It's A 2011 Nissan Versa SL 1.8 & It Rocks!

The 2011 Nissan Versa SL from Nissan won't let you get sucked-in by the high price of gasoline and will get you around town or on a long trip in style.

Weather we had the 2011 Nissan Versa SL at the Car Concerns Radio Proving Grounds or out for a spin on the open road one thing was for sure is that this was indeed a vehicle that could achive almost 30 MPG and do it without the cramping the passengers.

The interior was inline with a car with this price tag but non-the-less appealing. Our Versa SL had a Xtronic CVT 6 speed automatic transmission that enabled the 1.8L DOCH engine to produce 122 horses & 127 lb-ft. of Torque.

This Versa Sl was also a Ultra Low Emmissions Vehicle (ULEV) and that made you proud to be doing your part towards leaving a smaller envio foot-print while driving.

This 2011 Nissan Versa SL fills our needs very well. Available in both sedan and five-door hatchback body styles, the Versa offers a surprising amount of interior space inside of its small, unassuming exterior. The 2010 version was named a "Best Buy" by Consumer's Digest, and a "Top Safety Pick" by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). In basic sedan form, it's pretty sporty, but the up-level sedan and hatchback models not only offer all you really need in the way of comfort, performance, and safety, they can be had with nearly all of the convenience options that were restricted to the luxury class not too long ago. The 2011 Versa 1.8 SL Hatchback could be "all you want" as well as "all you need". It's that good!
