That's not entirely true. I cross-shopped the Rio. I was looking to spend as little as possible, but wouldn't compromise on wanting power windows/locks, A/C, automatic trans, and cruise control. The Rio was significantly more expensive if I wanted cruise control on that car because it included a lot of other features I didn't want. I think like $2,000 more. Not worth it. Plus the MPG on that car isn't quite as good. Also found it cramped and uncomfortable compared to Versa. It is a better looking car inside, but the Versa trumped the Rio in every other way for me. Cheaper, better MPG, roomier and more comfortable interior. No regrets.

I now have 12,000 miles and have had no problems, not even a rattle. I do have a heavy foot and still manage an average of 35 MPG. Must say I am still very happy with my purchase.
