japan is way across the ocean, nowhere near mexico. Weird how you got those confused.

I've sat in a few different Versas at car shows. Each time I shut the door....not a good sound. Overall (for some reason I can't completely put my finger on...an overall feeling of cheapness? poor construction?)...it reminds me of the old VW Fox. That similarity is NOT a good thing.
