My guess it's because it the first yr. for that model. I have rode in a
Versa a few times. It's an OK car. My main impression was that it's
pretty roomy. My friend drives his company's Versa to make deliveries.
Seems like a real boring car.

That is probably the reason the it was listed as "not worth buying"! Boring
is good, as is excellent gas mileage, easy to clean interiors, not a lot of
options to futz up. That is what is wrong with these reviewers, they want
cars to be "exciting, mind-blowing, etc." Hell, it's just a CAR for god's
sake!

Nah. It's a NISSAN first year model. They have to be in production for a
few years before Consumer Reports will give them a nod.

They are a lot more generous than I am. Go look at a Fit...

It sounds like you've never read Consumer Reports. They couldn't care less
about "exciting, mind-blowing, etc." or they wouldn't have given Toyota a
free pass for all those years. With a few exceptions, they never recommend
any first year car, but if that is the reason, they also say so in the
recommendation column.

Currently (on the website this morning), Consumer Reports' '07 Versa overall
used car verdict is "Average". The '07 is neither on the list of used cars
to avoid nor the recommended list (the '08 is the only Versa on the "avoid"
list, because of reported engine and transmission problems).
