Anyone drive the new Nissan Versa? Does it compare with the 3 in any way? I know it is supposed to be competing with the Fit and Aveo and other cars like that but it seems more substantial looking than those cars.

 

Versa is a B-class car, Mazda3 is a C-class car (bigger) The comparison to the AVEO is more accurate than to the Mazda3.

Mazda3 has received top ratings since it's original launch as being a top value within the vehicle segment. I couldn't be happier with mine. (It's affordable, yet still fun and feels/handles like a higher quality car than it's entry level would otherwise indicate.)

 

not to mention it would be a terrible idea to purchase a car the first year it comes out. The manufacturers need time to work out the bugs and stuff with newly made cars. I also love the Mazda3

 

Still it's annoying that you can get integrated BT wireless on the versa, and not on the 3. That being said the 3 already comes with more than the versa.
