People with the Spark are getting much better mileage (with manual trans) than EPA rating.

That's one of the things I like about the Versa. The rear seat is HUGE. It's larger than most mid sizes, actually. But it's dirt cheap. If I were to buy a new car right now, the Versa Sedan and Hatch would be #1 and #2 on my list. No doubt about it.

To me, the other huge advantage of the Versa is lack of power windows, power locks and all of the other unnecessary stuff that finds it way into cars.
