The 2008 Nissan Versa is part of the first-generation lineup. Available in sedan and hatchback body styles, it offers ample interior space for a subcompact car. Two trims are available, S and SL, both housing a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 122 horsepower. The powertrain is paired with either a standard six-speed manual, four-speed automatic (for S sedans), or a continuously variable transmission (for SL versions). Key safety features include front-seat side airbags and full-length curtain-type airbags, but ABS is optional. Tech highlights include available Bluetooth and an iPod interface, becoming fairly common at the time.
