An early 70s Datsun 1200 had a curb weight just north of 1600 lbs. The current Nissan Versa weighs in any where from 2,693 lbs. (1.8 S manual) to 2,758 lbs. (1.8 SL CVT). @ Loy – We can pin a good bit of it on the weight.

See HealthyCar.org. They are dedicated to reducing interior gas emissions. The off-gassing from the Versa interior for the 2008 Versa is much lower than the record emissions for the 2007 Versa.

Nissan didn't market the CVT in their base Versa or I would have bought it. I have the Dodge Caliber with CVT. Feather footed the Caliber gets 31.4 MPG average, 35.6 Highway & 32.7MPG on trips over 4000 foot mountain passes. I think I would have averaged pretty close to 35MPG with the Versa & maybe close to 40MPG on the highway. Caution: The 2007 Versa(don't know about 2008) has the highest level of toxic off-gassing from interior materials of ANY car tested. The CVT transmission is superb in the Versa.
