2007 Versa SL 6 speed. 105,486 and running strong. The only thing I have had to replace twice is the top engine mount.

201,372 miles. 2009 bought brand new in August of 2008 (Gen 1). My only repair was a fuel pump I picked from a bone yard for 65 bucks. Original everything except tires and brake pads. 3 sets of tires. 4 sets of disc brakes. Original belt, plugs, fuel filter, rotors, drums... Runs like a champ. Muffler split off the pipe, but welded it back on. Quiet as a mouse.

The car really likes Valvoline High Mileage 5w30. I tried a few semi synthetics, but this one makes it purr. I did drain the transmission at 100,000.

I have to be honest, I laid into this car with my lead foot daily. I floored it several times a day. It's seen 120 MPH. It's surprisingly steady, but don't move the wheel too fast. I made my last payment on it today. I got this pic last month.

This one in April of this year.

220K. Bought new Oct 2006. Well maintained with unbelievably no major issues or repairs. All oil change for life of car has been less than 4K. ONE oil change over 4K early on but not even to 5K. Been using same synthetic blend high mileage oil since 70K miles. Runs and drives great. Its been a great car.

Purchased new '09 Versa Base 178,000. Replaced manifold donut gasket, muffler, several brake jobs - rear once, plugs, front hubs, tie rods as we speak. Great car and still runs strong!!! Looking for another just like it. Other cars '83 Mazda RX7, '05 GMC Yukon, and '98 SLK230. ;)

Bought mine new in July of last year, had 1 mile for the test drive, 5 after, now it has 21k and everything has been great except the shaky suspension at 70mph and above. I have some 17in by 8.5in wheels to put on it, hoping these Borbets help with that.

I was unhappy when my third Versa only had a single-disc CD player, but lots of folks have had problems with the 6-CD changer, so I suppose that's why they no longer offer it. The 6-CD changers in my first two Versas never gave me problems other than not wanting to play occasionally when it was very humid. But my 2008 went to my daughter, who now has a CD stuck, too...

2008 Hatch SL with 162k miles. Still on the original CVT fluid...I really need to change it.

The only real issues I've had that have to do with the car design are the front door handle coming off, the 6 CD changer stopped working (I've tried taking it apart to fix it but to no avail), and it throws code P1421 from time to time.

Only those issues despite having been in 2 accidents (neither being my fault, thankfully). The rear hatch was replaced when I was rear ended and the front fender is pending replacement from the latest accident.

I'm really surprised this car keeps going without issue considering what I've put it through.

I've been eyeing a 4runner for a while and sending out low ball offers to dealers so I'm not sure how much longer I'll have the Versa. Not going to like making payments on a new vehicle though. I bought the Versa used in 2011 with cash (first car) so I've never really had a payment...which is very nice tbh.

I totaled it 4 months after that post and it ended it's life at 224,000 miles. The car spun out on me on an entrance ramp in the winter, and I went backwards off a 50 ft drop into a ravine and hit several trees. I got out of the car and walked up the hill without a scratch. I went and bought a 2011 SL Sedan to replace it.

In case you didn't know, there's a recall on the front springs. 2007 - 2012 Models. Dealer will replace the front springs at no charge if you're in one of the listed states that has frequent snow. NHTSA # 15V-573.

My 2008 Versa SL (w/Rockford) is running close to 180000KMs now I think. Body is starting to show it's age, but I had some rust touched up last year, so it should be good to run for a while yet.

Our 2011 Versa (base model with automatic) has about 97,000 miles. So far, the car has met all of our expectations. We named her "La Tortuga Negra".

So glad to see so many high-mileage Versas here. Mine's almost up to 130K, and I started reading the CVT horror stories so I was getting nervous. Hoping to pass the car along to my son soon (as he gets his license) so it needs to keep going! (Of course, we need to get this airbag recall taken care of before that can happen.)

2012 Hatch, 4spd-auto, S model, about 56K. Replaced starter. Field mice chewed through some wires so had to get the electrical system fixed, $300 ballpark, ouch ouch. Keeping my fingers crossed the tranny holds up, have read of some Versas' transmissions crapping out early on them.

1st work other than routine maintenance, throttle body replaced $1300 at 252,000 Miles. Just got misfire codes on cyl 2 and 4 (256,000 mi). Checked compression both low. Looking for good used engine now. Great reliable good mpg car. Full disclosure, of all new cars I have owned, this one had the lowest miles when it needed an engine replacement/rebuild. Highest was 415,000 and it was turbocharged! Started using synthetics when they first came out, never went back to conventional oils

I bought my 2007 Nissan Versa S in September 2006. I'm now at 201,000 miles. I must say that I haven't been diligent with timely oil changes.

Hi, I just got a 2016 Versa Note. It has 37,600 miles on it. It's my first Nissan. Do you think it could last 250,000 miles or more? I had a Honda Accord that lasted over 300,000 miles, but I also had a Toyota Camry that only lasted about 207,000 miles.

That's great to hear so many Versas that are running strong still reaching 35 MPG :)

I bought mine in February 2007. Sitting at 143,000 miles. I've been good about oil changes and regular maintenance. Replaced CVT fluid twice. Just had to replace the shocks and sruts. And of course the recall hassles –– both front airbags & the coil springs. But overall this has been a great car, and will soon be passed along to my son.

Bought a 2010 Versa S 1.8 brand new in the spring of 2010. As of this writing is has approx. 81,000 miles on it. Still on the original brakes and pads. Second set of tires installed at about 68,000 lbs. Never a mechanics wrench turned on the vehicle to date outside of fluid changes. Oil changes every 6,000 miles with whatever name brand synthetic is on sale. The only issue that recently cropped up is the radio (volume knob) is getting finicky.

Still going strong at 145K miles? Yes. But 35MPG? Heck no, it never came even close. Since the beginning with my 2007 I've been lucky to hit 32 (on a 1,500-mile drive) but around town usually land in the high 20s. Pretty much the only thing I hated about this car (which I'm passing on to my college-aged son).
