Nestled somewhere deep within the the Yaris and Fit whirlwind, we find Nissan’s versatile Versa, powered by a 122-hp 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine. And now, as part of Nissan’s National Tent Event, you can get customer cash back on the 2009 Nissan Versa.

The Versa seats four adults can be comfortably toted around town without having to take extended stops to stretch—more important on those longer trips where you just want to get to your destination quickly. And those trips will cost a lot less if you decide to purchase a Versa: fuel economy figures are 24 mpg in the city and a whopping 32 mpg on the highway (automatic) and 26 mpg in the city and 31 on the highway (manual).

An optional CVT transmission is also available, though only on the Versa SL version. We’d probably opt for the manual because 1) the clutch and shifter on the Versa are butter-smooth and 2) the manual transmission will interject some enthusiasm into the driving experience. Our favorite part is that 3) it’s not just “any” manual, but a 6-speed manual, normally reserved for sports cars. _Shift is good.
