Based on price, engine performance, and comfort, I would go with the Versa Hatchback. I was pleasantly surprised by the interior quality.



Therefore, if you are willing to purchase non-American, my money is on the Versa until the new Fit and Fiesta arrive.
Are you kidding about the Versa interior quality? It was without a doubt the worst rental penalty box I have suffered through this past year. It was a stripped model with roll up windows and no-cruise. It might have well been my 1990 Mitsubishi Mirage hatch. Not a bad car for 1990.
