Fuel-sipping compact
Compact and functional are some of the words that best describe the 2015 Nissan Versa Note. It’s a typical city car with excellent maneuverability for navigating crowded streets and narrow spaces successfully. This subcompact in a hatchback body style was made to be a practical commuter car. It comes with all the necessities you need for a hassle-free trip, while leaving out the bells and whistles that are typical of a more high-end vehicle.

5 reasons to buy the 2015 Nissan Versa Note
1. Simple and convenient cabin
Simplicity and convenience are some of the main characteristics of the 2015 Nissan Versa Note, and they are best seen inside its cabin. It has the basic features that are needed for a calm, cozy ride, without the frills typical of a luxury car that you might never use anyway. It comes with a manually adjustable driver’s seat, 60/40 split-folding rear seats, and air conditioning. Bluetooth® phone connectivity is also standard.
2. Sufficient passenger room
If you were concerned that the 2015 Nissan Versa Note might be too small and doesn’t offer enough room for passengers, you’ll be happy to know that that’s not the case. It's a subcompact hatchback with a low roof, but the available space in the cabin is used optimally. There is plenty of room for passengers in both rows. Front headroom measures 38 inches, with those in the back getting 40.8 inches. There is 41.3 inches of legroom for front-row passengers and 38.3 inches in the back.
3. Decent cargo capacity
In addition to the roomy cabin, the 2015 Nissan Versa Note comes with a sizable trunk, too. If you want to be able to go on a short trip with your friend or carry a couple of days’ worth of groceries, the Versa Note will accommodate you without a problem. It has a trunk with 18.8 cu-ft of space, which increases to 38.3 cu-ft with the rear seats folded. You can fit your kids’ sporting equipment in there easily, along with a few backpacks or medium-sized suitcases.
4. Appropriate engine for urban driving
The 2015 Nissan Versa Note is not a performance-oriented car, so it doesn’t have a mind-blowingly powerful engine under the hood. But it does have an engine that’s appropriate for city driving, which means it helps deliver a quiet and smooth ride and doesn’t need large amounts of gas. It’s a 1.6L four-cylinder that produces 109 hp and 107 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission is standard.
5. Frugal performance
Good fuel economy is something that should come with the territory for small city cars. That’s exactly the case with the 2015 Nissan Versa Note. It returns impressive gas mileage, which is largely thanks to the frugal 1.6L four-cylinder engine. The 2015 Nissan Versa Note gets an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined.
