#49 of 50 If you are serious about the kid... by carenthusiastv Jan 31, 2007 (7:29 am)
The Versa is the best car for the money I have ever driven in my life. Period. Scions are cheaply made, have a lackluster engine, and when there are 3 people in the car, drops gas mileage by a good 3-4 mpg, so without any delay I would definately assure you that the versa is much better for the purchase price.   However,   The Versa, though roomie and more comfortable, may not suit what you need. The Mazda3 is a bigger car, and now that you are to be a parent, it's in your absolute best interest to get a vehicle that will last you for quite a while.   DO NOT BUY AMERICAN.   I have owned 1 ford and 1 GMC, both of which died horribly and were poorly constructed for useability.   Once again:   - Mazda3 - Nissan Versa - Honda Civic / Accord - Toyota Corolla (Matrix is no good) - Nissan Altima (used) Replies to this message: judeo5 (Mar 21, 2007 4:39 pm)

Replying to: carenthusiastv (Jan 31, 2007 7:29 am) I stumbled upon this discussion thread and was happy to see that the discussion was centered exactly around what I'm trying to decide on. Currently looking at versa, fit, yaris, impreza wagaon and xA (my wife has one and I've loved it, however don't really want to have the same car).   I'm really torn on whether I really need an awd option.   It seems, that for the same features, the AWD for the subaru adds up to 19420 vs. the 14925 for the Nissan Versa S with the power option and ABS and auto trans.   Has anyone manuvered the Versa in snow, or over mountain passes? I snowboard often, and would like to know how well it does in that weather with chains on and without.   Since I really only need AWD 20-30 days out of the year, I'd hate to spend an extra 4000-5000 just to have AWD. I'd rather put $100 towards some heavy duty chains and some emergency equipment in case. Also, having that extra 8 mpg on highway for 320 days out of the year when i don't need the AWD would really save even more money. I commute about 50 miles a day round-trip I would say.   Thanks for the great info. I was already heavily leaning towards the versa, and this has just about tipped me over. Now it's just a matter of what I really need.
