Go Versa!
I bought a brand new Versa last spring, and it was a great choice for me. I seriously thought about getting a Prius, but realistically, it was out of my price range. however, I paid just over $16K - including tax, title, and license - for my Versa SL (the up-graded model). My little Versa gets about 36 mpg, is fun to drive with the manual transmission, and is really practical. My fiance and I can get all our sports and camping equipment in there, plus our (very large)dog.
It makes me happy to see all the new small cars on the road. Even if they're not quite as fuel efficient as a Prius, they get good gas mileage, and are MUCH better than most sedans, trucks, and SUV's. They're easier to park and scoot in and out of city traffic, and they're not expensive. I think that a big key to convincing people to drive fuel-effience vehicles is to make them affordable to more people. I hope the trend continues.
