The workhorse at the bottom of Nissan’s lineup is the unassuming Versa, which in other markets is known by a variety of names, including Tiida (Japan), Latio (Southeast Asia), and in some markets even as the Dodge Trazo. Replacing the venerable Sunny nameplate, the Versa has become known as a great value, with lots of cargo space and a perfectly suitable 1.8-liter engine that makes a reasonable 122 horsepower. With a large greenhouse for excellent visibility, and an edginess to the sheetmetal that sets it apart in its segment, the Versa is a great starting point for a heavily customized hot hatch that impresses both visually and dynamically. The Upgrade Shop offers plenty in the way of both power and appearance upgrades, so make the Versa reflect your individuality.
