I’ve always been cheap when it comes to cars, as long as it has the basic necessities (A/C and Radio) I’ve been happy. A few weeks ago I picked up a 2019 Versa (5 speed) with 49K miles on it from my credit union’s repo lot for 10K; the credit union also offered .99% interest so overall I feel pretty good about the purchase. The simplicity and efficiency has me in straight econobox nirvana and was wondering if there are other weirdos out there like me who just love a good bare bones car that does one thing and one thing only, going from A to B.
Absolutely. I’ve driven the wheels off a Honda Fit (300,000+ miles) and I still get as much kick out of it as I did when I first bought it.
As a rental car, I also kinda enjoyed the Versa. It’s so light. The CVT was what let the car down, so with the stick shift it’s probably a bit of a hoot.
Funny you bring up the Fit as my wife drives a 2012 Fit Sport. Amazing little car that does whatever we ask it to. Only 150K miles so it’s barely getting started.
