Mountain Wheels: Nissan Versa Note SR: Cute is what we aim for - Summit Daily News

The Versa Note SR’s standout styling starts with the modern, sculpted look of the second-generation Versa Note and adds a wide range of exclusive features. Body-color side spoilers and redesigned side mirrors with integrated turn signals complement Versa Note’s distinctive “squash line” side profile. My overall experience with the — yes — alarmingly sporty and stylish SR rendition of the Nissan Versa Note was a bit of an eye-opening, worlds-colliding, who-woulda-expected-that kind of deals. For here is a space shuttle-shaped car that mixes small-dog attitude, 40 mpg and a bit of practicality, all wrapped up in what seems like a well-written press release on the value of efficient but still usably spacious small vehicles. But as long as gas remains less than $3. 50 a gallon, it’s still going to be a stretch to convince anyone but a dedicated urban dweller — or someone on a tight budget, or with a low FICO score — that a small marvel like the Note SR is what is... That’s too bad as the good looking, mostly fun-to-drive Note — the happier and more lively version of the small-but-still-somehow ungainly Versa sedan — will fit in literally any parking spot with its 163-inch overall presence.
