2007 Nissan Versa -- Fold-Flat Seats Would Help

Today I am posting my obligatory "Take home a test car and write about its ability to haul your musical gear" post about the 2007 Nissan Versa. I have written about the Honda Fit in the past and commented that I appreciated the fact that despite its very diminutive size, it was cavernous inside. The Versa is, in fact, a larger car but does not have fold-flat seats. Rest assured, dear readers, that my gear fit...

But it was somewhat tight and hindered rear visibility. For the next edition, I would strongly recommend seats that fold completely flat for more space. Just a thought.

Humble apologies for my filthy camera lens. I promise, my next photos will be crystal-clear.

Ah, a mildly negative post. This is useful, and makes the Fit post look more important than it looked back then.

Almost looks like you tried to stuff your music stuff into the back of a VW New Bettle. It looks pretty cramped.

I read these blogs every day but I didnt even realize you added a Versa to the Long Term fleet...or the Lexus 400h for that matter, that also threw me off...

how does the Versa drive compared to the Fit, or Yaris hatchback for that matter?

Mike has a point, I didn't expect the Versa or RX400h here. Then I read the Edge introduction on the Inside Line main page but there's no mention here!

I haven't driven the Yaris. I'm really not too impressed with the Versa. It's similar to the Fit (same class), but I just think the Fit is more, dare I say, fun? It looks better, too. Nothing specific I can point to in regards to acceleration or handling (don't really have those road-tester skills) but I just preferred the Fit. The Versa fails to elicit any passion whatsoever. I think that's what it comes down to. For actual numbers, refer to our road tests of all.

The RX400h has been here a while, but it didn't have any posts in a LONG time.
 
I also knew the Versa was coming into the fleet, although there hasn't been an introduction yet. I read it in Karl on Cars. Karl talks about the brand new fleet cars most of the time when they first get them.
