Versa Note Perfect Student Car

Even though it’s sometimes hard to believe, I was once a college student. These were the heady days of gas-guzzlers and loud engines, when–and I’m dating myself, of course–a gallon of gas cost the same as a bottle of soda. Needless to say, the overwhelming dedication to efficiency that is central to many of Nissan’s vehicles wasn’t yet even a consideration, but the intervening years have taught us quite a bit about the importance of responsible manufacturing, and the result of all these advances is the 2014 Nissan Versa Note, the perfect student car and the hatchback companion to Nissan’s popular Versa sedan.

Let’s start with that famous efficiency I mentioned earlier. Powered by 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine complemented by Nissan’s Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the Versa Note achieves a staggering 31 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. To put this in perspective, my college vehicle got about 15 miles to the gallon, and it was actually boastful about this. Given today’s concern among students regarding loans and a tough job market, it is reassuring to know that the money that once was spent on gas, gas and more gas, can be spent on more pressing needs.
The performance profile of the Versa Note, meanwhile, is absolutely ideal for today’s urban driver. Its peppy 109 horsepower provide responsive handling and an entertaining driving experience to reward its users during journeys large and small. Whether being used as a campus runabout or as a long-distance traveller, the 2014 Nissan Versa Note is ideally suited for today’s college student.
Of course, the very name of the vehicle suggests a certain amount of versatility, and this is something the Versa Note has in spades. It features best-in-class total volume and rear legroom, meaning that, although the Versa Note may appear to be a pretty petite package, it has a surprisingly capable interior. Add the convenience of its rear hatchback and Divide-N-Hide rear organization system, and it becomes pretty apparent that the Versa Note was designed with reliable ease in mind. Other features, such as the Around View Monitor and Bluetooth connectivity, round out the Versa Note as a vehicle that is both modern in design but classic in purpose.
The 2014 Nissan Versa Note is now available at Avondale Nissan, serving the greater Phoenix area–including its large university population. To schedule your test drive, contact our courteous sales team today.
