The Car Exam Quick Quiz #1: The 2009 Nissan Versa
Good Grades: Comfy front seats, okay cornering ability, good ergonomics and placement of controls, great visibility for the most part, excellent rear foot room, good low end acceleration, acceptable hill-climbing ability, decent styling and braking (and fuel economy).
Bad Grades: CVT can hunt too much at times (affecting acceleration at important times), coarse-sounding, somewhat loud and unrefined engine, sitting in the back seats feels like sitting on a hard bench, thick rear seat backs lead to an annoyingly uneven rear load floor when the rear seat backs are folded, thick c-pillar leads to large rear blind spots.
The Final Grade: This car has some nice features and attributes, but its short-comings are far too glaring to ignore.
The Car Exam Grade: C-
