Spent 1 week and 1,000 miles in a 2016 Versa

[Pryme]

So we were in So Cal visiting family and our rental was a 16 Versa sedan SV. Cvt.

We put 970mi on the car.

My take: the car drove fine. Pretty smooth but the cvt was terrible. It whines at certain times and under semi hard acceleration it can't catch up properly and is not fluid in its acceleration and or sound/feel.

I would not want the cvt versa.

It did pretty good in the mileage dept. I avg 44mpg from LA to Fresno and back. And 41-42.5 in so cal with horrendous traffic 75% of the time. And I used the A.C. about 80% of the trip.

The back seat was a real plus. It is very large with lots of leg room. No issues there.

The seats were more bolstered and pretty comfy overall.

With a manual this would be a much better car.
