From Rags to Riches: Driving a 2020 Nissan Versa to the Hamptons

Last updated: Aug 18, 2020 at 12:38PM
Published on: Aug 13, 2020 by Matt Smith

When the average car shopper considers a Nissan Versa, they’re doing so with one primary purpose: value.

Today’s automotive marketplace is awash with brilliant, beautifully engineered vehicles that, unfortunately, often cost well into the tens of thousands of dollars. The average transaction price for a new-car purchase sits well over $30,000, and that number rises every year.

So, when Nissan puts a car like the Versa up for sale starting at $14,730… well, bargain shoppers take notice. Especially when the car in question looks as good as the 2020 Versa.

Range anxiety remains a major impediment to the widespread adoption of the electric car. After all, America is a big place, and plenty of us see more than 200 miles of highway every week. But imagine, for a moment, that you’re living in a city, taking public transit to and from work, and rarely driving far from home. Maybe you want a car for your trip to the grocery store once a week, to visit your brother 20 miles away, or to take Max to the good dog park—the one in the next town over. If any of this sounds familiar, you may look at an electric car and think, “Hey, that’s not a bad idea.”

It’s a long and meandering road that has brought us to the current trend for these compact crossovers. The desire for truck utility and car comfort isn’t new, and the first attempt to fill that niche came nearly a century ago in the form of the station wagon, which served families well for decades. But folks are fickle, and the ‘80s saw the wagon fall out of favor, as first the minivan, then the SUV became the go-to choice for families needing to haul kids, groceries, and gear.

2020 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class

At first glance, the Mercedes CLA-Class looks frivolous. Too small to chauffeur and too expensive to truly be considered “entry level,” the CLA has primarily been viewed as the Mercedes-Benz for drivers who value style over substance—and who can’t afford to pony up for the larger and more expensive CLS-Class.
