I don't know of the Nissan Versa, with me not being from the US but we have a Kia, not the Rio but the c'eed (next one up, in Europe anyway) and we can honestly say we have never had a problem with it. I've driven it from the top of Scotland to the South of England and it runs fine.

Over here we get a 7 year warranty with a new Kia, do you get that in the US? To me that was a big decider in buying our car.

Whatever you get I hope it works out for you. Good luck.

It's like a Chia Pet with wheels!

Stick to the Nissan, just don't get a cube, friends don't let friends drive Cubes!

I've rented and driven the Versa quite a bit and despite my dislike for small cars that aren't old-gen Beetles, I rather liked the performance and features in the Versa. Have a friend who has one and he beats his cars to shit, and it's responded well in the last year or two. Kias I don't trust, does anyone remember they came briefly to America in the early 90s with some cars and didn't sell or hold up well, so they retreated to Korea to fix their shit and are traying again now? I just don't trust the Kiowa.

Should I buy this entry-level piece of crap, or this other one? This is not a car-guys thread. I say buy the Falcon.
