2009 Nissan Versa 1.8S Hatchback
We traded in the 2000 VW New Beetle for Winnie’s choice of new car. This was a car she had been looking at for several years, even before we left Mississippi. She wanted an economical and practical small car for her commuting. However, after the first year’s ownership Winnie insisted that I use it for commuting as it got better mileage than the Rodeo, and Winnie went back to commuting in the Rodeo. This car met an untimely and sad end in a collision that totaled the car, but both Winnie and I walked away without a scratch.
