I notice the recent issue of this highly influential magazine, has rated the Versaas "least reliable" in the small car category. I have had the fuel pressure problem. It was corrected, but nothing else (so far) has shown up. I only have2200 miles on my 2008 GL.

Curious as to how many others, might agree with this rating???

Consumer reports is garbage and biased. Ask anyone that knows anything about cars and they will agree that it is not a very reliable source.

So, no, I don't

I would say look at all the reports to do a compare rather than just one. All of them do have a bit biase... but after you read them all, you will get a general idea....

Consumer Reports is only good for American cars only, other country's car.... I would say don't take it too serious.

But... Versa do have a problem of inconsistance quality back like 1-2 yr ago, so...

...which is normal for a brand new model. I wouldn't have that as a deciding factor either. I've only had one issue with my V and that was the klunk in the steering wheel. They replaced a part and it has been good every since.

Other than that...the tpms is just a pain in the a$$.

Tell me about it. I've lived up until now being able to check my own pressure without needing a little light to tell me when I'm 1 psi under.

At Infiniti we can flash the system to just shut the TPMS off. I am sure that can be done for the Versa also. The light does not bother me much turns on and off who cares.

- TPMS is a federal mandate, you can't just "turn it off"...
