Toyota Yaris vs. Nissan Versa Review

With its tighter turning radius, the Yaris is quite certainly nimbler than the Nissan Versa, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; however, keep in mind that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Convenience
You most definitely won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Toyota Yaris than with the Nissan Versa, as both offer similar ranges.

Comfort
Taller drivers will considerably enjoy the extra head room in the Nissan Versa's front cabin compared to the Toyota Yaris. The Nissan Versa offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the Toyota does.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Versa than the Toyota Yaris because of its larger tank. The Toyota Yaris fits in smaller parking spaces than the Nissan.

It costs almost the same to get the Nissan Versa to the dealership as the Toyota Yaris. As far as fuel economy, the Yaris and the Nissan Versa don't differ much. When it comes to gas mileage, the Toyota Yaris beats the Nissan Versa. In terms of MSRP, the Toyota doesn't cost much less than the Nissan Versa.
