It’s kind of refreshing to see a car like this. It’s basic transportation that was designed as basic transportation but the designers obviously put effort into giving it a personality and they spent some money in places where it counts.

That is my impression of the Versa manual too from yt reviews, namely relatively inexpensive reliable transport and likely easy maintenance. Although other vehicles likely being twice the price or more, as long as it lasts at least half as long (likely much longer) it's a huge win. Assuming you like what you get

Same thing happened with cars that’s happened with housing. People wanted as big as possible with as many features as possible and the manufacturers saw $$$. All of my friends have suvs and trucks, which is bizarre cause many are anti having a family but want these large vehicles. And for whatever reason the wealthy became drawn to $80k trucks. Since sedan sales are up for pretty much every major manufacturer I think it’s a miss for the Big 3 to not at least have one.

These things are selling like crazy compared to the old Trax; I've started to see a bunch of them around and I think they're a nice looking small car. I also think there's still a huge market for people looking for a new car that starts at 20k and doesn't look like an absolute turd (Ford EcoSport!), but still offers a lot of features if not world class performance. A nice value in a pretty package. My only hesitation might be to the longevity of the 1.2, I think owners would be wise to strongly adhere to a prompt and timely oil change interval that's more frequent than what the manual or car says.

I hope this stupid trend will die off soon, so we can have more variety, like in the 90s and 00s.

In Brazil we have a Chevrolet Tracker with the same 1.2 3cyl engine with infamous wet timing belt (same system used on Ecosport with 1-liter Ecoboost and we already know what happens...) If the owner/mechanic doesn't use the correct oil (here is 5W30 API SP Dexos1 Gen 3) and doesn't change it every 4-5k miles, the timing belt will disintegrate, clogging the oil pickup tube, solenoids from VVT, vacuum pump, oil channels and the blow/knock the engine very very soon.

well of course, whoever doesn't change the oil every 4K miles or less deserves to have the timing belt disintegrate. its not too much to ask to change oil every 4K miles, especially on a very small hard working and high revving engine

09:59 - There's got to be thousands of enthusiast guys/gals my age who still drive '90s GTIs and Civics because you can't find ''hot hatches" anymore. And some of the younger folks I know are importing things like Peugeot 205s, now that the cars are old enough. I guess with the internet, finding parts isn't a problem as long as you can afford the shipping.

The Chevy tracker was just a rebagged Suzuki samurai / sidekick.. and there is no more Suzuki sold in the U.S.A. and they kind of work worth getting anyway because Suzuki made two little horsepower engines. But one of them was really crazy low horsepower. And that's the one they put in the Chevys they wouldn't put the bigger engine in the chevy. At least for the longest time that's the way it was...

That looks so well made. I'm really impressed. I have the same engine in my Peugeot 408. I love it. Just stick to the oil changes and only get them done at your dealer so you get the quality oil and filter and replace the wet belt before its too late. Give it a fresh oil and filter at 1000 miles to be on the safe side.
